Allometries of Maximum Growth Rate versus Body Mass at Maximum Growth Indicate That Non-Avian Dinosaurs Had Growth Rates Typical of Fast Growing Ectothermic Sauropsids
We tested if growth rates of recent taxa are unequivocally separated between endotherms and ectotherms, and compared these to dinosaurian growth rates. We therefore performed linear regression analyses on the log-transformed maximum growth rate against log-transformed body mass at maximum growth for extant altricial birds, precocial birds, eutherians, marsupials, reptiles, fishes and dinosaurs....
متن کاملMaximum Growth of G
This study is concerned with the numerical calculation of the maximum spatial growth of GG ortler vortices on a concave wall. The method is based on the direct computation of a discrete approximation to the spatial propagator that relates the downstream response to the inlet perturbation. The optimization problem is then solved directly by making use of the propagator matrix. The inlet optimal ...
متن کاملA Numerical Method for Estimating the Variance of Age at Maximum Growth Rate in Growth Models.
Studies on maturation and body composition mention age at peak height velocity (PHV) as an important measure that could predict adulthood outcome. The age at PHV is often derived from growth models such as the triple logistic fitted to the stature (height) data. Theoretically, for a well behaved growth function, age at PHV could be obtained by setting the second derivative of the growth functio...
متن کاملThe determination of maximum tumor growth rates in the rat.
The aspects of the tumor-host relationship concerned with the determination of the maximum rate of tumor growth supportable by the host animal (6, 9) and elucidation of the factors regulating this maximum growth rate have received little attention. Barrett and Hansen (4) have recently confirmed the early observations of Bittner (5) and later others (9), who reported that , in mice bearing multi...
متن کاملDinosaur Metabolism and the Allometry of Maximum Growth Rate
The allometry of maximum somatic growth rate has been used in prior studies to classify the metabolic state of both extant vertebrates and dinosaurs. The most recent such studies are reviewed, and their data is reanalyzed. The results of allometric regressions on growth rate are shown to depend on the choice of independent variable; the typical choice used in prior studies introduces a geometri...
