1. Body-weight, body height, knee width, wrist width and skinfold measurements were made on males (n 139) and females (n 167) in three age-groups (20-22, 25-27 and 30-32 years). Percentage of body fat was calculated from skinfold thicknesses using regression equations according to Durnin & Womersley (1974). Three indices of relative weight were calculated: W/H2, W/Hp and W/W, where W is body-we...

Study area is located in the higher folded belt in the Zagros Mountain in the Iraqi Kurdistan. Analyzed geomorphic indices included sixteen sub basins: the stream gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (AF), hypsometric integral (Hi), Valley floor width-valley height ratio (VF) and mountain front sinuosity (J) is obtained relative of tectonic activity in the study area. These indices abo...

Background: Craniofacial anthropometric values and indices are vital for experts from different walks of science. Variations in such evident racial geographical attribute. Furthermore, anthropological classification would assist clinicians planning regional surgeries, forensic identification many more. Objective: In this study we aimed to measure the head-face landmarks a particular population ...

Abstract. Mountainous landscapes often feature alluviated valleys that control both ecosystem diversity and the distribution of human populations. Alluviated, flat valley floors also play a key role in determining flood hazard these landscapes. Various mechanisms have been proposed to spatial width floors, including climatic, tectonic, lithologic drivers. Attributing one drivers observed floor ...

Excessive alveolar bone resorption is commonly found when teeth are extracted. This is a problem in anterior part of mouth because it will result in an unaesthetic pontic on a narrow hollowed out alveolar ridge. Yet, another problem is gingival recession and root exposure in adjacent teeth which represent a therapeutic problem to the clinician.Use of acellular dermal matrix graft is an appropri...
