Otolith morphology analysis is one of the main tools used for fish or stock identification. Moreover, otolith shape can also be in animal dietary studies (stomach content) identification prey fishes and their size according to relationship between sizes. In present study, length morphological dimensions was investigated sabre squirrelfish, Sargocentron spiniferum (Forsskål, 1775) (family: Holoc...

Knowledge of the foot morphometry is important for proper foot structure and function. Foot structure as a vital part of human body is important for many reasons. The foot anthropometric and morphology phenomena are analyzed together with hidden biomechanical descriptors in order to fully characterize foot functionality. For Croatian student population the scatter data of the individual foot va...

At the time of surgical repair, a lung biopsy was performed on patients with congenital heart defects who either had pulmonary hypertension or in whom it would be likely to develop if the lesion were not corrected. Pulmonary vascular changes, assessed morphometrically and also according to the classification of Heath and Edwards (Circulation 18: 533, 1958), were correlated with the postoperativ...

A new species of Parahelichus Löbl & Smetana, 2006 is described from Laos and Thailand: P. pseudogranulosus. A similar species, P. granulosus Delève, 1974, which was originally described only from a single specimen, is redescribed and morphometric data are provided from 442 specimens from Vietnam and Laos. Habitus views, illustrations of important characters as well as results of morphometric a...

Eight cases have been studied in which both lung function and histological morphometric data was available on divers' lungs. A correlation was found between the increase in forced vital capacity measured at routine annual medical examination and the morphometric measurement of alveoli by mean cord length. The results suggest that reduction of forced expiratory volume in one second may be due to...

Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

Early Cretaceous (late Barremian – early Aptian) fissure fill deposits near Balve, North Rhine Westphalia, Germany, have yielded a rich continental vertebrate fauna over the course of last two decades. More than 250 fragmentary specimens, including more 150 osteoderms (i.e., granicones), represent late helochelydrid Helochelydra nopcsai , which had previously been reported from UK, France, and ...

Methods 1) 10 weeks old Fgf10 mice (50% Fgf10 expression compared to WT) in normoxic condition: Lung function and morphometric analysis. 2) BPD model: a) Fgf10 and Fgf10 mice were exposed to 85% O2 from P0-P8. Morphometric analysis and a-Actin/vWF staining were performed at P3. b) Rosa26;tet(O)Fgf10 (gain-of-function) mice were exposed to 85% O2 from P0-P8. From P9-P45 the pups were exposed to ...
