Skeletal deformities seriously relegate the biological performance of fish. The frequency of occurrence of different types of meristic variations and skeletal deformities were shown in population of Mahseer fish, Tor putitora, in two main reservoirs; Korang stream, Islamabad and Dhobi Ghat stream, Hassan Abdal. Total of ninety-five fishes were caught randomly, forty-five from the unpolluted Kor...

We aimed to show the utility and reliability of sternal morphometric analysis for sex estimation.Sex estimation is a very important step in forensic identification. Skeletal surveys are main methods for sex estimation studies. Morphometric analysis of sternum may provide high accuracy rated data in sex discrimination. In this study, morphometric analysis of sternum was evaluated in 1 mm chest c...

Fractal-skeletal based channel network (F-SCN ) model, which describes how the boundary of the basin constrains the channel network evolution, produces a channel network pattern that obeys Horton’s laws. The statistical features of this model conform well with real networks. For this F-SCN that depends on general shape of the initiator-basin, generating mechanism and rule, and the nature of ske...

In a previous paper (Raxter et al., 2006), we devised new formulae and clarified measurement procedures for estimating living stature from skeletal height using Fully’s (1956) anatomical technique on Terry Collection samples. Like previous researchers (Lundy, 1983; Lundy and Feldesman, 1987; Sciulli et al., 1990; Sciulli and Giesen, 1993; Bidmos, 2005; Petersen, 2005), we found that it was nece...

Tournament water skiing is an increasingly popular and internationally successful sport in Great Britain, despite the climate. The kinematics and injury patterns of the three disciplines will be unfamiliar to most clinicians and are described, with estimation of the stresses. Advances in equipment over the last 15 years have reduced the risk of severe injury in the tricks event, while high spee...

We present a virtual try-on system EON Interactive Mirror that employs one Kinect sensor and one High-Definition (HD) Camera. We first overview the major technical components for the complete virtual try-on system. We then elaborate on several key challenges such as calibration between the Kinect and HD cameras, and shoulder height estimation for individual subjects. Quality of these steps is t...

With age in degenerative effects on the skeletal system there is increase in the risk of fracture. Mechanical strength of human bone depends on chemical constituents present in it. The present investigation focuses on estimation of bone inorganic constituents: calcium, phosphor and determination of mechanical strength: tensile, compression. Further a correlation is developed to establish relati...

camptomelic dysplasia (cmd) is a rare autosomal dominant congenital dwarfism characterized by shortness and bowing of long bones (camptomelia) and other severe skeletal and extra skeletal malformations. cmd is generally considered to be lethal and the majority of cases die in the neonatal period due to respiratory insufficiency. we hereunder report a term male neonate with characteristic clinic...

Disseminated angiomatosis, also referred to as cystic angiomatosis, is a generalized disease that involves bones and soft tissue. It is characterized by multifocal hemangiomatous lesions of the bones with possible visceral organ involvement. The clinical manifestations differ according to the site and the extension of disorder. Here we describe a case of generalized angiomatosis occurring in a ...
