Seventeen morphometric and seven meristic body characteristics were examined in 406 specimens of damselfish (234 females and 172 males) caught in the middle Adriatic (near the Korčula and Kopište Islands). The differences between the mean values of the measured morphometric characteristics in the males and females were not statistically significant. Modes were identical in males and females for...

 Traditional morphometric measurements and meristic counts were used to investigate the hypothesis of population fragmentation of Mash mahi, Aspius aspius taeniatus (Eichwald, 1831) among two fishing areas in southern Caspian Sea basin(Tonekabon:32 specimens  and Sari:34 specimens ). Univariate analysis of variance showed significant differences between the means of the two groups for 12 out of...

This work evaluates sperm head morphometric characteristics in adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age, and the effect of varicocele. Volunteers between 150 and 224 months of age (mean 191, n = 87), who had reached oigarche by 12 years old, were recruited in the area of Barranquilla, Colombia. Morphometric analysis of sperm heads was performed with principal component (PC) and discriminant analy...

Landscape analysis and landscape planning need sophisticated spatio-temporal image analysis complemented with context-sensitive methodology. The latter means that raster processing has to evolve beyond per-cell analysis. We have integrated two approaches for the delineation of homogenous areas, or “mapping units”. First, a multiscale image analysis technique is used to extract objects from eart...

PURPOSE In the present study we made actual measurements of the normal and affected auricles of patients with unilateral cryptotia and performed a comparative statistical analysis. We also made a compilation of our own cases and other cases reported in Japan, and reported the results of our statistical analyses. METHODS The subjects of this survey were 36 patients who came to our outpatient c...

The study of growth and development of the facial profile is of interest to clinicians and researchers in the fields of pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and craniofacial surgery, enabling diagnosis, planning, and evaluation of treatment. Until recently, craniofacial studies addressed facial growth, facial asymmetry, and gender differences by examining changes in size. However, size changes al...
