Background: Hand-grip strength studies with healthy adults have shown correlation between anthropometric variables and hand grip strength. There is dearth in literature in population of Saudi Arabia. The objective of this study is to describe normative data to evaluate the relationship between handgrip strength and other anthropometric variables especially hand length, forearm circumference wit...

INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that the application of penile-extender devices increases penile length and circumference. However, there are a few scientific studies in this field. AIMS The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a penile-extender (Golden Erect(®) , Ronas Tajhiz Teb, Tehran, Iran) in increasing penile size. METHODS This prospective study was performed on subject...

The circumference c(G) of a graph G is the length of a longest cycle. By exploiting our recent results on resistance of snarks, we construct infinite classes of cyclically 4-, 5and 6-edge-connected cubic graphs with circumference ratio c(G)/|V (G)| bounded from above by 0.876, 0.960 and 0.990, respectively. In contrast, the dominating cycle conjecture implies that the circumference ratio of a c...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to distinguish the sexual dimorphism horses Campolina breed, by morphometric measurements, and classify them according sex, using discriminating functions. Two-hundred fifteen were measured, 39 measurements evaluated. analysis covariance discriminant performed. Males taller showed a wider chest, greater scapular-humeral angle, larger neck, both in length...

Abstract The expansion of the vascular cambium cylinder in stem woody plants has been modeled many times, using different approaches and focusing on contributions cell events (cell divisions, intrusive growth symplastic growth). Although there are case studies literature, a universal model is still lacking. Therefore, aim this study to estimate quantitative changes contribution single cambial (...

Independent of whether natural mating or artificial insemination is used for breeding, libido (sex drive) is evidently crucial to reproductive competence in all male meat animal species. Breeding goat bucks vary in their levels of libido; therefore, there is a need for the development of a predictive standardized test for estimating sex drive. The objective of this study was to evaluate libido ...

determination of birth indices is essential for primary supportive care, evaluation of perinatal anomalies, determination amount of difference from standard values and for further follow up. in this study using a multicentre sampling, a number of 2832 healthy neonates selected. mean and percentile values of four main birth indices; weight, height, head and chest circumference are presented. in ...

The body measurements of 433 young Dorper rams participating in the Free State and Northern Cape veld-ram projects were correlated with their production performance. These measurements included a selection index, body weight (kg), average daily gain (g/day) and scrotal circumference (cm). The performance of the animals in the two projects compared well, although the means in the Free State proj...
