An individual’s hand or foot, when recovered and brought for forensic examination, can provide valuable information about a person’s identity. Stature provides insight into various features of a population, including nutrition, health and genetics...

AIMS To determine the most suitable anthropometric and impedance measures and current frequency for the application of bioelectrical impedance to neonates receiving intensive care; and to derive predictive models for the estimation of total body water. METHODS Twenty eight babies (median gestational age 30.5 weeks, range 24-38; median birthweight 1.388 kg, range 0.690-3.510) were each studied...

Nonvisual perceptions of a wielded object's spatial properties are based on the quantities expressing the object's mass distribution, quantities that are invariant during the wielding. The mechanoreceptors underlying the kind of haptic perception involved in wielding - referred to as effortful, kinesthetic, or dynamic touch - are those embedded in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The presen...
