Fourteen different morphological traits in 169 and 131 cattle of Oulmes-Zaer and Tidili, respectively were recorded and analyzed using a multivariate approach. The characters measured included heart girth, wither height, rump height, rump length, rump width, chest depth, body length, neck length, cannon circumference, ear length, ear width, head length, horn length and tail length. Breed signif...

allometric growth pattern and body shape changes of the green terror (andinoacara rivulatus)(cichlidae) were studied using landmark-based geometric morphometric (gm) and traditional methods, from hatching up to 1266 hours post hatching (hph) under culture conditions. the left side of specimens were photographed using digital camera and morphometric characters, including total length, head lengt...

introduction: correct interpretation of kidney images requires the knowledge of its normal size. this study aimed to establish normal values for kidney length and parenchymal thickness and identify the potential related factors in a group of iranian adults. methods: renal dimensions, including length and parenchymal thickness were measured by sonography in 103 individuals with no renal disease....

the relationship between live body weight, body length, girth circumference, animal hight, upper, middle as well as lower width of fat-tail, fat-tail length, fat-tail gap length, fat-tail depth and fat-tail circumference along with fat-tail weight were determined using records of 731 loribakhtiari sheep. principal component and least square analyses were applied to solve the collinearity instab...

This study investigated the effect of the installation of flood dams on the morphological variation of Alburnoides samiii Mousavi-Sabet, Vatandoust & Doadrio, 2015, in Toolkhone River, origin from Somam Mountain, the South Caspian Sea basin, north of Iran. Multivariate analysis (MANOVA) was employed for morphometric characteristics of the fish inhabit upstream and downstream of the dams. Signif...

background: exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. however, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (qol) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea ex...

the objective followed in the present study was to survey the relationship between 18 body trait measurements (live weight, height at wither, paunch girth, neck diameter, body length, girth around the body, width of fat tail at above, below and midpoint of fat tail, fat tail length lowers right and left sides, fat tail gap length, fat tail depth at the above, below, and midpoint, and girth arou...

Exploration of the relationship between tooth dimensions, body size, and age is important in paleontology, forensic odontology and aesthetic dentistry. It is reasonable to speculate that tooth length is associated with stature since teeth contribute to facial height. This study aimed to determine whether there was an association between tooth length and stature and age in a sample of Sri Lankan...
