forty-nine preserved specimens (31 male and 18 female) of trachylepis aurata transcaucsasica were examined with respect to metric and meristic features and dry skull anatomy to assess sexual dimorphism. thirty-one morphological characters and 36 anatomical characters in dry skulls were examined. subdigital lamellae under the forth toe, neck length, neck length/snout vent length, and six skull c...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

For an intermediate mass Higgs boson with SM-like couplings the LHC allows observation of a variety of decay channels in production by gluon fusion and weak boson fusion. Cross section ratios provide measurements of various ratios of Higgs couplings, with accuracies of order 15% for 100 fb−1 of data in each of the two LHC experiments. For Higgs masses above 120 GeV, minimal assumptions on the H...

Whilst laboratory-on-chip cell separation systems using dielectrophoresis are increasingly reported in the literature, most systems are afflicted by factors which impede “real world” performance, chief among these being cell loss (in dead spaces, attached to glass and tubing surfaces, or sedimentation from flow), and designs with large channel height-to-width ratios (large channel widths, small...

METHODS: Preand post-operative anthropometric measurements and standardized medical photographs were collected of patients with bilateral cleft lip during medical missions conducted by Operation Smile in Bolivia, Madagascar, Morocco and Vietnam. Ratios of nostril width, cleft width and lip transverse length, as well as measurements of philtral height and the columellar-philtral angle, were calc...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dimensions of teeth have been available for a century. Some significant and clinically relevant aspects of dental esthetics, however, such as the crown width/length ratios, have not been presented in tooth morphology sources until recently. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the anatomic crowns of 4 tooth groups (central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, ...

We investigated the folding of rectangular stimuli-responsive hydrogel-based polymer bilayers with different aspect ratios and relative thicknesses placed on a substrate. It was found that long-side rolling dominates at high aspect ratios (ratio of length to width) when the width is comparable to the circumference of the formed tubes, which corresponds to a small actuation strain. Rolling from ...

The central value and theoretical uncertainties on the cross section ratio σW /σZ at the Tevatron are evaluated using the NNLO calculations and the latest MSTW PDFs. The partial width, total width and branching ratios of the W boson in the Standard Model, in the light of the latest electroweak calculations, are also updated.
