The aim of the present study was to analyze the live weight, body length, and chest perimeter in Blackhead Pleven lambs at an early age with a view to their future use as prognostic indicators of growth performance. The study was conducted with 46 lambs. It found out that at birth and weaning the singletons had higher live weight and higher average daily weight gain in comparison with the twins (P

AIMS To assess whether individual parameters or combinations of voice range profile parameters (also called 'features') are able to yield a clear cluster separation with which three basic female voice categories can be discriminated and can provide a basis for settling the issue of voice classification. METHODS The voice range profiles of 206 female conservatory singing students were recorded...

Discrepancies in the assessment of thoracoabdominal asynchrony are observed depending on the choice of respiratory movement sensors. We test the hypothesis that these discrepancies are due to a different dependence of the sensors on cross-sectional perimeter and area variations of the chest wall. First, we study the phase shift between perimeter and area (Phi(PA)) for an elliptical model, which...

Given k ∈ N, the k’th discrete Heisenberg group, denoted H Z , is the group generated by the elements a1, b1, . . . , ak, bk, c, subject to the commutator relations [a1, b1] = . . . = [ak, bk] = c, while all the other pairs of elements from this generating set are required to commute, i.e., for every distinct i, j ∈ {1, . . . , k} we have [ai, aj ] = [bi, bj ] = [ai, bj ] = [ai, c] = [bi, c] = ...

The present article refers to the development characteristics in small aged children, especially those related to their locomotive apparatus. The purpose of this article is knowing the somatic variability limits in the case of certain subjects with physical deficiency, II degree scoliosis, through the agency of evaluation tools, somatoscopy and anthropometry on a sample of 30 girls with ages of...

Environmental Flow Requirement (EFR) is defined as the flow that is necessary to ensure the existence of habitats in water resources systems. EFR is defined in rivers as flow index commonly. Tennant method is the most popular hydrological method in rivers and based on the historic flow data. The most common method of hydraulic rating method is the wetted perimeter method. Habitat simulation tec...
