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...

A cross-sectional study of adolescent growth was undertaken among the Brahmin girls residing in rural and urban areas of Sagar districts, Madhya Pradesh to evaluate the urban-rural differences. Six anthropometric measurements, such as weight, stature, sitting height, head circumference, upper arm circumference and chest girth are taken into consideration. Though the urban girls show consistentl...

Nilpotent and idempotent adjacency operator methods are applied to the study of random geometric graphs in a discretized, d-dimensional unit cube [0, 1]. Cycles are enumerated, sizes of maximal connected components are computed, and closed formulas are obtained for graph circumference and girth. Expected numbers of k-cycles, expected sizes of maximal components, and expected circumference and g...

BACKGROUND A high waist-to-hip ratio is associated with unfavorable cardiovascular disease risk factors. This could be due to either a relatively large waist or a small hip girth. OBJECTIVE We sought to define the separate contributions of waist girth, hip girth, and body mass index (BMI) to measures of body composition, fat distribution, and cardiovascular disease risk factors. DESIGN Thre...

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...

BACKGROUND: Animal breeds are often recognized through their specific characteristics, nevertheless, the breeds' anatomical and biochemical characteristics have not considered yet in many of the researches done on one-humped camels. There are some particular differences in camel breeds due to different climate conditions and rearing necessity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current study was to com...

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...

Aseel and Kadaknath chickens are recognized for their hardiness adaptability to warm humid climates being used genetic improvement of different breeds which appropriate backyard poultry farming in India. In the present study, an attempt was made first time India assess relationship among morphological traits explain body conformation under using principal component analysis (PCA). Eleven viz., ...

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...

Information on an organism's body size is pivotal in understanding its life history and fitness, as well as helping inform conservation measures. However, for many species, particularly large-bodied wild animals, taking accurate body size measurements can be a challenge. Various means to estimate body size have been employed, from more direct methods such as using photogrammetry to obtain heigh...
