Allometric growth of copper, zinc, manganese and iron in slow- and fast-growing young chickens
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013 Allometric growth of body microminerals was examined in slow-growing laying-type cockerels (SG) and in fast-growing male broiler hybrids (FG) during the growing period from hatch to Day 22.

Relative growth of the semi-terrestrial crab Pachygrapsus marmoratus: an information-theory approach
Scientia Marina, 2007 The patterns of allometric growth of the grapsid crab Pachygrapsus marmoratus were investigated with an information-theoretic approach. This approach is beneficial, more robust, and may reveal more information than the classical approaches (e.g ...

Dynamic allometry in coastal overwash morphology [PDF]
, 2020 Allometry refers to a physical principle in which geometric (and/or metabolic) characteristics of an object or organism are correlated to its size. Allometric scaling relationships typically manifest as power laws.

Jellyfish body plans provide allometric advantages beyond low carbon content. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Jellyfish form spectacular blooms throughout the world's oceans. Jellyfish body plans are characterised by high water and low carbon contents which enables them to grow much larger than non-gelatinous animals of equivalent carbon content and to deviate ...

A Mixed Data-Based Deep Neural Network to Estimate Leaf Area Index in Wheat Breeding Trials [PDF]
, 2020 Remote and non-destructive estimation of leaf area index (LAI) has been a challenge in the last few decades as the direct and indirect methods available are laborious and time-consuming.

Allometric growth of Xanthium (Compositae) leaves
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 When Xanthium lamina width is plotted versus leaf length during the entire period of growth, a straight line is obtained representing an allometric relationship with a regression correlation coefficient of 0.9973 a lamina width to length ratio of 0.502 ±

Observation of Mammalian Similarity Through Allometric Scaling Laws [PDF]
, 2002 We discuss the problem of observation of natural similarity in skeletal evolution of terrestrial mammals. Analysis is given by means of testing of the power scaling laws established in long bone allometry, which describe development of bones (of length ...

Quantitative assessment of the effects of space allowance, group size and floor characteristics on the lying behaviour of growing-finishing pigs [PDF]
, 2010 To obtain quantitative information that can be later used in animal welfare modelling, the relationship between the lying behaviour of growing-finishing pigs (initial body weight (BW) between 19 and 87 kg) and different factors related to the housing ...
