Allometric scaling of intraspecific space use. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2016 Allometric scaling relationships enable exploration of animal space-use patterns, yet interspecific studies cannot address many of the underlying mechanisms. We present the first intraspecific study of home range (HR) allometry relative to energetic requirements over several orders of magnitude of body mass, using as a model the predatory ...

Allometric Scaling of physiologically-relevant organoids. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractThe functional and structural resemblance of organoids to mammalian organs suggests that they might follow the same allometric scaling rules. However, despite their remarkable likeness to downscaled organs, non-luminal organoids are often reported to possess necrotic cores due to oxygen diffusion limits.

A Hierarchical Allometric Scaling Analysis of Chinese Cities: 1991–2014 [PDF]
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2017 The law of allometric scaling based on Zipf distributions can be employed to research hierarchies of cities in a geographical region. However, the allometric patterns are easily influenced by random disturbance from the noises in observational data.

Allometric Scaling of Countries [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2010 As huge complex systems consisting of geographic regions, natural resources, people and economic entities, countries follow the allometric scaling law which is ubiquitous in ecological, urban systems. We systematically investigated the allometric scaling

Sizing up allometric scaling theory. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2008 Metabolic rate, heart rate, lifespan, and many other physiological properties vary with body mass in systematic and interrelated ways. Present empirical data suggest that these scaling relationships take the form of power laws with exponents that are ...

Allometric scaling relationships in mouse placenta. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2022 Fetal growth and maturation are highly intertwined with placental development during pregnancy. Here we used placental vascular morphology measurements (depth and span) as well as the umbilical artery (UA) diameter of previously published studies on three different mouse strains (C57BL6/J, CD-1 and BALB/c), which were exposed to different conditions ...

Allometric scaling in-vitro. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractAbout two decades ago, West and coworkers established a model which predicts that metabolic rate follows a three quarter power relationship with the mass of an organism, based on the premise that tissues are supplied nutrients through a fractal distribution network. Quarter power scaling is widely considered a universal law of biology and it is

Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2019 In population dynamics, mathematical models often contain too many parameters to be easily testable. A way to reliably estimate parameters for a broad range of systems would help us obtain clearer predictions from theory.

Allometric scaling of estuarine ecosystem metabolism. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 SignificanceCoastal margins host some of the most productive habitats on the planet, yet there is still significant uncertainty about the magnitude of carbon fluxes across the land/ocean interface. Scaling up in situ measurements into whole-ecosystem estimates of how these habitats contribute to global biogeochemical cycling has been hindered by their ...

Allometric scaling and accidents at work. [PDF]
Int J Occup Saf Ergon, 2016 Allometry is the knowledge concerning relations between the features of some beings, like animals, or cities. For example, the daily energy rate is proportional to a mass of mammals rise of 3/4. This way of thinking has spread quickly from biology to many areas of research concerned with sociotechnical systems.
