Interspecies Allometric Scaling of Antimalarial Drugs and Potential Application to Pediatric Dosing [PDF]

, 2014
Pharmacopeial recommendations for administration of antimalarial drugs are the same weight-based (mg/kg of body weight) doses for children and adults.

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Integrating whole‐bone and regional analyses to understand human scapular growth

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates ontogenetic changes in human scapular morphology using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics with whole‐bone and region‐specific analyses. The aim is to evaluate whether the scapula follows a regular developmental pattern and whether its functionally distinct components, the scapular spine (SS) and glenoid fossa ...

An allometric scaling law in plants

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2008
An allometric scaling law between the metabolic rate of the total barks of a plant and its total bark mass is proposed, the scaling exponent is proved to be 2/3 for mature plants.

Length-dependent anisotropic scaling of spindle shape [PDF]

, 2014
Spindle length varies dramatically across species and during early development to segregate chromosomes optimally. Both intrinsic factors, such as regulatory molecules, and extrinsic factors, such as cytoplasmic volume, determine spindle length scaling ...

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Butorphanol Pharmacokinetics Across Species: Meta‐Analysis Integrating Allometric Scaling and Minimal Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling

CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology
Butorphanol, an opioid agonist–antagonist used in human and veterinary medicine, lacks systematic interspecies comparisons. Butorphanol pharmacokinetics (PK) was assessed across species using a minimal physiologically based PK (mPBPK) model and ...

Life-history implications of the allometric scaling of growth [PDF]

, 2013
Several phenomenological descriptions, such as the von Bertalanffy growth model, have been widely used to describe size-at-age and individual growth across a diverse range of organisms.

Much more than their fangs: Macroscopic anatomy of the brain of Bothrops moojeni Hoge 1966 (Squamata, Serpentes, Viperidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

An Allometric Algorithm for Fractal-Based Cobb-Douglas Function of Geographical Systems

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2014
The generalized Cobb-Douglas production function has been derived from a general input-output relation based on fractality assumptions. It was proved to be a useful self-affine model for geographical analysis.
