Allometric scaling in the coronary arterial system
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2008Biological variables such as basal metabolic rate scale with body mass through a power law relationship. The coronary arterial system also exhibits power law relations between morphological parameters such as total distal arterial length and lumen volume.

Pharmacokinetic Allometric Scaling of Oligonucleotides
Nucleic Acid Therapeutics, 2011The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of interspecies scaling of oligonucleotides to predict clearance and volume of distribution at steady state in humans from animal data. The human pharmacokinetic parameters were predicted using 1, 2, or at least 3 animal species.

Allometric Scaling of the Tectofugal Pathway in Birds
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2010Recent studies have shown that the relative sizes of visual regions in the avian brain are correlated with behavioral differences among species. Despite the fact that the tectofugal pathway is the primary source of visual input to the avian brain, detailed interspecific comparisons of the relative size of nuclei within the pathway, the optic tectum ...

Allometric Scaling and Seasonality in the Epidemics of Wildlife Diseases
The American Naturalist, 2008We present a susceptibles-exposed-infectives (SEI) model to analyze the effects of seasonality on epidemics, mainly of rabies, in a wide range of wildlife species. Model parameters are cast as simple allometric functions of host body size. Via nonlinear analysis, we investigate the dynamical behavior of the disease for different levels of seasonality ...

Allometric scaling in temporal integration
2021A relatively well-defined upper limit of 2±1 seconds appears in human cognition as a proximity constraint for temporal integration. This interval functions as a timescale and is an important determinant of grouping in the temporal domain that allows for emergent relationships between otherwise discrete stimuli.

The origin of allometric scaling laws in biology
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2006The empirical rules relating metabolic rate and body size are described in terms of (i) a scaling exponent, which refers to the ratio of the fractional change in metabolic rate to a change in body size, (ii) a proportionality constant, which describes the rate of energy expenditure in an organism of unit mass.

Allometric Scaling of Weighted Food Webs
2009Allometric scaling is an important universal property of metabolic living systems. It also describes the self-similar branching tree-liked structures in transportation networks. This paper presented a new approach to calculate the allometric scaling power law relations for arbitrary flow networks.

A Brief Review on Allometric Scaling in Biology
2004A brief review on allometric scaling in biology is given. Dueling theories aim at explaining the mystery of how an animal's metabolic rate is related to its size, but no convincing result is so far obtained, so the allometric scaling in biology still keeps an intriguing and enduring problem.
