A Hierarchical Allometric Scaling Analysis of Chinese Cities: 1991–2014

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.

Ecological and evolutionary implications of allometric growth in stomach size of brachyuran crabs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Individual characteristics often scale allometrically with organismal body size and the form of this scaling can be influenced by ecological and evolutionary factors. Examining the specific form of this scaling can therefore yield important insights into

Prediction of Human Pharmacokinetics of Antibody–Drug Conjugates From Nonclinical Data

Clinical and Translational Science, 2019
Prediction of human pharmacokinetics (PK) based on preclinical information for antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) provide important insight into first‐in‐human (FIH) study design.

Allometric scaling of plant life history [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Plant mortality and birth rates are critical components of plant life history affecting the stability of plant populations and the ecosystems they form. Although allometric theory predicts that both plant birth and mortality rates should be size-dependent, this prediction has not yet been tested across plants ranging the full size spectrum.

High-Throughput Tissue Bioenergetics Analysis Reveals Identical Metabolic Allometric Scaling for Teleost Hearts and Whole Organisms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Organismal metabolic rate, a fundamental metric in biology, demonstrates an allometric scaling relationship with body size. Fractal-like vascular distribution networks of biological systems are proposed to underlie metabolic rate allometric scaling laws ...

Testing allometric scaling relationships in plant roots

Forest Ecosystems, 2020
Background Metabolic scaling theory predicts that plant productivity and biomass are both size-dependent. However, this theory has not yet been tested in plant roots.

Joint multiple quantitative trait loci mapping for allometries of body compositions and metabolic traits to body weights in broiler

Animal, 2020
In order to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for allometries of body compositions and metabolic traits in chicken, we phenotypically characterize the allometric growths of multiple body components and metabolic traits relative to BWs using joint ...

Allometric Scaling of Uphill Cycling Performance

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2008
Previous laboratory-based investigations have identified optimal body mass scaling exponents in the range 0.79-0.91 for uphill cycling. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate whether or not these exponents are also valid in a field setting. A proportional allometric model was used to predict the optimal power-to-mass ratios associated with ...

Deep Learning Methods for Assessing Time‐Variant Nonlinear Signatures in Clutter Echoes

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion classification from biosonar echoes in clutter presents a fundamental challenge: extracting structured information from stochastic interference. Deep learning successfully discriminates object speed and direction from bat‐inspired signals, achieving 97% accuracy with frequency‐modulated calls but only 48% with constant‐frequency tones. This work

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...
