Repeatability of Body Measurements in the Turkey

Poultry Science, 1966
Abstract Several methods have been used to measure various aspects of body conformation of the turkey. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the repeatability of measurements of shank length, keel length, breast width, and body depth. Shank length, keel length, and body depth were determined to the nearest one-eighth of an inch by a ...

On a Measure of Asymmetry of Convex Bodies

Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1962
In the present note we discuss some properties of a ‘measure of asymmetry’ of convex bodies in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Various measures of asymmetry have been treated in the literature (see, for example, (1), (6); references to most of the relevant results may be found in (4)).
