The Measurement of Body Currents
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1941IN these days of supersensitive amplifiers and recording apparatus, it is very tempting to define life and death in terms of electrical activity. Whether or not this concept is accurate, we can, on present knowledge liken living tissue to a B-battery and dead tissue to a burned out generator. The function of living tissue, however, is so closely allied

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
In teaching the customary units of measure, the teacher risks offering two few activities that focus on measuring or on determining relationships among units. In the metric system, relationships among units are especially important and become clear to students when we offer them the opportunity to measure many familiar objects.

Body Fat and Skinfold Measurements
Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1971Height, weight, skeletal diameters, skinfolds and body volume (hydrostatic weighing) were measured on 19 male and 19 female students. The fat weight was calculated from body weight, volume and skeletal measurements. The covariation of fat weight with skinfold measurements was investigated by multiple regression analysis.

On Measures of Symmetry of Convex Bodies
Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 1965Let K be a convex body (compact, convex set with interior points) in n-dimensional Euclidean space En, and let V(K) denote the volume of K. Let K′ be a centrally symmetric body of maximum volume contained in K (in fact, K′ is unique; see 2 or 9), and definec(K) = V(K′)/V(K)Letc(n) = inf{c(K) : K ⊂ En}.

Body Height Measurements in Images
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2009Abstract: For any measurement of a person’s height in an image, a difference exists between the actual height of the person and the image measurement. In order to gain knowledge about statistical behavior of differences between actual and measured heights it is necessary to make reference recordings, e.g., of test persons under the same recording ...

Measurement of body venous tone
Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods, 2000The venous system contains about 70% of the blood volume, and approximately 75% of the venous volume is in the small veins and venules. Veins play an active role in the control of cardiac output (CO) and blood pressure. Drugs that interfere with venous tone have profound effects on CO and blood pressure due to the large venous capacity.

The pitfalls of body temperature measurements
Naturwissenschaften, 2012), of free-ranging animals, particularly becauseseveral studies have shown that these parameters can differsubstantially between captive animals and their wild con-specifics (Geiser et al. 2007; Warnecke et al. 2007). Theseefforts were met by remarkable advancements in the minia-turization of data loggers, accommodating studies on small-bodied species.
