Ultrasound Examination of the Penile Urethra in Healthy Non‐Castrated Texel Lambs Confined for Fattening [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine, using ultrasonography, the width of the penile urethral lumen in Texel lambs and to compare two types of linear probes. Thirty healthy, uncastrated lambs kept in confinement for fattening were subjected to ultrasound examinations at 60, 120, and 150 days of age.

On Perimeters and Volumes of Fattened Sets [PDF]
In this paper we analyze the shape of fattened sets; given a compact set C⊂RN let Cr be its r-fattened set; we prove a general bound rP(Cr)≤NL({Cr∖C}) between the perimeter of Cr and the Lebesgue measure of Cr∖C. We provide two proofs: one elementary and one based on Geometric Measure Theory.
