Body measurement

A 2 X 2 contingency table was used to evaluate the frequency of anomalies and resorptions within the fetal population and between litters. Body weight and body measurements were statistically analyzed by an Analysis of Variance and Tukey s test (13). In all cases, the level of significance was P < 0.05. 

Teratogenicity. The effects of chlorodibenzodioxins on maternal and fetal body measurements, incidence of fetal resorptions, and anomalies are given in Tables III and IV. 

OCDD. Signs of maternal toxicity were not observed in rats given 100 or 500 mg/kg/day OCDD. Examination of the fetuses did not reveal changes in fetal body measurements, incidence of fetal resorptions, or incidence of any fetal anomaly among litters or the fetal population. At 500 mg/kg/day, the incidence of subcutaneous edema was significantly increased among the fetal population (23/100 compared with 8/156 in controls) but not among litters (9/18 compared with 6/28 in controls). 

Epidemiological and Human Dosimetry Studies. Epidemiological studies of radiation dose typically involve estimates of exposure that are based on whole-body measurements of internally-deposited americium. A need remains for epidemiological data that can provide quantitative human dose-response information while supplying additional information on the health effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and americium in particular, for cases of known internal exposure. 

In the report of the Royal College of Physicians on studies in healthy volunteers, a healthy volunteer is described as an individual who is not known to suffer any significant illness relevant to the proposed study, who should be within the ordinary range of body measurements such as weight, and whose mental state is such that he is able to understand and... 

Mortar (Vol 1, p XIX) [Barnett (1919), 181-82] Note Accdg to L.V.Clark, IEC 25, 1388 (1933), the relative propulsive strength can be determined either by Ballistic Pendulum Test or Trauzl Test, usual trsts for power determination. The Pb block compression value is regarded as a measure of relative brisance while Fragmentation tests in hand-grenade bodies measure relative shattering power... 

Dose In the context of chemicals, the temi dose means the amount, quantity, or portion of the chemical exposed to or applied to the target (e.g., a human being). It may also refer to a consistent measure used in toxicological testing to determine acute and chronic toxicities. An alternate definition is die amount of ionizing radiation energy absorbed per unit mass of irradiated material at a specific location, such as a part of die human body, measured in REMS, or an inanimate body, measured in rads. 

Obesity refers to presence of excess body fat. The amount of body fat is difficult to measure directly, and is usually determined from body measures that have been shown to correlate with body fat in most people. The body mass index (BMI) is a useful clinical calculation for diagnosing obesity because it correlates with total body fat, and is relatively unaffected by height. It can be calculated... 

Historically NMR spectroscopy has been utilized primarily for in vitro bioanalyses, but NMR can also be applied to the study of chemical reactions in living organisms ranging from cells to whole body measures. NMR is especially useful for in vivo applications such as measurement of energy metabolism in heart muscle, benefiting from the fact that resonance is relatively easy to observe and generates spectra within seconds. However, while H, and P NMR have...

North Carolina, doesn t even have to be overt it can exert its influence just by being perceived. Doctors there measured twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure, with monitors attached to subjects bodies measuring blood pressure on a continuous basis throughout the day. Participants also filled out a report detailing episodes of racism and the resultant anger, but in order to live in a racist environment, those blacks had to repress their anger. 

Jensen I don t know the answer to that. I know that there have been factor analyses of up to 50 different body measurements, but I can t recall the hierarchical analysis. There is a general factor in body measurements. These measurements still exist the British garment industry has collected about 50 body measurements on 10 000 women, and the correlation matrix exists. When I took a course on factor analysis, our final exam project was to factor analyse this huge correlation matrix which in those days took a 40 hour week to do on a desk calculator There was a big general factor and about four or five other factors that were large enough to be significant. 

Jensen There is another Flynn effect, in the physical realm, and that s for height. There have been comparable increases in height over the same period. For example, J. M. Tanner (University of London) mentions that 10-year-old children today in London schools are four inches taller than they were 100 years ago. Since World War I there have been the same kinds of increases to about the same extent in standard deviation units. There are other parallels as well. For example, the correlations between different body measurements have remained the same over this time, despite the increase in height. And the differences between various national and ethnic groups that differ in height has continued to exist. 

Stresses are the forces tending to produce deformation in a body, measured as a force per unit area.

On land, the Mo content of a soil will reflect the amount in its parent rock. That and the effect of mobility are clearly seen near ore bodies, where the influence of mineralization can be detected some distance away from the ore body. Measurements of the Mo contents of soils have been used to locate deposits of Mo and associated metals such as Cu (Manheim and Landergren, 1978). Thornton and Webb (1973) used the Mo contents of stream sediments to map likely patterns of high-Mo soils in England and Wales. The soils of highest content are underlain by marine black shales. In general, soils that overlie sediments will vary more widely in Mo content than will those that overlie igneous rocks, because the latter are more uniform.
