Impact of simulated acid rain on soil microbial community function in Masson pine seedlings

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (5), 2014
Background Accompanying its rapid economic development and population growth, China is the world's third largest acid rain region, following Europe and North America. The effects of acid rain on forest ecosystem were widely researched, including the growth, the nutrient of the leaf and soil, and so on. H...

Quantitative evaluation of the facial morphology of a Tolteca figurine from Mexico using geometric morphometric approaches

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
Morphometric approaches can be combined with 2D or 3D imaging to quantitatively evaluate craniofacial medical conditions depicted in material culture and to learn more about the culture being studied. A terra-cotta figurine (circa 500 A.D.) from the Tolteca culture of Mexico has previously been qualitati...

Femoral functional adaptation: a comparison between hunter gatherers and farmers using geometric morphometrics

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture has been associated with a gracilization in human form, especially in long bones. This has been interpreted as result of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and reduced workload in the farming populations. However the majority of these evidences ha...

Relationship between zoometric measurements in Holstein-Friesian cow and cubicle size in dairy farms

Int. j. morphol; 31 (1), 2013
Body measurements in Portuguese Holstein-Friesian breed and its association with the dimensions of the cubicles were investigated. During a period of 5 months, body measurements and cubicles size data from 55 commercial Portuguese dairy herds were collected including in total 1054 individual cows. Data w...

Principal Component Factor Analysis of the Morphostructure of Immature Uda Sheep

Int. j. morphol; 24 (4), 2006
Ten body measurements were taken on 30 Uda sheep aged 0-14 months within the humid southwest Nigeria. The body measurements were wither height (WH), body length (BL), rump length (RL), rump height (RH), rump width (RW), foreleg length (FL), shoulder width (SW), face length (FaL), tail length (TL) and hea...
