Diachronic effects of bio-cultural factors on stature and body proportions in British archaeological populations. The impact of living conditions, socio-economic, nutritional and health status on growth, development, maximum attained stature and physical shape in archaeological skeletal population samples.
… have a noticeable influence on stature and body proportions. Importantly, socio-economic status has a powerful influence on stature, which has been used to elucidate status differences in past societies (Bogin and Loucky, 1997; Floud et al., 1990; Schutkowski, 2000a). Furthermore, …

Linear body measurements and other birth observations on beef calves as predictors of preweaning growth rate and weaning type score
… or not type at birth can be expressed by certain body proportions, which themselves are not high enough correlated with the two weaning traits to be of any predictive value. The high association between birth weight and the linear body measurements suggests that birth weight is as good a measure …

An Ecogeographic Study of Body Proportion Development in the Sadlermiut Inuit of Southampton Island, Nunavut
This thesis explores growth status and body proportion development in past North American Arctic populations. Living in one of the most extreme environments on the planet, Arctic foragers provide an opportunity to explore how human morphological variation is shaped by growth and climate. The study …

The growth pattern of various body and carcass parts and proportions of beef steers as influenced by different planes of nutrition
Ten attributes representing various body and. carcass measurements of beef steers were considered for statistical analysis. The slaughter data were obtained from an experiment conducted at Blacksburg, Virginia, by members of the Animal Science Department of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, …

Animal Reconstruction with 3D Morphable Models
… the 3D locations of the animal’s limbs, estimate body proportions and even the camera’s location and viewing direction. However, these remain challenging tasks for computers. For this reason, 3DMMs provide a useful intermediate representation for downstream tasks since they help to explain the …

Phylogeny and evolution of Lerista (Lygosominae, Scincidae, Squamata).
… species displaying prodigious variability of body form; several species possessing well-developed, pentadactyl limbs resemble typical non-fossorial scincids in body proportions, while many other species exhibit varying degrees of limb reduction and body elongation, including two that are …
