Maximal expiratory volume-time and flow-volume (MEVT and MEFV) curves were constructed from the measurements of young male nonsmoking, mild and moderate asthmatic patients (mean age, 29.7 yrs.). Eleven parameters of the pulmonary function tests, two MEVT, six MEFV, and three mean time constant (MTC) parameters, were calculated from the curves. Thes...

We looked for possible differences in craniofacial morphology between parents of children with cleft lip (CL) and/or cleft palate (CP) and normal controls. Fifty measurements were obtained from lateral and frontal roentgenographic cephalograms of these subjects. The means of all measurements were tested for significant statistical differences, and ...
Volume-time (V-T) and flow-volume (F-V) curves were measured in all the subjects of nonsmoking young males (mean value 26.3 yrs. of age), healthy and asthmatics. Eleven parameters of pulmonary function tests composed of two V-T, six F-V, and three mean time constant (MTC) parameters, were calculated from the curves. These parameters were used in th...

With the parameters of a flow-volume and a volume-time curve, the discriminant analysis of bronchial asthma is described. The subjects were classified into three groups (healthy adults, mild asthmatic patients and moderates ones). The difference of the mean vectors of the parameters of the three groups was made clear by the selection methods of the...

Seven different types of nematocyst are detailed and illustrated from the Zoanthidea. We studied the size population structure of nematocyst capsules: how they are affected by preservation, and how and what should be measured. Populations of two types, large holotrichs and p-mastigophores, from the mesenterial filaments of Protopalythoa heliodiscus...

A mummy of an Egyptian priestess dating from the 22nd dynasty (c. 770 BC), completely enclosed in an anthropoid (human shaped) coffin, was scanned on a CT scanner. An accurate reconstruction of the cranium was generated from 115 × 2 mm CT images using AVS/Express on a SGI computer. Linear measurements were obtained from six orthogonal cranial views...
