Astronomers have, for the first time, pinned down both the mass and distance of a planet that drifts through the galaxy ...

Single-slice abdominal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed to measure visceral adipose tissue in individuals with obesity and diabetes mellitus can also image skeletal ...

Knowledge of canopy light interception and absorption is fundamental for understanding many aspects of crop growth and productivity, and for crop modelling. Light interception is commonly measured ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - An Ohio State University astronomer has developed a method for reliably estimating the mass of black holes in distant quasars. Based on this method, Marianne Vestergaard, a ...

Using artificial intelligence (AI), scientists from a number of institutions have made a crucial breakthrough in estimating the fundamental properties of the cosmos. ScienceDaily tells us that the ...

A team of Australian scientists led by UNSW Sydney paleontologist Lachlan Hart has calculated the body mass of two ancient amphibians. The last of the temnospondyls—amphibians that look more like ...

To assess regression models for lipid and lean body mass in small birds, we recorded live body mass ±0.1 g, total body electrical conductivity (TOBEC; from "third generation" TOBEC machine EM-SCAN® SA ...

A new relative fat mass (RFM) equation based on height-to-waist-circumference ratio better predicts the percentage of whole-body fat in men and women than body mass index (BMI), new research indicates ...

Studies show that hand-grip strength correlates strongly with DEXA in lean body mass measurements. Near infrared, skinfolds, and hand-grip strength are portable assessment techniques that can be done ...
