Foot size proportionate to stature is smaller in women than in men, and small feet apparently contribute to perceived physical attractiveness of females. This exploratory study investigated the sex difference in relative foot length and interrelations among foot length, physique, and foot preference rati...
A modernizing nation began to produce scholarship, increasingly informed by scientific analysis, in a quantity and quality commensurate with its size and its traditions of learning.Early humans ZhoukoudianThe Zhoukoudian archaeological site, near Beijing.(more) The fossil record in China promises ...
Three-dimensional ecological footprint is a physical quantity representing volume, which was calculated by multiplying footprint size (bottom area) and footprint depth (column height). Fig. 5 shows the columns representing the three-dimensional ecological footprint. The size and depth of ecological ...
In addition to strength and muscle size, minimal footwear may also influence foot morphology because they tend to have a wider toe box than conventional shoes. Habitually minimally shod participants have been found to have significantly higher longitudinal arches than conventionally western shod participan...
both size- and speed-associated increases in musculoskeletal force and foot pressures. The presence of fat pads may also be related to differences in the type of substrate on which a species typically moves. For example, the broad leathery fat pads in camels have been suggested to function to...

The chair (1) has a seat cushion (3), a chest support (4) and a plate (5) which acts as a footrest and supports the seat cushion via a gas cylinder (6) or similar device, enabling the surgeon to alter the height of the seat cushion relative to the plate. A height adjustment ...
