Height (to the nearest millimeter) was recorded in all subjects without shoes, and weight (in kilograms) was measured, with subjects in light clothing, using electronic weighing scales (SECA model 220).
If the head movement during the recording was greater than 5 millimeters (mm), the epoch was recorded again.
Based on the tissue area density measured for the fragments collected in the field, grasses with a similar area density were offered to workers from the laboratory colony, and the time needed to cut one millimeter of tissue was recorded.
The maximum dimension of stone reported was recorded in millimeters.
The degree of overjet was recorded in millimeters.
The transverse diameter of induration was recorded in millimeters 48 72 hours after administration.
Thickness of bone (original bone plus overlay of hydroxyapatite), thickness of the overlying soft tissue, and the overall projection (bone plus soft tissue) was recorded in millimeters.
Between 48 and 72 hours, the diameter of palpable skin induration was recorded (in millimeters) independently by two home visitors using digital calipers.
Then, with a metric ruler, the distance between the two dots, in the index card (which represents the difference in the position of the navicular tubercle with respect to the floor between the subtalar neutral and relaxed standing positions) was recorded in millimeters.
Fork length (distance from the tip of the snout to the fork of the caudal fin in millimeters) and body weight (in grams) was recorded for all fish in June 2005 (Length605 and Weight605), September 2005 (Length905 and Weight905), and June 2006 (Length606 and Weight606).
