As such, designation of stream order is the first step in morphometric characterization of watersheds and, in the present study, the stream ordering was done based on hierarchical ranking method proposed by Strahler (1964).
On the other hand, GIS provides a powerful tool and a flexible environment and as such the information extraction techniques are less time-consuming than ground surveys for morphometric characterization through manipulation and analysis of spatial data.
Hydrologic and geomorphic processes occur within the watershed and morphometric characterization at the watershed scale reveals information regarding formation and development of land surface processes (Singh 1992, 1995; Dar et al. 2013).
Data of this study provide the first morphological and morphometric characterization of the LSCC implant on CAM model and, therefore, allow better understanding of cancer cell biology.
This study clarifies that chick embryo CAM is a relevant assay for implanting LSCC tissue and provides the first morphological and morphometric characterization of the LSCC CAM model that opens new perspectives to study this disease.
Undisturbed soil samples were collected in 2010 2012 in order to determine the water retention parameters and morphometric characterization of soil pores.
2) Morphometric characterization of the body shape and size.
Here, we used a digital tool for the quantitative morphometric characterization of fine cortical microglial structures in mice, and the changes they undergo with aging and in Alzheimer's-like disease.
Since then, several methods of watershed morphometry were further developed (e.g., Miller 1953; Strahler 1954, 1957, 1964; Schumm 1956; Melton 1957; Faniran 1968) that enabled morphometric characterization at watershed scale to extract pertinent information on the formation and development of land surface processes.
According to Esper (2008), morphometric characterization of a watershed is important to evaluate hydrological setup coupled with geomorphology and geology.
