The first component shows variation in the shell height, dorsal edge elevation and curve of ventral margin.
Densities of juvenile shore crabs Carcinus maenas and young periwinkles Littorina littorea (< 10 mm shell height) were higher on mussel rings; while abundance of L. littorea ≥ 10 mm shell height was higher on oyster rings.
Growth rate (k) of the snails increased in order of shell height (0.459), shell length (0.550), and shell weight (0.598).
For the polar regions, the varying shell height approach produced better results than the fixed shell height and compared to exponential function, Chapman function seems to be a better function to model the topside ionosphere.
In addition, the possibility to assess an ionospheric shell height able to minimize the mapping function errors has been verified.
Parametric analyses have been done with respect to various aspects like type of rubber, shell height, shell material, etc. in order to optimize the design.
The maximum shell length, shell height, and shell width of the snails calculated by the von Bertalanffy Model (L∞) were 2.76, 2.05, and 2.18 cm, respectively.
In this study, the genetic architecture of complex oyster growth traits (i.e. shell height, length, width and weight) is explored and putative QTL and marker associations are identified.
These GPS vTEC values were obtained from GPS slant TEC (sTEC) measurements using both fixed shell height and varying shell heights (from ionosonde measurements).
Such shells are very susceptible to buckling under external pressure when empty or partially filled, but the buckling mode may involve only part of the shell height due to the changes in shell thickness.
When data from an ionosonde situated in polar region was observed, the height of an approximated thin shell of electrons (shell height) used in GPS studies was seen not to be fixed but rather changing with time.
