The 3D parametric body model was shaped into the most common body shape of the young Hong Kong female and be able to automatically change its critical body shape according to the user＇s critical body dimension inputs. The control algorithm controls the profile of the parametric model is retrieved from an anthropometric survey using 3D scanner to study the profile change of body and the relation between some critical body dimensions. Compared to the traditional anthropometric surveys, the 3D body scanner provides more accurate body dimension and information as well as new body shape measurements.展开更多

We measured these two parameters ofRana amurensis, at a 900 m and a 500 m altitude site in northeastern China. At the two sites, age at first reproduction was 2 years for males and 3 years for females. The maximum age of males and females at the high-altitude site was 6 and 7 years, and 5 and 7 years at the low-altitude population, respectively. Females were significantly larger than males in both populations, due to greater age in both the high- and low-altitude sites, Body size of either males or fe- males did not differ significantly between populations; only males showed increased body size at the high-altitude site when age effect was statistically controlled for. The increased cline of male body size may be attributable to delayed maturation of the sex due to a shorter growing season at high altitudes展开更多
