biometrical

The relief tubes went on all right, but the biometrical monitors wouldn't stay put on my sweat-drenched skin.

More direct efforts to measure the effects of selection upon a population were undertaken by the biometrical school of Darwinism.

These methods of study later improved due to the development of more advanced clinical, epidemiological, and biometrical research tools.

He significantly contributed to progress in the biometrical, population genetic, and quantitative genetic foundations of modern plant breeding.

Biometrical Genetics.

The authentication method used such as knowledge of a password, possession of an object (key, token) or a biometrical characteristic.

Misconceptions of biometrical IQists.

His untimely death at 57 cut short a distinguished career with many contributions in the fields of microbial genetics, cytoplasmic inheritance, and biometrical genetics.

(R.A. Fisher would later show how the biometrical approach could be reconciled with the Mendelian approach.)

Gosset acquired that knowledge by study, trial and error and by spending two terms in 1906 - 07 in the biometrical laboratory of Karl Pearson.

The biometrical defence of Darwinism was paralleled by the work of the German biologist August Weismann (1834-1914) on the cellular basis of heredity.

Biometrical genetic modeling of twin or other family data can be used to decompose the variance of an observed response or phenotype into genetic and environmental components.

I agree with the rapporteur's proposal to introduce the principle of 'one person - one passport', so that every person has a passport with his or her biometrical data.

Bateson wrote: "Misconception of the nature and significance of intermediates has deprived the work of the biometrical school of scientific value as a contribution to the study of heredity.

This paper laid foundation for what came to be known as biometrical genetics, and it introduced the methodology of the analysis of variance, which was a considerable advance over the correlation methods used earlier.

A more mathematical version of pangenesis, one which dropped much of Darwin's Lamarckian holdovers, was developed as the "biometrical" school of heredity by Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton.

Beyond traditional identification functions the new ID card will facilitate identification of the owner via internet by utilising a microchip containing holder's data in electronic format including biometrical data (digital facial image/fingerprints).

GREAT STRIDES - The average colt has a stride of 24.6 feet, according to Equix, a company in Lexington, Ky., that conducts biometrical analyses of thoroughbreds.

Galton and his statistical heir Karl Pearson developed what was called the biometrical approach to eugenics, which developed new and complex statistical models (later exported to wholly different fields) to describe the heredity of traits.

Under Galton and his successor Karl Pearson, the biometrical school attempted to build statistical models for heredity and evolution, with some limited but real success, though the exact methods of heredity were unknown and largely unquestioned.

The situation in which a single passport can be issued to a holder and his or her children, by including their names and surnames, or containing only the biometrical data of the passport-holding parent, may be conducive to child trafficking.

Techniques created by Torrey Pines Institute include individual compounds arrays, mixture-based synthetic combinatorial libraries, positional scanning deconvolution, biometrical analysis, libraries from libraries, small molecule and heterocyclic compounds, and direct in-vivo testing of mixtures.

He was educated at Birmingham University and remained there for the majority of his career, contributing to the development of biometrical genetics, human behavioural genetics, and supervising a number of students who went on to make their own contributions, among them David Fulker.

For this reason, it is vitally important either to develop a second generation SIS - Schengen Information System II or SIS II - or to create a visa information system, not forgetting the issue of introducing biometrical data.

The proliferation of digitally-mediated (and often password-protected) personal data and online identities, as well as biometrical practices, "routinely assume a living body for access", which makes access to data following death increasingly problematic for individuals and relatives, as well as institutions and corporations, that may have claims to or stakes in such materials.
