While figures for humans are not available, allometric scaling, which takes into account body surface area, is often used to compare doses in different animals, with useful results.

If the expected slope were 3 and in reality in a certain organism mass scaled with 1 ( assuming this slope is statistically significant ), then it would be negatively allometric.

After Los Alamos, he became president of the Santa Fe Institute, where he worked and works on biological issues such as the allometric law and other power laws in biology.

Comparison of a particular animal's brain size with the expected brain size based on such allometric analysis provides an encephalization quotient that can be used as another indication of animal intelligence.

26.
In order to develop an allometric relationship there must be a strong relationship and an ability to quantify this relationship between the parts of the subject measured and the other quantities of interest.
27.
Selye's ideas were used by Gunther et al ., in which dimensionless numbers ( allometric invariance analysis ) were used to investigate the existence of heterostasis in canine cardiovascular systems.
28.
This is " not " true of most physical systems, as witness the difference in the shape of the legs of an elephant and a mouse ( so-called allometric scaling ).
29.
For inter-species allometric relations related to such ecological variables as maximal reproduction rate, attempts have been made to explain scaling within the context of dynamic energy budget theory and the metabolic theory of ecology.
30.
The allometric study of these systems has fostered a better understanding of why spring mechanisms are so common, how limb compliance varies with body size and speed, and how these mechanisms affect general limb kinematics and dynamics.
