  2. Pelvimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvimetry

    Pelvimetry is the measurement of the female pelvis. [1] It can theoretically identify cephalo-pelvic disproportion, which is when the capacity of the pelvis is inadequate to allow the fetus to negotiate the birth canal. However, clinical evidence indicate that all pregnant women should be allowed a trial of labor regardless of pelvimetry ...

  3. Human vaginal size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_vaginal_size

    [1] [5] A 2003 study by the group of Pendergrass et al. also using castings as a measurement method, measured vaginal surface areas ranging from 66 to 107 cm 2 (10.2 to 16.6 sq in) with a mean of 87 cm 2 (13.5 sq in) and a standard deviation of 7.8 cm 2 (1.21 sq in) [6]

  4. Interaction-free measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction-free_measurement

    In quantum computation such measurements are referred to as counterfactual quantum computation, [3] an idea introduced by physicists Graeme Mitchinson and Richard Jozsa. Examples include Keith Bowden's Counterfactual Mirror Array, [ 4 ] describing a digital computer that could be counterfactually interrogated to calculate whether a light beam ...

  5. Bust/waist/hip measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bust/waist/hip_measurements

    Breast volume will have an effect on the perception of a woman's figure even when bust/waist/hip measurements are nominally the same. Brassière band size is measured below the breasts, not at the bust. A woman with measurements of 36A–27–38 will have a different presentation than a woman with measurements of 34C–27–38.

  6. Fundal height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundal_height

    However, landmark distances from the pubic symphysis are highly variable depending on body type. In clinical practice, recording the actual fundal height measurement from the palpable top of the uterus to the superior edge of the pubic symphysis is standard practice beginning around 20 weeks gestation.

  7. Female body shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_body_shape

    Female body shape or female figure is the cumulative product of a woman's bone structure along with the distribution of muscle and fat on the body.. Female figures are typically narrower at the waist than at the bust and hips.

  8. List of unusual units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of...

    The measurement of time is unique in SI in that while the second is the base unit, and measurements of time smaller than a second use prefixed units smaller than a second (e.g. microsecond, nanosecond, etc.), measurements larger than a second instead use traditional divisions, including the sexagesimal-based minute and hour as well as the less ...

  9. Anthropometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropometry

    A Bertillon record for Francis Galton, from a visit to Bertillon's laboratory in 1893. The history of anthropometry includes and spans various concepts, both scientific and pseudoscientific, such as craniometry, paleoanthropology, biological anthropology, phrenology, physiognomy, forensics, criminology, phylogeography, human origins, and cranio-facial description, as well as correlations ...
