Three-Legged Dogs Aid in Robot Design

German researchers used high-tech infrared cameras to record the movements of dogs missing a fore limb or hind limb as they walked and ran on a treadmill. The tests revealed that the dogs used different coping methods, depending on which limb was missing.

Adjusting to a missing fore limb is more difficult for a dog than dealing with a missing hind limb, for example. Fore limb amputation requires the remaining limbs to undergo careful adaptation to coordinate with each other, a process called "gait compensation." In the case of a hind-limb amputation, the fore limbs continue to act as they normally would in a four-legged dog, so there is little or no compensation strategy.

The difference in compensation strategies may be due to the fact that a dog's fore limbs carry more body weight than the hind limbs.

The research is slated to be presented Thursday at the Society for Experimental Biology's annual meeting in Prague.

Best Answer - Chosen by Health waleThere isn't an average testicle size documented for a 14 year old boy, because there is no standard for that age.Take a look at the photo of three 14 year olds in the link below (you will need to scroll down the page). All three boys are exactly the same age (14) and all are clinically normal, but as you can see, there are marked differences in their heights, growth and genital developments.Testicle sizes are normally measured by volume and they grows from 1.5mL or less at stage G1 of puberty, to 10mL or more at stage G5, when they reach full adult size.

Best Answer - Chosen by Health walewhen your first getting your period it will skip around a bit. and it also depends on who you hang out with. when girls hang out a lot, they get their periods around the same time. don't stress. if your not having sex then there is no worries. but if you don't get it in march, just check with a doctor.
