Orthogonal factor coefficient development of subcutaneous adipose tissue topography (SAT-Top) in girls and boys.

abstract：:Understanding the mechanical features of cortical bone and their changes with growth and adaptation to function plays an important role in our ability to interpret the morphology and evolution of craniofacial skeletons. We assessed the elastic properties of cortical bone of juvenile and adult baboon mandibles using ul...
