Biometry

The publication of this Report merely hastens the rapid decadence of "biometry," the foundations of which have already been sapped by the re-discovery of Mendelism in 1900; but it was necessary to refer to the matter here, since in the advertisements and the other printed matter paid for by the alcoholic party, the public is being informed that the children of alcoholic parents have been proved to be, on the whole, superior to those of non-alcoholic parents. ❋ Unknown (1909)

I looked further and found her degree was from a Catholic college and was for biometry. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The dominant approach to the study of heredity at the time was biometry, spearheaded by Karl Pearson in London, which involved statistical analysis of the phenotypic variation found in natural populations. ❋ Okasha, Samir (2006)

"The Ramans are certainly watching too," he said, indicating that he thought the biometry was unnecessary. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1992)

Just after lunch, while I was sitting beside Richard and routinely checking all his biometry, Katie asked me if she could play with Prince Hal and Falstaff. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1992)

When we finished the test in the tank, I inserted a new set of biometry probes in all of us, including Simone. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1992)

This past spring, as much to keep myself busy as anything, I inserted a set of the leftover biometry probes in each of us and monitored the data for a few weeks. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1992)

I injected a set of biometry probes into his system and have been monitoring the output ever since. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1992)

I have replaced Richard's biometry set twice already and have very lengthy records of all his critical parameters. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1992)

McCoy scowled at the monitor over the exam table where Ensign Lebrun lay, her husband still clutching her hand and spoiling the biometry readings. ❋ Jerry Oltion (1990)

"Now it's time for us to go to that biometry meeting." ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

"You can't be pregnant," Nicole replied quickly. "1 would have seen it in your biometry data." ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

Her detailed analysis of the biometry data from General Borzov showed that he had had extraordinary levels of two strange chemicals in his system just before his death. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

You hoped that nobody analyzing the tests would call for a full biometry dump. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

"He designed and developed the biometry system that we are going to use in flight, including the tiny probes that will be inserted into our bodies." ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

Nicole had pulled out her scanner and biometry monitor to check all his vital statistics. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

But while she had been sitting in her office at home the previous morning, routinely checking the biometry from the final set of simulations, Nicole had come across a curious phenomenon. ❋ Clarke, Arthur C. (1989)

[Danielle] [studies] biometry, that means she studies [the science] of math. ❋ Mr. Biometry Himself (2005)
