'3⁄4 Law ' Revisited in Allometry
allometry, dynamic biological mass, real biological mass, metabolism, ontogenetic
Abstract
The success of ¾ law in allometry has been entirely due to the uncanny fitting to the datasets. But on the contrary, the proof of ¾ factor seemed to elude rather than more convincing 2/3 law seemed to be prevalent. In this communication based on recent findings due to Opto Droplet tool shows the reincarnation of the ¾ law. The analysis is based on the hypothesis of Dynamic Biological Mass and Real Biological Mass rather than simple biological mass. It can be seen that this hypothesis can lead to the distinction between malicious growth and good growth.
