A 2009 study in Biology Letters argues: " Sexual differences in 2D: 4D are mainly caused by the shift along the common allometric line with non-zero intercept, which means 2D: 4D necessarily decreases with increasing finger length, and the fact that men have longer fingers than women ," which may be the basis for the sex difference in digit ratios and / or any putative hormonal influence on the ratios.

We are also informed that " he spent several years in sciences among Oxonians, particularly, as it seems, in Gloucester Hall ; but that study, which he used for a diversion only, proved at length an employment of profit ".

According to Doctor Gontero, the leading Doctor of the above mentioned study which was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2009, " Overall treatment results were subjectively scored as acceptable in spite of curvature improvements, which varied from “ no change ” to “ mild improvement .”" The study concluded that penile extender devices provided only minimal improvements in penile curvature but patients were generally satisfied likely from increased penile length.

Cave maps, called surveys, can be used to compare caves to each other by length, depth and volume, may reveal clues on speleogenesis, provide a spatial reference for further scientific study, and assist visitors with route-finding.

Such an instrument is expected to be especially useful if it could be used to measure the elasticity of heavy pastes such as printing inks, paints, adhesives, molten plastics, and bread dough, for the elasticity is related to those various properties termed `` length '', `` shortness '', `` spinnability '', etc., which are usually judged by subjective methods at present.

Laurence M. Klauber put length at maturity at two thirds the ultimate length for some rattlesnakes, and Charles C. Carpenter's data on Michigan garter and ribbon snakes ( Thamnophis ) show that the smallest gravid females are more than half as long as the biggest adults.

For four of the six ( the anaconda and the amethystine python cannot be included for lack of data ) there is also a correlation between size at maturity and maximum length, the boa constrictor being the smallest and the Indian python the next in size at the former stage.

The following information on snakes varying greatly in size ( but all with less than a 10-foot maximum ) shows, when considered with the foregoing, that there is probably no correlation between the length of a snake and the time required for it to mature.
