ref: 2001, Miklós Farkas, Dynamical Models in Biology, page 171:
text: Such geometries are called Riemannian geometries; they are characterized by invariant distances (for example, the space-time interval) that depend at most on the squares of the coordinate distances (∆x or ∆t).
ref: 2005, John F. Hawley, Katherine A. Holcomb, Foundations of Modern Cosmology, 2nd edition, page 235:
text: Riemannian geometry has found many applications in science, the most spectacular of these being the theory of relativity.[…]Every Riemannian geometry has geodesics, which are defined as the shortest curves joining two points.
ref: 2010, Saul Stahl, Geometry from Euclid to Knots, page 22:
text: At the beginning of the seventies, A. Gray generalized the classical holonomy concept by introducing a classification principle for non-integrable special Riemannian geometries [and] discovered in this context nearly Kähler manifolds in dimension six and nearly parallel G₂-manifolds in dimension seven.
ref: 2010, Ilka Agricola, “Chapter 9: Non-integrable geometries, torsion, and holonomy”, in Vicente Cortés, editor, Handbook of Pseudo-Riemannian Geometry and Supersymmetry, page 278:
text: The concepts of Riemannian geometry are familiar: length, angle, distance, and curvature, among others. Historically tied to the origins of differential geometry, and with such familiar concepts, Riemannian geometry is often presented in textbooks as being synonymous with differential geometry itself, instead of as one differential-geometric structure among many.

ref: 2008, Gary E. Gibson, Mitochondria and Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Disorders:
text: The biochemical features of parthanatos are distinct from classically defined pathways of cell death, and include rapid PARP-1 activation, early PAR accumulation, mitochondrial depolarization, early nuclear AIF translocation, loss of cellular NAD and ATP, and late caspase activation.
