Scaling of human body mass with height: the Body Mass Index revisited [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 We adapt a biomechanical argument of Rashevsky, which places limits on the stress experienced by a torso supported by the legs, to deduce that body mass $m$ of growing children should scale as the $p$th power of height $h$ with $7/3

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.Summary Data‐driven forecasting of ship motions in waves is investigated through feedforward and recurrent neural networks as well as dynamic mode decomposition. The goal is to predict future ship motion variables based on past data collected on the field, using equation‐free approaches.

COMPARISON OF ACTUAL AND PREDICTED ANTHROPOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CZECH ELITE GYMNASTS
Science of Gymnastics Journal, 2019 In context of artistic gymnastics, the influence of intense training on the growth and development of male and female gymnasts is often discussed. The aim of this work is to compare the attained and predicted body height and length of body segments in ...

On the satiability of floating bodies [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 The potential energy of a system in stable equilibrium has a minimum value. This property is used to derive a formula that is useful in determi- nation of stability of a floating body. It is found that a floating body is in stable equilibrium if its center of gravity has a minimum height with respect to its related center of buoyancy.

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.In this randomized clinical trial conducted among 142 community‐dwelling older adults at high risk for falls over 12 months, a Dalcroze Eurhythmics exercise intervention (once weekly, group‐based) improved a variety of physical and cognitive/executive function outcomes compared with a multicomponent exercise intervention (twice weekly, group‐ and home ...

What Face and Body Shapes Can Tell About Height [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Recovering a person's height from a single image is important for virtual garment fitting, autonomous driving and surveillance, however, it is also very challenging due to the absence of absolute scale information. We tackle the rarely addressed case, where camera parameters and scene geometry is unknown.

Self-consistent size and velocity distributions of collisional cascades [PDF]
, 2011 The standard theoretical treatment of collisional cascades derives a steady-state size distribution assuming a single constant velocity dispersion for all bodies regardless of size. Here we relax this assumption and solve self-consistently for the bodies' steady-state size and size-dependent velocity distributions.

Body height affects the strength of immune response in young men, but not young women
Scientific Reports, 2014 Body height and other body attributes of humans may be associated with a diverse range of social outcomes such as attractiveness to potential mates. Despite evidence that each parameter plays a role in mate choice, we have little understanding of the ...
