A gecko-inspired robot with CPG-based neural control for locomotion and body height adaptation
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2022Today’s gecko-inspired robots have shown the ability of omnidirectional climbing on slopes with a low centre of mass. However, such an ability cannot efficiently cope with bumpy terrains or terrains with obstacles.

A SNP in PLAG1 is associated with body height trait in Chinese cattle.
Animal Genetics, 2020Stature is an important quantitative trait for cattle performance, which influences herd productivity. Previous studies have reported that an SNP (AC_000171.1:g.25015640G>T, rs109815800) in Pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) on chromosome 14 (CHR14) is ...

Accurate Estimation of Body Height From a Single Depth Image via a Four-Stage Developing Network
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2020Non-contact measurement of human body height can be very difficult under some circumstances.In this paper we address the problem of accurately estimating the height of a person with arbitrary postures from a single depth image.

Body height in Turner's syndrome
Clinical Genetics, 1982Disease‐specific growth curves for Turner's syndrome were calculated by means of 2nd order homogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients, taking different cytogenetical subtypes into account. Comparison of these growth curves between X‐monosomic (n=64) and 46,XX/45,X‐mixoploid (n = 20) patients reveals no differences, in contrast to the

Body Height Measurements in Images
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2009Abstract: For any measurement of a person’s height in an image, a difference exists between the actual height of the person and the image measurement. In order to gain knowledge about statistical behavior of differences between actual and measured heights it is necessary to make reference recordings, e.g., of test persons under the same recording ...

Body height changes with hyperextension
Clinical Biomechanics, 1996OBJECTIVE: To automatize the lumbar physical examination with an acceptable rate of error. DESIGN: An external skin marker method for automatizing the physical examination was developed and its ability to discriminate between normal and abnormal subjects tested in a blind clinical trial.

Body Height Changes from Vibration
Spine, 1987A device for measuring body height is reported (SD, 1 mm). The change in body height before and after vibration and quiet sitting respectively was studied in eight men aged 22-44 years who were free of back pain. The vibration frequency was set at 5 Hz and the acceleration at 2 msec-2.

Estimates of body height in adult inpatients
Clinical Nutrition, 2006Different estimates of body height are broad applied in clinical practice, although its accuracy and precision are few known. In order to clarify the applicability of these estimates, concerned with the hypothesis that it is of too few accuracy and precision, the authors compared patient's actual height to their self reported height (SRH), to the value

Body‐height and inbreeding in France
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1967AbstractDahlberg's ('43) hypothesis that heterosis is a major component of the secular trend towards increased stature is supported by the significant negative correlation between stature and the coefficient of inbreeding in 70 departments of France. This phenomenon is especially evident after the onset of puberty, (r at age 7 = −0.25 for boys: −0.24 ...
