A Comparison of Vertical Ground Reaction Forces in Single-leg Jump Take-offs and Double-leg Jump Take-offs in Indoor Collegiate Volleyball Players [PDF]
, 2020 The purpose of this study was to determine if differences in vertical ground reaction forces (vGRFs) exist between single-leg take-off approaches (SL) and double-leg take-off approaches (DL) and if sex or positional differences existed in vGRFs in SL- or

Duck! Scaling the height of a horizontal barrier to body height [PDF]
Attention, Perception & Psychophysics, 2010 Recent research shows that the body is used to scale environmental extents. We question whether the body is used to scale heights as measured by real actions (Experiments 1 and 2) or by judgments about action and extent made from a single viewpoint (Experiments 3 and 4).

Subtype‐specific enhancer RNAs define transcriptional regulators and prognosis in breast cancers
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study employed machine learning methodologies to perform the subtype‐specific classification of RNA‐seq data sets, which are mapped on enhancers from TCGA‐derived breast cancer patients. Their integration with gene expression (referred to as ProxCReAM eRNAs) and chromatin accessibility profiles has the potential to identify lineage‐specific and ...

Allometric Exponent and Randomness
, 2013 An allometric height-mass exponent $\gamma$ gives an approximative power-law relation $ \propto H^\gamma$ between the average mass $$ and the height $H$, for a sample of individuals.

Correlation between body mass index and waist circumference in Nigerian adults: implication as indicators of health status [PDF]
, 2013 Background. Anthropometric measures have been widely used for body weight classification in humans. Waist circumference has been advanced as a useful parameter for measuring adiposity. This study evaluated the correlation between body mass index (BMI)

Scaling of body composition to height: relevance to height-normalized indexes [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2011 Body weight scales to height with a power of ≈2, thus forming the basis of body mass index (weight/height(2)). The corresponding scaling of body composition to height has not been established in a representative sample of US adults.The aim of the study was to examine the scaling of weight, fat, fat-free mass, and bone mineral content to height.Adult ...
