Monte Carlo Simulations of Star Clusters - VII. The globular cluster 47 Tuc [PDF]
We describe Monte Carlo models for the dynamical evolution of the massive globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104). The code includes treatments of two-body relaxation, most kinds of three- and four-body interactions involving primordial binaries and those ...

SOFTWARE TO ASSESS BEEF CATTLE BODY MASS THROUGH THE FUZZY BODY MASS INDEX [PDF]
The Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used by farmers to help determine the time of evaluation of the body mass gain of the animal. However, the calculation of this index does not reveal immediately whether the animal is ready for slaughter or if it needs ...

Body composition and pulmonary function in Cystic Fibrosis
Background: Lower body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (CF). Hypothesis: Lean body mass (LBM) is more strongly associated with pulmonary function than BMI is.Methods: Anthropometrics, body composition by ...

The sitting-height index of build, (body mass)/(sitting height)³, as an improvement on the body mass index for children, adolescents and young adults [PDF]
The body mass index (BMI) is unsatisfactory in being affected by both relative leg length and height, and, for use with children and adolescents, therefore needs to be interpreted in relation to age. The sitting-height index of build (body mass)/(sitting
