A comparison of measured height and demi-span equivalent height in the assessment of body mass index among people aged 65 years and over in England [PDF]

, 2008
Objectives: to examine differences between measured height and demi-span equivalent height (DEH) among people aged >= 65 and investigate the impact on body mass index (BMI) of using DEH.Design and Setting: nationally representative cross-sectional sample

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

A Novel Solution for Camera Occlusion in Stereo Vision Technique

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2013
Stereo version is a well-known technique for obtaining depth and surface information of objects from images captured by two cameras. In general, this technique is limited by camera occlusion inherent to grooved or steep profiles in 3D shape measurements.

THE EFFECTS OF PEOPLES’ HEIGHT AND RELATIVE HEIGHT ON WELL-BEING [PDF]

Using a rich Italian survey, we investigate the effect of height on individual happiness. From our analysis it emerges that a large part of the effect of height on well-being is driven by a positive correlation between height and economic and health ...

A novel deep intronic EIF2AK3 variant disrupts splicing and causes Wolcott–Rallison syndrome

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Deep intronic variants can disrupt splicing and cause monogenic disease but are missed by routine genetic testing. This study assessed the contribution of deep intronic variants to Wolcott–Rallison syndrome (WRS), a recessive disorder characterized by early‐onset diabetes and progressive multisystem disease caused by loss‐of‐function ...

On ladder height densities and Laguerre series in the study of stochastic functionals. II. Exponential functionals of brownian motion and asian option values [PDF]

Advances in Applied Probability, 2006
In this paper we develop a constructive structure theory for a class of exponential functionals of Brownian motion which includes Asian option values. This is done in two stages of differing natures. As a first step, the functionals are represented as Laguerre reduction series obtained from main results of Schröder (2006), this paper's companion paper.

Conceptualising post‐growth to advance corporate sustainability research: A comparative literature review

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract This comparative literature review explores how an expanding body of interdisciplinary post‐growth literature aligns, extends or challenges ecocentric Corporate Sustainability (eCS) research in management (i.e., rooted in systems thinking, emphasising planetary boundaries, ecological limits and embeddedness).
