Puberty generally occurs when an individual has stored a sufficient amount of energy. Previous reports have shown that postnatal overfeeding, induced by a small litter size or maternal high fat diet (HFD) feeding during gestation and lactation increases ...

Statistical Properties of Height of Japanese Schoolchildren [PDF]
We study height distributions of Japanese schoolchildren based on the statictical data which are obtained from the school health survey by the ministry of education, culture, sports, science and technology, Japan . From our analysis, it has been clarified that the distribution of height changes from the lognormal distribution to the normal distribution

Central precocious puberty in a 3 year-old girl with Phenylketonuria: a rare association? [PDF]
Background Central precocious puberty (CPP) and phenylketonuria (PKU) are two rare conditions, the latter being the rarer. To date, only one case featuring both these conditions has been reported, and hyperphenylalaninemia was assumed triggering CPP.

Asymptotic Series and Precocious Scaling [PDF]
Some of the basic concepts regarding asymptotic series are reviewed. A heuristic proof is given that the divergent QCD perturbation series is asymptotic. By treating it as an asymptotic expansion we show that it makes sense to keep only the first few terms. The example of e^+e^- annihilation is considered. It is shown that by keeping only the first few

Hadronic interactions, precocious unification, and cosmic ray showers at Auger energies [PDF]
At Auger energies only model predictions enable us to extract primary cosmic ray features. The simulation of the shower evolution depends sensitively on the first few interactions, necessarily related to the quality of our understanding of high energy hadronic collisions.

Precocious Gauge Symmetry Breaking in $SU(6) \times SU(2)_R$ Model [PDF]
In the $SU(6) \times SU(2)_R$ string-inspired model, we evolve the couplings and the masses down from the string scale $M_S$ using the renormalization group equations and minimize the effective potential. This model has the flavor symmetry including the binary dihedral group $\tilde{D}_4$.

Genetic factors in precocious puberty [PDF]
Pubertal onset is known to result from reactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which is controlled by complex interactions of genetic and nongenetic factors. Most cases of precocious puberty (PP) are diagnosed as central PP (CPP), defined as premature activation of the HPG axis.
