Final adult height of children with inflammatory bowel disease is predicted by parental height and patient minimum height Z-score

, 2010
Background: This study was designed to elucidate the contribution of parental height to the stature of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), who often exhibit growth impairment.

Neuromorphic Devices for Extreme Environments: State‐Variable Reliability and Stabilization Strategies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Neuromorphic devices for extreme environments are interpreted through the physical states that store and process information. Radiation, temperature extremes, and vacuum can perturb vacancies, filaments, trapped charges, polarization, interfaces, and readout signals.

Comparing the predicted final and target height in girls with pubertal onset between 7 and 9.5 years of age

, 2016
Background: One of the main concerns about the early puberty is short final height. In cases comparing the predicted final and target height can help predicting this problem.

Relationships of adult body height and BMI status to hyperuricemia in general Japanese male population: The Nagasaki Islands Study [PDF]

, 2013
Several studies have reported that adult height is positively associated with risk of cancer on the hypothesis that height is a marker of childhood physical condition, and others that the risk of cancer was higher for participants with higher serum uric ...

Configuration‐Encoded Cell Alignment by Light‐Gated Silicon Photovoltaic Microcell Arrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐gated silicon photovoltaic microcells convert pulsed illumination into localized electrical cues. Arranging otherwise similar microcells into four‐lobed, six‐lobed, or circular patterns directs fibroblasts into corresponding local arrangements without wired stimulation.

A Miniaturized Autonomous Thermomagnetic Generator

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micro, autonomous and high power thermomagnetic generator operating between a heat dissipator and a processor. ABSTRACT Thermomagnetic generators (TMG) are promising devices for converting low‐grade waste heat into electricity. Self‐actuation using permanent magnets is the key to autonomy.

Emergence of a Hexagonal Fe2S2 Single Layer Without a Bulk Counterpart via Phase Transformation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Upon annealing, single‐layer Mackinawite iron sulfide transforms into a previously unknown hexagonal Fe2S2${\rm Fe}_2{\rm S}_2$ phase with β$\beta$‐CuI structure. STM, LEED, and first‐principles calculations identify the structure and show that electronic correlations and magnetic order are important for its stability.

Child height, health and human capital: evidence using genetic markers [PDF]

Height has long been recognised as associated with better outcomes: the question is whether this association is causal. We use children’s genetic variants as instrumental variables (IV) to deal with possible unobserved confounders and examine the effect ...
