The sexy and formidable male body: men's height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits [PDF]
Biol. Lett. 21 (2025) 2-7On average men are taller and more muscular than women, which confers on them advantages related to female choice and during physical competition with other men. Sexual size dimorphisms such as these come with vulnerabilities due to higher maintenance and developmental costs for the sex with the larger trait.

An etiologic evaluation of children with short stature in Gorgan (Northeast Iran), 2005
, 2007 Growth is an important biological process during childhood. Short stature is the most common cause of a child to be examined by an endocrinologist. This cross-sectional study was performed to determine the short stature causes in children aged 6-14 years

Approach to A Child with Short Stature
Apollo Medicine, 2007 PEDIATRICS is the science of the growing child, and it therefore is essential for every paediatrician to monitor and chart the growth of each child who is under one’s regular follow-up. Why? Because if the height gain is too slow, or too fast, and similarly if the weight gain is too slow or too fast, it can alert us to take action early.

Modeling of Body Mass Index by Newton's Second Law [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 248 (2007) 646, 2008 Since laws of physics exist in nature, their possible relationship to terrestial growth is introduced. By considering the human body as a dynamic system of variable mass (and volume), growing under a gravity field, it is shown how natural laws may influence the vertical growth of humans.

A hybrid econometric-machine learning approach for relative importance analysis: Prioritizing food policy [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 A measure of relative importance of variables is often desired by researchers when the explanatory aspects of econometric methods are of interest. To this end, the author briefly reviews the limitations of conventional econometrics in constructing a reliable measure of variable importance.

Residual Finiteness of $A_{2,3,2n}$ Triangle Artin Groups [PDF]
arXivWe prove that triangle Artin groups of the type $A_{2,3,2n}$ are residually finite for all $n\geq4$. This requires splitting these triangle Artin groups as graphs of groups and then proving that each of these graphs of groups has finite stature with respect to its vertex groups.
