Finite difference approximations for a size-structured population model with distributed states in the recruitment [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we consider a size-structured population model where individuals may be recruited into the population at different sizes. First and second order finite difference schemes are developed to approximate the solution of the mathematical model ...

Hypertension in Pregnancy and Size at Birth
Blood Pressure, 1996 Low birth weight and high placental weight are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Children born after hypertensive pregnancies have higher blood pressure than children born after normotensive pregnancies. Hypertension in pregnancy is considered a major risk factor for intrauterine growth retardation.

Growth, current size and the role of the 'reversal paradox' in the foetal origins of adult disease: an illustration using vector geometry [PDF]
, 2006 BACKGROUND Numerous studies have reported inverse associations between birth weight and a range of diseases in later life. These have led to the development of the 'foetal origins of adult disease hypothesis'. However, many such studies have only been

Size of Sri Lankan newborns at birth
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2011 This prospective population-based study, involving 4,120 births at the Maternity Unit, Teaching Hospital Kandy, in the years 2008 and 2009, was undertaken to determine the mean birth weight of the newborns in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The mean birth weight of 2,854 g was found to be equivalent with those calculated from several earlier studies ...
