Female adolescent craniofacial growth spurts: real or fiction?
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the various aspects of the craniofacial complex exhibit female adolescent growth spurts. Multilevel polynomial models were used to estimate the growth curves of a mixed-longitudinal sample of 111 untreated females 10-15 years of age. To evaluate the horizontal and vertical movements of the individual landmarks relative to stable structures, the t...
متن کاملFrom Growth Spurts to Sustained Growth
This paper presents new evidence on the existence of pre-industrial growth spurts and the nature of economic growth during the transition from Malthus to Solow. In this research, growth spurts are an intrinsic feature of the economy, but throughout history their effect on standards of living is mostly temporary. Sustained rises in living standards only become sustained when there are complement...
متن کاملAre Extra Dimensions Real or Are They Just Science Fiction?
The recent proposal of theories with compactified large extra dimensions is reviewed. We pay especial attention to brane world models with low tension where the only relevant degrees of freedom at low energies are the Standard Model (SM) particles and the branons, which are transversal brane oscillations. By using an effective Lagrangian, we study some phenomenological consequences of these sce...
متن کاملIs thyroid stunning a real phenomenon or just fiction?
Thyroid stunning is usually defined as decreased uptake or trapping of radioiodine 131I by normal thyroid tissue or differentiated thyroid cancer after diagnostic administration of 131I. As simple as this definition might be, it is as important to understand the mechanisms by which this phenomenon, if real, is caused. There are 2 possible explanations: Stunning may result either from a reductio...
متن کاملReal-time liquid biopsy in cancer patients: fact or fiction?
Distant metastases harbor unique genomic characteristics not detectable in the corresponding primary tumor of the same patient and metastases located at different sites show a considerable intrapatient heterogeneity. Thus, the mere analysis of the resected primary tumor alone (current standard practice in oncology) or, if possible, even reevaluation of tumor characteristics based on the biopsy ...
