Metabolic scaling law for fetus and placenta.
The human fetal birth weight does not scale linearly with the weight of the placenta, but exhibits an allometric scaling consistent with Kleiber's Law for the basal metabolic rate. We discuss the possible causes of such scaling, and its clinical consequences. In particular, we show that the value of the scaling exponent is an indicator of a normal fetoplacental development.
متن کاملTHE SCALING LAW FOR THE DISCRETE KINETIC GROWTH PERCOLATION MODEL
The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
متن کاملLocalisation of the Fetus and Placenta
Normal human placental metabolism has been studied in vivo by image localised 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy in 13 women with anterior placentas; five, however, were too fat for useful spectral signals to be obtained. Magnetic resonance spectra of good quality which were considered to have arisen from the placenta were obtained from seven women with uncomplicated pregnancies (median gestat...
متن کاملMarch 1964 TSH IN PLACENTA AND FETUS
Certain functional relationships are known to exist, between the maternal and fetal thyroid glands. Whether or not thyroid stimulating hormons (TSH) takes part in this relationship is a problem of interest. In the present studies, special attention was paid to the possibility that TSH may be produced in the placental tissue since reports on this subject have been limited and it is an unknown ar...

Scaling law for the Υ(4S) → B ¯ B and ψ(3770) → D ¯ D decay constants from effective sum rules Abstract Sum rules for exclusive production of heavy meson pairs in e + e − annihilation are used to evaluate the Υ(4S) → B ¯ B and ψ(3770) → D ¯ D decay widths. Infinitely heavy quark limit is discussed, so that scaling law for the quarkonium-meson coupling constant is derived. A value of the B ¯ B p...
