The critical height is a moduli height

Measuring height in recumbent critical care patients.

BACKGROUND Estimates of the height of patients in the intensive care unit are required to adhere to clinical guidelines for drug dosages, ventilatory support, and nutrition. The gold standard of standing height cannot be used because these patients are often unconscious and recumbent. The ability of physiotherapists or dietitians to measure height in unconscious, recumbent patients has not been...

Total Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height

Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...

Examination of a critical roughness height for outer layer similarity

The existence of a critical roughness height for outer layer similarity between smooth and rough wall turbulent boundary layers is investigated. Results are presented for boundary layer measurements on flat plates covered with sandgrain and woven mesh with the ratio of the boundary layer thickness to roughness height /k varying from 16 to 110 at Re =7.3 103–13 103. In all cases tested, the laye...

The Height of a Giraffe *

A minor modification of the arguments of Press and Lightman leads to an estimate of the height of the tallest running, breathing organism on a habitable planet as the Bohr radius multiplied by the three-tenths power of the ratio of the electrical to gravitational forces between two protons (rather than the one-quarter power that Press got for the largest animal that would not break in falling o...
