background: iran, a low- to middle-income country, has experienced considerable socioeconomic changes in 20 th century, which their impacts on the adult heights has not been assessed deeply by now. this article aims to quantify the temporal varia­tions of height (with respect to shrinkage of height due to aging) and its deterministic factors in iranian population born be­tween 1940 and 1984. me...

A sequence of approximations for the determinant and its logarithm of a complex matrix is derived, along with relative error bounds. The determinant approximations are derived from expansions of det(X) = exp(trace(log(X))), and they apply to non-Hermitian matrices. Examples illustrate that these determinant approximations are efficient for lattice simulations of finite temperature nuclear matte...

Objectives  Surgeons are now utilizing small incisions when performing thyroidectomy. This study evaluated the association between patient weight, nodule size, and maximum thyroid diameter and the length of an open thyroidectomy incision. Study Design  Retrospective analysis of 32 consecutive patients. Subjects and Methods  Patient demographics, clinical exam, ultrasound findings, operative fin...

A (mostly) self-contained introduction to the determinant aimed at advanced undergraduates, written for the Math 350H class at Rutgers spring semester of 2017. Most of the material is taken from [1, 2], but it has been substantially reorganized. The goal of this article is to present an organized and motivated discussion of the abstract definition of the determinant and its most basic propertie...
