BACKGROUND Interactions between nutrition and infections in developing countries are complex, and analyses of the interrelations require data from longitudinal studies that span several years and a comprehensive framework facilitating the formulation of food and health policies. OBJECTIVE The effects of dietary intakes in the Philippines for birth outcomes, heights, weights, and morbidity dur...

We show the existence of canonical heights (normalized heights) of subvarieties for bounded sequences of morphisms and give some applications.

of abutments with two different diameters and transmucosal heights used for cementretained implant-supported prostheses in Morse-taper implants. Forty Morse-taper implants were divided into four groups with different abutment sizes for cement-retained prostheses in order to perform the compressive test. The groups were divided by abutment diameter and transmucosal height as follows: Group 1: 4....

Based largely on the famous "visual cliff" paradigm, conventional wisdom is that crawling infants avoid crossing the brink of a dangerous drop-off because they are afraid of heights. However, recent research suggests that the conventional wisdom is wrong. Avoidance and fear are conflated, and there is no compelling evidence to support fear of heights in human infants. Infants avoid crawling or ...

Spatially-detailed forest height data are useful to monitor local, regional and global carbon cycle. LiDAR remote sensing can measure three-dimensional forest features but generating spatially-contiguous forest height maps at a large scale (e.g., continental and global) is problematic because existing LiDAR instruments are still data-limited and expensive. This paper proposes a new approach bas...

purpose : to investigate intraocular pressure (iop) changes due to different serum level heights by using tonopen in acquired globes from the iran eye bank (ieb). methods : in this interventional prospective case series, serum were infused into 18 normal globes acquired from ieb by using 21g needle inserted in vitreal space through optic nerve head to change the iop by different fluid level hei...
