The subject of the paper is to find an analytical formula describing a relationship between themaximum value of an annual tree stand height increment and the age at which it takes place. The 19height growth benchmarks representing all site quality indexes of two species: beech and spruce weretaken into consideration.

While factors such as genetics may mediate the relationship between height and mortality, evidence suggests that larger body size may be an important risk indicator of reduced lifespan longevity in particular. This study critically examined this relationship in professional basketball players. We examined living and deceased players who have played in the National Basketball Association (debut ...

Controversy exists about relationship of H. pylori infection and somatic growth retardation of children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between H. pylori infection and growth parameters in children. 113 children with dyspepsia (4-18 years) were enrolled. C13 urea breath test was performed for determination of H.pylori infection. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and ...

This paper describes computational techniques for utilizing the relationship between shadows and man-made structures to aid in the automatic extraction of man-made structures from aerial imagery. Four methods are described that perform the prediction of structure shape, grouping of related structures, verification of individual structures, and structure height estimation. In each method the rel...

The relationship of stand top and stand mean height is important for forest growth and yield modeling, but it has not been explored for natural mixed forests. Observations of stand top and stand mean height can present spatial dependence or autocorrelation, which should be considered in modeling. Simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) models, including spatial lag model (SLM), spatial Durbin model (...
