In this lecture we present an overview of the physics of irreversible fractal growth process, with particular emphasis on a class of models characterized by quenched disorder. These models exhibit self-organization, with critical properties developing spontaneously, without the fine tuning of external parameters. This situation is different from the usual critical phenomena, and requires the in...

Growth disorder is an umbrella term for a range of abnormal growth patterns, such as unusually fast or slow growth in infants or children. The causes of growth disorder include hormonal irregularities, chronic disease, complications during pregnancy or genetic conditions. A complex trait such as body size is influenced by multiple genes as well as environmental factors, giving rise to a continu...

Growth and development in humans begin at conception, which shows progress interdependence. Normal children show the characteristic of growth development. In with disorder, chromosomal abnormality may be found. This study aimed to determine patients disorder. The samples were taken from karyotype results Medical Genetics Laboratory, Faculty Medicine, Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya, 2010-202...
