Hypertension a major factor for disease, but its association with height remains largely underrecognized. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The objective this manuscript review the evidence examining between blood ...

Corn height measured manually has shown promising results in improving the relationship between active-optical (AO) sensor readings and crop yield. Manual measurement of corn height is not practical in US commercial corn production, so an alternative automatic method must be found in order to capture the benefit of including canopy height into in-season yield estimates and from there into in-se...

OBJECTIVE This study examined whether there is an association between height and BP levels in Japanese adolescents. METHODS The source population was all fifth (10 and 11-year-olds)...

We present a correspondence-free method to automatically estimate the spatio-temporal parameters of gait (stride length and cadence) of a walking person from video. Stride and cadence are functions of body height, weight, and gender, and we use these biometrics for identification and verification of people. The cadence is estimated using the periodicity of a walking person. Using a calibrated c...
