background:growth is one of the most important indices in child health. the best and most effective way to investigate child health is measuring the physical growth indices such as weight, height and head circumference. among these measures, weight growth is the simplest and the most effective way to determine child growth status. weight trend at a given age is the result of cumulative growth e...

As the first wave of biopharmaceuticals is set to expire, biosimilars or follow-on protein products (FOPPs) have emerged. The regulatory foundation for these products is more advanced and better codified in Europe than in the US. Recent approval of biosimilar Somatropin (growth hormone) in Europe and the US prompted this paper. The scientific viability of biosimilar growth hormone is reviewed. ...

This paper investigates the implications of social rewards on the allocation of talent in society and consequently on the process of economic growth. We consider two sources of heterogeneity among workers: nonwage income and innate ability. A greater emphasis on status may induce the "wrong" individuals, that is, those with low ability and high wealth, to acquire schooling, causing workers with...

We review current theory, simulation and experiment for the growth of 3D bubbles in ideal dry froth. Theories assume either that the growth rate depends on bubble radius or topology. Radius based laws violate the Young-Laplace law. Topological theories can be either linear or non-linear in the number of faces (f). The growth law can hold either exactly for each bubble (as in 2D) or apply only t...
