A large literature documents a widespread prevalence of small stature among Indian children as well as adults. We show that a height gap relative to a richer population such as whites in England also exists, although substantially reduced, among adult immigrants of Indian ethnicity in England. This is despite positive height selection into migration, demonstrated by ethnic Indian adults in Engl...

that he beautifully develops earlier in the work. More work on the functional consequences would allow him to fill in even more gaps in the literature. Even with these omissions, however, Cuff provides a valuable and nuanced view of the factors that influenced stature for these men in the antebellum period, and he also devises, very cleverly, a way around a troubling and persistent problem in t...

Methods: From a population of 905 individuals aged 35 years and over, 388 were randomly selected. Selection of subjects was done with official records of the Baskil Health Care Center. Although repeated invitations were made, 32 individuals (29 men and 3 women) did not participate. Thus, 356 subjects were enrolled. Blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels, body height and weight were measure...

We prove a formula, which, given principally polarized abelian variety $(A,\lambda)$ over the field of algebraic numbers, relates stable Faltings height $A$ with N\'eron--Tate symmetric theta divisor on $A$. Our formula completes earlier results due to Bost, Hindry, Autissier and Wagener. The local non-archimedean terms in our can be expressed as tropical moments tropicalizations $(A,\lambda)$.
