Intrauterine growth and development is one of the most vulnerable process in the human life cycle and it’s aberrations can result in profound and lasting influence in later life. In the context of developing countries, intrauterine growth has been invariably assessed by birth weight. Although it may be reasonable to infer that fetuses who have experienced growth restriction in utero will be lig...

In adulthood, the isocortex of several species is characterized by a gradient in neurons per unit of cortical surface area with fewer neurons per unit of cortical surface area in the rostral pole relative to the caudal pole. A gradient in neurogenesis timing predicts differences in neurons across the isocortex: neurons per unit of cortical surface area are fewer rostrally, where neurogenesis du...

This study assesses the macroeconomic effects of minimum-lot-size requirements and building permit caps that have been implemented by some of the suburban municipalities in the Chicago metropolitan area. This is accomplished by using the spatial regional econometric inputoutput framework, which overcomes the shortcomings of traditional top-down approach to vertical regional economy – land use i...

The venous efflux from cerebral dural venous sinus into the extracranial venous drainage is predominantly based on sigmoid venous sinus draining into the internal jugular vein. In the fetal stage, the rapid growth of cerebral hemispheres leads to an enlargement of transverse venous sinuses in somewhat disproportionate manner to growth of sigmoid venous sinus and internal jugular vein. Therefore...
