We construct two models containing exactly one supercompact cardinal in which all nonsupercompact measurable cardinals are strictly taller than they are either strongly compact or supercompact. In the first of these models, level by level equivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness holds. In the other, level by level inequivalence between strong compactness and supercompactness ...

Referral for an assessment of tall stature is much less common than for short stature. Although the commonest cause is an underlying familial tendency to tallness, there are important disorders that should be considered at the initial assessment. Distinguishing these conditions from normal variations of growth is the key objective when managing the child and family. In some children, further ta...

Both the 48,XXYY and the 47,XYY chromosome anomalies are now well-recognized conditions following the first reports by Muldal and Ockey (1960) of the XXYY genotype, and Sandberg et al. (1961) who described an XYY male. This paper presents the findings in 2 patients with 47,XYY/48,XXYY mosaicism, and one patient with the 47,XYY anomaly, discovered among 250 men in a comprehensive hospital for th...

The arrest of excessive tallness in girls with hormonal therapy has been reported to be useful, but lack of accuracy in the prediction of ultimate stature based on the tables of Bayley and Pinneau (1952) has allowed only a rough evaluation of its benefits. A series of 40 tall girls were treated with oestrogens and mature stature was evaluated by the method of Tanner et al. (1975). Results were ...

Abstract This study among 725 male and 247 female police officers from The Netherlands examined the association between self-reported height occupational rank perspective of sexual selection. Male were taller than average population. A larger percentage women men was found in lowest ranks, but leadership positions, there a similar as men. Overall, especially women, linearly associated with rank...

Abstract The UN estimate 2.5 billion new urban residents by 2050, thus further increasing global greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and energy demand, the environmental impacts caused built environment. Achieving optimal use of space maximal efficiency in buildings is therefore fundamental for sustainable urbanisation. There a growing belief that building taller denser better. However, design oft...

OBJECTIVE Intrauterine growth has been associated with atopic conditions. Growth and adult height have been associated with cardiovascular disease, cancers and mortality but are highly genetic traits. The objectives of the study were as follows: first, to define a height measure indicating an individual's height below or above that which could be expected based on parental height (genetic inher...

Previous research on the relationship between height and reproductive success in women has produced mixed results. One possible explanation for these is mediation by ecological factors, such as environmental stress. Here we investigate female height and reproductive success under conditions of environmental stress (poverty) using a large scale dataset from Guatemala (n = 2,571). Controlling for...

During archaeological campaigne on Vucedol site 7 crania and cranial fragments together with 10 halfs of lower jaws were found. Due to existance of crania and lower jaws damages and therefore lack of preserved craniometrical points, it was not possible to measure the same craniometrical lengths on all the samples. Apart from craniometrical measurements, 6 craniometrical indices and ratios were ...

The associations patterns between reproductive success, measured by the total number of offspring, number of living offspring and number of dead offspring, and parental body size, estimated by stature, body weight and Body mass index, were tested in 65 female and 103 male members of a !Kung San population ageing between 25 and 40 years (x = 30.2 yr.) from northern Namibia. In both sexes a signi...
