Let p be a prime, and let Zp denote the field of integers modulo p. The Nathanson height of a point v ∈ Z p is the sum of the least nonnegative integer representatives of its coordinates. The Nathanson height of a subspace V ⊆ Z p is the least Nathanson height of any of its nonzero points. In this paper, we resolve a conjecture of Nathanson [M. B. Nathanson, Heights on the finite projective lin...

To study the effect of thyrotoxicosis on growth, 46 children and adolescents presenting with thyrotoxicosis have been reviewed and followed up for several years, in most cases until adult height was achieved. At presentation the children were underweight for height but were above expected heights even if already well advanced in puberty. Despite bone ages often being very advanced at diagnosis,...

Knee height has been the most frequently used measure for height prediction where full height is difficult to measure. The aim of this study was to develop and validate predictive equations using knee height to estimate the height of Thai women. The female participants were 18-59 years of age and lived in Bangkok or three surrounding provinces. They were assigned to one of two groups; the equat...
