A number of investigators, while recognizing that vertical facial dimensions continue to increase throughout adulthood, have commented on the relative constancy of vertical facial proportions during growth. Broadbent (Angle Orthod 7: 209, 1937) claimed that a proportional increase in the size of the segments of the face occurs after deciduous dentition is completed. Brodie (Am J Orthod 26: 741,...

Background: Balance in physical proportions is one the most important criteria for ideal esthetics. Facial features play a vital role in esthetics. However there are various facial heights like upper facial height (UFH), middle facial height (MFH) and lower facial height (LFH). Aim: To access correlation between individual total body height (TBH) and various facial heights (UFH, MFH and LFH). O...

We present in this paper a numerical investigation of literary texts by various well-known English writers, covering the first half of the twentieth century, based upon the results obtained through corpus analysis of the texts. A fractal power law is obtained for the lexical wealth defined as the ratio between the number of different words and the total number of words of a given text. By consi...
