Nerve Cross Sectional Area in Extremes of Height and Weight
Introduction: Cross-sectional nerve area reference values have been reported for many populations including pediatric, geriatric, and middle-aged, however few studies have investigated extremely tall and heavy individuals. Previous studies are conflicting; some suggest height and others weight as …

Time-series and cross-sectional momentum investment strategies: International evidence
… Momentum strategies have proved to be robust across time, countries and asset classes, leading Fama (1998) to observe that momentum remains the “premier unexplained anomaly”. The existence of the momentum abnormal returns continues to challenge the market efficiency theory. The majority of …

Explorations into Appendicular Ontogeny using a Cross-Sectional, Contemporary U.S. Sample
Investigations into the subadult skeleton have been restricted by sample availability in biological anthropology. Alternatively, the same source of longitudinal data has been repeatedly used, which does not reflect the variability of growth and development (i.e., ontogeny) or the United States …
