Growth patterns of hispanic and caucasian children
Growth of children is a powerful indicator of general health used in clinical evaluations. No studies have examined the growth of Hispanic children under 2 years of age and compared the growth with Caucasian children of the same population. Breast-feeding and its impact on growth in children under …

Growth patterns along environmental gradients of tropical pomacentrid fishes
… goal of this thesis is to evaluate latitudinal patterns in the life history traits, standard metabolic rates, and growth potential of two geographically widespread damselfishes, the dispersing Pomacentrus moluccensis (Bleeker 1853) and the brood-caring Acanthochromis polyacanthus (Bleeker 1855) …

Modelling growth patterns of bird species using non-linear mixed effects models
The analysis of growth data is important as it allows us to assess how fast things grow and determine various factors that have impact on their growth. In the current study, growth measurements on body features (body mass, wing length, head length, bill (culmen) length, foot length, and tarsus …

Relationship between growth patterns and planning practices: a case study of the city of Roanoke
… and up-dated plans address current and future growth, and foster or hinder specific kinds of growth. In Roanoke, Virginia, a bounded city with limited vacant land, redevelopment has become an essential element of growth. A case study of Roanoke examined the transformation of Roanoke's zoning …

The spatial and temporal dynamics of commuting : examining the impacts of urban growth patterns, 1980-2000
… increase can be explained by land development patterns, particularly the spatial relationship between workplace and residence. The biggest challenge to address the above problem is to design a method that characterizes job-housing proximity and correlates commuting with job-housing proximity …

Using the growth patterns and geochemistry of coralline red algae to develop proxies for paleoclimate reconstruction in tropical and subarctic environments
… were grown in a microcosm experiment to evaluate growth patterns and rates. Previous researchers concluded GOP rhodoliths grew annual bands and formed as a result of temperature and salinity fluctuations associated with upwelling and non-upwelling seasons. Our study shows that the rhodoliths can …

The efficacy of back calculation methods for determining length at age data and the use of such data to determine growth standards, national growth patterns and recruitment dynamics of roach (Rutilus rutilus (L.)), dace (Leuciscus leuciscus (L.)) and chub (Leuciscus cephalus (L.)) in UK rivers
… previous lengths at age and gain age and growth information has long been used as a management tool in fisheries. Calcified structures from fish, including otoliths, fin rays, and vertebrae have been used to gain length at age data. Scales however, are the most common structure used for …

Trajectories of Freshmen Alcohol Consumption: Examining the Influence of Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy
… New statistical procedures, such as latent class growth analysis (LCGA), are now available that are better suited to study behavior change than earlier applied traditional methods such as regression analysis and structural equation modeling. This study aimed to reveal alcohol consumption patterns …
