Shortly after cessation of
linear growth in boys, the overall peripheral GH pulse pattern returns toward pre-pubertal levels so that the concentration profiles in young men are remarkably similar to those in pre-pubertal boys (Martha et al.
04 found in the unconditional
linear growth model, indicating that the inclusion of EI did explain some of the variation within participants.
Although this research clearly and meaningfully applied both a transition matrix model and a multilevel
linear growth model to AAAAS test scores, the generalizations that can be drawn are limited by several factors.
Significant difference in
linear growth parameters in the intervention group could be due to the fact that we used age- and locality-appropriate complementary food-related one-on-one teaching technique, educating the subjects at their own homes, in a study population not financially constrained and with well-spaced teaching sessions.
Specific causative bacterial agents in EE remain unknown, Luby says, but preliminary investigations in Bangladesh found that children with access to better hygiene had fewer intestinal pathogens, lower L:M ratios, less immune stimulation, and better
linear growth.
Ultimately, a quadratic growth model was selected over a
linear growth model for the reasons described below.
When Mundo Novo and Catuai seedlings were subjected to CW, the stem diameter was the only characteristic with
linear growth.
In Bossiella, although
linear growth rate did not vary with frond size (Fig.
However
linear growth difference was significant at every measurement (even with the small numbers at the 2 year visit) and this is generally considered to be a better indicator of appropriate nutrition.
The rIGF-1 treatment accelerates
linear growth velocity, and appropriate dose titrating results in tripling of the baseline growth rate during the first year of treatment (9).
One adverse effect of ICS, however, is that of "decreased
linear growth velocity" (4)--ie, slowing the rate at which children grow.
Over time, all leading offshore providers will use their investment in industrialized services and automation to break their labor-intensive
linear growth path.
