description: This study intends to provide insights into various aspects related to the reaction kinetics of the VOx catalyzed propane dehydrogenation including main and side reactions and, in particular, catalyst deactivation and regeneration, which can be hardly found in combination in current literature. To kinetically describe the complex reaction network, a reduced model was fitted to lab scale experiments performed in a fixed bed reactor. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was applied to investigate the coking behavior of the catalyst under defined conditions considering propane and propene as precursors for coke formation. Propene was identified to be the main coke precursor, which agrees with results of experiments using a segmented fixed bed reactor (FBR). A mechanistic multilayer-monolayer coke growth model was developed to mathematically describe the catalyst coking. Samples from long-term deactivation experiments in an FBR were used for regeneration experiments with oxygen to gasify the coke deposits in a TGA. A power law approach was able to describe the regeneration behavior well. Finally, the results of periodic experiments consisting of several deactivation and regeneration cycles verified the long-term stability of the catalyst and confirmed the validity of the derived and parametrized kinetic models for deactivation and regeneration, which will allow model-based process development and optimization.

description: It is well recognized that regular physical exercise has positive effects on physical and mental health. To use the beneficial health effects of physical exercise, there are worldwide movements encouraging health care providers to include physical exercise in their care and treatments strategies. However, a crucial point in administering the “exercise polypill” is the dosing and, in turn, the prescription of the physical intervention (PI). In this perspective article, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to prescribe PI. In this context, we also highlight outstanding questions and potential areas of opportunity for further investigations.

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: The purpose of this communication is to point out the connection between a 1D quantum Hamiltonian involving the fourth Painleve transcendent P$_{\rm IV}$, obtained in the context of second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics and third-order ladder operators, with a hierarchy of families of quantum systems called $k$-step rational extensions of the harmonic oscillator and related with multi-indexed $X_{m_{1},m_{2},...,m_{k}}$ Hermite exceptionnal orthogonal polynomials of type III. The connection between these exactly solvable models is established at the level of the equivalence of the Hamiltonians using rational solutions of the fourth Painleve equation in terms of generalized Hermite and Okamoto polynomials. We also relate the different ladder operators obtained by various combinations of supersymmetric constructions involving Darboux-Crum and Krein-Adler supercharges, their zero modes and the corresponding energies. These results will demonstrate and clarify the relation observed for a particular case in previous papers.

description: This paper proposes a height-function algorithm to estimate the curvature of two-dimensional curves and three-dimensional surfaces that are defined implicitly on two-and three-dimensional non-uniform Cartesian grids. It relies on the reconstruction of local heights, onto which polynomial height-functions are fitted. The algorithm produces curva-ture estimates of order N−1anywhere in a stencil of (N+1)d−1heights computed from the volume-fraction data available on a d-dimensional non-uniform Cartesian grid. These estimates are of order Nat the centre of the stencil when it is symmetric about its main axis. This is confirmed by a comprehensive convergence analysis conducted on the errors associated with the application of the algorithm to a fabricated test-curve and test-surface.

description: Web 2.0 is beyond a jargon describing technological transformation: it refers to new strategies, tools and techniques that encourage and augment informed, creative and social inter(actions). When considered in an educational context, Web 2.0 provides various opportunities for enhanced integration and for improving the learning processes in information-rich collaborative disciplines such as urban planning and architectural design. The dialogue between the design students and studio teachers can be mediated in various ways by creating novel learning spaces using Web 2.0-based social software and information aggregation services, and brought to a level where the Web 2.0 environment supports, augments and enriches the reflective learning processes. We propose to call this new setting Design Studio 2.0. We suggest that Design Studio 2.0 can provide numerous opportunities which are not fully or easily available in a conventional design studio setting. In this context, we will introduce a web-based geographic virtual environment model (GEO-VEM) and discuss how we reconfigured and rescaled this model with the objective of supporting an international urban design studio by encouraging students to make a collaborative and location-based analysis of a project site (the Brussels-Charleroi Canal). Pursuing the discussion further, we will present our experiences and observations of this design studio including web use statistics, and the results of student attitude surveys. In conclusion, we will reflect the difficulties and challenges of using the GEO-VEM in the Design Studio in a blended learning context and develop future prospects. As a result, we will introduce a set of key criteria for the development and implementation of an effective e-learning environment as a sustainable platform for supporting the Design Studio 2.0.
A Particle on the Edge: A Semantic/Syntactic Analysis of Russian хоть
Creators: name: Bringe, Maya Jerome
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Russian хоть is a colloquial particle whose exact function is difficult to determine. Хоть can be translated as 'at least', 'even', 'although', 'for example', 'as much as' and others, depending on the context. The particle demonstrates unusual semantic and syntactic properties that conventional approaches are unable to fully explain. Viewing хоть as having a symbolic role that combines its syntactic and semantic features allows a more unified picture. The particle identifies a situation as marginal to a construed prototype in a speaker's mental space. This role operates within four general contexts: An axiological context, a context of knowledge and perception, a context of logical possibility, and an exemplary context. This symbolic role gives a unified meaning of the particle - an indicator of a marginal situation with respect to a construed norm. It is this symbolic approach that gives the most insight into a speaker's use of the word.

description: Chronic low-back pain is a major individual, social, and economic burden. The impairment ranges from deterioration of gait, limited mobility, to psychosocial distress. Due to this complexity, the demand for multimodal treatments is huge. Our purpose is to compare the effects of a multimodal movement intervention (MI) (coordinative–cognitive exercises and dancing program) with standard physical therapy (PT) on gait, physical function, and quality of life in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The study design is based on a 6-week intervention with a two (group: MI/PT) by two (measurement time points: pre-/post-test) parallel group design with random assignment. Twenty-four subjects (18 female/6 male, 70.8 ± 10.6 years old) diagnosed with LSS were included and randomly allocated to the MI or PT group. The primary outcomes are minimum toe clearance (MTC) and double step length (DSL) variability and the Timed “Up & Go” test (TUG). Secondary outcomes are the Brief Pain Inventory, the short Fall Efficacy Scale–International (sFES-I), and the Oswestry Disability Index. Nine subjects for each group could be analyzed. The MTC variability revealed a significant between-group difference in the posttest (p = 0.008) showing a lower MTC variability for the MI compared to the PT group. The MI group displayed an improved TUG (p = 0.031) and a reduced sFES-I (p = 0.044). The decreased MTC variability and fear of falling as well as the improved functional mobility may contribute to a reduced risk of falling. For the subsequent study, further kinematic and cognitive parameters should be analyzed, and the number of participants has to be increased.

description: This deliverable pertains to task 9.3, which is dedicated to the establishment of data standards for SARS-CoV-2 variants and lineages. It plays a crucial role in the development of a network of specialised data experts in SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance, contributing to the objectives of WP1 and WP8. Furthermore, it aligns with WP2, focusing on training and capacity building initiatives. The accomplished work encompasses a workshop centred around the Fair Data Point concept, exploring its potential in advancing the goals of WP9. Additionally, a workshop addressing SARS-CoV-2 data standards was conducted, covering essential aspects such as metadata standards and variant/lineage nomenclature. A dedicated data standards task force was formed, which conducted a comprehensive survey to gauge the adoption of the proposed standards among participating countries within CONVERGE WP9. Furthermore, a separate task force dedicated to pathogen genomics data management collaborated with other projects, contributing to the development of valuable resources aimed at facilitating efficient data sharing. Overall, these endeavours represent significant progress in the establishment of robust data standards and effective data management practices within the project, ultimately contributing to enhanced genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. Regarding variant and lineage nomenclature, Nextclade and Pangolin are widely adopted tools for variant classification. Integrating both tools in a comprehensive data hub allows for a thorough understanding of the genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2. The data standards task force compared the metadata requirements of GISAID, ENA, and PHA4GE, revealing differences in the number and specificity of fields. The comparison showed that PHA4GE had the most comprehensive set of fields, while GISAID and ENA had unique fields specific to their databases. Harmonising metadata specifications and promoting interoperability remain essential challenges. The survey on metadata availability and public accessibility highlighted disparities among countries, emphasising the need for standardised metadata across the network.

Retainability of canonical distributions for a Brownian particle controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The retainability of canonical distributions for a Brownian particle controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential is investigated in the overdamped and underdamped situations, respectively. Because of different time scales, the overdamped and underdamped Langevin equations (as well as the corresponding Fokker-Planck equations) lead to distinctive restrictions on protocols maintaining canonical distributions. Two special cases are analyzed in details: First, a Brownian particle is controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential and embedded in medium with constant temperature; Second, a Brownian particle is controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential and embedded in a medium whose temperature is tuned together with the potential stiffness to keep a constant effective temperature of the Brownian particle. We find that the canonical distributions are usually retainable for both the overdamped and underdamped situations in the former case. However, the canonical distributions are retainable merely for the overdamped situation in the latter case. We also investigate general time-dependent potentials beyond the harmonic form and find that the retainability of canonical distributions depends sensitively on the specific form of potentials.

description: Since the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), a great deal of research has been conducted in various countries into the dynamics and risks associated with house prices in an attempt to find innovative ways of reducing these risks and resuscitating a depressed housing market. This dissertation contributes to that literature by providing comprehensive analyses of the spatial diffusion and risks associated with house prices in the Netherlands. It also studies the efficiency and loss coverage of home-value insurance in the context of the Dutch housing market and suggests modifications to the index-based insurance scheme that would minimise the residual idiosyncratic risks for home-owners. The dissertation innovatively adopts empirical methods that combine standard statistical analyses with more complex and recent econometric models. The contributions of the dissertation are presented in five main chapters. Four of these chapters have already been published separately in international journals and one is under review. Chapter 2 provided a general overview of the Dutch housing market and the risks involved in home-ownership. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 were devoted to the diffusion mechanism of house prices in the Netherlands. Chapter 5 also dealt in part with house price risks, while Chapter 6 focused on the house price risks and home-value insurance. Each chapter has provided a detailed conclusion on each aspect of the research questions addressed in this dissertation. This concluding chapter summarises the main findings of the dissertation as a whole. The limitations of the analyses are discussed, together with potential applications for its findings and directions for further research.

description: Cardiovascular exercise (CE) is an evidence-based healthy lifestyle strategy. Yet, little is known about its effects on brain and cognition in young adults. Furthermore, evidence supporting a causal path linking CE to human cognitive performance via neuroplasticity is currently lacking. To understand the brain networks that mediate the CE–cognition relationship, we conducted a longitudinal, controlled trial with healthy human participants to compare the effects of a 2–week CE intervention against a non-CE control group on cognitive performance. Concomitantly, we used structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural mechanisms mediating between CE and cognition. On the behavioral level, we found that CE improved sustained attention, but not processing speed or short-term memory. Using graph theoretical measures and statistical mediation analysis, we found that a localized increase in eigenvector centrality in the left middle frontal gyrus, probably reflecting changes within an attention-related network, conveyed the effect of CE on cognition. Finally, we found CE-induced changes in white matter microstructure that correlated with intrinsic connectivity changes (intermodal correlation). These results suggest that CE is a promising intervention strategy to improve sustained attention via brain plasticity in young, healthy adults.
Sibling Conflict and Prosocial Behavior in Middle Childhood

description: The authors examined the relation between sibling conflict and prosocial behavior in 1st and 2nd graders, considering other aspects of the family context and child-level characteristics. The sample included 654 families predominantly from low-income, rural communities, almost half of whom were African American. Using hierarchical regression analyses, the authors tested for independent effects of maternal sensitivity, child inhibitory control, and sibling conflict on children’s prosociality controlling for demographic, maternal, and child variables. Maternal sensitivity, child inhibitory control, and sibling conflict each made an independent contribution to the prediction of prosocial behaviors – high maternal sensitivity and high inhibitory control were both associated with high prosocial behavior, while high sibling conflict was associated with lower prosocial behavior. The results are discussed with regards to the strong longitudinal study design, diverse sample, and extensive use of controls, and implications are discussed in a family systems framework regarding siblings’ unique influences on child outcomes.

description: The fusion of Cloud and IoT technologies, bolstered by innovations like intelligent devices, federated AI systems, and smart networks, has given rise to the computing continuum. This continuum showcases the interplay between various technologies. LEADS, in collaboration with the EU Cloud-Edge-IoT Initiative via the UNLOCK-CEI project, explored the connection between CEI use cases and the digital skills needed for their utilisation. Europe faces a skills gap in its economy, with advanced digital technologies being pivotal for growth. Addressing this skills deficit is vital for the adoption of next-gen technologies. LEADS' research indicates a growing demand for Advanced Digital Skills (ADS), especially in AI and Data Science, emphasising the urgency for skill development investments. While nearly 28.5% of Higher Education Institution courses fall under ADS, there's a need for policy interventions to bridge the skill supply-demand gap. The evolving tech landscape, marked by the rise of edge computing, necessitates reevaluating future skill requirements in the digital realm.
Euler-Lagrange modelling of dilute particle-laden flows with arbitrary particle-size to mesh-spacing ratio

description: This paper addresses the two-way coupled Euler-Lagrange modelling of dilute particle-laden flows, with arbitrary particle-size to mesh-spacing ratio. Two-way coupled Euler-Lagrange methods classically require particles to be much smaller than the computational mesh cells for them to be accurately tracked. Particles that do not satisfy this requirement can be considered by introducing a source term regularisation operator that typically consists in convoluting the point-wise particle momentum sources with a smooth kernel. Particles that are larger than the mesh cells, however, generate a significant local flow disturbance, which, in turn, results in poor estimates of the fluid forces acting on them. To circumvent this issue, this paper proposes a new framework to recover the local undisturbed velocity at the location of a given particle, that is the local flow velocity from which the disturbance due to the presence of the particle is subtracted. It relies upon the solution of the Stokes flow through a regularised momentum source and is extended to finite Reynolds numbers based on the Oseen flow solution. Owing to the polynomial nature of the regularisation kernel considered in this paper, a correction for the averaged local flow disturbance can be analytically derived, allowing to filter out scales of the flow motion that are smaller than the particle, which should not be taken into account to compute the interaction/drag forces acting on the particle. The proposed correction scheme is applied to the simulation of a particle settling under the influence of gravity, for varying particle-size to mesh-spacing ratios and varying Reynolds numbers. The method is shown to nearly eliminate any impact of the underlying mesh resolution on the modelling of a particle's trajectory. Finally, optimal values for the scale of the regularisation kernel are provided and their impact on the flow is discussed.

description: This thesis presents a real-time multi-face tracking system, which is able to track multiple faces for live videos, broadcast, real-time conference recording, etc. The real-time output is one of the most significant advantages. Our proposed tracking system is comprised of three parts: face detection, feature extraction and tracking. We deploy a three-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to detect a face, a one-layer CNN to extract the features of a detected face and a shallow network for face tracking based on the extracted feature maps of the face. The performance of our multi-face tracking system enables the tracker to run in real-time without any on-line training. This algorithm does not need to change any parameters according to different input video conditions, and the runtime cost will not be affected significantly by an the increase in the number of faces being tracked. In addition, our proposed tracker can overcome most of the generally difficult tracking conditions which include video containing a camera cut, face occlusion, false positive face detection, false negative face detection, e.g. due to faces at the image boundary or faces shown in profile. We use two commonly used metrics to evaluate the performance of our multi-face tracking system demonstrating that our system achieves accurate results. Our multi-face tracker achieves an average runtime cost around 0.035s with GPU acceleration and this runtime cost is close to stable even if the number of tracked faces increases. All the evaluation results and comparisons are tested with four commonly used video data sets.

These findings allow a future development of an intuitiveHuman-Robot interaction system with high user acceptance.
Landscapes of terror in-between hope and memory: politics, ethics and practices of cultural memory in the Pacific Coast of Colombia
Creators: name: Cortes Severino, Catalina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This thesis starts with the following questions: why is it important today to talk, write and think about memory in contexts of violence? Why is it crucial within the practices of everyday life, for the creation of identities and the construction of the future? How can we understand the importance of the politics and ethics of memory in contexts where the violence operates in different levels of everyday life? I began to raise these questions after exploring these issues in the last year with the Process of Black Communities (PCN) of the Pacific Coast in Colombia. I explored through my documentary practice and research the implementation of truth, justice and reparation for their communities by connecting present struggles with the historical memory of slave trade. Hence, my work explores the articulations between politics, cultural memory and violence that are established through the practice of this social movement in contemporary Colombia.

description: Chronic tinnitus, the perception of a phantom sound in the absence of corresponding stimulus, is a condition known to affect patients’ quality of life. Recent advances in mHealth have enabled patients to maintain a ‘disease journal’ of ecologically-valid momentary assessments, improving patients’ own awareness of their disease while also providing clinicians valuable data for research. In this study, we investigate the effect of non-personalised tips on patients’ perception of tinnitus, and on their continued use of the application. The data collected from the study involved three groups of patients that used the app for 16 weeks. Groups A & Y were exposed to feedback from the start of the study, while group B only received tips for the second half of the study. Groups A and Y were run by different supervisors and also differed in the number of hospital visits during the study. Users of Group A and B underwent assessment at baseline, mid-study, post-study and follow-up, while users of group Y were only assessed at baseline and post-study. It is seen that the users in group B use the app for longer, and also more often during the day. The answers of the users to the Ecological Momentary Assessments are seen to form clusters where the degree to which the tinnitus distress depends on tinnitus loudness varies. Additionally, cluster-level models were able to predict new unseen data with better accuracy than a single global model. This strengthens the argument that the discovered clusters really do reflect underlying patterns in disease expression.

description: Organic semiconductors (OSCs), compared to the more traditional silicon, are enticing materials for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices (e.g., transistors, photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes) due notably to the lower cost associated with their preparation and purification, as well as their increased solubility in solvents which can accommodate large-scale fabrication. However, a higher degree of molecular disorder typically results in lower performance than silicon and remains an issue to be adressed. As the structure of an OSC is crucial to its performance, understanding the nature of this structure-property relationship is key to further the field of OSCs. In this regard, this thesis explores the optoelectronic properties of different π-conjugated organic frameworks which incorporate sulphur and nitrogen atoms along the rigid conjugated backbone for their desirable impacts on charge mobilities and stability. After a brief review of both small-molecule OSCs as well as key experimental techniques employed in the course of this work, chapter three covers the synthesis and characterization of dithiatetrazocines (DTTA), electron-deficient sulphur-nitrogen heterocycles, which were functionalized with various (oligo)thienyls pendants. The impact of both the substitution patterns and the degree of conjugation on the optoelectronic and solid-state properties of the ring system was investigated. The fourth chapter expands on previous work from the Brusso group that focused on extending the 2D conjugation of tetrathienoanthracene. While oligothienyls were previously shown to effectively increase the degree of conjugation, little to no change in device performance were observed, which was ascribed to disorder of the rotatable pendants. Here, rigid thieno[3,2-b]thiophene was used instead to increase both the degree of conjugation while maintaining structural rigidity, as assessed by optical, electrochemical and theoretical studies. The fifth chapter introduces preliminary work toward expanding the electron-deficient hexaazatrinaphtylene core with thiophene rings. The resulting concentric donor-acceptor structure promotes luminescent behavior with pronounced emission solvatochromism. Optical measurements were performed before and after intramolecular cyclization of the thiophene rings, to study the impact of aromatization on the optoelectronic properties of the system.

description: Purpose: Risk in home-ownership from mortgage providers’ perspectives within the euro zone has received more attention than individual home owner’s perspectives in the literature following the financial crisis in 2007/2008. The purpose of this paper is to explore the risk factors in home-ownership from the individual household’s perspectives within the owner-occupied housing sector of the Netherlands. Design/methodology/approach: The paper adopted a broader review of extant literature on the different concepts and views on risk in home-ownership. These concepts are unified into a framework that enhances our understanding of the perceived sophisticated risk within the owner-occupied sector in the Netherlands. Findings: From the perspective of the home owner, two main types of risks were identified: mortgage default and property price risk. The paper has unearthed a quantum number of factors which underline the above risks. The mortgage default risk factors include the initial amount of mortgage loan taken out, the future housing expenses and the income development of the owner-occupier. Family disintegration is also identified as one of the main causes of mortgage default in the Netherlands. Property price risk is influenced by income, interest rates and conditions in the social and private rental sectors. Research limitations/implications: Findings of the paper are based on review of the extant literature in the context of the Dutch housing market. Possible rigorous situational analysis using other tools are recommended for further research. Originality/value: This paper contributes to the much needed body of knowledge in the owner-occupied sector and provides a better understanding of risk in home ownership from the individual perspectives.

description: La population mondiale est exposée à un nombre croissant de perturbateurs endocriniens, le Bisphénol-A (BPA) étant un des plus connus. Ce dernier, synthétisé en 1891 à partir du caoutchouc, a de nombreux avantages, y compris la résistance au choc. Les humains absorbent du BPA via des aliments emballés dans des matières plastiques, cette substance étant libéré en concentration plus grande lors de réchauffement d’aliments dans des récipients en plastique (Santé Canada, 2013). Parmi de nombreux effets, le BPA affecte le fonctionnement de l’hypophyse, qui régule la sécrétion de la testostérone et de l'oxytocine. Sa consommation est associée à une réduction du poids et de la taille de l'épididyme et de la sécrétion hormonale masculine. Toutefois, les résultats des études semblent dépendants de différentes variables qui influencent les effets du BPA. Ce travail de recherche propose un examen systématique de la littérature scientifique évaluant l’ensemble des études reliées à ce sujet spécifique (Moher, 2001). Aucun examen systématique n'existe concernant l’impact du BPA sur la régulation hormonale (Testostérone et Oxytocine) au niveau des études précliniques effectuées chez les rats mâles et femelles. Le but principal de notre analyse narrative permettra de combler cette lacune en mettant à jour les données et informations scientifiques récoltées via des critères établis, permettant un examen rigoureux des doses et intervalles de l’administration du BPA perturbant ou non les deux hormones concernées aux trois stades de développement ciblés soit les stades gestationnel/périnatal, postnatal/juvénile et adulte.

description: Following the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis, there have been a growing research interest on the spatial interrelationships between house prices in many countries. This paper examines the spatio-temporal relationship between house prices in the twelve provinces of the Netherlands using a recently proposed econometric modelling technique called Bayesian graphical vector autoregression (BG-VAR). This network approach enables a data driven identification of the most dominant provinces where house price shocks may largely diffuse through the housing market and it is suitable for analysing the complex spatial interactions between house prices. Using temporal house price volatilities for owner-occupied dwellings, the results show evidence of house price diffusion pattern in distinct sub-periods from different provincial housing sub-markets in the Netherlands. We observed particularly prior to the crisis, diffusion of temporal house price volatilities from Noord-Holland.

description: The main aim of this paper is to discuss how the combination of Web 2.0, social media and geographic technologies can provide opportunities for learning and new forms of participation in an urban design studio. This discussion is mainly based on our recent findings from two experimental urban design studio setups as well as former research and literature studies. In brief, the web platform enabled us to extend the learning that took place in the design studio beyond the studio hours, to represent the design information in novel ways and allocate multiple communication forms. We found that the student activity in the introduced web platform was related to their progress up to a certain extent. Moreover, the students perceived the platform as a convenient medium and addressed it as a valuable resource for learning. This study should be conceived as a continuation of a series of our Design Studio 2.0 experiments which involve the exploitation of opportunities provided by novel socio-geographic information and communication technologies for the improvement of the design learning processes.

description: The purpose of this pilot study was to describe outcomes in preadolescent maxillary deficient patients treated with a novel technique for maxillary protraction using temporary anchorage devices (TADs). The study was comprised of three sections: 1) comparison of outcomes in 2D to existing reverse pull headgear (RPHG) literature, 2) description of outcomes in 3D from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data, and 3) assessment of inter-examiner reliability for the 3D analytic method. Outcomes were assessed for six consecutively completed cases. Maxillary protraction of varying degrees was observed in all cases with minimal dentoalveolar compensation. The magnitude of skeletal changes observed were generally comparable to that which has been reported in the RPHG literature. The 3D analytic method was helpful in describing change over time in growing patients and the inter-examiner reliability of the analysis method was good.
