Śrīkhṛṣṭa-saṃgītā : William Hodge Mill’s Sanskrit Christian Purāṇa

In the wake of Christian missionaries’ arrival in India, a profound engagement with Sanskrit ensued, resulting in the emergence of ‘Church Sanskrit’ Literature. This genre not only witnessed translations of sacred texts like the Bible but also spawned original compositions centered on Jesus Christ, serving as a vehicle for propagating the Christian faith among the Sanskrit-knowing intelligentsia. Notably, figures like William Hodge Mill played a pivotal role, crafting monumental works such as the Śrīkhṛṣṭa-saṃgītā, which garnered acclaim for its literary and scholarly merits, transcending even revered indologists of the time. His mastery of Sanskrit reached such extraordinary heights that Kamlākānta Vidyālaṅkār, a prominent Bengali scholar, bestowed upon him unprecedented praise, elevating him above esteemed figures like William Jones, William Carey, and James Colebrooke. Vidyālaṅkār’s proclamation likened him to the rebirth of Kālidāsa, the revered ancient poet, affirming the unparalleled excellence of his Sanskrit scholarship. Meanwhile, the Śrīkhṛṣṭa-saṃgītā, while serving as a historical testament to the life of Jesus Christ, transcends mere documentation. Rooted in Western interpretations of the Gospels, it stands as a literary masterpiece, blending historical narrative with artistic expression in a manner reminiscent of the belletristic tradition. The research paper discusses the unique attributes of the Śrīkhṛṣṭa-saṃgītā through the lens of Sanskrit Poetics, exploring its historical narrative while elucidating its impact on nineteenth-century Indian society. Through meticulous analysis, it seeks to unravel the interplay between literary artistry and historical accuracy in this seminal work, shedding light on the cultural and intellectual landscape shaped by ‘Church Sanskrit’ literature. By synthesizing scholarly inquiry with linguistic and literary expertise, this paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the profound influence of Christian narratives in Sanskrit form on the socio-cultural fabric of colonial India.

Mapping the Mountains of Giants: Anthropometric Data from the Western Balkans Reveal a Nucleus of Extraordinary Physical Stature in Europe.

Simple SummaryThe exceptional height of people from the karst area of the Dinaric mountain range has fascinated anthropologists since the end of the 19th century. However, after World War II, little information was available and new representative data started to be collected only at the beginning of the 21st century. Our present work is the most comprehensive summary of the regional differences in body height on the territory of the former Yugoslavia and Albania, and discusses the possible causes of the extraordinary body size of the local population.The inhabitants of the Dinaric Alps (former Yugoslavia and Albania) have long been known as people of impressive body height, but after World War II, there was a critical lack of data related to this phenomenon. This anthropological synthesis includes the measurements of 47,158 individuals (24,642 males and 22,516 females) from the period 2010–2018 and describes detailed regional differences in male stature in the Western Balkans. According to these data, young men from Montenegro (182.9 cm) are currently the tallest 18-year-olds in the world, surpassing their Dutch peers (182.4 cm), and 18-year-old boys from Dalmatia are even taller (183.7 cm) at a regional level. A continuous belt of extraordinary height means (>184 cm) stretches from the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia through Herzegovina to the central part of Montenegro. This article summarizes all the key socio-economic, nutritional, and genetic data, and offers possible explanations for this anthropological phenomenon. Since the remarkable height of the Dinaric populations cannot be connected with any commonly known environmental factor, the most probable hypothesis is genetic and links these physical characteristics with the local founder effect of Y haplogroup I-M170. Furthermore, given that both the level of socio-economic development and dietary protein quality are still sub-optimal, the local upward trend in body height has the potential to continue in the future.

Embodied philanthropy and Sir Captain Tom Moore's “Walk for the NHS”

AbstractRecent decades have witnessed growing popularity in embodied philanthropy, where participants undertake various types of publicly displayed bodily labour in support of their respective causes. The fundraising potential of such efforts reached extraordinary heights during Sir Captain Thomas Moore's “Walk for the National Health Service,” wherein the 99‐year‐old World War II veteran walked laps of his garden to raise funds during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Within less than a month “Captain Tom” raised over £30 million, the highest amount ever by an individual charity walker. To better understand the social and cultural drivers behind Moore's incredible popularity this article applies Julie Robert's theoretical framework of embodied philanthropy, exploring the multivalent semiotic potential that Moore radiated through his age, disability, military adornments, Yorkshire grit, and unfailingly positive, aphoristic style of speaking. During a time of global crisis, this distinct array of bodily affordances enabled Captain Tom to simultaneously serve as an honest broker, teacher, exemplar, rallying figure, and ultimately martyr. Such practices of sacrificial citizenship, however, raise troubling questions, particularly in relation to expectations that fellow citizens should likewise stoically uphold civic‐minded resilience during times of crisis. Furthermore, while the potential benefits can prove extraordinarily impactful, organizations should exercise care in too readily attaching themselves to particular causes, lest they become complicit in contentious agendas or even inadvertently mislead donors.

Interventions: An Interview with C. Dale Young by Frederick Luis Aldama

InterventionsAn Interview with C. Dale Young by Frederick Luis Aldama Frederick Luis Aldama Click for larger view View full resolution An M. D. and award-winning poet, fiction author, editor and teacher, C. Dale Young stands among our greats: Avicenna, John Keats, Anton Chekhov, Nawal El Saadawi, Atul Gawande, Rafael Campo, and, of course, William Carlos Williams. Like Williams, C. Dale is mixed Latinx. Like Williams, C. Dale seeks a unity of poetic effect built in and through objects and actions, more than ideas. Through masterful calibrations of sounds and rhythms as well as lyric with narrative form, his poems guide and glide us into rich textures of place and the alpha to omega of a Whitmanian expansive existence. Already at an early age C. Dale cultivated a passion for the arts and sciences. He would later parlay this into undergraduate studies of molecular biology, poetry, and studio art at Boston College. Our twenty-first-century renaissance man, C. Dale deepened his knowledge in these areas, receiving an MFA and MD from the University of Florida. Today, C. Dale writes, publishes, practices medicine, and teaches future generations of MFAs. With Prometeo (2021), C. Dale adds to his extraordinary body of work, including, The Day Underneath the Day (2001); The Second Person (2007), Torn (2011), The Halo (2016), and Affliction (2018). Gentle, graceful, and drop-of-pen attentive, C. Dale Young recently shared with me deep insights into his creative process, worldview, and life. Frederick Luis Aldama: It’s been too long, C. Dale, since our last interview. And now with the dropping of Prometeo, yet again you’ve taken the poetic form to new extraordinary heights. There’s so much that resonates with your earlier work, and yet you take me, my heart, and my head to a whole new place. All the poems work so beautifully together. Did you conceive of Prometeo as an organic whole? C. Dale Young: I wish I could say that that’s how it worked. But that’s never how it’s worked for any of my books. I honestly never have any sense of a book until I’m almost two-thirds through writing the poems. I have this kind of joke that if I knew what the book was going to be, I would then ruin all the poems. That I would start trying to tailor the poems and it would be disastrous. I think part of the reason that a lot of my books feel coherent is that I’m an obsessive-compulsive person. I tend to come back at things over and over, trying to understand them in different ways. That’s what holds a lot of the books together. I didn’t appreciate how much Prometeo was in conversation with other books of mine until I got the very first copy and sat down and read it. I was surprised. I discovered a lot of linkages between these poems and earlier poems. I wrote the first of these poems in 2013. And I think I wrote the last of the poems in late 2018, almost 2019. And I think it was around 2017 that I had a sense of the book. FLA: You’ve chosen to publish Prometeo and other collections with the Four Way Press. Why? CDY: It’s partly technical and legal. My very first book, The Day Underneath the Day, was published by Northwestern University Press. They did not have a right of first refusal. When I approached them with the second book, The Second Person, they never rejected it, but it just kind of sat there; the editor that I had had left the press, and there wasn’t really a poetry editor at that time. The book was picked up by Zoo Press. It was supposed to appear at the AWP 2015 in Vancouver. I arrived and there was no table from Zoo Press. It was April 1st, so I thought it was an amazing April Fool’s joke. In fact, there was a big scandal. The director of Zoo Press had taken all the money. They never published the book. I was teaching at Warren Wilson, and Martha Rhodes, the director of...

Growth and Anatomical Responses of Gogo Rice Plant (Oryza sativa L.) Var. Inpago Unsoed 1 to Paclobutrazol Application

The improvement of gogo rice production in dryland is constrained by its extraordinary height, which leads to falling, and its long lifespan. The shorter gogo rice plant can be obtained through growth inhibition using paclobutrazol. Gogo rice plant var. Inpago Unsoed 1 was used during the study. An experimental study was performed using factorial completely randomized design. The main factor was four paclobutrazol concentrations (0,100, 200, and 300 ppm). The sub-main factor was paclobutrazol application time after planting (three, four, and five weeks). The results showed that the interaction between paclobutrazol concentration and application time was highly significantly affecting plant height. The most appropriate treatment resulting in optimum plant height was the combination of 100 ppm paclobutrazol applied four weeks after planting. Interaction between paclobutrazol concentration and application time also significantly affect stem diameter, leaf width, and stomata number in the lower leaf epidermis. However, there was no significant effect of paclobutrazol observed on stomata size. The significant result of the combination of paclobutrazol concentration and the application time was also supporting tissue thickness. The thickest tissue was obtained by 300 ppm of paclobutrazol applied five weeks after plantation.

Jumping dynamics of aquatic animals.

Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions required for an animal to jump out of water. More than 100 jumps are analysed over five taxonomic groups. By balancing the power produced by animals with drag-induced dissipation, we expect that maximum jumping height, H, scales with body length, L, as H/ L ∼ L-1/3 ∼ Fr2, where the Froude number, Fr, is a ratio of inertia to gravity. To identify jumping regimes, simplified experiments are conducted by shooting axisymmetric bodies through the water surface. Here, we see a transition in which partial exits scale as H/ L ∼ Fr and complete exits scale as H/ L ∼ Fr2. A bioinspired robotic flapping mechanism was designed to mimic the fast motion of impulsive jumping animals. When exiting water, the robot carries a large volume of fluid referred to as an entrained mass. A theoretical model is developed to predict the jumping height of various water-exiting bodies, which shows that the mass of the entrained fluid relative to the mass of the body limits the maximum jumping height. We conclude that the lack of entrained fluid allows animals to reach extraordinary heights compared to our water-exiting robots.

Fracture and Fatigue Design of the Wilshire Grand Tower

The 1,100-foot Wilshire Grand Tower in Los Angeles owned by the Hanjin Group is the tallest building in the United States west of Chicago. The building, whose architect is AC Martin Inc., has a slender elevation in one direction, necessitating the use of heavy steel box columns filled with concrete on the perimeter, connected to the concrete core with outrigger trusses. The building has a slender, 272-ft-tall spire, also constructed from steel plates. The height and slenderness of the tower, as well as the spire, and its location in a seismically active zone motivated comprehensive analysis to mitigate the risk of steel fracture within a performance-based design framework. This analysis includes the following components: (1) development of acceptance criteria for earthquake-induced fracture, especially when it may follow years of wind-induced fatigue crack growth; (2) wind tunnel testing; (3) linear and nonlinear time-history simulations to determine stress demands in critical components under appropriate wind and seismic hazards; and (4) fracture mechanics simulations to characterize trade-offs among various design variables to meet the acceptance criteria. The analysis indicates that wind-induced oscillations have the potential to grow fatigue cracks in some components, affecting their performance during a subsequent maximum considered earthquake. This situation is unusual for steel buildings, being the result of the extraordinary height, geometry, heavy steel members, and location of this particular building. The analysis also indicates that fracture risk may be successfully mitigated through existing design and detailing approaches and acceptance criteria, along with use of steel material exhibiting high, but commercially available and affordable, specified Charpy V-notch toughness values.

The Catholic Church in Ireland Today

Studies • volume 106 • number 421 9 The Catholic Church in Ireland Today The Catholic Church in Ireland Today1 Gerry O’Hanlon SJ In the middle of summer 2016, commenting on a controversy surrounding Ireland’s national seminary, St Patrick’s College Maynooth, the country’s leading broadsheet, The Irish Times, had this to say in an editorial: The Maynooth controversy would once have given rise to major public disquiet. That it no longer does so reflects the Church’s recent history. Many Catholics have long since abandoned the institution – its princes, priests and politics – and are choosing to interpret the faith according to their own conscience.2 Coincidentally, earlier in the same year, an academic study in the field of the sociology of religion was published with the title Transforming PostCatholic Ireland.3 The author, Gladys Ganiel, in explaining her choice of title, refers explicitly to an article written by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin in 2013 titled ‘A post-Catholic Ireland?: Renewing the Irish Church from within’.4 Ganiel defines a post-Catholic Ireland in terms of ‘a shift in consciousness in which the Catholic Church, as an institution, is no longer held in high esteem by most of the population and can no longer expect to exert a monopoly influence in social and political life’.5 She argues that the future of faith in Ireland will depend on the development of ‘extra-institutional’ forms of religious expression (religion practised outside or in addition to the institutional Catholic Church).6 Her analysis ties in with the frequently observed characteristic of modern Catholicism in Ireland – and indeed further afield – as becoming individualised and de-institutionalised. With the new emphasis on personal conscience as opposed to magisterial teaching, this is sometimes referred to as the ‘Protestantisation’of the Catholic Church in Ireland. Dr Martin himself has spoken and written frequently about the crisis confronting the Irish Catholic Church, warning that it ran the risk of becoming an ‘irrelevant minority culture’.7 I propose in what follows to describe briefly some of the background to this crisis and then to suggest some ways forward. 10 Studies • volume 106 • number 421 Gerry O’Hanlon SJ Background to the crisis ThetraditionalCatholicismwhichisnowbeingsupersededinIrelandhadmany distinguishing features.8 It was a defining characteristic of Irish nationalism and identity, with ‘a monopoly on the Irish religious market’, a strong relationship with state power, elevating the status of cleric to extraordinary heights and emphasising the evils of sexual sin.9 This was Catholicism with high levels of religious practice, a stress on rule-keeping and sin, a strong ethos of sacrifice and delayed gratification, a familiarity with austerity and a hope for fulfilment in the after-life. It was characterised by a deep popular devotion featuring the likes of the rosary, benediction, sodalities, indulgences and processions. It provided comfort and fuelled the spiritual and ethical imaginations of its adherents, and had a deeply committed, global missionary outreach. However, its un- and even anti-intellectual nature meant that it was ill-prepared for the challenges posed by a late-emerging modernity in Ireland. It was a religion in which the voice of the priest, the bishop, and the Pope could rely on its formal authority to get a serious hearing, not just from the faithful, but also from the politician. A paternalistic ethos reigned and was almost universally accepted. Apart from the popular devotion already mentioned, this was Catholicism deeply institutional in form, dependent on a type of clericalism which was vulnerable to a more critical culture. From the 1960s onwards this more critical culture emerged in Ireland. The influence of television and other media, economic development and increased urbanisation, foreign travel, EEC membership and enhanced educational opportunities all conspired to open Ireland up to the waves of critical questioning and secularisation already well advanced in many other parts of Europe. Internally, the Church was at best lukewarm in its reception of the Second Vatican Council – there was liturgical change which was received for the most part positively, some increased lay involvement, not least in various episcopal commissions established in the wake of the Council, and a real energy around some issues of social justice (not least in the establishment of...

A novel risk assessment method for landfill slope failure: Case study application for Bhalswa Dumpsite, India.

Rapid population growth of major urban centres in many developing countries has created massive landfills with extraordinary heights and steep side-slopes, which are frequently surrounded by illegal low-income residential settlements developed too close to landfills. These extraordinary landfills are facing high risks of catastrophic failure with potentially large numbers of fatalities. This study presents a novel method for risk assessment of landfill slope failure, using probabilistic analysis of potential failure scenarios and associated fatalities. The conceptual framework of the method includes selecting appropriate statistical distributions for the municipal solid waste (MSW) material shear strength and rheological properties for potential failure scenario analysis. The MSW material properties for a given scenario is then used to analyse the probability of slope failure and the resulting run-out length to calculate the potential risk of fatalities. In comparison with existing methods, which are solely based on the probability of slope failure, this method provides a more accurate estimate of the risk of fatalities associated with a given landfill slope failure. The application of the new risk assessment method is demonstrated with a case study for a landfill located within a heavily populated area of New Delhi, India.

Il Tempo del Desiderio e della Metamorfosi nel giovane Bernini

The Berninian poetics are expressed through the modulation of surfaces, the sense of metamorphosis and psychological introspection, also investigating movement and measure of time : the pebble-dice in Apollo and Daphne dialogues with the icosahedron stone thrown by David. Borghesian sculptures are agitated by twists and turns of various nature, in order to simulate a painful breath and even tears. Figures translate the meaning of "fleeting beauty" and sometimes even the movement of lips can be read... The representation of loving desire through carnal looks and contacts reaches extraordinary heights. The artist, like in the myth of Pygmalion, seems overwhelmed by love for one’s own marble creatures which then acquire carnality and life warmth.

Thermal entanglement and sharp specific-heat peak in an exactly solved spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg ladder with alternating Ising and Heisenberg inter–leg couplings

The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg two-leg ladder accounting for alternating Ising and Heisenberg inter-leg couplings in addition to the Ising intra-leg coupling is rigorously mapped onto to a mixed spin-(3/2,1/2) Ising-Heisenberg diamond chain with the nodal Ising spins $S=3/2$ and the interstitial spin-1/2 Heisenberg dimers. The latter effective model with higher-order interactions between the nodal and interstitial spins is subsequently exactly solved within the transfer-matrix method. The model under investigation exhibits five different ground states: ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, superantiferromagnetic and two types of frustrated ground states with a non-zero residual entropy. A detailed study of thermodynamic properties reveals an anomalous specific-heat peak at low enough temperatures, which is strongly reminiscent because of its extraordinary height and sharpness to an anomaly accompanying a phase transition. It is convincingly evidenced, however, that the anomalous peak in the specific heat is finite and it comes from vigorous thermal excitations from a two-fold degenerate ground state towards a macroscopically degenerate excited state. Thermal entanglement between the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spins is also comprehensively explored by taking advantage of the concurrence. The threshold temperature delimiting a boundary between the entangled and disentangled parameter space may show presence of a peculiar temperature reentrance.

Lidar Detection of the Ten Tallest Trees in the Tennessee Portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

AbstractThis paper describes a method for predicting the locations and heights of the ten tallest trees in the Tennessee portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Iterative computation tools were utilized to process the data along with the lidarderived bare earth digital elevation models and digital surface models to create canopy height models for the Tennessee portion of the park. A height threshold of 51.8 meters was chosen as the minimum value for a tree of extraordinary height. Ten potential sites containing tall trees were identified using this methodology, and seven of the top ten ranking trees’ heights were field measured using accepted forestry methodology. The trees detected using these methods are potentially the tallest trees ever measured on the East Coast of the United States. These methods show that unique tall trees can be successfully detected in a large, heterogeneous forest area using lidar data.

THE HISTORIC KURIT DAM: AN ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE OF WATER WISDOM

ABSTRACTThe historic Kurit Dam near Tabas, Iran, has regulated the Kurit River for irrigation for 600 years and can be considered a symbol of sustainability. The arch‐gravity dam is especially remarkable for its extraordinary height of 60 m. This was to remain a world record for any type of dam from 1350 until the early twentieth century. The former president of ICOLD referred to the Kurit Dam as one of the most astounding achievements in dam engineering in the Middle Ages. Despite the fact that the dam was built 650 years ago, it still serves as an illustrative example of creativity, harmony with floods, sustainable development and coping with uncertainties.Unfortunately overlooking the valuable water wisdom of past generations, a modern dam was constructed just upstream of the historic dam. When, 6 years after impoundment, the new dam remained virtually empty due to error in estimating the river inflow, the canniness of the builders of the old dam became evident.This paper seeks to reveal the engineering genius of Iranian history to provide an example of the intergenerational and multicultural collaboration demanded by the global climate challenges of today.

The pinnacle of Soviet modernism

The Moscow television tower, built between 1963 and 1967, could be compared with Iofan’s famous design for the Palace of Soviets. Both were in fact conceived in order to achieve, by means of a sophisticated structure, a record height to bear witness to the greatness of their country. However, apart from that similarity, the two towers are completely different and can be taken as models of Stalinist realism and of the ‘modernism’ which followed it under Khrushchev’s rule. The intention to build a town of extraordinary height in order to reach the whole of the Muscovite region, the most populous in the country, with modern television messages was in fact perfectly consistent with the period in which the design was conceived of and implemented. This consistency is borne out by the numerous echoes of the cold war, which can be seen in the history of the design, the construction site and the building: ranging from Fritz Leonhardt’s consulting services to the Solaris film set.

The Failure of Crits and Leftist Law Professors to Defend Progressive Causes

Future generations will look back at the first decade of the twenty-first century as a pivotal time when a huge economic barrier was erected to encumber the path to a legal career. The symbolic announcement of this barrier rang out when annual tuition crossed the $50,000 threshold, now exceeded at a dozen or so law schools. Including fees and living expenses, it costs well in excess of $200,000 to obtain a law degree at most of the nation’s highly regarded law schools and at a number of non-elite ones as well. Law schools thus impose a formidable entry fee on anyone who wishes to follow what, until recently, has long served as a means of upward mobility and access to power in American society. The pricing structure of legal education has profound class implications. High tuition will inhibit people from middle-class and poor families more than it will deter the offspring of the rich with ample resources. Law school scholarship policies, for reasons I will explain, in effect channel students with financial means to higher ranked law schools, reaping better opportunities, while sending students without money to lower law schools. A growing proportion of elite legal positions will be held by people from wealthy backgrounds as a result. For students who rely on borrowing to finance their legal education, the heavy debt they carry will dictate the types of jobs they seek and constrain the career they go on to have. Liberal law professors often express concerns about class in American society — championing access to the legal profession and the provision of legal services for underserved communities. Yet as law school tuition rose to its current extraordinary heights, progressive law professors did nothing to resist it. This Article explores what happened and why. This is offered in the spirit of critical legal studies — as a critical self-examination of the failure of leftist law professors. The Crits were highly critical of complacent liberal academics of their day, arguing that they had a hand in perpetuating an unjust legal system; here I charge liberal legal academia — including the Crits — with perpetuating the profoundly warped and harmful economics of legal education. What follows will offend many of my fellow liberals. It may even lose me some friends. Liberal law professors must see past their anger to reflect on whether there is a core truth to my arguments, to take personal responsibility for what has happened, and to engage in collective action to do something to alter the economics of our operation. If not, the current economic barrier to a legal career may become permanent.

Atomic-force microscopy: Exotic invention or practical tool?

The Scanning Tunneling and Atomic Force Microscopes are well-known due to their extraordinary capability of imaging atoms using a simple mechanism. However, atomic resolution is usually not needed to solve most problems in development and manufacturing. So, many scientists and engineers (mistakenly) regard these new microscopes as more “exotic” than practical.Both the AFM and the STM make 3-dimensional images of solid surfaces, but the AFM has much broader applications. The reason for this is that the AFM uses a universal sensing mechanism (repulsive and attractive mechanical forces), whereas the STM uses an electrical signal, which requires that the surface be at least somewhat conductive. Using the extraordinary height sensitivity and wide scan capability of the AFM, we easily answer simple (but important) questions about surfaces and surface features, including: -Is a contaminant present?-Is a feature a pit or a peak?-How tall is it?-What is the grain size of a coating?-How rough is the surface?

47,XYY syndrome, height and institutionalization of juvenile delinquents.

From a sex-chromatin survey of patients in hospitals for the subnormal, Hunter (1966) concluded that the great height and large build of XYY (and XXYY) males might present such a frightening picture that when such a person was convicted of an offence, judges and psychiatrists would be biased towards directing them to Special Hospitals in the interests of community safety. In a study of 464 defective delinquents we found 97 inmates who were at least 72 inches tall (Welch, Borgaonkar and Herr, 1967). There were two 47, XYY and four 47, XXY males in this group. Nielsen and Tsuboi (1970) have indicated that patients with tall stature have a comparatively pronounced disposition to character disorder and criminality. However, Baker et al. (1970) believe that the role of extraordinary height in generating both antisocial behaviour and selective commitment to maximum security facilities remains undefined. Although all these reports have been concerned with adult offenders, we considered about a possible relationship between 47, XYY karyotype, height and admission to institutions of juvenile delinquents.
