Thermodynamic time asymmetry in nonequilibrium fluctuations [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2007 We here present the complete analysis of experiments on driven Brownian motion and electric noise in a $RC$ circuit, showing that thermodynamic entropy production can be related to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry in the statistical description of ...

Growth and asymmetry of soil microfungal colonies from "Evolution Canyon," Lower Nahal Oren, Mount Carmel, Israel. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fluctuating asymmetry is a contentious indicator of stress in populations of animals and plants. Nevertheless, it is a measure of developmental noise, typically obtained by measuring asymmetry across an individual organism's left-right axis of symmetry ...

Asymmetry of Caddo Ceramics from the Washington Square Mound Site: An Exploratory Analysis [PDF]
, 2017 While pursuing a study of 3D geometric morphometrics for ceramic burial vessels that often articulate with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) from the ancestral Caddo region, there have been no shortage of potentially ...

About the asymmetry structure of the leaf blade Common plantain [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Using the method of geometric morphometrics the contour of the image of the leaf blade of the Common plantain (Plantago major) was aligned along the axis of symmetry to answer the question of whether the asymmetry and shape were influenced by ...

Fluctuating asymmetry and environmental stress : understanding the role of trait history [PDF]
, 2013 While fluctuating asymmetry (FA; small, random deviations from perfect symmetry in bilaterally symmetrical traits) is widely regarded as a proxy for environmental and genetic stress effects, empirical associations between FA and stress are often weak or ...

Dental Asymmetry in a Late Archaic and Late Prehistoric Skeletal Sample of the Ohio Valley Area
Dental Anthropology, 2003 Dental asymmetry (directional, anti-symmetry, and fluctuating) is analyzed in samples from two prehistoric Native American populations: a terminal Late Archaic population (3200-2700 BP) and a Late Prehistoric population (ca. 750 BP). Both directional and

Patterns of fluctuating asymmetry and shape variation in Chironomus riparius (Diptera, Chironomidae) exposed to nonylphenol or lead. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Deformities and fluctuating asymmetry in chironomid larvae have been proposed as sensitive indicators of biological stress and are commonly used to assess the ecological impact of human activities.

Parity Nonconservation in Neutron Resonances in 232Th, [PDF]
, 1998 Parity nonconservation (PNC) was measured for 24 p-wave resonances from 8 to 300 eV in 232Th by measuring the helicity dependence of the total neutron cross section for epithermal neutrons with an improved experimental system.

Fluctuating dental asymmetry in rabbits with familial nonsyndromic coronal suture synostosis
Dentistry 3000, 2017 Fluctuating dental asymmetry has been linked to conditions of unstable pre- and peri-natal development. Familial, nonsyndromic craniosynostosis disrupts early craniofacial development through localized excessive calvarial ossification leading to the ...
