A Search for Jet Handedness in Hadronic $Z^0$ Decays [PDF]
, 1995 We have searched for signatures of polarization in hadronic jets from $Z^0 \to q \bar{q}$ decays using the ``jet handedness'' method. The polar angle asymmetry induced by the high SLC electron-beam polarization was used to separate quark jets from ...

Incidences of asymmetries for the palmar grasp reflex in neonates and hand preference in adults [PDF]
, 1999 It was hypothesized that adult handedness might be predicted from the neonatal grasp reflex. Grasp reflex was measured from right and left hand (10 trials for each hand) in neonates.

Are left-handers really more anxious? [PDF]
, 2012 Research examining anxiety and handedness is inconclusive. Davidson and Schaffer (1983) found left-handers had higher trait anxiety, while Beaton and Moseley (1991) found no state or trait differences. Such studies potentially have methodological issues,

Interação em Psicologia, 2009 This study focused on the developmental patterns of hand and foot dominance, and associated phenotypic asymmetries, such as mixed dominance and the correspondence between handedness and footedness among young children. Research indicates that for certain

Handedness of a motor program in C. elegans is independent of left-right body asymmetry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Complex animals display bilaterally asymmetric motor behavior, or "motor handedness," often revealed by preferential use of limbs on one side. For example, use of right limbs is dominant in a strong majority of humans. While the mechanisms that establish

Task complexity, age and gender effect on functional motor asymmetry of right- and left-handed children [PDF]
Motricidade, 2011 Manual asymmetry was assessed in different complexity coincidence-anticipation tasks in 59 right- and 56 left-handed children of both genders divided into two age groups (7-8 years and 9-10 years).

Left preference for sport tasks does not necessarily indicate left-handedness: sport-specific lateral preferences, relationship with handedness and implications for laterality research in behavioural sciences. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the elite domain of interactive sports, athletes who demonstrate a left preference (e.g., holding a weapon with the left hand in fencing or boxing in a 'southpaw' stance) seem overrepresented. Such excess indicates a performance advantage and was also

The level of the aggression in karate athletes with different handedness and belt grades [PDF]
Journal of Men's HealthKarate athletes with different lateral talents possess different functions in terms of skills and personality characteristics in a way that handedness can be considered an advantage.

Field-induced diastereomers for chiral separation [PDF]
, 2019 A novel approach for the state-specific enantiomeric enrichment and the spatial separation of enantiomers is presented. Our scheme utilizes techniques from strong-field laser physics, specifically an optical centrifuge in conjunction with a static ...

Changing handedness after nerve reconstruction in brachial plexus birth palsy
Frontiers in NeurologyPurposeRight obstetric brachial plexus injuries (OBPI) often lead to left-handedness before limb function is restored post-surgery. A pertinent question arises about promoting a transition from left to right-handedness.
