A Genetic Study on Deaf Twins [PDF]
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1974 A clinical and genetic study on 25 twin pairs with at least one deaf member was performed. Concordance rate of hearing loss was 0.88 in MZ and 0.50 in DZ pairs, with an almost complete penetrance (P = 0.94). Consanguinity was found in 32% of cases, corresponding to five times the average population rate in Japan.

Twin boundary reversibility characteristics in α-Fe [PDF]
Materials Today Communications, Volume 29, December 2021, page
102970, 2022 Understanding the grain boundary deformation dynamics is very crucial to designing materials with stable microstructures. With this quest, the deformation behavior of coherent twin boundary under cyclic shear loading has been studied in {\alpha}-Fe using molecular dynamics simulations to understand the influence of strain amplitude and temperature ...
