Structural response to O*-O' and magnetic transitions in orthorhombic perovskites [PDF]

, 2002
We present a temperature dependent single crystal x-ray diffraction study of twinned orthorhombic perovskites La1-xCaxMnO3, for x=0.16 and x=0.25. These data show the evolution of the crystal structure from the ferromagnetic insulating state to the ...

An overview of human handedness in twins

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
There has been a long-standing debate on the complex correlation between the development of human hand preference and brain lateralization. Handedness, used as a proxy for cerebral lateralization, is a topic of considerable importance because of its ...

Are the Morphological Indices of the Vertebrobasilar System Heritable? A Twin Study Based on 3D Reconstructed Models

Medicina, 2021
Background and Objectives: The asymmetrical vertebral artery (VA) flow and diameter are common findings, which can result in an asymmetrical blood flow in the basilar artery (BA), leading to bending of the artery over time.

Narcissism predicts impulsive buying: phenotypic and genetic evidence

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Impulsive buying makes billions of dollars for retail businesses every year, particularly in an era of thriving e-commerce. Narcissism, characterized by impulsivity and materialism, may serve as a potential antecedent to impulsive buying.

Genetics of Obesity Traits: A Bivariate Genome-Wide Association Analysis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Previous genome-wide association studies on anthropometric measurements have identified more than 100 related loci, but only a small portion of heritability in obesity was explained. Here we present a bivariate twin study to look for the genetic variants

Case Report: A Case Study on the Neurodevelopmental Profile of a Child With Pallister–Killian Syndrome and His Unaffected Twin

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Pallister–Killian syndrome is an uncommon genetic disorder that has broad developmental and multisystemic effects. While medical complications are widely reported throughout the literature, research on the neurodevelopmental profile has been limited ...

Effects of smoking on genome-wide DNA methylation profiles: A study of discordant and concordant monozygotic twin pairs

eLife, 2023
Background: Smoking-associated DNA methylation levels identified through epigenome-wide association studies (EWASs) are generally ascribed to smoking-reactive mechanisms, but the contribution of a shared genetic predisposition to smoking and DNA ...
