THE APPLICATION OF AN INDEX TO DETERMINE GENETIC AND ENVIRONHENTAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO DENTOFACIAL GROWTH IN TWINS AND SIBLINGS [PDF]
The method of principal components may be used to reduce a large quantity of data for an individual into a single statistic, a growth index, indicative of overall facial growth, and to make a determination of the relative contribution of each variable ...

Congenital anomalies from a physics perspective. The key role of "manufacturing" volatility
Genetic and environmental factors are traditionally seen as the sole causes of congenital anomalies. In this paper we introduce a third possible cause, namely random "manufacturing" discrepancies with respect to ``design'' values.

Abstract Cardiometabolic diseases—including Type 2 diabetes and obesity—remain leading causes of global mortality. Recent advancements in metabolomics have facilitated the identification of metabolites that are integral to the development of insulin resistance, a characteristic feature of cardiometabolic disease. Key metabolites, such as branched‐chain

Researches on the Twin Prime Problem [PDF]
Twin prime number problem is mainly the structure of the twin prime numbers and whether there are infinitely many prime twins group. In this paper, by constructing a special cluster number set(see formula(2.3)in the paper), proves that the number of set number of the first n columns set the intersection of the minimum number of q is decision of the ...

Socioeconomic Status and Sickness Absence - What do twins tell us about causality? [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate causal effects between socioeconomic status and absence from the workplace due to sickness. To be able to conclude that income causally affects health it is important to control for both reverse ...

Parental separation and children's genetic influences on education
Abstract Objective This study focuses on the extent to which parental divorce and separation during childhood affect children's chances to realize genetic influences on educational attainment. Background Whether the family context matters for genetic influences on children's educational attainment remains an open question.

Emergenesis: Genetic traits that may not run in familes. [PDF]
Traits that are influenced by a configuration--rather than by a simple sum-- of polymorphic genes may not be seen to be genetic unless one studies monozygotic twins (who share all their genes and thus all gene configurations) because such emergenic ...

Class, genes, and rationality: A gene–environment interaction approach to ideology
Abstract Variation in political preferences is increasingly understood to stem from both environmental influences and genetics. Research in political psychology has argued that a pathway for genetic effects on ideology is via cognitive performance, showing a sizable genetic overlap between the traits.
