Determination of twin zygosity: a comparison of DNA with various questionnaire indices.

This study examined cross-validation and test-retest reliability of questions and questionnaire indices commonly used for twin zygosity classification. Mothers of 58 monozygotic (MZ) and 52 dizygotic (DZ) same sex twin pairs were interviewed by telephone to answer questions regarding the similarity of their twins (mean age = 14.6 +/- 2.8 years). A logistic regression equation correctly classifi...

Comparison of Various Indices of Energy Metabolism in Recumbent and Healthy Dairy Cows

Variations of Strong Earthquake Ground Motion In

Accelerograms recorded at six stations in the metropolitan Los Angeles area during the Borrego Mountain, 1968, the Lytle Creek, 1970, and the San Fernando, 1971, earthquakes in southern California have been studied. In comparing the ground motions recorded during different earthquakes at each of the six stations and in correlations of these motions recorded at different stations during the same...
