Is Foot Asymmetry a Correlate of Hand Performance Asymmetry? Evidence from the Jamaican Symmetry Project
Handedness is likely to be controlled by many genetic variants, some of which are in sex-dependent genes that also influence body asymmetry. One such asymmetry may be in foot length. Levy and Levy (Science, 200, 1291– 1292, 1978) reported that right-handed males have longer right feet than left and left-handed males have longer left feet than right, while this trend was found to be reversed in ...
متن کاملA Discussion on Concept of Symmetry snd Asymmetry
This paper is concerned about the concept os asymmetry. The different types of asymmetry for univariate and multivariate distributions have introduces been considered as well as some of usual asymmetry criteria. A brief overview of method for adding the capability of modeling asymmetry to a symmetry distribution is also a secondary purpose of this paper.
متن کاملBusiness cycles in Iran: Evidence from asymmetry and correlated shocks
In this Paper, business cycle asymmetry in Iran has been investigated using a nonlinear unobserved component model. In this regard, according to Kim and Nelsonchr('39')s (1999) interpretation of Friedman plucking model (1993), asymmetric transitory component has been modeled and simultaneously the possibility of a correlation between transitory and permanent shocks has also been considered. The...
متن کاملThe 2nd:4th digit ratio and asymmetry of hand performance in Jamaican children.
Testosterone, particularly prenatal testosterone, has been implicated in the aetiology of many extragenital sexually dimorphic traits. It is difficult to test directly for the effect of prenatal testosterone in humans. However, Manning, Scutt, Wilson, and Lewis-Jones (1998b) have recently shown that the ratio of the length of the 2nd and 4th digits (2D:4D) in right hands negatively predicts tes...
متن کاملAsymmetry, Symmetry and Beauty
Asymmetry and symmetry coexist in natural and human processes. The vital role of symmetry in art has been well demonstrated. This article highlights the complementary role of asymmetry. Further we show that the interaction of asymmetric action (recursion) and symmetric opposition (sinusoidal waves) are instrumental in generating creative features (relatively low entropy, temporal complexity, no...
