Limb bone bilateral asymmetry: variability and commonality among modern humans.
Humans demonstrate species-wide bilateral asymmetry in long bone dimensions. Previous studies have documented greater right-biases in upper limb bone dimensions--especially in length and diaphyseal breadth--as well as more asymmetry in the upper limb when compared with the lower limb. Some studies have reported left-bias in lower limb bone dimensions, which, combined with the contralateral asym...
متن کاملPatterns of clavicular bilateral asymmetry in relation to the humerus: variation among humans.
Studies of directional asymmetry in the human upper limb have extensively examined bones of the arm, forearm, and hand, but have rarely considered the clavicle. Physiologically, the clavicle is an integrated element of the upper limb, transmitting loads to the axial skeleton and supporting the distal bones. However, clavicles develop in a manner that is unique among the bones of the upper limb....
متن کاملCommonality and Variability in Software Engineering
3 7 ncreasingly, software engineers spend their time creating software families consisting of similar systems with many variations. While developers are pressed to build these families, they have no effective means for doing so. They are asked to create and reuse libraries of components but find those libraries costly to build and of limited value. They search for the right decomposition of the...
متن کاملParadoxical bilateral asymmetry in bone size and bone mass in the hand.
Among 227 chronic renal disease patients, micrometer caliper radiogrammetric measurements of the second metacarpal at midshaft showed the right metacarpal to be larger (with greater bone area) and with a greater cortical area than the left second metacarpal, both in 208 right-handed individuals and in 19 left-handed individuals. This direction of asymmetry was individually characteristic of the...
متن کاملIdentifying and Visualising Commonality and Variability in Model Variants
Models, as any other software artifact, evolve over time during the development life-cycle. Different versions of the same model are thus existing at different times. Model comparison of different versions has received a lot of attention in recent years. However, existing techniques focus on comparing only two model versions at the same time to identify model differences. Independently of model...
