چکیده
Fowler, Baker, and Dawes (2008) recently showed in two independent studies of twins that voter turnout has very high heritability. Here we investigate two specific genes that may contribute to variation in voting behavior. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we show that individuals with a polymorphism of the MAOA gene are significantly more likely to have voted in the 2004 presidential election. We also find evidence that an association between a polymorphism of the 5HTT gene and voter turnout is moderated by religious attendance. These are the first results ever to link specific genes to political behavior.

متن کاملJordan's principal angles in complex vector spaces
We analyse the possible recursive definitions of principal angles and vectors in complex vector spaces and give a new projector based definition. This enables us to derive important properties of the principal vectors and to generalize a result of Björck and Golub (Math. Comput. 1973; 27(123):579–594), which is the basis of today’s computational procedures in real vector spaces. We discuss othe...
