Objective: To estimate the correlation and variant heritability values of craniofacial variables between parents their offspring. Materials Methods: The sample comprised 20 Indian families; each family consisted father, mother, son, daughter. Lateral cephalometric radiographs facial photographs were taken for member.Fifty -three angular, linear, proportional measured photographic analysis was d...

Let (pk)k∈N be a discrete probability distribution for which the counting function x↦#{k∈N:pk≥1/x} belongs to de Haan class Π. Consider deterministic weighted branching process generated by (pk)k∈N. A nested Karlin's occupancy scheme is sequence of Karlin balls-in-boxes schemes in boxes jth level, j=1,2,… are identified with generation individuals and hitting probabilities corresponding weights...

Cell divisions producing two daughter cells that adopt distinct fates are defined as asymmetric. In all organisms, ranging from bacteria to mammals, in which development has been studied extensively, asymmetric cell divisions generate cell diversity. Asymmetric cell divisions can be achieved by either intrinsic or extrinsic mechanisms (Fig. 1). Intrinsic mechanisms involve the preferential segr...

Abstract In Ogihara’s edition of the Tocharian B so-called “Avadāna-Manuscript”, a fragment from Dhanika-Avadāna contains word santse. On basis parallel texts, it is shown that santse means ‘daughter-in-law’. This newly identified cognate with a.o. Greek νυός ‘daughter-in-law’ and derives Proto-Indo- European *snusó-.
