There are many anecdotes about identical twins who were separated early in life and later reunited. Although reared in different environments, their remarkable similarities include mannerisms, tastes in food, choices of hobbies, and vocations. Some people even believe that there is an almost extrasensory sympathy between identical twins—shared pain and moods and vague awareness about how the ot...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the sources of comorbidity for social phobia and dimensional representations of avoidant personality disorder by estimating to what extent the two disorders are influenced by common genetic and shared or unique environmental factors versus the extent to which these factors are specific to each disorder. METHOD Young adult female-female twin...

Monozygotic twins share identical genomic DNA and are indistinguishable using conventional genetic markers. Increasing evidence indicates that monozygotic twins are epigenetically distinct, suggesting that a comparison between DNA methylation patterns might be useful to approach this forensic problem. However, the extent of epigenetic discordance between healthy adult monozygotic twins and the ...

The enduring nature of personality, particularly in adulthood, has been demonstrated in numerous cross-sectional and longitudinal studies where high stability has been observed even with decades between testing intervals. Biometrical studies, reporting genetic e€ects as the primary cause of familial resemblance, have been interpreted as lending further support to theories concerning an inherent...

For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...

background : the aim of the present study was to assess the auditory working memory span of children with (central) auditory processing disorders (c) apd aged 8 to 10 years and to compare the results with normal ones. methods: twenty five children with (central) auditory processing disorders (8-10 years) and 75 normal children (8-10 years) from both genders participated in this comparative stud...

The European Space of Higher Education convergence has stressed the importance of a potentially systemic shift in paradigms, away from what has been labelled the "instruction paradigm" towards the "learning paradigm", i.e. shifting the interest from the teacher to the student, thus leading to pedagogical implications which imply that teachers reflect upon their methodologies of teaching, evalua...

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has been observed by satellite optical remote sensing, altimetry, and gravimetry for a variety of geophysical parameters, including water storage change. However, each of these sensors has its respective limitation in the parameters observed, accuracy and spatial-temporal resolution. Here, we utilized an integrated approach to combine remote sensing imagery, digital ele...

Abstract Construction constraints are conditions or circumstances that impede the standard progress of production tasks in construction projects towards achieving specific objectives. highly dynamic and span different domains. Failing to manage on time could result out sequence work suboptimal productivity. As sector embraces digital technologies, an emerging concept, Digital Twin, has been rec...
