Comparisons within monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs can provide valuable insights into the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences on the variation in tooth size. Twenty-two twin pairs (12 dizygotic twins, 10 monozygotic twins) aged 13 – 25 years who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered. Mesio-distal measurements of maxillary and mandibular permane...

A decentralized control algorithm for the construction of a tetrahedral configuration using differential lift and drag forces is proposed in this paper. Four 3U CubeSats launched LEO are considered. Satellite attitude-controlled motion relative to incoming airflow provides required order change translational motion. The developed allows one track reference trajectories satellites at vertices te...

In Multipregnancies, The careful control of Number of follicles in stimulation cycles and Number of embryos transferred in ART cycles is so important. Just twin pregnancies are reason for racial death (12- 15%). The risk for CP in twin pregnancies is 8 times more and for Triple is 47 times more than simple ones.Approximately all prenatal problems increase in multiple pregnancies and therefore t...

Purpose – In January 2002, the National Science Council of Taiwan launched a National Digital Archives Program (NDAP) and has proceeded with the implementation of a system related to the open archives initiative (OAI) framework. This paper aims to introduce the protocol and the prototype system of the project. Design/methodology/approach – A general review of the project. Findings – The OAI int...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the maternal puerperal morbidity in elective and emergent cesareans in twins. STUDY DESIGN We evaluated postpartum complications among patients who underwent elective cesarean birth for twin pregnancy. This group was compared to matched singletons and to emergent cesareans in twins. RESULTS During the period September 1994-March 2006 there were 299 (47.4%) elective and...

The Danish Twin Registry is the oldest nationwide twin registry in the world and hosts information on 75,000 twin pairs collected over the past 130 years (Skytthe et al., 2006). The twin survey examined here was conducted by the Danish Twin Registry and was fielded in the period from October 1, 2009 to March 1, 2010. It was administered as a web survey, and 6,707 invitations were sent out to tw...
