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...

The regression of daughter on dam first-lactation milk deviations from herd-mate averages was found to be linear from an analysis of 47,400 Holstein pairs. The linear equation was y=-25 .6 + .210 (x -27.6) and the quadratic equation was y-----25.6 + .208 (x -27.6) + .0000222 (x~-44131.4) with correlation coefficients, .18258 and .18268, respectively. These results suggest that selection respons...

The concept of heritability as generally used, involves the assumption that additive genetic variance is a constant proportion of total variance over the entire range of phenotypes. If this assumption holds, selection response will be linearly related to selection differential. If not, prediction of selection response will not be possible from a knowledge of the phenotypic selection differentia...

BACKGROUND The aim of this survey was to examine sexual behavior, use of contraception, and communication regarding these issues between mothers and their teenage daughters. METHODS This descriptive cohort study included 314 pairs of women aged 15-24 years and their mothers, from an urban area in Israel. The participants completed questionnaires about sexual history and contraceptive usage. T...

Asymmetric cell divisions produce two daughter cells with distinct fate. During embryogenesis, this mechanism is fundamental to build tissues and organs because it generates cell diversity. In adults, it remains crucial to maintain stem cells. The enthusiasm for asymmetric cell division is not only motivated by the beauty of the mechanism and the fundamental questions it raises, but has also ve...

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-.
