Given a triangle center we can draw line segments from each vertex through the triangle center to the opposite side, this splits the triangle into six smaller triangles called daughters. Consider the following problem: Given a triangle S and a rule for finding a center find a triangle T , if possible, so that one of the daughters of T , when using the rule is S. We look at this problem for the ...

IN A finding that sheds new light on the ageing process, scientists have discovered that men who father children later in life are more likely to produce daughters who have a shorter lifespan. A study of European royal families, including the House of Windsor, discovered that men who have children in late middle age are more likely to have daughters who die earlier in life than the daughters of...

Participants independently rated degree of conflict in their relationship when daughters were ...
