Significance The frequency of the human-specific EDAR V370A isoform is highly elevated in North and East Asian populations. gene known to have several pleiotropic effects, among which are sweat gland density ductal branching mammary gland. former has led some geneticists argue that near-fixation this allele was caused by selection for modulation thermoregulatory sweating. We provide an alternative hypothesis, instead acted on allele’s effect increasing gland, thereby amplifying transfer...
The use of crown and root morphology to estimate population relationships has a long history in dental anthropology. Over the past two decades, methods employing within forensic anthropology have been formalized with incorporation statistical models. This paper presents new web-based application (rASUDAS) that estimates ancestry unknown individuals based on their suite tooth traits. utilizes 21 independent traits were scored following Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System...
Abstract Fourteen morphologic crown traits were observed in a sample of 1528 Pima Indians south‐central Arizona. dentitions are characterized by high frequencies shoveling, incisor winging, the hypocone, lower canine distal accessory ridge, cusp 6, and protostylid. They exhibit low metaconule premolar multiple lingual cusps moderate tubercle, Carabelli's trait, 7, second molars with four X groove patterns. When trait compared to those 13 Southwest Indian samples, their closest affinities...
Abstract While the study of dental wear has enjoyed wide popularity for over 100 years, chipping, or microfractures tooth crown, received little attention. Observations on chipping in populations from Arctic (St. Lawrence Island, Alaska) and Europe (medieval Norway Spain) reveal patterns microtrauma that provide insights into dietary tooth‐tool use behaviour earlier populations. St. Island Inuit, with an emphasis consuming tough frozen foods, combination extensive use, exhibit a pattern is...
Abstract Objectives Crown and root traits, like those in the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS), are seemingly useful as genetic proxies. However, recent studies report mixed results concerning their heritability, ability to assess variation level of genomic data. The aim is test further if such traits can approximate relatedness, among continental global samples. Materials Methods First, for 12 African populations, Mantel correlations were calculated between mean...
Abstract There is a growing consensus that global patterns of modern human cranial and dental variation are shaped largely by neutral evolutionary processes, suggesting craniodental features can be used as reliable proxies for inferring population structure history in bioarchaeological, forensic, paleoanthropological contexts. However, there disagreement on whether certain types data preserve signature to greater degree than others. Here, we address this unresolved question systematically...
Abstract Asymmetry in mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters eight morphologic traits of permanent first second molars was analyzed a large Pima Indian sample. Analysis antimeric differences indicates no consistent evidence for directional asymmetry either dimensions or traits. Second show greater degrees metric than molars. There is conclusive sex magnitude relationships between tooth size asymmetry. Nonparametric correlations computed morphological significant interaction except...
U.S. experience in offshore wind is limited, and high costs are expected unless innovations introduced one or multiple aspects of the project, from installed technology to balance system (BOS). The substructure main single component responsible for BOS capital expenditure (CapEx) thus that, if improved, could yield significant levelized cost energy (LCOE) savings. For projects waters, multimember lattice structures (also known as jackets) can render required stiffness transitional water...
Summary In order to assess the reliability and repeatability of transthoracic echocardiography for detecting serial changes in cardiac function horses, day variability a number echocardiographic indices ventricular were studied. The variables investigated were, from 2‐dimensional (2‐D) M‐mode ‐ aortic diameter systole (Ao S ), pulmonary artery (Pa left internal (LLVID ) diastole d fractional shortening (%FS) estimated ejection fraction (EF). From pulsed Doppler maximum velocity (V max...
