Using data from the child supplement of the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, and fitting three-level random-effects models of child health and cognitive development, we test whether left-handed children have different outcomes from those of their right-handed counterparts. The health measures cover both physical health and mental health, and the cognitive development test scores span v...

It is axiomatic that efficient crystal production reflects upon the quality of structure. An empirical relation for mass proportions of two solvents in crystallization of Z-Tyr-Gly-OEt shows a linear relationship. The dipeptide crystallizes in orthorhombic space group P212121, with cell parameters a=5.0680(1)Å, b=13.8650(1)Å and c=28.2630(1)Å, Z=4, Dcalc= 1.339Mg/m , μ=0.820mm-, F000=848, CuKα ...

The N = 1 self-dual supergravity has SL(2,C) symmetry and the lefthanded and right-handed local supersymmetries. These symmetries result in SU(2) charges as the angular-momentum and the supercharges. The model possesses also the invariance under the general translation transforms and this invariance leads to the energy-momentum. All the definitions are generally covariant. As the SU(2) charges ...

Neutrinos with a magnetic dipole moment propagating in a medium with a velocity larger than the phase velocity of light emit photons by the Čerenkov process. The Čerenkov radiation is a helicity flip process via which a lefthanded neutrino in a supernova core may change into a sterile right-handed one and free-stream out of the core. Assuming that the luminosity of such sterile right-handed neu...

In this paper, we analyze the illumination by an electromagnetic wave of an air/left-handed medium (LHM) interface. It is shown that by placing a periodic structure of resistors near the LHM it is possible to suppress or to reduce the surface wave that is present at the interface. For our demonstration, we consider a semi-infinite lossless lefthanded medium having the same constitutive paramete...

Neutrinos with a magnetic dipole moment propagating in a medium with a velocity larger than the phase velocity of light emit photons by the Cerenkov process. The Cerenkov radiation is a helicity ip process via which a lefthanded neutrino in a supernova core may change into a sterile right-handed one and free-stream out of the core. Assuming that the luminosity of the sterile right-handed neutri...

How much did a network change since yesterday? How different is the wiring between Bob’s brain (a lefthanded male) and Alice’s brain (a right-handed female)? Graph similarity with known node correspondence, i.e. the detection of changes in the connectivity of graphs, arises in numerous settings. In this work, we formally state the axioms and desired properties of the graph similarity functions,...

Handedness, Time Use and Early Childhood Development We test if there is a differential in early child development by handedness, using a comprehensive range of measures covering, learning, social, cognitive and language skills, evaluated by both interviewer conducted tests and teacher assessments. We find robust evidence that left-handed children do significantly worse in nearly all measures o...

In this work, we suggest and demonstrate a robust method to tune the plasma frequencies of wire mediums. The method we suggest involves the use of two or more wire arrangements in the unit cell. By incorporating the method we suggested it is possible to tune the plasma frequencies of wire mediums effectively by use of lower metal densities. In addition, we study the effective permittivities and...

By means of an analysis of the field radiated by a point source placed in front of an infinite left-handed slab, the effect off losses and dispersion on the focusing properties of continuous left-handed media are analyzed. It is shown that subwavelength focusing of point-like quasi-monochromatic sources can be achieved by using physical lefthanded slabs, provided some conditions are fulfilled. ...
