Definitions

1. Handedness is an asymmetry in skill development in people and animals. (Web site)
2. Handedness is an attribute of humans defined by their unequal distribution of fine motor skill between the left and right hands.
3. Handedness is a sign of how the brain is organized to represent different aspects of intelligence. (Web site)
4. I assume handedness is not an intrinsic property whatever way you look at it, but requires reference to something else (like an embedding).

Result

1. Axial symmetric particles have opposite handedness as the result of axial sequence changes across the centerpoint. (Web site)

Animals

1. In nature, the organic constituents of animals, microorganisms and plants are made up of chiral molecules, or molecules which exhibit handedness. (Web site)

Human Behavior

1. He believed that many aspects of human behavior, such as handedness and temperament were heritable. (Web site)

Granny Knot

1. Two consecutive overhands of the same handedness will make a granny knot. (Web site)

Hemisphere

1. Table 5 shows the correlation between the same lobar region or hemisphere within MZ twin pairs and the relationship of this correlation to handedness. (Web site)

Motor Cortex

1. Dassonville P, Zhu XH, Uurbil K, Kim SG, Ashe J. Functional activation in motor cortex reflects the direction and the degree of handedness.

Weak Nuclear Force

1. Because electrons and neutrinos are the particles most influenced by weak nuclear force, they display the greatest "handedness". (Web site)
2. However, the weak nuclear force that governs beta decay does depend on the handedness of the universe, and in this case pseudovectors and vectors are added. (Web site)

Helical Structure

1. From such result, it is believed that the presence of an amide bond plays a key role for controlling the handedness of a helical structure. (Web site)

Addition

1. In addition, a significant correlation was found between the degree of handedness measured by the EHI and the right posterior PT (3rd definition).

Choice

1. Orientation of differential manifolds Another way of thinking about orientability is thinking of it as a choice of "right handedness" vs. (Web site)
2. Another way of thinking about orientability is thinking of it as a choice of "right handedness" vs. (Web site)
3. It follows that laws of physics cannot contain mixtures of tensors and pseudo-tensors, otherwise they would depend our choice of handedness convention.

Particle

1. The spin of a particle may be used to define a handedness for that particle. (Web site)

Dominant Hemisphere

1. In each individual, one hemisphere is dominant, the dominant hemisphere being concerned with language, mathematical and analytical functions, and handedness.

Manifolds

1. For some manifolds, like the sphere, charts can be chosen so that overlapping regions agree on their "handedness"; these are orientable manifolds. (Web site)

Knot Theory

1. Knot theory can be used to determine if a molecule is chiral (has a "handedness") or not. (Web site)

Humans

1. Lateralization, or handedness, is well-known in humans and occurs in many animals, including modern gray and humpback whales.

Brain Structure

1. Cerebral asymmetry and the effects of sex and handedness on brain structure: a voxel-based morphometric analysis of 465 normal adult human brains.

Coordinate Systems

1. Cross product and handedness When measurable quantities involve cross products, the handedness of the coordinate systems used cannot be arbitrary. (Web site)

Coordinate System

1. Because the cross product relies on the handedness of the coordinate system, the direction of the vector may change under such a transform.
2. Fortunately, in nature cross products tend to come in pairs, so that the "handedness" of the coordinate system is undone by a second cross product. (Web site)
3. However, when physics laws are written as equations, it should be possible to make an arbitrary choice of the coordinate system (including handedness).

Matter

1. The conundrum here is really that the handedness doesn't really matter, what matters is the sign of the result.
2. No matter what the handedness convention, rotating the X vector 90 degrees around the Z vector will yield the Y vector -- the math and numbers are the same.

Asymmetry

1. Witelson SF, Kigar DL (1992) Sylvian fissure morphology and asymmetry in men and women: bilateral differences in relation to handedness in men. (Web site)
2. There was no significant interaction between asymmetry and handedness and no main effect of handedness. (Web site)

Left-Handed

1. Suppose that we have two variables, sex (male or female) and handedness (right-handed or left-handed).
2. Electrons & neutrinos are left-handed, whereas antielectrons (positrons) & antineutrinos are righthanded (antiparticles have opposite handedness). (Web site)
3. Research has shown that hemispheric dominance is related to whether a person is predominantly right-handed or left-handed (see Handedness).

Chirality

1. Because coiled shells are asymmetrical, they possess a quality called chirality, the "handedness" of an asymmetrical structure. (Web site)
2. Chirality (pronounced KIE-ral-it-tee) is the property of handedness.

Handedness

1. The use of vector calculus may require the handedness of the coordinate system to be taken into account (see cross product and handedness for more detail).
2. Unlike the dot product, it also depends on the choice of orientation or "handedness". (Web site)
3. Language ability and handedness are likely to be associated with asymmetry of the cerebral cortex (grey matter) and connectivity (white matter).
