	Discussion - Hemispheric Specialization & Asymmetry in Facial Actions
		The asymmetry of some deliberate actions (AUs 9, 15, and 20) which are often found in negative emotion expressions were significantly stronger on the right rather than on the left as their theory predicts for negative facial expressions.
		First, asymmetries in intensities of bilateral actions were generally related to measures of control over actions, i.e., which side had a better unilateral action, was preferred in making a unilateral action, and was rated easier to move.
		Little is known about the causes of asymmetry in structural tissues, but the action of muscles is an important factor influencing their own size and strength as well as the growth and shape of bone.

	Locality and Temporal Asymmetry
		From a relativistic standpoint, locality is often defined as the proposition that all causal effects of a particular event are restricted to the interior (or surface) of the future null cone of that event, which effectively prohibits communication between spacelike-separated events (i.e., no faster-than-light communication).
		However, the original experimental evidence in 1964 for violation of temporal symmetry in the decay of neutral kaons was actually a demonstration of asymmetry in parity and charge conjugacy, from which temporal asymmetry was indirectly inferred on the basis of the CPT Theorem.
		In any case, it's interesting to consider why temporal asymmetry seems to be such an important element in many peoples' intuitive conceptions of locality, in spite of the fact that there is very little (if any) direct evidence of temporal asymmetry in any fundamental laws or interactions.

		Asymmetry in posed expressions was measured using image-based approaches in digitised sequences of facial expression in 55 individuals, N =16 men, N =39 women.
		Structural asymmetry (at neutral expression) was higher in men than women and accounted for.54,.62, and.66 of the variance in asymmetry at peak expression for joy, anger, and disgust expressions, respectively.
		The significant role of structural asymmetry in asymmetry of emotion expression and the exploration of facial expression asymmetry have important implications for evolutionary interpretations of facial signalling and facial expressions in general.

	Introduction to the Dissertation Asymmetry in Facial Actions
		Multiple measures of asymmetry are useful to weigh the validity of individual measures and to assess the degree to which asymmetry in facial function is a general characteristic or is a set of discrete, unrelated phenomena.
		Related to the hypothesized differences in asymmetry between spontaneous and deliberate actions are predictions about conditions where these two types of actions were mixed, i.e., simulations of startle or emotions, and startle reactions where the subjects expected the noise.
		Asymmetry of actions in conditions that mixed spon taneous and deliberate types of movement will show asymmetry and laterality intermediate between actions from conditions that elicited relatively pure samples of these movement types.

	Thermodynamic Asymmetry in Time (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Ritz took the position that the asymmetry of radiation had to be judged lawlike and that the thermodynamic asymmetry could be derived from this law.
		As the up-down asymmetry was reduced to the existence of a gravitational potential — and not an asymmetry of space itself — so the past-future asymmetry would reduce to the time potential — and not an asymmetry of time itself.
		The temporal asymmetries with which we are concerend are all the phenomena that we associate with the past and future directions being different.

	Breast asymmetry (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The plastic surgery procedures chosen to correct breast asymmetry depend on the degree of differences between the size and shape of the breasts.
		The recommended plastic surgery procedures for a woman with breast asymmetry is a breast reduction or breast lift for the larger breast and a breast augmentation or enlargement for the smaller breast.
		A congenital cause of breast asymmetry is Poland's Syndrome.

	RFC 3449 (rfc3449) - TCP Performance Implications of Network Path Asymmetry
		Asymmetry may manifest itself as a difference in transmit and receive capacity, an imbalance in the packet loss rate, or differences between the transmit and receive paths [RFC3077].
		The asymmetry in capacity may be substantially increased when best effort IP flows carrying TCP ACKs share the available upstream capacity with other traffic flows, e.g., telephony, especially flows that have reserved upstream capacity.
		When ACK Decimation is used on paths with an appreciable asymmetry (k>1) (or with bidirectional traffic) it increases the burst size of the TCP sender, use of a scheme to mitigate the effect of Stretch ACKs or control burstiness is therefore strongly recommended.

		If the issue is one of structural asymmetry, this is consistent with a number of known multiple anomaly syndromes where asymmetry of the structures of the head and neck are common.
		Asymmetry of this type could be a primary gene effect, or as in some of the syndromes above, secondary to a tissue dysplasia or abnormal vascular supply.
		If the asymmetry of structure or function is clearly asymmetric, referral to a clinical geneticist may be indicated depending on the patient’s history and physical presentation.

	Breast Asymmetry Linked to Increased Cancer Risk - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today
		March 20 - Breast asymmetry appears to be an independent predictor of breast cancer risk that is as strong as factors such as age at menarche and menopause, according to a study here.
		Breast volume asymmetry was higher in the case group (an average of 63 ml) than the controls (average of 53 ml).
		Breast asymmetry may be an indication of disrupted homeostatic processes during the period of rapid cellular proliferation as the breasts develop, the authors suggested.

	Why Symmetry? Why Asymmetry? (5)
		Observe that despite all the asymmetry in such a shape, there is a form of symmetry.
		It was in fact illustrated several times in the paper already: You first partition the situation into its asymmetry and symmetry components, and then you apply the Asymmetry Principle to the asymmetry component, and the Symmetry Principle to the symmetry component.
		It says that, for each unit of asymmetry, that is, for each curvature extremum, you will find a unit of symmetry, a symmetry axis.

	<DIR><B>Substrates of anatomic asymmetry</B> </DIR>
		Humans are by and large individually asymmetric, that is most brain regions show left-right asymmetry, and are also asymmetric at the population level—the majority of individuals have anatomic asymmetries in the same direction.
		This distinction between the magnitude of asymmetry (i.e., individual) and direction of asymmetry (i.e., population) is important to keep in mind in the discussions that follow.
		We have found that as asymmetry increases, the total area of the region decreases, suggesting that when a brain is symmetric, it is the result of two large sides rather than two small sides.

		While most patients suspect their imbalance is due to different amounts of skin and fat in the two lids, more commonly the problem is related to weak crease fixation and not tissue excess or deficiency.
		If asymmetry is the result of previous double eyelid surgery rather than natural preexisting variability, surgical repair can prove especially challenging.
		Crease reconstruction for marked natural asymmetry or unsatisfactory surgery relies on advanced techniques that are far more intricate and less predictable than those used in normal double eyelid surgery.

	Molecular approaches to brain asymmetry and handedness: Nature Reviews Neuroscience
		In addition to the asymmetries related to language abilities, such as those of the Sylvian fissures and the planum temporale, anatomical asymmetries associated with hand use have also been detected in other regions in the human cerebral cortex.
		Because anatomical asymmetries of certain areas in the human brain are associated with language ability, several researchers have made efforts to map asymmetries of the planum temporale and Broca's area in the brains of chimpanzees and great apes
		The challenge of studying brain asymmetry is that because the obvious anatomical and functional asymmetries have been identified largely in humans, we cannot carry out direct experiments.

	IngentaConnect Rotational stimulation-related changes of the motor asymmetry in ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		We studied changes in the motor asymmetry of the goldfish induced by single-session long-lasting vestibular stimulations (clockwise and counter clockwise rotations around the rostro-caudal body axis) and repetitive everyday short sessions of such stimulation (training); the latter mode led to the development of adaptation (resistance to fatigue).
		Earlier, we found that the motor asymmetry in the goldfish, which is determined by the functional asymmetry of the brain, correlates with the morphological asymmetry of Mauthner neurons localized in the medulla in a mirror manner and playing a crucial role in the control of turnings in the course of locomotion (swimming).
		Experimental rotational stimulation-induced gradual modification of the motor asymmetry in the goldfish can serve as a physiological model for more detailed studies of the structural base of the functional brain asymmetry and some mechanisms of adaptation on the level of single neurons.

	Breast Cancer Research \| Abstract \| Breast asymmetry and predisposition to breast cancer
		It has been shown in our previous work that breast asymmetry is related to several of the known risk factors for breast cancer, and that patients with diagnosed breast cancer have more breast volume asymmetry, as measured from mammograms, than age-matched healthy women.
		In the present study, we compared the breast asymmetry of women who were free of breast disease at time of mammography, but who had subsequently developed breast cancer, with that of age-matched healthy controls who had remained disease-free to time of the present study.
		Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that breast asymmetry, height, family history of breast cancer, age at menarche, parenchyma type and menopausal status were significant independent predictors of breast cancer.

	A. Gray's Web Page: W Charge Asymmetry
		In the s-channel, the asymmetry is due to the ratio of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) for the up and d-bar quarks.
		T-Channel asymmetry is due mostly to simple old-fashioned kinematics: the up quark has so much more oomph than the gluon (that produces the initial b-bar) so much more of the time that it simply pushes the entire interaction in its direction -- like, always.
		I thought it would be useful to have the asymmetry in muon eta that showed up in the Data (+2Jets) contrasted with the asymmetry in muon eta that showed up in the monte carlos of the W+Jets backgrounds.

	Palmer- Biological Asymmetry Main
		Conspicuous asymmetries are readily visible to the naked eye, either as asymmetrical structures on otherwise bilaterally symmetrical animals (claws of lobsters & many crabs, narwhal's tusk, ears of owls), or as whole-body asymmetries (snails, flatfish).
		Random asymmetries suggest that symmetry is 'broken' during development by effects of the external environment.
		Fixed asymmetry, however, suggests that symmetry is 'broken' during development by pre-existing internal asymmetries in biological molecules or the cytoplasm of cell.
