 Beyond Rivalry, a Hidden World of Sibling Violence - New York Times   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Children ages 2 to 9 who were repeatedly attacked were twice as likely as others their age to show severe symptoms of trauma, anxiety and depression, like sleeplessness, crying spells, thoughts of suicide and fears of the dark, further unpublished data from the same study suggest.
The sibling attacks in Dr. Finkelhor's study were equally frequent among children of all races and socioeconomic groups; they were most frequent on children 6 to 12, slightly more frequent on boys than on girls, and tapered off gradually as children entered adolescence.
Piglets are born with a special set of temporary "needle teeth" to attack their littermates in the struggle for the mother's prodigal frontal teats; the runts kicked back to the hind teat sometimes starve on its thin milk.

The parameter list of a function describes the number and types of the arguments which the function accepts, and the number and types of the values it returns.
The parameter list of a generic function is used to define the overall protocol of the generic function.
The parameter list of a method specifies the types of arguments to which the method is applicable, and declares local bindings to which those arguments will be bound during the execution of the body of the method.

Questions consisted of socio economic status of their parents, number of siblings, their age, their siblings age, gender, whether they reside with one parent or both and which one, age of divorce, ethnic background, GPA, parents’ educational level, birth order or age spacing, amount of time spent with sibling, and their parents’ authority style.
The participant had incentive to give contact information about their chosen sibling because if the sibling returned the questionnaires, the participant’s name and their sibling were entered to possibly win one of eight $50 prizes to split between the sibling dyad.
Participants were e-mailed upon arrival of the sibling’s completed returned data, notifying and confirming that their name was entered to win the possible reward for participation.

 Generated content, automatic numbering, and lists
One familiar example of this is a numbered list; the author does not want to list the numbers explicitly, he or she wants the user agent to generate them automatically.
The first (leftmost) pair represents the outermost level of quotation, the second pair the first level of embedding, etc. The user agent must apply the appropriate pair of quotation marks according to the level of embedding.
Which pair of quotes is used depends on the nesting level of quotes: the number of occurrences of 'open-quote' in all generated text before the current occurrence, minus the number of occurrences of 'close-quote'.

 THE DETECTION OF AUTOSOMAL LINKAGE IN DATA WHICH CONSIST OF PAIRS OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF UNSPECIFIED PARENTAGE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The suggested method is based on the principle that, when pairs of sibs are taken at random from a series of families, certain types of sibling pairs will be more frequent if there is linkage than if there is free assortment of the characters studied.
The even pairs naturally exceed the odd pairs in number and, when there is no linkage, the expected amount of this excess can easily be ascertained from the total distribution, among the siblings, of the characters A and B, taken separately.
In order to exemplify the use of this method a series of 60 sibling pairs was investigated and the presence or absence of certain characters was noted in each individual.

Another sibling from this trio was present on the Tower when this bird was released.
In mid-March, this peregrine pair was frequently seen on the Peoples Bank building, but nesting was not observed and the pair was not seen in the area after March.
Due to the slower recovery of the reestablished population in the East, the Wildlife Division had recommended that the USFWS list the eastern peregrine falcon population as threatened, mainly because the recovery of the reestablished peregrine population was not yet complete in Connecticut.

 Relations
Notice that this numerical description is not as complete as the algebraic description; there are infinitely many pairs of numbers that satisfy the equation, so we have neither time nor space to include all of them (as indicated by the vertical dots).
For example, the relation "is a sibling of" in my mother's family would consist of the set of ordered pairs: {(Isabella, John), (John, Isabella), (Isabella, Henry), (Henry, Isabella), (Henry, John), (John, Henry)}.
Note: Because these are ordered pairs, the order matters, so that (since the relationship of sibling is reciprocal) we must list both ordered pairs for each pair of siblings.

 Final: Birth Spacing As preventive medicine for sibling rivalry
Sibling rivalry is not a new or surprising event in the family.
From my research in evolutionary psychology, sibling rivalry is a natural part of having more than one offspring, for offspring tend to compete over the parents¹ resources to secure their individual survival.
His premise is that your sibling has half of your genes, so you are more likely to help him/her than someone unrelated to you keep their genes going.

He concluded however, that a Porites species would probably top the list, as these are widespread and phylogenetically and ecologically important, whether the massive ones, for which we have climate records and can relate genotypes to historical conditions, or the branching ones, which satisfy more of the ‘lab rat’ criteria.
However, she was concerned that the discussion was beginning to lose sight of the real goal in the effort to have a coral genome sequenced: to generate vital coral genome sequence data, and make it widely available to the research community via the public domain.
It would be a great advantage for the coral community to have a sequenced coral genome added to the short list of other fully sequenced eukaryotic (organisms with cells having a distinct nucleus with nDNA, and intracellular membranes) genomes.

Because [b] is a singleton list it is never false, so the wrong path is never taken; then applying [0] to the whole thing gets the b or c that you really wanted.
Lists are equivalent to C or Pascal arrays in their time complexity; the primary difference is that a Python list can contain objects of many different types.
If the object has ever been a local variable in a function that caught an expression in an except clause, chances are that a reference to the object still exists in that function's stack frame as contained in the stack trace.

In depth-first traversal, a node n and all its descendants are visited before visiting the nodes that follow n in the list of siblings to which n belongs.
Note that these definitions identify uniquely the list produced by a breadth-first traversal, while for depth-first traversal we need to further specify whether the content of a node is listed before or after that of its descendants.

Social-emotional correlates of sibling relationship quality were examined among a diverse sample of 102 early adolescent sibling pairs who participated in the Texas Multiethnic Sibling Study.
Further, it was expected that the sibling relationship would interact with parent-child relationship quality in either an additive or a compensatory manner in explaining the contributions of different family relationships to child adjustment.
When links between the sibling relationship and adjustment were considered in the context of the mother-child relationship, different patterns of results were evident for each sibling, and were dependent upon the outcome in question.
