Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae). by Christopher Nicolai Roterman, Molly McArthur, Cecilia Laverty Baralle, Leigh Marsh, Jon T Copley

“…A total of 135 specimens from the East Scotia Ridge were examined, revealing mean asymmetry indices close to zero with respect to propodus length and height, albeit with a significantly larger number of marginally left-dominant individuals with respect to propodus length, possibly indicative of some task specialisation between claws, or a vestigial ancestral trait. …”

Statistical-based detection of pilot contamination attack for NOMA in 5G networks by Dalia Nashat, Sahar Khairy

“…Since the pilot contamination attack changes the signal reception at the legitimate receiver, this work introduces a novel detection scheme for identifying Pilot Contamination attack (PCA) that statistically investigates the asymmetry in received signal power levels. The main idea of the proposed detection scheme is to use various statistical measurements for normal traffic attributes (CSI) as a reference profile. …”

Last digit tendency: Lucky numbers and psychological rounding in mobile transactions by Hai Wang, Tian Lu, Yingjie Zhang, Yue Wu, Yiheng Sun, Jingran Dong, Wen Huang

“…The well-known Benford’s law states that the first digits in many real-life numerical data sets have an asymmetric, logarithmic distribution in which small digits are more common; this asymmetry diminishes for subsequent digits, and the last digit tends to be uniformly distributed. …”

Dependence of Climate and Carbon Cycle Response in Net Zero Emission Pathways on the Magnitude and Duration of Positive and Negative Emission Pulses by K. U. Jayakrishnan, Govindasamy Bala, Ken Caldeira

“…Our study highlights the role of ocean inertia in the asymmetry in climate response to emissions and removals and indicates that an earlier emission reduction implying emission/removal pathways with smaller magnitudes and shorter durations for the positive and negative emission pulses would avoid larger climate and carbon cycle impacts on centennial‐timescales.…”

Multifractal analysis of Bitcoin price dynamics by Cristian Bucur, Bogdan-George Tudorică, Adela Bâra, Simona-Vasilica Oprea

“…The calculated Hurst exponents values suggest varying degrees of multifractality across the years, with 2021 exhibiting the highest degree and 2022 the lowest. Furthermore, an asymmetry index (0.5767) deviating from 0.5 indicates that the multifractal nature of the Bitcoin market is not symmetric. …”
