The bar s televisions were tuned to ESPN, where a football player, in an interview, was dealing with his finer emotions. Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and all the other artists who, historically, form the soundtrack of a bar scene in a college town or a home-game weekend fraternity party, played on Blue Smoke s sound sys-... 

Studies conducted in twins show a threefold increased risk of psoriasis in monozygotic twins versus fraternal twins.7 In addition, based on a study in 3,095 families with psoriasis, the calculated lifetime risk of developing psoriasis if no parent, one parent, or both parents have psoriasis was found to be 0.04, 0.28, and 0.65, respectively. If there was already one affected child in the family, the risks were increased to 0.24, 0.51, and 0.83, respectively.7,9 As many as 71% of patients with psoriasis during childhood have some positive family history.1 Similarly, psoriatic arthritis is heritable, with a prevalence 19 times higher in first-degree relatives of patients with psoriatic arthritis than in the general population.7... 

The influence of genetics in leukemia is supported by several observations. For example, among identical twins, the occurrence of ALL is associated with a 20% to 25% chance of the disease developing in the other twin within 1 year. In fraternal twins, there is a fourfold increase in the risk of leukemia compared with the normal population. Additionally, leukemia is known to be increased in several chromosomally abnormal populations. Patients with Down s syndrome have a 20 times increased risk of developing leukemia compared with the rest of the population. Patients with Klinefelter s syndrome and Bloom s syndrome also have an increased incidence of leukemias.7...

McIntosh, Christopher. The Rosicrucians. Wellingborough Crucible, 1987. Almost 120 years after his death, the body of Father Christian Rosenkreutz was discovered perfectly preserved in a seven-sided vault. So runs part of the legend concerning the birth of the Fraternity of the Rosy Cross, with its mysterious founder Christian Rosenkreutz, forerunner of the many "Secret Masters" who have had such a profound influence on the course of the Western Esoteric Tradition. Alchemy, Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and important literary works have all been enriched by the legend and symbolism of Rosicrucianism. 

This detailed outline of the basic tenets and philosophy of the Fraternity of the Rose Cross is biblically based, with ample quotations from the Gospels, especially Matthew and John, and from James. Two roads are offered for man s journey The first suggests that faith alone is enough to attain enlightenment, the second asks that we make efforts and sacrifices. The Great Work is an outgrowth of the latter process"... 

Genetics clearly play a role in obesity. It has been noted that an adopted child s body weight is usually more similar to the body weight of his or her biological parents than that of his or her adopted parents. Identical twins usually have similar occurrences of obesity. Studies have also shown that fraternal twins do not show this same likelihood of obesity when one twin is overweight, the other is very often not. These examples help demonstrate that genetics play a significant role in obesity. 

I am confident that the discussions among the renowned experts and participants during the two days would be of immense use for the scientific fraternity to refine their future pursuits. On this great occasion, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the delegates and participants on the conference. I extend my best wishes for the success of such a mega event. 

I am sure the conference would provide a common platform to both those from the academics and those coming from the industry to deliberate on different theme areas related to the basic topic of the Conference and that the deliberations at the conference would project new findings and fruitful results for the benefit of the researchers and academic fraternity.
