  2. XYY syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYY_syndrome

    XYY syndrome, also known as Jacobs syndrome, is an aneuploid genetic condition in which a male has an extra Y chromosome. [1] There are usually few symptoms. [2] These may include being taller than average and an increased risk of learning disabilities. [1] [2] The person is generally otherwise normal, including typical rates of fertility. [1]

  3. CIE 1931 color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space

    The derived color space specified by x, y, and Y is known as the CIE xyY color space and is widely used to specify colors in practice. The X and Z tristimulus values can be calculated back from the chromaticity values x and y and the Y tristimulus value: [ 15 ]

  4. Patricia Jacobs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Jacobs

    Despite her work being on XXY syndrome, the XYY syndrome is instead sometimes called Jacobs syndrome: [6] After it had been incidentally discovered by Avery Sandberg in 1961, [7] the syndrome was also found in a chromosome survey of 315 men at a hospital for developmentally disabled, made by Jacobs and hence considered the first little research ...

  5. XXYY syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXYY_syndrome

    48,XXYY syndrome is a condition related to the X and Y chromosomes (the sex chromosomes). People normally have 46 chromosomes in each cell.Two of the 46 chromosomes, known as X and Y, are called sex chromosomes because they help determine whether a person will develop male or female sex characteristics.

  6. Theory X and Theory Y - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_X_and_Theory_Y

    Theory X and Theory Y are theories of human work motivation and management. They were created by Douglas McGregor while he was working at the MIT Sloan School of Management in the 1950s, and developed further in the 1960s. [1] McGregor's work was rooted in motivation theory alongside the works of Abraham Maslow, who created the hierarchy of needs.

  7. XY sex-determination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_sex-determination_system

    In most mammals, sex is determined by presence of the Y chromosome. This makes individuals with XXY and XYY karyotypes males, and individuals with X and XXX karyotypes females. [1] In the 1930s, Alfred Jost determined that the presence of testosterone was required for Wolffian duct development in the male rabbit. [6]

  8. Chromaticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromaticity

    For example, the white point of an sRGB display is an x, y chromaticity of (0.3127, 0.3290), where x and y coordinates are used in the xyY space. (u′, v′), the chromaticity in CIELUV, is a fairly perceptually uniform presentation of the chromaticity as (another than in CIE 1931) planar Euclidean shape.

  9. XYYY syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYYY_syndrome

    The presentation of XYYY syndrome is variable and at this time not entirely clear. As all known cases were diagnosed postnatally (after birth), and the similar XYY syndrome is known to have a milder phenotype in prenatally than postnatally diagnosed cases, it is suspected that many cases of XYYY syndrome may be mild or asymptomatic.
