THOUGH Champagne will ennoble just about any hors d'oeuvre at a cocktail party, including foie gras on toast, pigs in blankets or mini-latkes, dessert pairings are more problematic.
A T pairings are more destabilizing than C G pairings [ 37] and lead to greater deformation of the double helix when a mismatch is present.
No unexpected card pairings were particularly more prevalent than any other.
Post hoc tests revealed that this difference was due to eggs from heterospecific pairings (BC) being more likely to only partially develop than eggs from the conspecific pairs (BB & CC) (lmer; χ 1,3 = 9.75, P = 0.0018, Figure 2).
Of all the possible pairings, none was more taboo than the co-mingling of a black male and a white female.
(Amanda Hess observed something similar in recent TV depictions of friendship among women, writing that shows like "Doll & Em" and "Playing House" seem to have shaped "their platonic pairings to be more like romantic or work relationships," with the attendant narrative conventions).
In contrast, increased joint pre-post synaptic pairings may be more likely outside the tetanic area strengthening the connections within.
In general, the challenges presented by the small sample sizes, low power, and inaccurate estimates suggest that analyses of the different F1 pairings should be more exploratory than hypothesis testing in nature.
Bridges assumed that X-X pairings would normally be more common than X-Y pairings because of the more complete homology between the X's.
Additionally, there appears to be content-specific differences in associative learning at a greater level of abstraction: there is evidence that negative US/CS pairings are learned more quickly, and form stronger bonds than positive US/CS pairings (Rozin 1986, Baeyens et al. 1990).
