  • (15) The contribution of psychoanalysis to a theory of subjectivity involves the formation of a concept of the subject in which neither consciousness nor unconsciousness holds a privileged position in relation to the other; the two coexist in a mutually creating, preserving and negating relationship to one another.

Polymorphism


Definition:

  • (n.) Same as Pleomorphism.
  • (n.) The capability of assuming different forms; the capability of widely varying in form.
  • (n.) Existence in many forms; the coexistence, in the same locality, of two or more distinct forms independent of sex, not connected by intermediate gradations, but produced from common parents.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Structural peculiarities in tubulin polymorphism are considered.
  • (2) We conclude that only one of the alleles was amplified and that either allele could be amplified with respect to both the SphI and PvuII polymorphisms.
  • (3) Twelve families with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) were studied by linkage analysis using 10 polymorphic marker loci from the X-chromosome pericentromeric region.
  • (4) Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were studied in a large Algerian family which includes 6 haemophiliacs and a previously described case of female haemophilia A.
  • (5) 247 individuals from Northern Italy have been tested for red cell glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) polymorphism.
  • (6) An N-acetylation polymorphism is described that is expressed toward arylamine carcinogens in tumor target organs of an inbred rat model.
  • (7) These killer cells could lyse a wide range of syngeneic and allogeneic lymphoid tumour cell lines in vitro, and it was found that cell suspensions from nude mice were always significantly more active than those from normal mice, and that the most active effector population was a polymorph-enriched peritoneal-exudate cell suspension.
  • (8) Analysis of Alu repeat polymorphism should be useful in construction of a high-resolution map and also in identifying genotypes of individuals for clinical and other purposes because the repeats are ubiquitous and the technique for their detection is simple.
  • (9) Structurally altered polymorphic variants with reduced activity, such as tetrameric interface mutant Ile-58 to Thr, may produce not only an early selective advantage, through enhanced cytotoxicity of tumor necrosis factor for virus-infected cells, but also detrimental effects from increased mitochondrial oxidative damage, contributing to degenerative conditions, including diabetes, aging, and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.
  • (10) Subcutaneous polymorphic sarcomas were induced in 8 out 27 offspring of syrian golden Hamsters after treatment of pregnant mother animals at day 15 of gestation with Adenovirus 12.
  • (11) Because all differences were found only in this region of the molecule, and because DR alpha-chains seem to be relatively non-polymorphic, these positions in the DR beta-chain must have a major role in influencing T-cell recognition of the DR molecule.
