  • (n.) The elementary and indestructible units which were conceived of as endowed with the power to produce all the changes they undergo, and thus determine all physical and spiritual phenomena.
  • (n.) One of the smallest flangellate Infusoria; esp., the species of the genus Monas, and allied genera.
  • (n.) A simple, minute organism; a primary cell, germ, or plastid.
  • (n.) An atom or radical whose valence is one, or which can combine with, be replaced by, or exchanged for, one atom of hydrogen.

  • (2) The first crisis of cytology resulted from barren discussions of the so-called preformation hypothesis and the monadism of Leibniz.
  • (3) These included failure of the usual degree of condensation at pachytene, failure of synapsis, and most strikingly the ability of sister centromeres to interact with the spindle on schedule with the normal dyads at anaphase I, so that monads were commonly distributed to the poles for telophase I and then often lagged at anaphase II.

  • (6) However, when the learning of the compactness theorem is followed by learning about monads and galaxies instead of internal and external sets, the understanding of the consistency of the existence of the infinite or infinitesimal numbers was found to be related to the dominance of the right cerebral hemisphere over the left one.
  • (7) Monad-type synaptic complexes, a sign of immaturity, were common in bipolar cell processes.
  • (8) Our 3-fix-point-splint is a ideal device for simple and complexe valgus- and varus-instabilities at the quantitative stage of a monad and duad A.
  • (9) Little or no cross-linking of relatively abundant alpha- and gamma-chain monads into hybrid alpha gamma-dydads accompanies formation of the alpha gamma 2-triads.
  • (10) Dyadic Mini Code summary ratings compared to mean coherence values computed from Monadic Phase Scale (Tronick, Als, & Brazelton, 1980) scores on the same data yielded moderate concurrent validity; point bi-serial analysis, rpb = .488, p less than .01; and chi 2 = 4.878, df = 1, Fisher's exact test (1-tail) = p less than .05.

Definition:
