(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.
(11) The theory of monad has given a new structure to the concepts of unity and multiplicity in the history of European philosophy.
(12) It is characterized in the yin-yang mode of the monad of the East and the Western concept of masculine and feminine.
(13) The three-fixed-point splint (Mann, 1971) is considered to be an ideal device to cope with simple and complex valgus and varus instabilities at the quantitative stages of monad and duad A.
(14) Amacrine cell synapses and immature, monad bipolar cell synapses were common within the IPL.
(15) A psychoanalytical study of Leibniz by F. Eckstein from the year 1931 serves as starting point to confront the theory of monad with the concept of self of Winnicott.
(16) At the ultrastructural level, gap junctions, monad ribbon synapses, and conventional synapses, like those present in the intact retina, were observed in sibling cultures.
(17) The heart rates of 16 subjects playing in monad, dyad, and tetrad group sizes, in two playroom configurations, were monitored and spectral analysis used to locate significant biorhythms.
(18) The midget ganglion cells receive most of their input from their associated midget bipolar cells in the form of ribbon synapses at dyads or monads (55-81 ribbons total), although ribbonless synapses are seen occasionally.
Polyad
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) Implications are indicated in polyadic systems, and a new aspect of transference is noted.
(2) Pollen of acacias is transported by insects as polyads, composite pollen grains.
(3) This defect correlates with several abnormalities in subsequent developmental events including the formation of multinucleate daughter cells, multiple microspindles during meiosis II, multiple phragmoplasts, polyads of microspores, and cytoplasmic microtubule foci.
(4) The polyad has enough pollen grains to fertilize all ovules within a flower and hence all seed within a pod may be full sibs.
(5) A series of experiments has been carried out with single doses of simple analgesics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis using a consistent polyad design.
(6) The following main anomalies of meiosis were revealed: the univalent state of chromosomes; an irregular movement of 8 to 33 chromosomes to the poles; the lag of 6 to 25 chromosomes and their premature splitting into chromatids; formation of micronuclei in diads and tetrads, formation of polyads.
