In a companion article, Part I, different 'body metaphors' are described and categorised. The human body functions as metaphor, and in anorexia nervosa there is a striking closeness between emotions and different bodily experiences. This is in...

Two doubly interpenetrated coordination polymers [Co2(BDC)2(bpt)2]·nSolvent based on dimeric secondary building units and crystallizing with distinct solvent molecules (-H2O and -MeOH for nSolvent = 2H2O and MeOH·H2O, respectively) were obtained by employing 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) and 1H-3,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole) (bpt) as linkers.

A bovine trophectoderm cell line was established from a parthenogenetic in vitro-produced blastocyst. To initiate the cell line, 8-day parthenogenetic blastocysts were attached to a feeder layer of STO fibroblasts and primary outgrowths occurred that consisted of trophectoderm, endoderm, and very occasionally epiblast tissue. Any endoderm and epiblast outgrowths were removed from the primary cu...
