this article studies sir walter scott’s use of the family-as-nation trope in ivanhoe and anne of geierstein. the importance of this trope in his figuration of nationhood is discerned by carrying out a close reading of the texts and placing them in their historical context, which primarily consists of a comparison with edmund burke and maria edgeworth. consequently, his position is revealed as b...

We examined the relationship between the spindle orientation and the determination site of cytokinesis in brown algal cells using polyspermic zygotes of Scytosiphon lomentaria. When two male gametes fuse with one female gamete, the zygote has two pairs of centrioles derived from male gametes and three chloroplasts from two male and one female gametes. Just before mitosis, two pairs of centriole...

Background: Few family-based healthy lifestyle programs for Latinos have been conducted, especially family programs targeting mother-daughter dyads. Purpose: To assess the acceptability and feasibility of the Behavior Opportunities Uniting Nutrition Counseling and Exercise (BOUNCE) program designed for Latino mother-daughter pairs. Methods: 92 participants (46 mother-daughter pairs) were recrui...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess intergenerational mother-daughter patterns of reproduction. METHODS In 1966, 12 055 pregnant women in Northern Finland, representing 96% of all births in the region, responded to a questionnaire in mid-gestation. In 1997-98, the 31-year-old daughters born from those pregnancies were sent a questionnaire and 4523 (80%) responded. Reproductio...

We studied fitness consequ ences of clonal integration in 27 genotypes of the stoloniferous herb Ranunculus replans in a spatially heterogeneous light environment. We grew 216 pairs of connected ramets (eight per genotype) with mother ramets in light and daughter ramets in shade, In half of the pairs we severed the stolon connection between the two ramets at the beginning of the experiment, Dur...

A UBASIC computer program was developed to implement a method of te Riele for finding amicable pairs of type (2, 2). Hundreds of new pairs were found, including a new largest (2, 2) pair and several “daughter”, “granddaughter”, and “great granddaughter” pairs.

The events leading to the completion of cytokinesis after the formation of the midbody and intercellular bridge in D-98S cells were studied with light and electron microscopy. Pairs of daughter cells corresponding to different stages of cytokineses, as determined previously form time lapse films, were selected from embedded monolayers for serial sectioning. Separation of daughter cells is prece...
