Twinship in mythology and science: Ambivalence, differentiation, and the magical bond

This article has attempted to show parallels and continuities between mythological traditions dealing with twinship and modern scientific approaches that either study twinship itself or use twin studies to answer more general questions. We do not mean to imply that modern research on twins is just a continuation of mythological concepts. What we have tried to show is the continuity in some of the questions being asked and in some of the answers being given. The explanation we would like to offer here for these parallels is that there are common psychological elements in both mythological and scientific approaches to twinship. The two major elements are fascination and ambivalence. Fascination with twin births has always been combined with a great deal of apprehension and ambivalence. In both primitive and modern societies, multiple births have been viewed as a potential source of familial and social conflict and complication. The Old Testament mythological tradition, which emphasized competition and individuation in twin pairs, and the Greek mythological tradition, which emphasized fusion and intimacy, are both reflected in modern approaches to the study of twinship.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/22324/1/0000769.pd

Isolation and sequence of a tomato cDNA clone encoding subunit II of the photosystem I reaction center

We report here the isolation and nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone encoding a phtosystem I polypeptide that is recognized by a polyclonal antibody prepared against subunit II of the photosystem I reaction center. The transit peptide processing site was determined to occur after Met 50 by N terminal sequencing. The decuced sequence of this protein predicts that the polypeptide has a net positive charge (pI=9.6) and no membrane spanning regions are evident from the hydropathy plot. Based on these considerations and the fact that subunit II is solubilized by alkali treatment of thylakoids, we concluded that subunit II is an extrinsic membrane protein. The absence of hydrophobic regions characteristic of thylakoid transfer domains furthermore implies that subunit II is localized on the stromal side of the membrane.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43419/1/11103_2004_Article_BF00014949.pd

A Feminist View

A Zambezia essay review on gender.This paper describes the feminist challenge to the social sciences and discusses some of the issues emerging from this confrontation. It then reviews some of the social science literature on Zimbabwean women. An attempt is made to look at this literature in terms of the values both of feminism and of academic social science
