Trying to remember the novel's numerous minor characters and follow its involuted plots, I coveted that chip.

Those instincts led you to a place of an involuted chaos, of anarchy, where the monster ends up being in charge.

The pups had small brains with dying neurons chock-full of the virus; their developing retinas had involuted and shrunk into small gray nubs.

By invoking celebrities who mean lots of things to lots of people and examining them from specific, involuted angles, Rapsody and Woods render the political personal.

Baseball is strange like that—there's something decadent and involuted about its chosen style of self-regard, a sort of doomy grandiosity that is more legitimately grandiose than legitimately doomy.

The eldest boy, Ratan—Moni's father—and my grandmother had shared the adjacent room, but, as Jagu's mind involuted into madness, she had moved Ratan out with his brothers and taken Jagu in.

But when you look at the programs of so many of those cyber-libertarians, they're actually just nihilistic; they don't believe in any sort of society beyond the slightly autistic, involuted society of the web.

Her voice and band are both sufficiently blurry that on the occasions when the guitar doesn't slash out just right, or the drums don't patter, or detachment takes over her voice, the songs slide into vagueness, coming into focus only when you squint to see the involuted lyrical detail.

In a sense — and despite the somewhat gnarly, involuted language in which much of it is couched — Questions of Poetics is a quite personal attempt to follow up The Grand Piano with another round of stock-taking: an individual rather than collaborative response this time, but not an individualistic one.

The bilious bad faith and blinkered pomposity and annihilating involuted stupidity of the past couple weeks are not any less present in September than they are in February, and if you're enough of a defective that you'd cross the street to shame a sexual harassment victim in the first place, you probably don't mind stepping over a snowdrift or two to do it.

Theorem: A semiheap with a biunitary element e may be considered an involuted semigroup with operation give by ab = [a, e, b] and involution by a–1 = [e, a, e]. Theorem: Every semiheap may be embedded in an involuted semigroup. As in the study of semigroups, the structure of semiheaps is described in terms of ideals with an "i-simple semiheap" being one with no proper ideals. Mustafaeva translated the Green's relations of semigroup theory to semiheaps and defined a ρ class to be those elements generating the same principle two-sided ideal.

304 British Museum (Natural History) or fungi release their mature spores. The term is also used in higher plants, for example to denote the opening of the involuted fig inflorescence through which fig wasps enter to pollinate and breed.

An iron-involuted brooch of the La Tène II type has also been found. It is unclear whether the occupation of Stokeleigh Camp in the 3rd century was for a formal garrison or whether it was just used by "squatters" or as a place of refuge in times of crisis.

Dasypterus ega copulates before the end of hibernation, but a female L. ega delays its ovulation and stores the sperm for 6 months and fertilizes it later. All reproductive organs involuted following mating in July (early winter) and remained inactive until the following April (autumn).. Crichton, E. G. (2000). Sperm storage and fertilization. Reproductive biology of bats, 295–320.

This is why his criticisms are so severe, and occasionally super-punctilious. Cora DuBois characterized Steiner’s ‘critical reasoning’ as ‘subtle and involuted, at times to the point of obscurity, and the critical mood is predominantly captious’, but affirmed that, ‘(n)evertheless, these lectures are of a high intellectual order and occasionally possess passages of literary merit’.

The main symptom is swelling at the base of the nail on the ingrowing side (though it may be both sides). Onychocryptosis should not be confused with a similar nail disorder, convex nail, nor with other painful conditions such as involuted nails, nor with the presence of small corns, callus or debris down the nail sulci (grooves on either side).

Asymptomatic cysts, such as those discovered incidentally on neuroimaging done for another reason, may never lead to symptomatic disease and in many cases do not require therapy. Calcified cysts have already died and involuted. Further antiparasitic therapy will be of no benefit. Neurocysticercosis may present as hydrocephalus and acute onset seizures, thus the immediate therapy is emergent reduction of intracranial pressure and anticonvulsant medications.

Involuted RICH may leave behind atrophic tissue, which can be reconstructed with autologous grafts. It is often best to postpone excision until regression is complete. There are effective pharmacologic treatments, which include intralesional corticosteroid injection, systemic corticosteroid injection, interferon α-2a or α-2b and angiogenic inhibitors. The use of corticosteroids leads to accelerated regression in 30%, stabilization of growth in 40%, lightening of color and softening of the tumor.

The ciliates are long and ribbon-shaped, like other karyorelictean ciliates that live in the marine interstitial habitat. In some species, the cell body is folded or involuted into a tube or more elaborate shapes. The ventral side is ciliated, while the dorsal side is mostly unciliated except for a single "circle kinety" at the margin. The dorsal side is covered with a single layer of symbiotic bacteria.

His first published prose work, After the Fair, appeared in The New English Weekly on 15 March 1934. Jacob Korg believes that one can classify Thomas's fiction work into two main bodies: vigorous fantasies in a poetic style and, after 1939, more straightforward narratives. Korg (1965), pp. 154–182. Korg surmises that Thomas approached his prose writing as an alternate poetic form, which allowed him to produce complex, involuted narratives that do not allow the reader to rest.

The clinical phases of hemangioma have physiological differences, correlated with immunophenotypic profiles by Takahashi et al. During the early proliferative phase (0–12 months) the tumors express proliferating cell nuclear antigen (pericytesna), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and type IV collagenase, the former two localized to both endothelium and pericytes, and the last to endothelium. The vascular markers CD31, von Willebrand factor (vWF), and smooth muscle actin (pericyte marker) are present during the proliferating and involuting phases, but are lost after the lesion is fully involuted.

Deleuze paints a picture of philosophical history in which difference has long been subordinated to four pillars of reason: identity, opposition, analogy, and resemblance. He argues that difference has been treated as a secondary characteristic which emerges when one compares pre-existing things; these things can then be said to have differences. This network of direct relations between identities roughly overlays a much more subtle and involuted network of real differences: gradients, intensities, overlaps, and so forth (50). The chapter contains a discussion of how various philosophers have treated the emergence of difference within Being.

The rugae of the epithelium create an involuted surface and result in a large surface area that covers 360 cm3. This large surface area allows the trans-epithelial absorption of some medications via the vaginal route. In the course of the reproductive cycle, the vaginal epithelium is subject to normal, cyclic changes, that are influenced by estrogen: with increasing circulating levels of the hormone, there is proliferation of epithelial cells along with an increase in the number of cell layers. As cells proliferate and mature, they undergo partial cornification.

In the early seventies Beckley escaped from the black, white, and gray tonalities of early conceptualism. With his color photographs and references to advertising images, he influenced artists of the so-called Picture Generation like Richard PrinceThe Pictures Generation 1974–1984 (exhibition catalogue), Metropolitan Museum of Art. and Jeff Koons, whom he met at the above-mentioned Projects Room exhibition of color photographs at the Museum of Modern Art. From glimpses of himself and his obsessions, he assembled enigmatic works in which modular form and its permutations sometimes read as the story of a sexual relationship or as a baffling involuted image of sexuality itself.

Death Notice by Zhou Haohui is a detective thriller and deadly game of cat-and-mouse, where a special police task force named the 418 hunts a deadly mastermind out to publicly execute criminals the law has been unable to reach. "Death Notice is the first volume in a trilogy, the beginning of a manhunt for a serial killer with a serious agenda, rather than a conclusive one. The case is such an involuted one that the book nevertheless is packed (over)full with crimes, revelations, and connections -- and it works reasonably well as a first, separate stage of a larger story." The novel starts with an ominous letter and the death of an iconic sergeant on the police force.
