Sexing the Jew: Early Christian Constructions of Jewishness
<p>My dissertation analyzes early Christian representations of Jewish sexuality and explores how early Christian writers attacked opponents by depicting them as subjects of perverse or excessive sexual desires. Beginning with the New Testament, I examine how Paul employed sexual stereotypes to …

Sexing Study of Interphase Duodenum and Liver Nuclei in the Sixteen-Day Chick Embryo
A study was made to confirm the existence of sex chromatin or some other sexual dimorphism in the interphase nuclei of the 16-day chick embryo. A Feulgen staining procedure was performed on sectioned epithelial tissues of the intestinal villi as well as sections and squashes of liver tissues. All …

Recurrent Structural and Thematic Traits in Jeanette Winterson's "The Passion" and "Sexing the Cherry": Time, Space and the Construction of Identity
… este trabajo se centra en The Passion (1987) y Sexing the Cherry (1989) por dos motivos fundamentales: por un lado, son las únicas novelas escritas por la autora hasta la fecha que establecen un diálogo abierto con la Historia; por otro lado, ambas novelas revisan también el cuento popular, el …

The reintroduction of the Aldabra rail Dryolimnas cuvieri aldabranus to Picard Island, Aldabra Atoll
… in captivity, an indirect result of incorrect sexing based on a published field sexing method; a subsequent genetic sexing technique confirmed the unreliability of sexing Aldabra Rails in the field. All 18 remaining birds were released on Picard and survived beyond the first breeding season. …

Intertextualidade (e anti-linenaridade) as obras de Janette Winterson : Oranges are not the only fruit, The passion e Sexing the chery : desafio, ou afirmação de convençõpes literárias?
Uma introdução que dá a conhecer o background literário de Jeanette Winterson introduz os tópicos e as teorias que subjazem à argumentação desenvolvida ao longo da dissertação. A anti-linearidade, a intertextualidade, o Pós-Modernismo ou a construção da identidade constituem vectores centrais na …

PLUMAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LONG-EARED OWL (Asio otus) IN THE VISIBLE AND ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRA OF LIGHT
… plumage coloration. I used a molecular genetic sexing assay to evaluate a published method of sexing long- eared owls in the field based on melanistic pigmentation. I found that although some long-eared owls exhibit distinct plumage dimorphism in the visible spectrum, there also is an …

Exploring methods to understand bovine embryo competency in vitro
… to identify oligonucleotides for efficient sexing of samples. These materials may be used to understand sexual dimorphism as a biological factor in future experiments. Finally, we designed a new method to induce targeted DNA sequence deletions and mRNA cleavage in zygotes using CRISPR-Cas. …

A recent application of the Saxe-Binford hypothesis in establishing social persona
… bodies not associated with caskets, and (5) the sexing, aging and minimum number of individual methods used by physical anthropologists; This study only partially supports the Saxe-Binford model: (a) children were buried in small plywood coffins, (b) cremations were in copper boxes and adults …

The Norby site : a mummy cave complex bison kill on the northern plains
… element counts and distribution, and the sexing and aging of skeletal remains. The role of various taphonomic processes in the destruction and distribution of elements at the Norby site is discussed. Bison population dynamics and bison procurement are discussed in an effort to define the …

Diagnosi prenatale non invasiva di malattie monogeniche attraverso la ricerca e l'isolamento di cellule e DNA fetale nel sangue materno
… have developed a protocol for non invasive fetal sexing from cffDNA. This method appears to be highly accurate showing 100% sensitivity and 96% specificity. In the next future we are planning to analyze cffDNA both for monogenic diseases and for the most frequent aneuploidies using massively …

Grammatical Gender and Transformation in Ovid's "Metamorphoses"
… to be connected, as Anthony Corbeill’s 2015 Sexing the World: Grammatical Gender and Biological Sex in Ancient Rome has recently shown. This connection is driven by a process Corbeill calls “heterosexualisation”: the determination – which accelerated in the Augustan period – to divide the …

Sex estimation of unidentified human remains: Concordance between morphological anthropological assessment and DNA analysis
… This study aimed to assess the agreement of sexing methods in a Western Cape South African forensic sample of skeletonised individuals (n=126), who were morphologically estimated to have biological sex as female (n=41). Of the 41 anthropologically estimated to be female cases, 19 were …

Summary Sex: A Multivariate Approach to Sex Estimation from the Human Pelvis
… age and sex group to create population specific sexing equations (cross-validated). Results from these four equations ranged from 90.24% (South African Black population specific equation) to 96.38% (Christ Church, Spitalfields population specific equation). Population specifity was tested by …

The Estimation of Biological Profile From Unprocessed Human Cremated Remains
… such as auricular surface aging and metric sexing of the postcranial skeleton, to the calcined remains in the current study demonstrates that valuable information can still be gleaned from a human body that has undergone sustained exposure to temperatures exceeding 870˚C(1600˚F). These …

Genetic modification of the homomorphic sex chromosomes in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti provides novel insights and tools for biocontrol
… from the biting females is essential. Genetic sexing strains often rely on marker genes linked to the sex chromosomes. Sex linkage is more challenging in Ae. aegypti than many other species due to the homomorphic nature of their sex chromosomes. Homomorphic sex chromosomes are largely …

Sampling methodology tradeoffs: evaluating monitoring strategies for the endangered humpback chub (Gila cypha) in the Little Colorado River, Arizona
… = 0.55 (95% CRI: 0.30, 0.75), although better sexing data is necessary to confirm this difference. Annual variability in skipped spawning probability was high (i.e. process variance (σ2) = 0.306) while survival probability remained stable throughout the study period (i.e. S = 0.75 (95% CRI: …

Breeding ecology and related life-history traits of the hoatzin, Opisthocomus hoazin, in a primary rainforest habitat
… from chicks, which were later used for molecular sexing and for DNA fingerprints. Food plants were collected and determined and a rough habitat mapping was conducted. Since the impacts of boat tourism in the area became apparent I investigated the interactions of adult and young hoatzins with …

A molecular and evolutionary study of skua breeding systems
… relatively small and is of only limited use in sexing individuals. The discovery of sex-specific fragments in the DNA fingerprints of the south polar skua is reported. The multilocus probe pV47-2 hybridised to Hae III restriction fragments which were present exclusively in females and therefore …
