Archetypal roles

Pearson originally wrote her book to help women understand how their own archetypal roles related to those associated with the careers of men. But men apparently found her book so enlightening, that in the second edition additional material aimed at helping men to understand their archetypal roles and life journeys has been added. Each archetype is in fact relevant to both men and women, the more so as women take on traditional male jobs in managing, and men, influenced by seeing the way women work, now seek to move into the women s archetypEil roles. 

One of the underlying themes of this exposition is the suggestion that the Beltrami flow field could play an important but yet dimly suspected archetypal role in organizing matter and energy at a deeper level of nature. One indication of this might be the possible non-linear uncertainty principle cited earlier, which... 

Thomas Alva Edison, is the archetype of American ingenuity and inventiveness. He played a critical role in the early commercialization of electric power. He designed the first commercial incandescent electric light and power system and his laboratory produced... 

Khunrath s engraving of Christ-Anthropos, the Archetype of the universe (fig. 3), initiated many of the elements later found in Fludd s prolific illustrations of the Macrocosmic Man. These included the use of the male nude, kabbalistic inscriptions, geographical compass-points, the diagrammatic structure of the Macrocosm and the motif of the dove of the Holy Spirit. The apocalyptic context of these images and their role in the Protestant Reformation of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries will be considered in the following chapter. 

The second example of property space applications concerns the dipephde camo-sine (P-alanine-L-histidine, see Fig. 1.4) which represents the archetype of a series of histidine-containing dipeptides whose full physiological role remains poorly understood despite extensive studies in recent years [18-20]. Carnosine is synthesized by carnosine synthetase and hydrolyzed by dipeptidases (also called camosi-nases) which belong to the metalloproteases [21]. 

The discrepancies in the reported conductance data of Au-alkanedithiol-Au junctions attracted our attention, and we decided to carry out an in-depth experimental study of the charge transport properties of Au-a,oo-alkanedithiol-Au molecule junctions in a non-conducting solvent. The combination with quantum chemistry ab initio simulations yielded a detailed view of this archetype of molecular junctions, and helped to resolve the puzzle on the role of microscopic geometries at the contacts and in the molecular conformation. 

This is a role that I would have loved to see a,N,0-TMS play. At the time of its first synthesis its biological activity was, by definition, completely unknown. Let s cast its shadow up against the structures that were known, and with known activity. What would you predict The most logical archetype to use as a starting... 

These multiple roles operate in parallel with a complex structural chemistry giving rise to families of chemically vastly different modifications of the element. It is a special characteristic of carbon chemistry that many of these modifications cannot be obtained as phase-pure materials. This limits the exact knowledge ol physical and chemical properties to a few archetype modifications, namely graphite and diamond. 

The blue precipitates obtained on mixing Fe3+ with [Fen(CN)6]4 or Fe2+ and [Fem(CN)6]3 have long been known both products are Fe4n[Fen(CN)6]3T5H20. This compound presents an intense absorption band at 700 nm due to transition from the ground state to an excited state in which an electron is transferred from an Fe11 to an Fem site. Prussian blue may be considered as the archetype of mixed valence compounds it contains two identical metals in different oxidation states. These compounds have played, and continue to play, a crucial role in the study of electron transfer phenomena.51... 

Transition metal complexes have represented, for a long time, the archetypical system for which the JT effect plays a crucial role, especially with regard to crystal field splitting and spin-orbit interaction (Ham effect). This affects optical as well... 

Models from political science that seek to explain the role of science in these sorts of policy decisions have often depicted a one-way relationship, summarized most easily as speaking truth to power. 30 According to this archetype, experts can be placed on a spectrum ranging from scientists, who possess pure knowledge, to politicians, who embody decision-making authority. Scientists provide clear answers to government officials on military, environmental, and medical policy questions.31... 

Appearing at the meeting point of history, legend, and myth, Hermes Trismegistus is a tricky character to pin down. He shifts roles and identities from one moment to the next. As the archetypal trickster he is the inner and outer teacher, the balancing point between aU polarities, often referred to as Hermes or Mercurius.
