Behaviour patterns reflection

This kind of failure to get the outcome you wanted was looked at In Chapter 8 (see Box 8.5) In the context of habitual behaviour undermining your power. In reflecting on experience, you should give further critical attention to your behaviour patterns. There is always a different way you could respond if you so choose. 

Value of 7t is indicative, to a certain extent, the behavioural pattern of a substituent contributing to the solubility behaviour of a molecule imder investigation. It also reflects upon the manner it gets partitioned between lipoidal and aqueous interfaees in the reputed compartments it happens to cross as a drug so as to reach the site of action ultimately. 

Devoting attention to observable behaviour patterns. This implies observation of what occurs in one s surroundings, reflections on what is observed, and the design of approaches to foster the replacement of observed non-sustainable aspects with more sustainable ones. 

Female sexual development and behaviour in mammals occurs by default and requires no ovarian secretion, and it is only in genetic males that the testis can secrete hormones which destroy this female pattern and superimpose that of the male. Sexual differentiation is not so well defined in fish, and larval exposure to both synthetic estrogens and androgens is widely used in aquaculture to produce monosex cultures. Endocrine disruption of sexual differentiation in fish may therefore reflect both the complexity and diversity of such processes between different species. Some care is required in use of the terms hermaphrodite and sex-reversal since a true hermaphrodite has both functional testes and ovaries and a sex-reversed fish is fully functional as its final sex—both produce the appropriate viable gametes. Such functional sex-reversal is not possible in mammals, but in some species of fish it is the normal developmental pattern. In most of the cases of hermaphroditism or sex-reversal reported in the non-scientific press, there is evidence only for a few ovarian follicles within a functional testis. This may be considered as feminisation or a form of intersex, and is very clearly endocrine disruption, but it is certainly neither sex-reversal nor hermaphroditism. In some cases the terms have even been used to infer induction of a single female characteristic such as production of yolk-protein by males. 

The simultaneous presence of the CaC03-reflections and of the CaO-reflections over a wide temperature range, and the persistence of certain calcite reflections point to topotaxy. This behaviour was generally observed during decomposition and recrystallization processes. The growth of the CaO crystallites with increasing temperature can be also seen in Fig. 61 (decrease of line broadening in the diffraction pattern). 

When a number of situations, positioned in that feature space, group together or cluster, it is obvious that their physical and chemical behaviour is similar. This will be perceived by the population of the area in the same way. In pattern recognition it is assumed that such behaviour not only holds for the known physical and chanical data but also reflects similar behaviour of properties such as fresh air or noxious air. 

It is not always easy to be honest in one s self-reflection. Habitual patterns of behaviour may not readily come to consciousness. Or eill the self-Justiflcations and other defensive reactions that we have for concealing from ourselves the... 

In reflecting on experience your attention will inevitably be drawn to the negative aspects of your behaviour. Managing these will lead you to break old patterns. The issue is essentially whether any of your behaviour is proving counterproductive. A large part of the reflective process should be concerned with making that judgement.
