Character, sexual

We should note once again the general mechanism by which resistance appears in target species is natural selection. Many factors may accelerate or slow this process a growth in frequency or number of resistance alleles their dominance, ability to penetrate, and expressivity their interaction with various genes the speed with which generations are replaced the number of individuals in each generation the character of the reproductive system (sexual or asexual) and a host of other factors [113]. 

Bachelard writes of the athanor as an enclosure of volatile desire What may at first sight hide its psychological character is the fact that alchemy quickly took on an abstract aspect. The alchemists worked with the enclosedfire, the fire confined in a furnace. The images which are created so lavishly by open flames and which lead to a more free and winged kind of reverie, were now reduced and decolorized to the benefit of a more precise and concentrated dream. And he goes onto say that several of the furnaces and retorts used by the alchemists had undeniable sexual shapes (Bachelard 51).

The secretion of estrogens in females and androgens in males by the adrenal cortex is controlled by ACTH. They are responsible for the development and maintenance of secondary sexual characters in both males and females. They also increase the deposition of protein in muscles and reduce the excretion of nitrogen in males. 

Estradiol is the major secretory product of ovary. Estrogens are required for normal maturation of the female. They stimulate the development of secondary sexual characters e.g. stimulate stromal development, ductal growth in the breast, growth of axillary and pubic hair and alter the distribution of body fat to produce typical female body contours. 

Follicle stimulating hormone is responsible for the growth of testes. It promotes spermatogenesis. Along with LH, FSH plays an essential role in maintaining the normal testicular functions such as development of male sex organs e.g. penis, scrotum development of secondary sexual characters e.g. growth of facial.

Overdosing The character s sexual urges cannot be satisfied, and his state of arousal will not diminish for up to 12 days. 

Roquet et al. (1981) used this procedure to treat patients with character neuroses, sexual neuroses, and drug addiction. Nine hundred fifty patients were treated in this manner and, according to a scientific follow-up study, approximately 80% of those treated showed distinct improvements (Roquet et al. 1981). Table I summarizes the information on these studies. 

Reproduction is the power possessed by an organism of giving rise to new individuals. This may take place through the agency of either asexual or sexual cells and is accordingly asexual or sexual in character. Whenever a union of cells or their protoplasmic contents takes place the process is called sexual reproduction if, however, there is a mere separation of a cell or cells from an individual which later form a new organism, the process is termed asexual or vegetative reproduction. ... 

FIG. 1. Means and standard errors of the coefficient of phenotypic variance (CVP), the coefficient of additive genetic variation (CVA) and the coefficient of residual variation (CKR). Comparison is made between paired data for sexual and non-sexual characters from the same species (Data from Pomiankowski Mpller 1995, n = 16). 

These experiments show that the sexual trait (male eyespan) in stalk-eyed flies is a unique character. Both sexual and non-sexual traits decreased in size under... 

Other uses that have been reported are Rehabilitation of criminals, treatment of sexual disorders, and treatment of mentally retarded or schizophrenic children. LSD has also proven itself successful treating psychotic adults, character disorders, sociopathic personality disorders and treatment of alcoholism. 

The narrative style. This particular story has both a plot (foreground story) and a character layer (background story). The background story gravitates around the issue of the priest as spiritual leader and of the man as a sexual being. The presence of another "sexual" priest in the same parish suggests sexuality is a problem for more than one Catholic priest in the Parish. The other priest, however, is heterosexual. That priest is also socially and politically active in the community, whereas the main character is concerned with the... 

To offer a final comment on Priest, the priest on first appearance is a powerful figure in the community. By making him a gay priest, the screenwriter makes him one of the powerless minority who struggle for power in society. Making him sexually active also presents him as a character in the minority in the power structure of the Catholic Church.
