Now Lincoln Center Theater and the company's house director, Bartlett Sher, are tackling Mr. Almodóvar's breakthrough hit, "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown," in musical form.
I'm reminded of Edward O. Bland's film "The Cry of Jazz," from 1959, in which he presciently contemplates the role that modern jazz (embodied, in the film, by Sun Ra and his band) would play in the civil-rights movement — and the inevitable breakdown in musical form and function that would result.
This came to a head in 2007 over the bleak My December, an album that opens with the girl who was meant to be America's sweetheart snarling " I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green" over grunge guitars, and ends with Irvine, a bare, flickering lightbulb of a ballad that sounds like a nervous breakdown in song form.
When the potential difference between the isolated anode and cathode (two iron rods) was high enough, the accumulated charges were discharged through electrical breakdown in the form of a spark, vaporizing the electrodes and nucleating primary particles of a few nanometers in diameter (before agglomeration).
Since 2009, VIDA: Women in Literary Arts has been gathering data on the number of men and women published by literary publications and publishing the gender breakdowns in the form of easily digestible pie charts.
This degradation occurs in sequential steps, bio-deterioration (altering the chemical and physical properties of the polymer), bio-fragmentation (polymer breakdown in a simpler form via enzymatic cleavage) and assimilation (uptake of molecules by microorganisms) and mineralization (production of oxidized metabolites (CO2, CH4, H2O) after degradation), which are shown in Fig. 3.
If the observed pH dependence of kFAD is due to the l-Orn or l-Lys ligand side-chain, then both facilitate C4a-OOH breakdown in their neutral forms.
Conversely, progressive phosphorylation of T60 and S64 throughout S phase mediates reduced binding to RPA and flag UNG2 for breakdown in G2 by forming a cyclin E/c-myc-like phosphodegron.
Here's a breakdown – in helpful pie chart form – of how we're willfully misinterpreting the shutdown.
When stomata eventually undergo a retarded form of chlorophyll breakdown in over-ripe bananas, their loss of function, and death, is marked by the appearance of "senescence-associated" dark spots,[ 22] which eventually coalesce to give a dark and leathery skin texture.
