(Rosenberg) Last Chance American Folk Art Museum: 'Artist and Visionary: William Matthew Prior Revealed' (closes on Sunday) William Matthew Prior (1806-73), the subject of this fascinating exhibition, painted portraits in the "American primitive" mode.
Moreover, it has become an article of faith that any move toward a more open or "pluralist" approach to economics portends regression to "pre-scientific" modes of thought, just as the results of the European Parliament election threaten to revive a more primitive mode of politics.
Scanning the 40 portrait paintings on view, you will observe many in the "American primitive" mode, the seemingly naïve style in which people are described in simplified, flat forms and without the refinements of light, space, detail and texture that technically sophisticated artists use to create lifelike realism.
For Dilthey, myth is not a primitive mode of religion as is often thought, but a primitive mode of scientific theory.
We report an alternative method for the isolation and the perpetuation of a multipotent hNSC line from the hESCs with a primitive mode of self-renewal.
These are very important findings that significantly reinforce the idea that L-form growth represents a primitive mode of proliferation that was likely used by the last common ancestor of bacteria and this should be discussed.
While lentic eggs and tadpoles (mode 1 sensu Duellman and Trueb 1994) are seen as the primitive mode of reproduction in anurans, frogs have evolved many remarkably diverse responses to specific threats to eggs and tadpoles, the most vulnerable life stages (cf. Crump 1974; Magnusson and Hero 1991; Brown et al. 2010).
Thus it appears that evolutionarily divergent bacteria, with different envelope structures (e.g. Gram-positive and Gram-negative), shape (e.g. rod vs sphere), and different modes of cell wall extension (e.g. lateral and apical) have retained a common primitive mode of proliferation when forced to grow in the absence of a cell wall.
It is the case that a wide range of suspension-feeding deuterostomes, notably enteropneusts, most urochordates (apart from salps; see below), amphioxus and by implication extinct gill-bearing echinoderms, employed ciliary mechanisms, and this would accord with a consensus that among the deuterostomes the primitive mode of feeding was passive.
In the spherically symmetric nanoshells, multipoles of the primitive plasmon modes can interact only with modes of the same order: dipolar sphere modes hybridize only with dipolar cavity modes, for example.
