passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

Enzyme histochemistry of skeletal muscle.

This is the first of three papers on the application of enzyme histochemical techniques to the study of developing and diseased muscle. This paper will deal with developing muscle in various laboratory animals, the second with developing human muscle, and the third with hereditary neurogenic atrophies in infancy and childhood. In 1678 Stefano Lorenzini had already observed that animal muscle co...

Postnatal muscle fibre histochemistry in the rat.

Histochemical techniques were used to study the postnatal muscle fibre differentiation patterns in the plantaris and soleus muscles of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Nine groups of animals (n = 6/group) were killed at 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, and 140 days of age. Serial transverse sections of the two muscles were stained with H & E, NADH-D, and myofibrillar ATPase with acid (pH 4.35) or alkali ...

The Use of OsO4 Fixative for Feulgen-Stained Preparations

OsO(4) has many advantages over Carnoy's fixative mixture for the Feulgen nuclear staining in the protozoan Tokophrya infusionum. While Carnoy's fluid used prior to the Feulgen reaction produces shrinkage of the macronucleus and coarse clumping of its chromatin bodies, OsO(4) preserves faithfully the size and shape of the macronucleus and its chromatin material. This finding seems to be of spec...
