abstractreincarnation is one of the widespread issues which are under consideration in various and especially non- abrahamic religions. one disputable matter in islam is metamorphosis. explaining the issue and answering the related questions according to the different intellectual principles, and the correct understanding or the wrong perception of metamorphosis have all caused the emergence of...

in this essay, the metamorphosis technique in animation is treated as a metaphoric structure, using visual or conceptual similarities between two shapes to express poetic imagination. this structure makes metamorphosis technique comparable with poem and dreams.  this project has been carried out using the data available in books, articles and other published documents and movies. the data has b...

when kafka started to write the metamorphosis as an allegory in 1912, he had a concealed purpose and aim in his mind. he has described his own idea and somehow himself in metamorphosis. in other words, his attitude in metamorphosis is the reflection of himself. gregor samsa, the main character in the story, is a hardworking person who loves his family. he takes no notice of enjoyment in his lif...

1. It is poorly understood which traits translate larval stressors into adult fitness in animals where larval and adult stages are separated by metamorphosis. Although fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is often assumed to do so, especially in insects the relationship between larval stress, adult FA and individual quality is often absent. One suggested hypothesis for this is the higher mortality of low...

Metamorphosis in amphibians presents a unique problem for the developing immune system. Because tadpoles are free-living, they need an immune system to protect against potential pathogens. However, at metamorphosis, they acquire a variety of new adult-specific molecules to which the tadpole immune system must become tolerant. We hypothesized that Xenopus laevis tadpoles may avoid potentially de...

metamorphosis of human is of those subjects mentioned in the holy qur'an. it is essentially different with what meant by incarnation in other religions and schools. different views have been expressed about what the explanation of metamorphosis is, and how the change and conversion happens, whether it is external and in the appearance, or it is internal and in the character of human. this ...

Most marine invertebrate species exhibit a complex life cycle including a planktonic larval phase and a benthic juvenileadult phase. Metamorphosis and settlement are the links between these phases of development. In many species, metamorphosis is triggered by specific chemical and/or physical cues, mainly associated with the adult habitat. In the absence of such cues, competent larvae can delay...

Microorganisms have been reported to induce settlement and metamorphosis in a wide range of marine invertebrate species. However, the primary cue reported for metamorphosis of coral larvae is calcareous coralline algae (CCA). Herein we report the community structure of developing coral reef biofilms and the potential role they play in triggering the metamorphosis of a scleractinian coral. Two-w...
