A slope of â3.322 means that the PCR has an efficiency of 1, or 100%, and the amount of PCR product doubles during each cycle. A slope of less than â3.322 (e.g., â3.8) is indicative of a PCR efficiency <1.
In short, a characteristic of symbolic conflict is that it takes the form of a zero-sum game in which ratios and not quantities of symbolic capital are at issue, and in which any gain to one group or actor can only be made at the expense of some other or others (cf. Bourdieu 1990: 121).n fact, a case could be made for considering them as the 'same' ritual and the conflict as a proprietary contest, a struggle for the control of this shared cultural object (see Harrison 1992). But, again, the Eucharist is best regarded as a class or family of symbolic objects having both resemblances and differences.
From Vygotskyâs viewpoint, symbolic play is essential to the development of language because it provides the means for the development of representational thought. The child is able to use the word âchairâ as a symbol for the object and can do so with meaning attached.opple, Cocking, and Matthews (1984) discovered in their research of cognitive activity in symbolic play that as a child bridges the gap as to what an object whould be like and what is at hand, he uses oral language.
