Sisters Of Mercy Of St
A sister is a woman or a girl who shares one or more parents with another individual; a female sibling. The male counterpart is a brother. Although the term typically refers to a familial relationship, it is sometimes used endearingly to refer to non-familial relationships. A full sister is a first degree relative. Overview The English word ''sister'' comes from Old Norse systir which itself derives from Proto-Germanic *swestēr, both of which have the same meaning, i.e. sister. Some studies have found that sisters display more traits indicating jealousy around their siblings than their male counterparts, brothers. In some cultures, sisters are afforded a role of being under the protection by male siblings, especially older brothers from issues ranging from bullies or sexual advances by womanizers. In some quarters the term ''sister'' has gradually broadened its colloquial meaning to include individuals stipulating kinship. In response, in order to avoid equivocation, some pu ...

Molecular Borromean Rings
In chemistry, molecular Borromean rings are an example of a mechanically-interlocked molecular architecture in which three macrocycles are interlocked in such a way that breaking any macrocycle allows the others to dissociate. They are the smallest examples of Borromean rings. The synthesis of molecular Borromean rings was reported in 2004 by the group of J. Fraser Stoddart. The so-called Borromeate is made up of three interpenetrated macrocycles formed through templated self assembly as complexes of zinc. The synthesis of the macrocyclic systems involves self-assembles of two organic building blocks: 2,6-diformylpyridine (an aromatic compound with two aldehyde groups positioned '' ortho'' to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring) and a symmetric diamine containing a ''meta''-substituted 2,2'-bipyridine group. Zinc acetate is added as the template for the reaction, resulting in one zinc cation in each of the six pentacoordinate complexation sites. Trifluoroacetic acid (TF ...

Borromean Rings
In mathematics, the Borromean rings are three simple closed curves in three-dimensional space that are topologically linked and cannot be separated from each other, but that break apart into two unknotted and unlinked loops when any one of the three is cut or removed. Most commonly, these rings are drawn as three circles in the plane, in the pattern of a Venn diagram, alternatingly crossing over and under each other at the points where they cross. Other triples of curves are said to form the Borromean rings as long as they are topologically equivalent to the curves depicted in this drawing. The Borromean rings are named after the Italian House of Borromeo, who used the circular form of these rings as a coat of arms, but designs based on the Borromean rings have been used in many cultures, including by the Norsemen and in Japan. They have been used in Christian symbolism as a sign of the Trinity, and in modern commerce as the logo of Ballantine beer, giving them the alternative ...

Borromean Clinic
The Borromean clinic is a model of psychoanalytic practice advanced in the late work of Jacques Lacan. It takes its name from the Borromean knot. The Lacanian model describes the 3 rings that make up that knot at the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real. The interconnectedness of all 3 is crucial to perceiving reality accurately, and cutting the ties of a single ring causes the others to also become disconnected, resulting in a disturbed perception of reality and possibly psychosis. In 1975, Jacques Lacan added a fourth ring to his theory which the conclusion that the fourth ring was responsible for locking up the psyche. Jacques was also a strong believer in Sigmund Freud's work and was heavily influenced by Freud's original work in psychoanalytic theory.
