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.
Symbol grounding is the connection of symbols, such as written or spoken words, with the objects, ideas or events to which they refer.he AI is able to manipulate symbols that have meaning to an outside observer, but it does not have a semantic understanding of the the symbols. Therefore, the AI can not be said to possess consciousness, because it does not actually interpret the symbols or understand to what they refer. It does not achieve semiosis.
