In this cultural milieu, interpretation is always an overtly political act that carries its own germs of denial and dissolution.
Such is the germ's strength that it induces a dream-like state of narcosis in the corridors of power.
In particular, there exist no parabolic curves for such germs.
They argued that germs were a peculiar sort of chemical agent that played the role of independent biochemical agents in processes of fermentation and putrefaction.
A strong body can tolerate some disease germs that would destroy a weaker body.
The argument was that tuberculosis germs, like alcohol, could gradually destroy parts of the brain and result in serious psychological changes.
The analytical classification is more complicated; we can express the invariants as a collection (changes of charts) of one-variable germs of diffeomorphisms.
Moreover, the cyclic order of the germs of those edges is the same as of their images.
Since there are only three germs of 2-components incident to each edge, these two cyclic orderings either agree or disagree.
The definition of division neighborhood is intended to extend the division of germs to bigger domains.
In this paper we generalize some of the above results to the more general class of analytically irreducible quasi-ordinary hypersurface germs.
Such advances have already been publicised as being able to breed speck-like robots that will be able to hunt down germs in the human body.
