(a) Uniform configuration and its corresponding (b) nonuniform configuration for two subchannels.
Based on some well-known literature experiments, an experimental setup was designed to achieve the free surface flow of a viscous fluid in a steady and uniform configuration.
To set the positions of the 3 G T genes in space, we compared three scenarios that correspond to various degrees of mixing: The uniform configuration corresponds to a perfect mixing of the genes: all 3 G T gene copies are positioned at independent randomly-chosen locations.
The spatial configuration of the genes corresponded to the (a") uniform, (b") clustered (r =3) or (c") segregated (r =3) configuration, corresponding to the FZCA points labelled (a"), (b") and (c"), respectively in Figure 5 B. Here, G T =1, while all other parameters were according to the standard set defined in the Methods section.
The uniform configuration corresponds to a perfect mixing of the genes: all 3 G T gene copies are positioned at independent randomly-chosen locations.
Members of the deepwater bottom-dwelling Triacanthodidae, the most primitive family, for example, range from relatively normal configurations to weirdly specialized forms with extremely long tubular snouts; the shallow-water members of the Triacanthidae, which share generalized characteristics with the Triacanthodidae, are of rather uniform configuration.
One the other hand, with standard parameters (i.e. G T =5 copies of each gene), the above results show that the dynamics of the uniform configuration is essentially identical to the clustered configuration.
In the uniform configuration, the autocorrelation function has a shape typical of oscillatory time series.
However, except agriculture, patches of forestry and urban spaces tended to have a uniform landscape configuration.
Curiously, the uniform configuration was chosen initially by Bruce Crowder, a former Lowell head coach who once wore the black and gold of the Boston Bruins.
