A mace head, a high-status object comparable to a sceptre, and a little bowl burnt on one side, which he believes may have held incense, suggest the dead could have been religious and political leaders and their immediate families.
Although the mechanisms underlying object sensitivity of the FD-cell have not yet been unravelled in detail, simple models have been proposed that can explain a preference for objects comparable to that of FD-cells.
"The more we learn about asteroid impacts, the clearer it becomes that the human race has been living on borrowed time," said May. "We are currently aware of less than 1% of objects comparable to the one that impacted at Tunguska, and nobody knows when the next big one will hit.
and rapid prototyping provided by 3D printers has improved the ability to fabricate objects comparable to human parts in micro and macro architecture scales.
That object, comparable in weight to the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, came crashing back to Earth two and a half weeks later, close to the northeast coast of South America with hardly a media ripple.
On the day of test, when one of the two objects was replaced with a new object, Salm3−/− mice showed novel object preference comparable to that of WT mice.
The dimensions of this object are comparable to those of an improvised explosive device or a pressure-activable mine.
On the very first training session, Group Familiar showed levels of object recognition comparable to those of Group Novel, as expected.
In addition, when one of the two objects was translocated or displaced to a new position in the same box in a spatial version of the object preference test (Dix and Aggleton, 1999), Salm3−/− mice preferred to explore the displaced object to an extent comparable to that of WT mice.
Here, too, GBPVC leads to distinctly larger errors for small target structures, while the deviation for larger objects is comparable to the deviation observed with LBPVC.
The impacting object probably had a mass comparable to that of Mars, and the impact probably occurred near the end of the period of giant impacts.
