A piece like "Apex" might suggest a pattern dance, but it needs more to match John Adams's minimalist music ("The Chairman Dances") than to repeat tricks on ladders.
As in the origin of a leaf, generally the outer cell layers contribute to the surface tissues of the new apex by maintaining a consistent pattern of divisions.
Both stems displayed a spiral fracture pattern with the apex of fracture 3 cm below the lesser trochanter.
The main ribs are intersected by additional non-supporting ribs known as "lierne ribs" and which in this case form a star-shaped pattern at the apex of the vault.
In combination, data shown in Figure 4 support assumption one of our model by (i) showing that the main apex can regulate the branching pattern, (ii) providing evidence that the main apex is an auxin source, and (iii) showing that apically applied auxin can suppress branching.
Differences in the temporal activity patterns of the apex predators and mesocarnivores supported a hypothesis of temporal niche partitioning.
An ANOVA of the mean bone loss in the three different skeletal patterns at the apex, mid-root, and alveolar crest showed no significance at the apex and alveolar crest, but there was a significant difference at the mid-root.
The most prominent wear facet is on the apex, though unlike all other wear patterns observed within sauropods, Diplodocus wear patterns are on the labial (cheek) side of both the upper and lower teeth.
Spatial patterns as compared to APEX data were similar, whereas absolute radiance values differed slightly, depending on wavelength.
Bishopp et al. (2011) showed that cytokinins moving from the shoot to the root via the phloem play a role in vascular patterning of the root apex.
Its surface has faint longitudinal ridges, a fine powdering, and fine reticulations (a net-like pattern of ridges) at the apex.
