Both the strict and broad definitions incorporate requirements for adaptations or resource allocations that result in the active attraction, capture, and/or digestion of prey.
A newly formed small planet, for example, may not exert enough gravitational attraction to capture the light gases hydrogen and helium.
Even if the young nobodies are exceedingly talented, the stage presence of the headliner, nine times out of ten, identifies them as the Main Attraction; they capture every eye in the room, becoming the Copernican center, red shifting the audience away from themselves and the real world and towards the artist's gravity.
Perhaps alone among the fair's attractions, the New York State Pavilion captured the ironic stance.
The electrochemical sensing of different analytes with metal oxide modified electrodes by various mechanisms viz., free radial, catalytic, ion exchange, mixed ligand, ion association, etc., captured explicit attraction in the field of catalysis.
We evaluated MOP for attraction (i.e., numbers captured) of gravid females whereas previous reports measured the effect of MOP and other attractants on egg laying.
The reasons why some flu strains are more pathogenic than others is a complex issue involving specific details of host-virus interactions, but the model we propose has the attraction of capturing (on a simple criterion of pathogenicity, at least) evolution to generally less-pathogenic strains.
If the moving separatrix encounters a trajectory at one of the points that are being recruited into a different basin of attraction, a capture event will take place.
I passed the Last Inn In England, rolled into Land's End, crossed the start/finish line painted on the road, and pedalled past attractions designed to capture the essence of such a raw and elemental spot – Doctor Who Up Close, The West Country Shopping Village, The Last Labyrinth – beyond which was the dull business of mighty waves crashing against cliffs and the maelstrom of colliding seas.
