This measure has been used previously with adolescents for this purpose [ 54] and has been demonstrated to be sensitive to short-term change [ 52, 53].
The brain appears to be sensitive to short-term variation in the availability of glucose and the degree of mental effort or cognitive demand involved in tasks is important in determining those susceptible to the effects of glucose.
We find that plasmonic waves transporting along one atomic-thick graphene are sensitive to short nanoribbons which are arranged near the infinite graphene sheet.
In the figure, S, M, and L stand for the responses of cones that are sensitive to short, medium, and long wavelengths of light.
For example, cryptochromes (Cry) are sensitive to short wavelengths, and melanopsin (OPN4) and vertebrate ancient (VA) opsins possess λmax close to 480 nm, with a spectrum ranging from 460 to 500 nm (Peirson et al., 2009).
107, 137, 138 β cells are sensitive to short pulses in cytokine concentrations, as incubation of islets with IL-1 for one-hour results in inhibition of insulin secretion in a nitric oxide dependent manner 18 h after cytokine removal.
Using this approach we find that, unlike in human cells, P. falciparum is sensitive to short-term inhibition of the β5 subunit, and this sensitivity is most pronounced during parasite schizogony.
In the wild, plants recognize when to go dormant by being sensitive to shorter days, lower temperatures or reduced rainfall.
Small upland catchments are sensitive to short-duration and high-intensity convective storms, which are known to trigger catastrophic flash floods and debris-flows during spring and summer.
SEDFLUX includes the effects of sea-level fluctuations, river floods, ocean storms, and other relevant environmental factors (climate trends, random catastrophic events), at a time step (daily to yearly) that is sensitive to short-term variations of the seafloor.
