In part, the humor derives from Marco's subdued response to these attentions, and Coppola's off-beat observation of people around him.
But mostly, the book rockets along, powered by the high octane of Cohen's candor, and by off-beat observations that are more essayistic than narrative.
I'm talking about telling stories by playing DJ to the beat of human observation.
Yes, you'll want to see data and hear reports but nothing beats first-hand observation.
At E10.5, a stage when a defect of trabeculation was evident in mutant embryos by histological analysis (Fig. 2C), the ventricle of Fhod3 −/− embryos twitched only for the first 15 20 min after removal of the yolk sac, whereas the heart of wild-type embryos continued to beat vigorously during the observation period (15 20 min) (Fig. 2D, lower panels; supplementary material Movies 5, 6).
Lowenstam's observation of beating gills led Lindberg and Ponder (1996) to restudy the arrangement of the kidneys, gills, and auricles of N. galatheae (Lemche and Wingstrand 1959: Fig. 144) and to propose a new functional and evolutionary scenario for the monoplacophorans "gills".
The cardiac markers α-myosin heavy chain (MHC) and α-actinin were used instead of microscopical observation of beating EBs to determine cardiac differentiation after application of the test substances, and quantification of marker gene expression by FACS was performed after labelling of cells (Seiler et al. 2004; Seiler et al. 2006).
It all depends on observation: as you beat in the last egg or two, proceed gradually.
In our study, the repolarization time was significantly prolonged in cultured LQT2-specific cardiac cells, compared with control cells, at low beating rates, and this is consistent with the clinical observation that, at slow beating rate, the QT interval is prolonged more in LQT2 patients compared with healthy individuals (Swan et al., 1999).
They can provide, in theory, the best localization for beats in the signal under observation.
The first model assumes that Pc1 waves propagated from a latitudinally extended source with different frequencies at different latitudes to the observation points, representing beating of these waves in the ionosphere.
