Sentence examples for bout size from inspiring English sources

That is, for a given threshold value, θi, the lower the driving rate the greater the standardised bout size.

However, the standardised bout size is not a simple function of the threshold of the active ant, but also depends upon how fast the system is driven.

Bout size in particular may be relevant to excessive consumption, as a "gulping" (large bout size) phenotype in primates has been shown to predict risk for heavy drinking (Grant et al. 2008).

In animal studies, lickometer chambers record individual contacts made to the sipper tube and therefore provide continuous consumption data that can be analyzed for measures, such as drinking bout size, duration, or interbout interval (e.g., Ford et al. 2005).

Rodent studies reinforce the genetic basis of these differences because DBA/2J mice show larger bouts than C57BL/6J mice in an intragastric self-administration procedure (Fidler et al., in press), and most high-drinking rodent genotypes seem to show greater bout size (Samson 2000).

What you have is a portion / Bout the size of the hats in the back of my Porsche and / So you better use caution".

The reported 55-min effect (95% CI: 11 99min) is based on the within-nest comparison (paired t-test) of mean length of untreated incubation bouts and mean length of insulated incubation bouts (which crucially included some control bouts outside the two 48-h periods to increase the sample size incubation bouts).

We calculated the following measures: (i) the total amount of time spent singing; (ii) the number of song bouts; (iii) the duration of each song bout and iv) repertoire size.

It has been conjectured that the CLT has the potential to provide benefits for group living in some animals via greater predictability in food acquisition, if the number of foraging bouts increases with group size.

Males in the group which received the mixture of chemicals spent more time singing, sang more song bouts, sang longer song bouts and had a larger repertoire size, a measure of song complexity, than males in the control group.

For εs+εF = 1, the ratio between intrinsic foraging and scanning bouts durations shapes the group size effect (see also Supporting information S3, Eq. (S.11.c)).
