These assays revealed that bites were aimed either to the linear heat source or to its proximity (Figure 1), with a mean distance of 1.6±0.6 mm between the spot contacted by the proboscis and the linear source.
Control assays keeping the linear heat source at the same temperature as the background (i.e., 33°C), revealed a quite homogeneous distribution of bites, with mean distance of 5.4±2.2 mm between the linear source and the spot contacted by the proboscis of bugs (Figure. 1).
When insects were confronted to artificial linear heat sources presenting a temperature gradient against the background, most bites were directly addressed to the warmer linear source, notwithstanding the temperature of both, the source and the background.
Solutions to these models are either by linear approximations of the non-linear source, by other approximations of such non-linearity, or by numerical methods that frequently are heavily dependent of the mesh size for a successful convergence.
The identified aerodynamic parameters further indicated that the mechanism of post-flutter LCOs was due to the negative aerodynamic damping provided by the linear term as an energy source to drive the growth of vibration amplitude and the nonlinear positive aerodynamic damping provided by the 3rd order angular velocity term as a stabilizing factor of self-limitation phenomenon.
In addition, the robustness and accuracy of the eigenvalues obtained with respect to different locations of source points by the linear LSMFS in conjunction with direct determinant search method are also revisited.
Murphy started with the color bar artwork Thelonious had sent over (bottom) and made an animated base out of the linear art source.
Again, most bites where directed towards the linear heat source.
Here, differential Granger causality maps (dGCM) were computed for each source voxel with an order of 1 TR (1.3s) by computing the linear direct influence of source to target (I→J) and of target to source (J→I), and subtracting the latter from the former.
Antibodies generated by the linear or cyclic SV loop peptides were not bactericidal, however, even when rabbit serum was used as a complement source to by-pass the host-restricted serum resistance of this strain.
