Because the model provides a time series of hydrologic variables affecting surface wetness at hourly and daily intervals, it captures the expansion and contraction of saturated surface regions (i.e., breeding pools) at rates that impact mosquito development.
Palaniyappan, L., Mallikarjun, P., Joseph, V., White, T. P. & Liddle, P. F. Regional contraction of brain surface area involves three large-scale networks in schizophrenia.
Lobate scarps, discovered by Mariner 10, are the dominant tectonic landform across the planet and collectively record greater contraction of the surface than inferred from Mariner 10 images.
Since wetting process generally leads to two competitive deformation, elastic swelling due to the diminution of suction and additional plastic flow due to the diminution of plastic yield stress (contraction of yield surface), the plastic compaction would outweigh elastic swelling if a threshold value of suction can be achieved.
To compensate for the enhanced electronic charge density due to contraction of the surface layers in Au-Cu (100) and Au-Fe (100), the second Au layer was seen to spread out with 3.47% and 3.82% away from the third metal layer, respectively.
The spacecraft also completed a 360-degree panorama, showing what Peter H. Smith of the University of Arizona, the principal investigator, described as a "hummocky terrain" — mostly flat with slight bumps and troughs caused by the expansion and contraction of under-surface ice.
It is found that the surface relaxation results in rumpling of the (001) and (110) surfaces and the contraction of the (111) surfaces.
Plants showed significant morphological changes in total shoot length, number of newly recruited shoots and expansion or contraction of the leaf surface area due to the epiphytic algal load and low light condition.
The HP HG presented the greatest contraction of the distal surface of the first molar, followed by the LP HG, with 52.5 (CDL) to 69.8 % (CDB) of HP HG contraction, and by the CP HG, with 47.9 (CDL) to 53.3%% (CDB) of HP contraction.
These differences of adhesion to host are also reflected in the contraction of several cell surface proteins including carbohydrate-binding WSC domain containing proteins and GLEYA proteins in nematode endoparasitic fungus compared with adhesive trapping fungi.
