By doing so, we observed two effects of increasing contrast: an increase in the strength of surround suppression and a decrease in the preferred stimulus size.
The experiments were designed to contrast two accounts of the AV facilitation effect (AV peak listening and AV grouping).
This paper contrasts two modes of innovation.
The contrasting immunomodulatory effects of these two separate clades provide a prominent example how different lineages within a single bacterial species can benefit the host by different mechanisms.
Field studies were conducted from 1997 to 1999 to contrast the effects of two insect growth regulators (IGRs) and conventional insecticides on natural enemy conservation in cotton within the context of alternative management strategies for Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius).
We ran simulations to contrast the effects of five different imposed stresses: reduced egg laying rate (ELR) of the queen, increased daily larval mortality, increased daily in-hive worker mortality, and increased forager mortality, applied daily or applied on each foraging trip.
By carefully contrasting the different effects of these two hedgehog inhibitors, we demonstrate that, although formation of testis cords and development of other cell types normally take place in a tightly regulated sequence, each of these events can occur independent of the others.
Taken together, although overall short-term in vitro growth (MTT assay) is similar between the two cell types due to contrasting effects of BTK knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis, long-term in vitro clonogenicity potential was impaired due to their higher apoptosis rate and lack of supportive microenvironment.
The contrasting behavior thus appears as the superposition of the two effects in both steps.
Case studies and published literature are used to illustrate the contrasting effects of disturbance in the three climate zones.
In this paper, we contrasted the hydrologic effects of two conventional approaches to urban stormwater management – (a) drainage-efficiency focused and (b) pollutant-load-reduction focused – identifying their shortcomings and contrasting their hydrologic outcomes with those of a proposed alternative approach focused on restoring important elements of the natural flow regime.
