The detachment may be caused by the difference in the sinking rates along the subducting plate between deep and shallow part of the slab.
Having in mind that the only change between the models C1 and C2 was redistribution of the relatively small flux (1.33% of RuBP synthesis) and slight difference in the PGA sink (1.1%, values after 3 hours of the simulation), the ratios of both the total mass production and sum of sinks show dynamic changes for several hours of the simulation, see Figure 7.
Three types of heat source (hot plate, film heater and copper block with cartridge heaters), two types of piping (polymer and metal), and the presence or absence of manifolds were investigated and the differences in heat sink performance were noted.
The yield gaps between Huaiji, Binyang and Haikou and Changsha were attributed to the differences in sink (spikelets m−2) and biomass production (source), whereas the yield gap between Changsha and Xingyi was caused by the differences in sink, source and flow (grain-filling percentage, grain weight and harvest index).
However, when Changsha and Xingyi were compared, the differences in sink size, spikelet filling percentage and grain weight were attributed to the yield gap between them.
Differences in pistil development between these two types of flowers have been related to differences in their sink strength [ 32].
Nevertheless, even under condition of unlimited carbohydrate availability, as in thinned trees, differences in fruit sink activity result in substantial variations in fruit sugars.
A signal of how far euro zone governments are prepared to sink their differences in the face of a common challenge will probably come from Copenhagen this weekend.
To elucidate the factors influencing the differing SARs between typical indica and japonica cultivars, we focused on differences in sink potentials, especially on starch synthesis in the endosperm.
To determine the amount that Venice is sinking, the researchers measured differences in the signals returning from the city relative to those returning from nearby areas, a method called interferometry.
