Sentence examples for discharge distance from inspiring English sources

The maximum ionic wind velocity was measured to be 2.97m/s at a 15 mm discharge distance and 17 kV applied voltage.

Differences in discharge distance among the basidiomycetes might, therefore, have evolved via adaptive changes in these features of spore architecture.

So how is discharge distance attuned to the diversity of ecological challenges and fruiting body morphology among the 30,000 species of ballistosporic Basidiomycota?

Furthermore, because the size of Buller's drop is controlled by spore shape, these experiments suggest that seemingly minor changes in spore morphology exert major effects upon discharge distance.

It seems possible, therefore, that changes in the size of Buller's drop have served as a more significant variable in the evolution of discharge distance.

Analysis of these video data and mathematical modeling show that discharge distance is determined by both spore size and the size of the Buller's drop.

This physical principle is reflected in measurements of discharge distances obtained from 37 mushroom species by Zoberi [10].

In gilled mushrooms, for example, discharge distances of <0.1 mm ensure that spores do not collide with opposing gill surfaces.

Greater discharge distances correlated with faster launch speeds, and the predicted ranges were corroborated by direct measurements of spore ranges from video recordings of discharge in the three species with the smallest spores (Table 1, Fig. 1c).

The surface tension catapult is not capable of the discharge distances characteristic of squirt gun mechanisms like the explosive asci of ascomycete fungi and the sporangiophore of Pilobolus [8].

The agreement between the discharge distances predicted from our velocity data using Stokes drag and the measured ranges is remarkably good, given that the video recordings are limited to the initial launch events (Fig. 2).
