In this, the distance spanned Arizona to New Mexico and Oklahoma, it spanned a morning and a lunch break and a telephone line, and it carried all the unanswered sadness of the lover left alone in bed, calling out a name.
Museum Mile, the stretch of Fifth Avenue from Eighty-second to 105th Street that is home to nine museums, might just as well refer to the distance spanned if you lined up, end to end, all the paperweights, mouse pads, and refrigerator magnets with reproductions of famous paintings on them.
Those exhales come from 680 games as a head coach in Division I, and a full understanding of the massive gulf — think the distance spanning Maryland and Madagascar — between a two-point win in Thursday's game, and what could easily have been a one-point loss.
So the energy cost can be divided in three contributions, according to the distance spanned in each of the countries crossed.
He said that he used to be in the British Army's elite parachute regiment and had been taught to shoot a target the size of playing card from a distance spanning three football pitches (360 metres)... Paul went on to tell me a story about when he was on a mission in Cambodia or Colombia (I can't remember which).
It is apparent that such constraints on the geographical distance spanned by links between nodes (viz., cost of wiring length) can give rise to clustering of connections among physically adjacent elements.
Because of the large evolutionary distance spanned by the clades of rope-builders, this would require that rope building was a truly ancestral trait dating back to the early diversification of the filamentous cyanobacteria.
An alternative possibility is that segregation of neurons into spatially localized communities minimizes the total cost associated with the wiring length (the physical distance spanned by connections between neurons).
However, the distance spanning these genes is different.
The mean physical distance spanned by 50 adjacent SNPs was 28.2 kb (range = 9.1 280 kb, standard deviation = 16.6 kb).
