In aqueous solution, the segmental mobility of PNIPAM exhibits a dramatic thermoreversible discontinuity at ca 32°C.
The tree in the foreground poses a dramatic depth discontinuity and is evident with the halo around the edge in Figure 4b.
Here we examine a motion stimulus in which the shift from foveal to peripheral viewing creates a dramatic spatial/temporal discontinuity.
The concept of saltation, however, is difficult to reconcile with the dominant and contrasting theory of gradualistic change (Synthetic Theory [2], [3]), which rejects the idea of a dramatic rate discontinuity between sister taxa.
Shapiro, Lu, Huang, Knight, and Ennis (2010) have recently examined a motion stimulus (the "curveball illusion") in which the shift from foveal to peripheral viewing results in a dramatic spatial/temporal discontinuity.
On the one hand, for many, religion provides a sanctuary from the "Sturm und Drang" of dramatic change and discontinuity, as well as feelings of security rooted in the anticipation of continuity.
Because some of these genomes are known to have average G + C contents that are substantially different from that in S. cerevisiae (Dietrich et al. 2004; Souciet et al. 2009) and in view of the dramatic G + C content discontinuity that was recently demonstrated in the Lachancea kluyveri genome (Payen et al. 2009), we wondered how the isochore structure of yeast genomes evolves.
The heads, which are between roughly 20 and 30 inches tall, display some striking stylistic discontinuities.
The unprecedented spatial resolution here employed revealed a nearly perfect parapatric distribution of mtDNA lineages in the evenly distributed Fucus ceranoides, set by two dramatic and very narrow (<40 km) phylogeographic discontinuities (between CAM and ANL and between CED and ORT).
Dramatic, dramatic, dramatic!
