Gender and Family in the Ivory Tower, career interruptions and time demands related to childbirth and childcare can play havoc with a scientist's CV, lowering the number of publications and leaving gaps at which evaluation committees may look askance.
Therefore, sufficient enhancement and suitable detection limits require not only efficient plasmonic response, typically obtained using anisotropic nanostructures containing sharp features or small gaps at which localized regions with higher electric fields are generated (hot spots), but also adsorption of the analyte molecules precisely at such hot spots.
Gap-detection sensitivity was measured by the gap length at which the psychometric function for each session reached the threshold, defined here as d′ = 1.
Use of the recently introduced concept of critical axon elongation, the gap length at which the probability of axonal outgrowth (reinnervation) across the gap is 50%, leads to generation of a normalized database that includes data from several independent investigators.
Performance threshold was defined as the fitted gap duration at which d′ = 1, which approximates a percent-gap rate of approximately 60%, given the mean population false alarm rate (FA rate M = 0.23) recorded across all stimulus types.
The maximum intensity of vibrational signals on a leaf without any contact with the vibrated leaf, measured directly as velocity at gap distances at which females were still responding, was in the velocity range between 10−6 and 10−7 m/sec at dominant frequencies between 220 250 Hz.
He was particularly put off by the right-center-field gap at Petco, which measures 400 feet to the fence.
Bloomberg put the size of the gap at $4.8 billion, which is, by coincidence, roughly the size of his own personal fortune... Depending once again on how you count, the mayoralty is either Bloomberg's third or fourth career.
It is also likely to increase the young Mr Kim's credibility gap at home, which may make him more repressive.Internationally, having launched the missile, North Korea faces possible rebuke, if not further sanctions, after a proposed meeting of the UN Security Council on April 13th.
