Some people are measuring gonad weights and lengths, which gives reproductive information about the sharks," said Michelle, a scientist from UMass Amherst.
Compared to terrestrial carnivorans, the fore-limbs of otariids are reduced in length, which gives the locomotor muscles at the shoulder and elbow joints greater mechanical advantage; the hind-flippers serve as stabilizers.
We identified 102 genomic regions of at least one kilobase in length which gave no BLASTN matches against previously sequenced Pseudomonas genomes (Additional file 3: Table S2).
To assess the length-dependence of posttetanic response, twitch contractions at 10 s intervals were obtained at a variety of sarcomere lengths both prior to (Pt) and following (Pt*) a tetanic contraction which was elicited at optimal length (the length which gave the strongest tetanic contraction).
The total on-resistances for different channel lengths (Rtot W, normalized for channel width) were extracted from the low- VD region of the output curves and extrapolated to zero channel length, which gives the total contact resistance (source + drain) RC W. This method was originally developed to extract the contact resistance in thin film transistors but can also be applied to SWNT networks.
Each set of multiplex PCR primers were designed to give a logarithmic progression of DNA product sizes, ranging from 200 bp to 650 bp in length, which gave regular spacing of marker bands when products were size-separated by agarose gel electrophoresis.
People who write by ear, as Twain did, are often really writing by eye; the variations in sentence length and syllable count, which give the effect of speech, depend on seeing the sentences set down.
"I like mascaras which give length and volume without clumping and I always find that the drugstore ones just don't deliver," Ambrozy told HuffPost.
These characteristics include, inter alia: relatively small land areas, coastlines of moderate length, and large EEZs which give a disproportionately high ratio between the EEZ and land areas, especially for countries in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific (Table 1); high levels of dependence on fish for food (Table 3); important fish and aquaculture production.
However, these figures are substantially lower for the other examples, which give gene lengths of more average size (about 3.4 kb; somewhat above the mean gene lengths for the species; see Table 1).
