Stolen moments From the evidence of the preview build I had a hands-on with, Thief contains the odd brief linear passage, which helps move the narrative along, but once Garrett is in view of a building that houses a valuable item he's after – whether it's part of a side task or a story mission – Thief's structure opens up.
The linear passage of time is as frightening as it is inevitable, but to artist Sarah Sze, this is only a fragment of time's complexity.
It appeals to our intuitions of a linear passage of time.
Finally, such a dedicated timing mechanism appeals to our intuitions of a consistent, linear passage of time.
Experimental psychology and neuroscience have, like physics, challenged some of our intuitive notions of a constant and linear passage of time, and have begun to elucidate some of the mechanisms by which the brain may represent time.
In contrast, the AFiPSC transcriptomes are distinct from those of primary AFCs at passage 6 (average linear R2≈0.67) and passage 17 (average linear R2≈0.50) (Figure 4A, B).
Another important pest is the spinach leaf miner (Pegomya hyoscyami), which produces blotches or linear mines (internal passages) on spinach leaves.
HBC, human breast cancer; HBC-n, HBC primary tumor n; HBCx-n, HBC xenograft tumor; LumA, luminal A; LumB, luminal B; meta, metastasis; P, passage Linear regression analysis was performed to study the global gene expression pattern in xenografts versus primary tumors.
This was caused by a linear increase in starch passage rate, possibly because of increasing ruminal fill, and a linear decrease in digestion rate of starch in the rumen, possibly because of reduced amylolytic enzyme activity for lower-starch diets.
Processes involving cell proliferation are shown to be "nonlinear" (even though mean-field equations for the expected particle numbers are linear) resulting in first passage time statistics that depend on the position of the bottleneck or oasis.
