Behavioral results reflect robust distance effects (quicker reaction times for long distances relative to short ones) and size congruity effects (longer reaction times for incongruent relative to congruent stimuli) in both tasks.
She writes that "these long-distance relatives bolster the notion that the climate of the time had hot blips that allowed warmth-loving giant insects to spread from continent to continent".
My husband and I decided this year that we are not buying any meaningless presents or fruit baskets for our long-distance relatives (all of whom have more money than we do).
Like checking your car's oil and calling long-distance relatives, conducting a self-audit of your credit cards is a good regular habit to keep at least every few months.
A ballerina could stream live video behind the scenes and onstage, a tourist in Thailand could ask Google to translate "delicious" while eating noodles on a boat or a family could video chat with a long-distance relative on her birthday.
More specifically, flying was considered a luxury or something you did only when a long-distance relative died -- a relative you really, really loved.
The higher activity of open-space foragers on more isolated islands in Panama [21] speaks to their ability to travel long distances with relative ease.
Constance Row, executive director of the American Academy of Home Care Physicians in Maryland, noted: "Many of them are now taking care of aging relatives long distance and are seeking referrals for doctors who make house calls, particularly in the Northeast, which has a long tradition of house calls.
Because of the use of dual infrared receivers, the influence of surface reflection properties on the accuracy of the distance measurement is significantly reduced and the measurement accuracy is greatly improved over a relative long distance.
Species that have no long-distance migratory relatives, such as the waxwings Bombycilla, are effectively moving in response to winter weather and the loss of their usual winter food, rather than enhanced breeding opportunities.
This vascular architecture, combined with long intervascular distances relative to the oxygen diffusion distance (Thomlinson and Gray, 1955), intravascular gradients of oxygen tension (Dewhirst et al, 1999) and increased blood viscosity (Kavanagh et al, 1993), contributes to the presence of regions of persistent low oxygen tension, or chronic hypoxia (Dewhirst, 1998).
