In loose patch spike recordings, action potentials were detected and analyzed using a simple thresholding criterion in MATLAB (Mathworks, Natick, MA).
Our new fossil Chengia laxispicata gen. et sp. nov. bearing loose female spikes appears to be a missing link to the extant Ephedraceae with compact cones.
However, the decussately opposite bracts and loose female spikes with clear nodes and internodes are noticeably different from all known ephedroid fossils [ 52, 57] and extant Ephedra that bears female cones usually having 2 13 pairs/whorls of cone bracts but with only the uppermost pairs/whorls of bracts being fertile [ 4, 6, 7, 9].
In this paper, we study a new ephedroid macrofossil from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of western Liaoning Province, Northeast China, and name it Chengia laxispicata gen. et sp. nov.. Our new plant bears a comparatively complete, leafy shooting system with loose female spikes that allow us to discuss the evolution of female cones of the Ephedraceae.

After Hunter crashed into the fence, his spike shook loose.
The movie deteriorates when Ganesh enters politics, becoming a reforming populist hero to his people and a dangerous loose cannon to be spiked by the colonial administration and its native associates.
A. A single multiflora hyacinth bulb provides a double show -- a crowd of spikes holding loose, fragrant white, pink or blue flowers above and a tangle of bold white roots below.
Despite administration of antimicrobial drugs for presumed microbial sepsis, the following conditions developed over the next 72 hours: persistent spiking fevers; loose, nonbloody stools; splenomegaly; abdominal distension; and bilateral lower extremity edema.
When the current is increased such that the stable fixed point of Eqs. 1 and 2 looses stability, repetitive spiking ensues and the current at which this occurs is called the rheobase.
"A single engine has a bigger chance to spike the tire loose".
