The apparent coevolution of brains, social structure and behavioural richness of marine mammals provides a unique and striking parallel to the large brains and hyper-sociality of humans and other primates.
In other words, it's about how they construct a world parallel to the larger one, carving out an intensely individual space and defining themselves through their shared visions and actions, which means that the movie is also very much about creation as an act of self-creation.
Meditation provides a small scale parallel to the larger enterprise of defusing negative thinking by teaching us to effectively manage the random thoughts interfering with mindfulness.
In this case, parallel to the large-scale divergence of treatment means of parasite load and virulence towards different adaptive peaks, local-scale selection may be operating to compensate costs of virulence.
Following initial surface breaks parallel to the trench, large fault-tip stress concentrations may help reactivate the pre-existing fabrics to develop the fault trace geometry found in the survey area (Figure 1).
This applies especially in formations with typical flow barriers which are small in a direction perpendicular to the mean flow, relative to their size in the direction parallel to the mean flow (large aspect ratio, e), and in formations of fine-textured soil materials with significant capillary forces (large macroscopic capillary length scale, λ).
Since on the spherical rapidly rotating planet the dispersion relation of the Rossby waves is anisotropic, the Rhines scale in the direction parallel to the equator is larger than in the direction orthogonal to it.
Some sewer grates have large slits parallel to the road, and sufficiently large enough for a road bike wheel to fall through.
Although it will be a difficult task to identify the actual wedge structure, it is clear that a relatively narrow lateral heterogeneity may exist in the shallow subsurface beneath these points, parallel to the direction of the larger amplitude.
Hold each piece parallel to the ground, with the large bridge keys facing toward you, and line them up.
