3 Examples of such colloidal particles include rod-like particles, 4 regular clusters, 5 chiral chains, 6 staggered chains, 7 granular polymers, 8 particles that exhibit inverse dipolar interactions, 9 patchy particles, 10 and step-growth polymerization of inorganic rod-like nanoparticles.
This interaction promoted patchy reading and surface or strategic plans to the detriment of deep study strategies, thereby creating a hidden curriculum (Al Kadri et al. 2009).
Urchin kelp interactions at a very fine scale create patchy, almost sedentary aggregations of urchins.
In this study, we examine the effect of size, spatial configuration and disturbances on the dynamic interactions of large herbivores and vegetation in a patchy environment using a metapopulation model.
We used the reaction diffusion model proposed by Gierer and Meinhardt (1972) (equation 1), because it offers the necessary stability to generate patchy patterns, and because its dynamics can be interpreted as the interaction of 2 morphogens.
For instance, patchy habitat features may make one prey more visible than another, or alternatively interactions between prey may decrease individual vigilance or place certain individuals in closer proximity to a foraging predator.
This may be particularly important within anthropogenic areas, where either the patchy distribution of wild plants or the presence of cultivated fleshy-fruits may influence plant-disperser interactions.
Overall, our model demonstrates how the patchy connectivity pattern of cortex can construct itself on the basis of only local cell cell chemical interactions and each cell's (similar) genetic code, without the support of external, organizing electrical spike patterns.
Data on the interaction of neurons with glial cells in the context of ALS are still patchy, but there is a growing understanding that non-neuronal cells have a fundamental role to play in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases [ 119].
These models (Patchy Landscape Neutral Models) adapt the Gibbs process already used successfully in forestry and biology to describe the local interactions between landscape units.
