Sentence examples for raft radius from inspiring English sources
As s approaches the final raft radius (the solid purple line signifying s = 10), the diffusive model approaches the straight-path model (the dashed black line).
We use the following expression for converting raft radius to an equivalent number of ants on the bottom layer: where the radius of raft at time t is in cm.
Using this effective speed given in Eq. (2), we re-formulate Eq. (1) to include two new regimes dictated by the value of raft radius r(t) relative to s.
We use as an example the model predictions given by the red solid line in Figure 4, the diffusive model with s = 4. Here, Regime A is the same as the original model, but it only lasts while the raft radius r(t) is less than the step size s, or For very large rafts, N > 35,000 ants, Regime A does not occur at all because the initial sphere of ants is so large that.
A parametric study was subsequently conducted to examine the effect of the soil shear strength parameters and wind speed (random variables) on the design parameters (number and length of piles and radius of raft).
We observed that the radius of the thinned raft decreased as ants on the edge moved back to the top.
This behavior is consistent with our previous observations: if the radius r of the raft is less than s, then one would simply observe ants traveling in a straight line until reaching an edge, as was the case of our previous observations.
The single distal locking row in the distal radius plates used in these studies are meant to buttress the articular surface of the distal radius in a raft fashion, with all the screws pointing in the same direction.
