The very notion of an Amazonian island — of isolation and segregation — comes off, in the light of experience, as a narrowing and blinkering background.
One of the most remarkable features of visual system parallel processing is the functional segregation of ON and OFF pathways originating in the retina [1] [3].
Overall, contrary to report of Schiller & Malpeli (1978), we did not find any indication of segregation of On- and Off-centre cells to the outer (K5, P5, K6, P6) and middle (K3, P3, K4, P4) laminae respectively (χ = 0.505, P = 0.48).
However, a false association of the mutant phenotype with the target gene due to the co-segregation of an off-target mutation is extremely unlikely.
Thirty eight percent of polymorphic markers did not segregate as per the expected Mendelian segregation of 1 1 at cut-off probability of 0.01 and hence they were removed from further analysis.
In some cases unwittingly, Mr. Lawson said, he began undoing segregation on campus and off.
Similar to the ME-induced rearrangement of RGC axons described here, the segregation of RGC axons into ON and OFF sublaminae in the ferret LGN takes place after eye-specific segregation [47], and this segregation is mediated by activity-dependent mechanisms [48], [49].
Through the segregation of acoustic information, the potential trade-off in reliability between vocal cues can be avoided.
Through his noir-ish narrative, Mosley prowls the fault lines of American race conflict, when the experience of fighting in the second world war had energised the African- American community to throw off segregation's shackles.
Segregation of information could effectively circumvent this trade-off.
