While there were few phenotypic differences noted between genetic groups reared in the same habitat, rearing environment played a significant role in smolt size, survival, swimming endurance, predator avoidance and migratory behaviour.
In Edwards' view, China is a "freak economy"; its investment-to-GDP ratio is off the scale in terms of size and endurance.
Even a humdrum, physically unimpressive player on a major-league baseball team has something -- usually extraordinary hand-eye coordination -- that is not apparent to those who regard athletic gifts only in terms of great size, speed, endurance or power.
To reach that conclusion, anthropologists began by looking at existing data about brain size and endurance capacity in a variety of mammals, including dogs, guinea pigs, foxes, mice, wolves, rats, civet cats, antelope, mongooses, goats, sheep and elands.
The gas tank, for example, is large for the car, but at 26.4 gallons is a smart size for endurance racing.
Accordingly, the objective of this study is to maximize the reactor core power while satisfying the limitations of shipping size, materials endurance, and criticality of a long-burning core as well as safety under beyond design basis events.
A parametric analysis shows the importance of various effects on heliostat drive unit life, including wind conditions, angles of attack, size, and endurance limits and how these affect predicted safety factors required in terms of fatigue damage.
Why do muscles have limited capacity to increase strength (i.e., fiber size) and endurance capacity (i.e., oxidative metabolism) at the same time?
In an early study which utilized M-mode echocardiography, Zeppilli et al. observed significantly increased large artery (aorta, carotid, subclavian arteries) size in endurance trained athletes, relative to matched sedentary controls (Zeppilli et al. 1995).
Lifting lighter weights with high repetitions works to develop muscle size and endurance, but will not make you run faster.
Opportunity will be sizing up Endurance from its rim in coming weeks, but duplicating its earlier success will likely require some gutsier roving.
