Two weeks after Eva Håkansson set the speed record for an electric motorcycle — 240.726 miles per hour — she was back in the driver's compartment, waiting in the shade of an umbrella to start another run across Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats.
Examination of parameter estimates and compartment waiting time distributions are consistent with theoretical expectations and intuition.
It is a tantalizing idea that ribosomes bound to a specific set of mRNAs could be targeted to different subcellular compartments waiting for the right moment to start making specific proteins.
For instance, infectious individuals are assumed to be equally infectious during their periodic infectivity and the waiting times in each compartment are assumed to be exponentially distributed [24].
Following a primary infection where N hypnozoites of a temperate phenotype develop in the liver, we define L i, j N as the probability that i of N hypnozoites are waiting in long-latency compartment number j, then the number of dormant and potentially active hypnozoites can be described by the following system of differential equations.
The station waiting rooms and the compartments of the train, both for living and for dead passengers, were partitioned by both religion and class to prevent both mourners and cadavers from different social backgrounds from mixing.
This gamma distribution can be simulated by M successive compartments with exponential waiting times 1/δ = d/ M. Increasing the number of compartments M reduces the variance in the duration of the dormancy period (Wearing et al., 2005).
I shook my head, put the book I had been reading into my backpack, got up, lifted my suitcase out of the overhead compartment and stood waiting in the aisle for the door up ahead to open.
The multimedia setting, which shifts from passenger compartments to airport waiting lounges to escalators to people movers to video surveillance images of them, puts a twist on the familiar period-dating question, "What time is this place?" In airports, we're more likely to wonder, what place is this time?
It was something I could have done on any one of a hundred occasions before - I knew he kept correspondence in the glove compartment, I knew the glove compartment was unlocked, I was often waiting in the car alone and had no scruples about reading other people's letters.
