A dynamic broadband reflector built from microscopic silica spheres in the 'disco' clam Ctenoides ales.
The 'disco' or 'electric' clam Ctenoides ales (Limidae) is the only species of bivalve known to have a behaviourally mediated photic display. This display is so vivid that it has been repeatedly confused for bioluminescence, but it is actually the result of scattered light. The flashing occurs on the mantle lip, where electron microscopy revealed two distinct tissue sides: one highly scattering...
متن کاملDo you see what I see? Optical morphology and visual capability of ‘disco’ clams (Ctenoides ales)
The 'disco' clam Ctenoides ales (Finlay, 1927) is a marine bivalve that has a unique, vivid flashing display that is a result of light scattering by silica nanospheres and rapid mantle movement. The eyes of C. ales were examined to determine their visual capabilities and whether the clams can see the flashing of conspecifics. Similar to the congener C. scaber, C. ales exhibits an off-response (...
متن کاملModelling broadband scattering from shelled spheres in a waveguide
The broadband scattering characteristics of a target may be used to distinguish echos from a target of interest from those of clutter. This type of classification is of interest in many sonar applications: ASW, torpedo, surface mines, and diver detection. In a shallow water situation the original sonar pulse and the echo from the target will consist of a sequence of pulses corresponding to the ...
متن کاملALES-DEVS An Ecosystem Simulator built with DEVSJava
Ecosystem modeling is traditional done using flexible, agent based models, or by using ordinary differential equations to estimate behavior over large populations. Both of these approaches have positive and negative aspects. The DEVS modeling system is a discrete event modeler that may be able to combine the positive aspects of discrete event simulation with the ability to run giant simulations...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
