Physiological studies on pea tendrils. I. Growth and coiling following mechanical stimulation.
Unbranched tendrils arising from the fifth node of light grown Alaska pea plants were found to reach maturity at the age of 10 days. Such tendrils, when stroked, coiled rapidly. They remained maximally irritable for at least 3 days.Coiling was separable into 2 components, curvature (measured in degrees) and elongation. Coiling reached a maximum from one-half to 3 hours after tactile stimulation...
متن کاملCopulas and Vines (stat08012)
Copulas and vines allow us to model the distribution of multivariate random variables in a flexible way. This article introduces copulas via Sklar’s theorem, explains how pair copula constructions are built by decomposing multivariate copula densities and illustrates vine graphical representations.
متن کاملEdward Wing Twining, 1887-1939.

متن کاملAre the carotid kinking and coiling underestimated entities?
(loop) is defined as the elongation of the internal carotid artery (ICA), which causes the appearance of Sor C-shape angulation or the appearance of circular formations. Kinking is one of the variants of a coiling, or angulation of one or more segments of the ICA and could be associated with local or global cerebral symptoms (Figure 1). The occurrence of carotid abnormalities (CAs), verified by...
متن کاملAre snake populations in widespread decline?
Long-term studies have revealed population declines in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. In birds, and particularly amphibians, these declines are a global phenomenon whose causes are often unclear. Among reptiles, snakes are top predators and therefore a decline in their numbers may have serious consequences for the functioning of many ecosystems. Our results show that, of 17 sn...
