Relationships between glide efficiency and swimmers' size and shape characteristics.
Glide efficiency, the ability of a body to minimize deceleration over the glide, can change with variations in the body's size and shape. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between glide efficiency and the size and shape characteristics of swimmers. Eight male and eight female swimmers performed a series of horizontal glides at a depth of 70 cm below the surface. Gli...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of the carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
پروانه‌ی کرم گلوگاه انار، Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) ، به خانواده‌ی Pyralidae و زیر خانواده‌ی Phycitinae تعلق دارد. علیرغم وجود شواهدی دال بر وجود اختلاف شکل و اندازه در جنس‌های نر و ماده‌ی بسیاری از پروانه‌ها و همچنین در اعضای این خانواده، وجود چنین اختلافی تاکنون در گونه‌ی مورد بحث گزارش نشده است. در تحقیق حاضر، دوشکلی جنسی در اندازه و شکل بال پروانه‌ی کرم گلوگاه انار روی چهار میزبان انا...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Body size evolution in Mesozoic birds
The constraint of body size is much more important for flying birds than it is for most other vertebrates, because of the biomechanical limits imposed by powered, flapping flight (Alexander, 1998). We know that the maximum body size of a flying organism is significantly below that for terrestrial or aquatic taxa (Alexander, 1998), and that the requirements of flight have acted to limit or contr...
متن کاملCrystal size and shape distribution of plagioclase in the basaltic andesites, North of Gavkhouni
Plagioclase is the most abundant mineral in basaltic andesites in the north Gavkhouni. Olivine and pyroxene are the other rock forming mineral there. In their 3-dimensional shapes, they are unequal and varies between bladed to prolate. Plagioclase sometimes exhibit dusty texture, oscillatory zoning and sinusoid growth. Based on crystal size distribution data, the rate of crystal nucleation of p...
متن کاملThe Effects of Plot Shape and Size on Determining the Distribution Pattern of Astragalus verus Olivier
The distribution pattern of plants is an important characteristic of plant communities, being of critical importance in ecological studies and sampling plans. This study was designed to investigate the efficiency of different shapes and sizes of quadrants to delineate the spatial patterns of Astragalus verus Olivier by using dispersion indices. At Mayan Rangeland (Khorasan Razavi), a digital ca...
