While Lamb's analysis assumed a straight wavefront, it has been shown [8] that the same characteristic equations apply to cylindrical plate waves (i.e. waves propagating outwards from a line source, the line lying perpendicular to the plate). The difference is that whereas the "carrier" for the straight wavefront is a sinusoid, the "carrier ...
A cross-bred ewe suckles her lamb, which was the first of the 2008 spring lambing at a farm in Coventry, England Domesticated sheep are herd animals that are bred for agricultural trade. A flock of sheep is mated by a single ram , which has either been chosen by a farmer or, in feral populations, has established dominance through physical ...
Fables by Aesop include The Crow and the Sheep, The Frog and the Ox, and The Wolf and the Lamb. [79] The mythological creature Chimera, depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head, was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and ...
Rillettes (/ r ɪ ˈ l ɛ t s, r i ˈ j ɛ t /, also UK: / ˈ r iː j ɛ t /, French:) is a preservation method similar to confit where meat is seasoned then submerged in fat and cooked slowly over the course of several hours (4 to 10 hours). [1]
Poddy lamb, bottle lamb or pet lamb – an orphan lamb reared on a bottle. Also cade lamb, or placer. Rubbed wool indicating the presence of external parasites on sheep. Pour-on – see backliner. Raddle – coloured pigment used to mark sheep for various reasons, such as to show ownership, or to show which lambs belong to which ewe. May be ...
Another theory is that sexual reproduction originated from selfish parasitic genetic elements that exchange genetic material (that is: copies of their own genome) for their transmission and propagation. In some organisms, sexual reproduction has been shown to enhance the spread of parasitic genetic elements (e.g. yeast, filamentous fungi). [79]
A 'second wave' connectionist (ANN) model with a hidden layer. Connectionism is an approach to the study of human mental processes and cognition that utilizes mathematical models known as connectionist networks or artificial neural networks.
End plate potentials (EPPs) are the voltages which cause depolarization of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. They are called "end plates" because the postsynaptic terminals of muscle fibers have a large, saucer-like appearance.
