More limited data also indicate consistent directional selection favoring decreasing time to adulthood and reproductive maturity. In a motile cell indicated through its polar directional appearance, fewer or no stress fibers were observed, whereas a resting cell shows very prominent stress fibers. The edges are heat-sealed to carry a minimum loading of 1,200 psi, and baffles and ‘islands’ are formed in the pad to control the directional flow of the fluid. The power-beyond port is then used to supply pump flow to the additional directional control valve. A deficiency of polymorphic sites within species indicates directional selection, while an excess of segregating sites within species suggests the action of balancing selection. High d N / d S ratios (excess of nonsynonymous substitutions) are considered to indicate directional evolution. Actin microfilaments are found perpendicular to the cortical microtubules and may be the source of motion to propel the directional motions of the fluid membrane. At their face value, these estimates indicate little evidence for directional selection. A positive coefficient indicates that directional selection is acting to increase that trait. In this competitive population, larger adult females were more likely to be recruited, indicating directional selection favoring increased female body size. This means there would be a shadow cast to the north and the directional orientation of the picture would come into play. Within coralla, directional orientations of the major axes of lacunae appear to be random. 2.1 Relating to, denoting, or designed for the projection, transmission, or reception of light, radio, or sound waves in or from a particular direction or directions. a directional microphone Example sentencesExamples These directional fluorescent lights suggest that this is not the destination, so one is guided along to the upper gallery. Students who could mount cheap directional antennae on their roofs and point them at DP would be able to connect to the campus network from all over the city with little more than a tin can, a bit of antenna cable and a wireless card. The third new product is a wall-mounted, directional patch antenna designed to improve indoor communications that experience poor reception. In the study, cochlear implant users who used directional microphones improved their speech understanding by 11.7%. ABC's Diane Sawyer did something interesting the other night, using a directional mike to play a tape of what it actually sounded like in that room. Simply put, the system divides the orchestra pit into ten acoustical zones and the stage into fourteen, each governed by a directional microphone. The LSO didn't see the ship turning, because it was nighttime and the directional gyro lights in the landing Control Station were burnt out, which made the gauge hard to use for quick reference. They are still there, using directional microphones and long-distance camera lenses to record the comings and goings of the locals. The viewing screen can be shaded to an extent from the sun or other directional light sources, by means of baffles, but the basic problem remains. Typically, the land mobile radio technician uses a directional wattmeter connected in the transmission line to measure the forward and reflected power. Meanwhile, you're standing fifty yards away with a sneer, a telephoto lens and a directional microphone. I made recordings using a Sony TCD - 5 Pro tape recorder and an AKG ck9 directional microphone before and after the playback. Intense fiber optic lighting is also necessary, though directional light from focusable light guides is insufficient; the use of a fiber optic ring light is optimal. Nanotechnology had made them nothing more than a single in-ear headphone with a directional microphone. As for communications equipment, the snipers need small, easily packable radios and a good directional antenna to allow for longer-range communications. By illuminating areas that are prone to shadows with strong directional lights you'll find that the room opens up even further. The Comtac features dual microphones, giving you directional hearing and an interface for boom mike and radio interconnection, but my favorite feature is the on/off volume control. And there's a chance that the box might have some kind of radio emanations that reveal the raw, unencrypted data to an attacker who has a good radio and directional antenna. That was a plus-he wouldn't be immediately identified as American, but if the opposition had a directional microphone, which could even pick up whispers, the ruse would be up. One thing: even if you use a blimped camera and scream for silence on the set, make sure you have a directional microphone with good frequency response, and check levels.
