(n.) An image or representation; a form; a phantom; an apparition.
Example Sentences:
(1) Eight viral isolates were recovered from Eidolon helvum bats collected in Nigeria and Cameroon in 1971 and from the Central African Republic in 1974.
(2) Ultrastructural studies, including a preliminary morphometric analysis, of the right ventricular myocardium in the West African bat Eidolon helvum show that the myocytes contain a wider T-tubule system and a higher proportion of mitochondria and lipid droplets than in typical terrestrial mammals such as the rat; these features in the bat are even mor pronounced than in hibernating species such as the golden hamster.
(3) With regard to the species, positive reactions were found in Erinaceus albiventris, Eidolon helbum, Cercopithecus aethiops, Genetta spec., Canis adustus et aurus, Felis silvestris, Leptailurus serval, Arvicanthis niloticus, Mastomys spec., Mus spec., Gazella spec., Tragelaphus spec.
(4) Fruit bats (Eidolon helvum) were collected from three different localities in Western Nigeria: Oti, Ibadan and Idanre.
(5) Blood and bone marrow cells of the straw-coloured fruit bat, Eidolon helvum were examined for Sudan black B and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive material, peroxidase, naphthol ASD chloroacetate esterase and beta-glucuronidase.
(6) A comparative study of the responses of the gastrointestinal tract of the guinea-pig and of the fruit-eating bat Eidolon helvum to transmural nerve stimulation (TNS) was made.
(7) Erinaceus albiventris, Eidolon helvum, Tadarida condylura and T. pumila, Cercopithecus aethiops, Genetta sp., Ichneumonia albicauda, Canis adustus and C. aureus, Felis silvestris, Leptailurus serval, Arvicanthis niloticus, Mus sp.
Eikon
Definition:
(n.) An image or effigy; -- used rather in an abstract sense, and rarely for a work of art.
Example Sentences:
(1) We derive an "eikonal-curvature" equation to describe the propagation of action potential wavefronts in myocardium.
(2) Thus, higher levels of aniseikonia correction and improved cosmetic appearance of eikonic spectacle lenses can be achieved.
(3) We present shape magnification nomographs that facilitate eikonic lens design with these materials.
(4) The results of the R-D and the eikonal models applied to a portion of the ventricular wall are in excellent agreement; moreover, the eikonal model requires only a small fraction of the computer time needed by the R-D system.
(5) We demonstrate that this theory is valid for biologically relevant parameters and simulate a one-way block by numerically solving the eikonal approximation.
(6) c) A linear eikonal equation relating the normal velocity to the curvature of the wavefront in agreement with measurements in the BZ reagent and in the aggregating slime mold D. discoideum.
(7) Subsequently a perturbation analysis is carried out that yields zero- and first-order approximations called eikonal equations.
(8) An approximate model has been derived from the R-D system by means of a singular perturbation technique, and it is described by an eikonal equation, nonlinear and elliptic, in the activation time psi (x).
(9) As a consequence the cardiac current sources are approximated by an oblique dipole layer structure and the motion of the wavefront is described by eikonal equations.
(10) There are significant computational advantages to the use of an eikonal-curvature equation over a full ionic model of action potential spread.
(11) We have analyzed the effects of the new high index glass and plastic spectacle lens materials on the design of eikonic lenses sometimes used for these patients.
(12) The results yielded by the excitation model and the eikonal equations are compared.
(13) Therefore, for large-scale simulations of the excitation process, only the eikonal model has been used, and we investigate its ability to cope with complex situations such as front-front collisions and related potential patterns.
(14) By using an asymptotic approximation, known as the eikonal equation, to model qualitatively the movement of a depolarization wave-front down a Purkinje fibre bundle, we show how a one-way block in conduction may result from asymmetric constriction in the width of a depressed bundle.
