In estuaries with semi-diurnal tides, the endogenous swimming rhythm takes one of two forms: a circatidal rhythm with a period of »12.4 h or a circalunidian rhythm with a period of »24.8 h (Forward et al. 2003, 2005).
Sample text:```Although the time-constants of the learning window used in this study were much shorter than those reported for hippocampal neurons by Bi and Poo [27] (viz.```

Sample text:```Our earlier work has stressed the importance of electric field frequency and phase with respect to intracellular chemical oscillators (Kindzelskii and Petty, 2000).```

Sample text:```The lower abundance of fish at impacted reaches detected in our study agrees with the results of other authors, who in some cases found four times higher biomass at control reaches (Kube cka et al. 1997; Almod ovar & Nicola 1999).```

Sample text:```Here we analyse the sustainability of the initiative over a 32-month period of operations, using a modified version of a framework developed by Sarriot et al. (2004a).```

Sample text:```It is also in agreement with those of Stansley et al. (1997) who obtained high mortality in R. palustris tadpoles, exposed from the egg stage for 10 days to a total mean lead concentration of 1.670 and 0.944 mg Pb/l.```

Sample text:```Similarly, in a study on 60 subjects, blinks were measured at the beginning and end of a working day (Caffier et al., 2003). Although no significant difference between alert and drowsy phases was found, a slightly decreased blink rate during drowsy phase was reported. However, these results contradict the findings of Morris and Miller (1996) about the efficiency of F in a moving base-flight simulator with 10 sleep-deprived pilots.```

Sample text:```In this study, the proposed method is based on atrial activity extraction using an echo state network (ESN) re­ cently introduced as a unified solution to the problem of QRST cancellation in the presence of substantial variation in beat morphology and/or occasional ectopic beats [7].```

Sample text:```For example, we have shown that a depressive mood state and poor quality of life are less likely in elderly individuals who meet empirical minimum standards of habitual physical activity: >4,000 steps/day or >5 min/day at an intensity ≥3 metabolic equivalents (METs; Yasunaga et al., 2006; Yoshiuchi et al., 2006).```

Sample text:```The next communication [2] considered the most general characteristics of the parameter of spa tial EEG synchronization (the average in each of the fre quency bands of the EEG’s coherence value), such as multiplicity, directedness, and reproducibility of varia tions of this parameter owing to the change of state of the subjects.```
