If deformation twinning is combined with regular shear deformation, the grains eventually align towards a more preferred orientation.
12.
This is probably due to cells maturing their preferred orientation to that of the most common type of visual stimulus.
13.
Tropical convolvulaceous flowers show a preferred orientation, pointing in the general direction of the sun but not exactly tracking the sun.
14.
The first possible advantage is that orientation selectivity may be intensified with lateral inhibition from neighboring cells of a slightly different preferred orientation.
15.
Four-feather fletching is usually symmetrical and there is no preferred orientation for the nock; this makes nocking the arrow slightly easier.
16.
The shaping may be performed in an external magnetic field, in order to achieve a preferred orientation of the particles ( anisotropy ).
17.
IMHO, the preferred orientation is dictated by sensory organ positioning ( most importantly, eyes ) and by the shape of the mouth.
18.
For drawn metal wires the cylindrical fiber axis turned out as the sample direction around which preferred orientation is typically observed ( see below ).
19.
They state that cleavage is a type of secondary foliation in fine grained rocks characterized by planar fabric elements that form in a preferred orientation.
20.
When the distribution of preferred orientation of these units was examined, there were fewer in the oblique meridians than in the vertical and horizontal.
