A Lithuanian study conducted in 2001 concluded that the maximal daily growth rate of the cap ( about 21 mm or 0. 8 in ) occurred when the relative air humidity was the greatest, and the fruit bodies ceased growing when the air humidity dropped below 40 %.

A 2007 field study revealed little correlation between the abundance of fruit bodies and presence of its mycelia below ground, even when soil samples were taken from directly beneath the mushroom ; the study concluded " Factors triggering formation of mycorrhizae and fructification of porcini appear to be too complex to be simply explained on the basis of the amount of fungal mycelia in the soil.

Furthermore, fruit bodies were determined to have 528 mg of the antioxidant compound ergothioneine per kilogram of fresh mushroom ; this value was the highest among many food items tested in one study.

A 2006 study of 243 cases and 483 matched controls found that fresh fruit is associated with a reduced risk of developing shingles – people who consumed less than one serving of fruit a day had a risk three times as great as those who consumed more than three servings, after adjusting for other factors such as total energy intake.

When people started to study scientifically how to fly, people began to understand the basics of air and aerodynamics.

Although physical characteristics and sizes at various instars have been used to estimate fly age, a more recent study has been conducted to determine the age of an egg based on the expression of particular genes.

Giotto was a European robotic spacecraft mission from the European Space Agency, intended to fly by and study Halley's Comet.

When Arnold asked Cochran to go to Britain to study the ATA, Cochran asked 76 of the most qualified female pilots – identified during the research she had done earlier for Olds – to come along and fly for the ATA.

Tracking information is used to study the migration patterns of monarchs, including how far and where they fly.

Ten tick species, two louse species and a louse fly species were recovered in a study of 73 nyalas at Umfolozi, Mkuzi and Ndumu Game Reserves in northeastern KwaZulu-Natal in 1983 and 1984 and an additional six individuals in 1994.

The LLRVs, humorously referred to as " Flying Bedsteads ", were used by the FRC, now known as the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., to study and analyze piloting techniques needed to fly and land the Apollo Lunar Module in the moon's airless environment.

" " According to Miller, cultivation theory was not developed to study " targeted and specific effects ( e. g., that watching Superman will lead children to attempt to fly by jumping out the window ) rather in terms of the cumulative and overarching impact has on the way we see the world in which we live ".

Wasson's next major contribution was a study of the ancient Vedic intoxicant soma, which he proposed was based on the psychoactive fly agaric ( Amanita muscaria ) mushroom.

While pollination has not yet been observed in action, it is generally expected that the pollinator is either a fly attracted to the flower's unpleasant smell or some nocturnal insect, as no extensive study has been performed to observe potential nighttime pollinators.

* National Aviation Course-Course consists of two sections: Powered Flying ( 9 days ), in which candidates study towards the FRTO section of the Private Pilot License exam and improve their powered flying skills in light aircraft, candidates have the opportunity to fly solo during the course and receive solo flight wings, and Navigation ( 7 days ) in which candidates study towards the Aeronautical Navigation PPL exam in a practical environment and if successful receive a navigation brevet.

Siddiqi ’ s work has opened up the prospects of an integrated behavior-genetic and neurobiological approach to the study of sensory perception, learning and memory ; it has led to an improved understanding of how olfactory information is encoded in the brain of the fly.

He joined Morgan's research team in the " fly room ", in which huge advances were being made in the study of genetics through studies of the fruit fly Drosophila.

Heinrich Nöthel, a geneticist from the Freie Universität Berlin carried out the most extensive study about radioresistance mutations using the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, in a series of 14 publications.

The study reports that drosophila melanogaster ( fruit fly ), which is ordinarily attracted to acetophenone, spontaneously dislikes deuterated acetophenone.

* the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, which is a model organism in the study of genetics.

Bird ringing or bird banding is a technique used in the study of wild birds, by attaching a small, individually numbered, metal or plastic tag to their legs or wings, so that various aspects of the bird's life can be studied by the ability to re-find the same individual later.

A 2011 study suggest that airplanes may produce ice particles by freezing cloud droplets that cool as they flow around the tips of propellers, over wings or over jet aircraft, and thereby unintentionally seed clouds.

A study in Sri Lanka found that the time spent with spread wings was always after they had spent some time underwater and that the duration was related to time spent underwater and inversely related to the temperature and dryness of air supporting the theory that the behaviour aids drying of the wings.

A 2005 study by Sankar Chatterjee suggested that the wings of Microraptor functioned like a split-level " biplane ", and that it likely employed a phugoid style of gliding, in which it would launch from a perch and swoop downward in a ' U ' shaped curve, then lift again to land on another tree, with the tail and hind wings helping to control its position and speed.

Subsequent expansion concentrated on the sprawling side wings, most notably the Italian rotunda ( 1796 ) that would become a study of Alexander II sixty years later.

The new dorms had east and west wings with a combination writing and study room in the center.
