The best measurements available ( from WMAP ) show that the data is well-fit by a Lambda-CDM model in which dark matter is assumed to be cold ( warm dark matter is ruled out by early reionization ), and is estimated to make up about 23 % of the matter / energy of the universe, while baryonic matter makes up about 4. 6 %.

In an " extended model " which includes hot dark matter in the form of neutrinos, then if the " physical baryon density " Ω < sub > b </ sub > h < sup > 2 </ sup > is estimated at about 0. 023 ( this is different from the ' baryon density ' Ω < sub > b </ sub > expressed as a fraction of the total matter / energy density, which as noted above is about 0. 046 ), and the corresponding cold dark matter density Ω < sub > c </ sub > h < sup > 2 </ sup > is about 0. 11, the corresponding neutrino density Ω < sub > v </ sub > h < sup > 2 </ sup > is estimated to be less than 0. 0062.

The plasma may cool rapidly in this region ( for a thermal instability ), creating dark filaments in the solar disk or prominences off the limb.

There is a wide array of power-ups, such as a backpack that increases the player character's ammunition-carrying capacity, armor, first aid kits to restore health, the berserk pack ( a dark first aid box that puts the character into berserk mode, allowing him to deal out rocket launcher-level damage with his fists and potentially splattering former humans and imps, as well as setting the user's health to 100 % if it were lower ), supernatural blue orbs ( named soul spheres in the manuals ) that boost the player character's health up to a maximum of 200 %, nightvision, computer maps ( which show every area of the level ), partial invisibility, and protective suits that allow the player to survive in toxic acids.

Like other Wiccans, Dianics may form covens, attend festivals, celebrate the eight major Wiccan holidays, Samhain, Beltane, Imbolc ( or Imbolg ), Lammas, the solstices and equinoxes ( see Wheel of the Year ) and the Esbats, which are rituals usually held at the full moon or dark moon.

Lengthwise, such bone displays many narrow channels which appear to be dark lines of varying lengths.

In the dark, cells have a relatively high concentration of cyclic guanosine 3 '- 5 ' monophosphate ( cGMP ), which opens ion channels ( largely sodium channels, though calcium can enter through these channels as well ).

A team of Hungarian scientists proposes that the geysers ' most visible features, dark dune spots and spider channels, may be colonies of photosynthetic Martian microorganisms, which over-winter beneath the ice cap, and as the sunlight returns to the pole during early spring, light penetrates the ice, the microorganisms photosynthesize and heat their immediate surroundings.

Depolarization of rod cells ( causing release of their neurotransmitter ) occurs because in the dark, cells have a relatively high concentration of cyclic guanosine 3 '- 5 ' monophosphate ( cGMP ), which opens ion channels ( largely sodium channels, though calcium can enter through these channels as well ).

Aside from the white reflective surfaces of the modern drainage channels there appeared in the photographs a ghostly network of dark lines and light rectangles, the former indicating richer vegetation on the sites of ancient canals.

In photoreceptor cells, there is an abundance of cGMP in dark conditions, keeping cGMP-gated Na channels open and so, activating PDE diminishes the supply of cGMP, reducing the number of open Na channels and thus hyperpolarizing the photoreceptor cell, causing less glutamate to be released.

During the night, Bonnet brought all of them aboard the Royal James and planned to fight his way out to sea in the morning rather than risk the Cape Fear River's narrow channels in the dark.

In the absence of cGMP, the CNG channels in the photoreceptors close preventing the flow of the aforementioned dark current.

If the CNG channels on a photoreceptor are continuously activated, Ca < sup > 2 +</ sup > and Na < sup >+</ sup > ion flux into the outer segment of the photoreceptor will increase so that it depolarizes beyond the dark current.

In the dark, cGMP levels are high and keep cGMP-gated sodium channels open allowing a steady inward current, called the dark current.

Glutamate that is released from the photoreceptors in the dark binds to metabotropic glutamate receptors ( mGluR6 ), which, through a G-protein coupling mechanism, causes non-specific cation channels in the cells to close, thus hyperpolarizing the bipolar cell.
