  2. Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-regulated...

    Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein is a plasticity protein that in humans is encoded by the ARC gene. The gene is believed to derive from a retrotransposon . [ 5 ] The protein is found in the neurons of tetrapods and other animals where it can form virus-like capsids that transport RNA between neurons.

  3. Chevron (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_(geology)

    Chevron folding preferentially occurs when the bedding regularly alternates between contrasting competences. [1] Turbidites, characterized by alternating high-competence sandstones and low-competence shales, provide the typical geological setting for chevron folds to occur. Perpetuation of the fold structure is not geometrically limited.

  4. Chevron plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_plot

    A chevron plot is a way of representing protein folding kinetic data in the presence of varying concentrations of denaturant that disrupts the protein's native tertiary structure. The plot is known as "chevron" plot because of the canonical v , or chevron shape observed when the logarithm of the observed relaxation rate is plotted as a function ...

  6. Fenambosy Chevron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenambosy_Chevron

    The Fenambosy Chevron is one of four chevron-shaped land features on the southwest coast of Madagascar, near the tip of Madagascar, 180 meters (590 ft) high and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) inland. Chevrons such as Fenambosy have been hypothesized as providing evidence of "megatsunamis" caused by comets or asteroids crashing into Earth. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretionary_wedge

    Kodiak Shelf in the Gulf of Alaska – The geology of the Chugach National Forest is dominated by two major lithologic units, the Valdez Group (Late Cretaceous) and the Orca Group (Paleocene and Eocene). [15] The Valdez Group is part of a 2,200-km-long by 100-km-wide belt of Mesozoic accretionary complex rocks called the Chugach terrane. [16]

  8. Chevron (land form) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_(land_form)

    A chevron is a wedge-shaped sediment deposit observed on coastlines and continental interiors around the world. The term chevron was originally used independently by Maxwell and Haynes [ 1 ] and Hearty and others [ 2 ] for large, V-shaped, sub-linear to parabolic landforms in southwestern Egypt and on islands in the eastern, windward Bahamas.

  9. Cutaneous reflex in human locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_reflex_in_human...

    Concurrent, or simultaneous stimulation of both the superficial fibular nerve (top of the foot) and the superficial radial nerve of the opposite (contralateral) arm suggests that the obstacle is large enough to cause a major stumble or fall. The response is, therefore, one which activates the leg muscles in a way as to prepare for that possibility.
