1 having a shape that is much longer than it is wide:
Acanthoclinus are elongate fishes.
Each lateral canal consists of an elongated cell embedded in the cytoplasm of the lateral hypodermal cord.
Clearly, the turbulent cells are almost isotropic and not particularly elongated in the radial direction.
The fastest growing wave appears to be a zero-frequency mode, elongated perpendicularly to the plasma inhomogeneity.
Other possible mechanisms of reconnection may be via magnetic streamers [17], which are radially elongated magnetic structures.
The winter thermal benefits of elongated atria are thus offset by additional cooling requirements.
A-type horizontal cells of the superior edge of the linear visual streak of the rabbit retina have oriented, elongated dendritic trees.
The paraspermatids were similar to parasperm in their retroflux shape and elongated nuclei, although, in the culture, those with fused nucleus were not observed.
However, the approximate elliptical vortices become elongated to an arbitrarily great extent in this limit, whereas the actual solutions do not.
