• temporal sensing — Mechanism of gradient sensing in which the value of some environmental property is compared with the value at some previous time, the cell having moved position between the two samplings. Initial movement is random; until the second observation… …   Dictionary of molecular biology

• pseudospatial gradient sensing — Mechanism for sensing a gradient of a diffusible chemical in which the cell sends protrusions out at random; up gradient protrusions are stabilized by positive feedback (because receptor occupancy is rising with time) and others are transitory… …   Dictionary of molecular biology

• spatial sensing — Mechanism of sensing a gradient in which the signal is compared at different points on the cell surface and cell movement directed accordingly. Translocation of all or part of the cell is not required. See temporal and pseudospatial gradient… …   Dictionary of molecular biology

• Quorum sensing — is a type of decision making process used by decentralized groups to coordinate behavior. Many species of bacteria use quorum sensing to coordinate their gene expression according to the local density of their population. Similarly, some social… …   Wikipedia

• Collocation (remote sensing) — Collocation is a procedure used in remote sensing to match measurements from two or more different instruments. This is done for two main reasons: for validation purposes when comparing measurements of the same variable, and to relate… …   Wikipedia
