Example sentences for: cw

How can you use “cw” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The experimental design consisted of twenty-four microcosms, each of which fell into four different scale types: 1) a "base" size (B), which has been used in microcosm studies of treehole mosquitoes [ 16 ] , [ 31 ] , [ 33 ] , 2) "constant width" (CW), using the same size container and doubling the depth, 3) "constant depth" (CD), using the same depth as the base, but doubling the width, and 4) "constant shape" (CS), which doubles both the width and depth of the base treatment (Table 2).
Microcosms with low horizontal surface area (B and CW) had lower survival than those with high horizontal surface area (Fig.
The other comparison between B and CW microcosms yielded mosquitoes that were similar in size and development rate.
However, mosquitoes from CW microcosms were not significantly different from other mosquitoes in size or time to maturity.
Our two habitat size hypotheses predicted: 1) an adverse effect of a lower wall area per unit volume, a possible artifact of microcosm design (compare B to CD and CW to CS - see Materials & Methods and Table 2), and 2) an adverse effect of a lower horizontal surface area to depth ratio (compare B to CW and CD to CS), which may be a factor in experimental design or in choice of oviposition site by females.
