The solitary endoparasitoid Meteorus gyrator (Thunberg) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) had shorter duration of the larval stage with Chrysodeixis chalates (Esper) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) than with four other Noctuidae species, due to increased host speed development (C.
In network theory it is well known that any reciprocal (i.e., symmetric) impedance matrix of a linear, lumped, and passive N-port can be realized by a network of resistors, inductances, capacitors, and ideal transformers [17], however a nonreciprocal impedance matrix needs at least one additional linear, lumped, passive element: the gyrator [18].

An advantage of bond graph method over other techniques is that models of various systems belonging to different domains can be expressed using a set of only nine elements: inertial elements (I), capacitive elements (C), resistive elements (R), effort sources (Se) and flow sources (Sf), transformer elements (TF) and gyrator elements (GY), effort junctions (J0), and flow junctions (J1).
