  • (a.) That oscillates; vibrating; swinging.

  • (20) However, the magnitude of the pressure oscillation even at tidal volumes four times normal was always significantly below that observed during spontaneous eupnic respiration.

Reciprocating


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Reciprocate

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In this review, we demonstrate that serum creatinine does not provide an adequate estimate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and contrary to recent teachings, that the slope of the reciprocal of serum creatinine vs time does not permit an accurate assessment of the rate of progression of renal disease.
  • (2) In crosses between inverted repeats, a single intrachromatid reciprocal exchange leads to inversion of the sequence between the crossover sites and recovery of both genes involved in the event.

  • (6) Reciprocal translocations involving the short arm of acrocentric chromosomes can segregate to produce partial duplications without associated deletions.
  • (7) In a second phase of the study, a comparison was made between mortality rates of male and female progeny of White Leghorn-Rhode Island Red reciprocal crosses.
  • (8) Finally, a reciprocal facilitating effect of RRs and augmenting responses (ARs), which was studied by combined stimulation of nucleus ventralis posterolateralis (VPL) and NCM, appeared to be dependent upon an intracortical mechanism.
  • (9) Three triacetinases (A, B and C) were shown to undergo reciprocal conversions under storage and during some purification procedures (effect of pH, ionic strength, ion-exchange chromatography, concentration, lyophilization, etc.).
  • (10) For this purpose the molecular models of Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) and of Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer (KNF) are tested by showing how the different plots, direct, reciprocal, Scatchard and Hill, vary as do the parameters considered in these models.
  • (11) Some organization schemes concerning locomotor and scratching rhythmicity generators are considered, such as: two half-centres with reciprocal inhibitory connections and tonic excitatory influences on these half-centres: two half-centres with inhibitory-excitatory connections and tonic excitatory influences on one half-centre; ring structures consisting of more than two functional groups of neurons with excitatory and inhibitory connections between them.
