  • (a.) Alt. of Abaxile

Example Sentences:

Axial


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to an axis; of the nature of, or resembling, an axis; around an axis.
  • (a.) Belonging to the axis of the body; as, the axial skeleton; or to the axis of any appendage or organ; as, the axial bones.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Eddy current transducers measured relative displacements under application of static loads, serially applied in the axial, mediolateral, and craniocaudal directions.

  • (4) Computer-aided axial tomography revealed progressive development of atrophy of the left hemisphere and compensatory dilatation of the ventricles.
  • (5) Those small problems which exist can be attributed to detector sampling problems, especially in the axial direction, which is a consequence of the geometry of these scanners, which are designed primarily for 2D data acquisition.
  • (6) Computerized axial tomography diagnosed the injury in 14 of the 24 patients requiring study beyond initial screening.
  • (7) Bidrin treatment of quail embryos results in axial anomalies as well as malformations of the beak and the limbs.
  • (8) We found that the Gallie system generally allowed significantly more rotation in flexion, extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending than the other three fixation techniques.
  • (9) From the different shapes of the scattering curves of the native phosphofructokinase at pH 7.5 in the presence of 15 mM ATP and of the cross-linked tetramer or octamer, it can be inferred that the shapes of the protomers are different: in the presence of ATP the protomers are elongated, having an axial ratio of 1.8 to 2.0; the cross-linked state reveals a spherical protomer of radius 33.0 A, similar to that of the native enzyme at pH 7.5 in the presence of fructose 6-phosphate or fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.

  • (11) 'Vertical' sections are plane sections longitudinal to a fixed (but arbitrary) axial direction.
  • (12) Compared with anteverted (N = 243) or axial (N = 149) locations, the retroverted uterus (N = 66) was associated with a lower mean sample weight per aspiration (22, 18, and 15 mg, respectively; P less than .01) and a greater frequency of multiple-pass procedures (23, 31, and 52%, respectively; P less than .0001).
  • (13) The aim was to find out to what extent information from homonymous muscles of the forelimbs converge on the same CBM neurons and whether the probability of such a convergence depends on location (axial, proximal, distal) or function (flexor, extensor) of the tested muscles.
  • (14) The following points of interaction between the sugar molecule and the carrier are identified: C1-OH, C3-OH and C4-OH (both axial) and C6-OH.
