(2) Hypothesis-testing abilities were assessed using a modification of the discrimination-learning paradigm employed by Nelson, Kamhi, and Apel (1987) that was designed to minimize the short-term memory demands of the task.
(3) APEL (Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning) gives the practitioner the opportunity to claim further exemption from study based on relevant experience declared in a professional portfolio.
(4) In phosphatidylserine membranes the decrease in the conductance of the gramicidin A single channel caused by calcium is attributed to a reduction of surface potential and to a direct blocking of the pore (Apell et al.

(8) This phosphopeptide is part of the conserved sequence shared with neuromodulin and also corresponds to the PKC phosphorylation site on neuromodulin (Apel, E. D., Byford, M. F., Au, D., Walsh, K. A., and Storm, D. R. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 2330-2335).
(9) Leaf thionins of barley have been identified as a novel class of cell wall proteins, toxic to plant pathogenic fungi, and possibly involved in the defense mechanism of plants (Bohlmann, H., Clausen, S., Behnke, S., Giese, H., Hiller, C., Reimann-Philipp, U., Schrader, G., Barkholt, V., and Apel, K., (1988) EMBO J.
(10) Recent work has shown that dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blockers such as nitrendipine protect against ischemic liver damage in the rat in vivo (Thurman RG, Apel E and Lemasters JJ, J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 12: S113-S116, 1988), suggesting that calcium antagonists may have clinical value in preventing ischemic and hypoxic hepatic injury.
(11) The experimental approach was based on the ability of electrophysiological (single-channel) experiments to resolve the number of hybrid channel types that could form between gramicidin A or C and O-pyromellityl-gramicidin A or C (in which a pyromellitic acid residue has been esterified to the ethanolamine-OH group [Apell, H.-J., E. Bamberg, H. Alpes, and P. Läuger.
Prepuce
Definition:
(n.) The foreskin.
Example Sentences:
(1) Urethroplasty was carried out with pedicle skin of prepuce in 6 patients with the hypospadias since Feb 1987.
(2) No Campylobacter fetus organisms were identified from the prepuce or from samples of semen collected at the same time from these bulls.
(3) In the seven bulls, no macroscopic changes were seen, but a slight infiltration of lymphocytes and formation of lymph nodules were noticed in the prepuce.
(4) It appears that in the Mersey Region many boys are circumcised for development non-retractability of the prepuce rather than for true phimosis and that in consequence some two-thirds of the operations are unnecessary.
(5) The mass was enclosed in the prepuce and adherent to its skin and there was no enlargement of the clitoris itself.
(6) Electron microscopic examination of ultrathin sections and freeze-etched and shadow cast preparations of a bovine prepuce isolate of Campylobacter fetus VC119 showed an S layer with subunits in an apparent linear arrangement.

(9) Mild forms of hypospadias in the age group 1--4 years had a higher level of 5alpha-reductase activity in the prepuce than controls in the same age group (P less than 0.05); no such differences were found in the few severe cases of hypospadias in this group.
(10) Of these 300 cases, (66.7%) had redundant prepuce and 78 (26.0%) had phimosis which implies that penile tumors are closely related to those two conditions.
(11) Few cases have been reported of the initial and exclusive involvement of Kaposi's angiosarcoma of the glans penis and prepuce.
(12) The boys nearly always presented with inability to retract the prepuce; half also had discomfort after micturition, and a quarter had obstructive signs, usually minor.
(13) Isolates for which Fc binding was not detectable were recovered only from the prepuces of asymptomatic bulls.
