(16) Pedigree studies have suggested that there may be an inherited predisposition to many apparently nonfamilial colorectal cancers and a genetic model of tumorigenesis in common colorectal cancer has been proposed that includes the activation of dominantly acting oncogenes and the inactivation of growth suppressor genes.
(17) At 100 microM-ACh the apparent open time became shorter probably due to channel blockade by ACh molecules.
(18) For SP and NKA the decrease was apparent in all brain regions and both in the right and left hemispheres.
(19) Glucocorticoids have been shown in in vitro systems to inhibit the release of arachidonic acid metabolites, namely prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes, apparently, via the induction of a phospholipase A2 inhibitory protein, called lipocortin.
(20) The authors examined an eye obtained post-mortem from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease of childhood and clinically apparent chorioretinal scars.
Parallax
Definition:
(n.) The apparent displacement, or difference of position, of an object, as seen from two different stations, or points of view.
(n.) The apparent difference in position of a body (as the sun, or a star) as seen from some point on the earth's surface, and as seen from some other conventional point, as the earth's center or the sun.
Example Sentences:
(1) We present a paradigm to estimate local affine motion parallax structure from a varying image irradiance pattern.
(2) There is evidence that OKNe is also sensitive to relative depth cues such as motion parallax, which we suggest helps the system to segregate the object of regard from other elements in the scene.
(3) The 3D spine images were extremely true to life and could be rotated around all three principle axes (constituting a movie), so that an illusion of head-motion parallax was created.
(4) In the second experiment it was shown that stroboscopic illumination disrupted accurate jumping but animals could jump accurately to a platform when only the leading edge was visible, showing that they depend on motion cues but not motion parallax.
(5) Furthermore, there was good agreement when parallax analysis was applied both to quenching by brominated and spin-labeled molecules, suggesting that the analysis is valid in both cases.
(6) A monocularly viewed surface specified by parallax alone was seen as a rigid, corrugated surface translating along a fronto-parallel path.
(7) In each experiment three conditions were compared: an active condition in which the coupling of parallax shifts and observer's head movements operated, a passive condition in which it did not, and a real-life set-up to measure the maximum reliability in depth estimation.
(8) These findings indicate large visual illusions in the nighttime situation and suggest that the ineffectiveness of relative motion parallax may be an important part of night approach problems.
(9) This indicates that the depth reported by parallax analysis is accurate and that the spin labels residue very close to their predicted locations in the membrane.
(10) Various gait parameters were measured from high-speed film, and after parallax correction, compared with the theoretical predictions.
(11) To correct for parallax error, radiopaque markers are positioned between the patient and the x-ray source.

(14) We previously introduced the "parallax" method, which uses fluorescence quenching by spin-labeled lipids in order to measure the depth of molecules within a membrane [Chattopadhyay, A., & London, E. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 39-45].
(15) To establish the extent to which a parallax-effect of differing angles of X-ray beam relative to the patient can influence the radiologic assessment of carinal level, we measured the tracheal-vertebral distance at the carina in 29 lateral radiographs of neonates, infants and children, prepared diagrams of the loci of carinal beam intercept of the vertebral column for different angles of beam to body, from tracings of lateral radiographs of two 2-week-old infants, one with trachea of normal length and one with short trachea; of a nine-year-old child with short trachea, and of a ten-year-old with normal trachea, and made radiographs of a postmortem tracheobronchogram of a two-day-old infant at different beam angles.
(16) This prediction was confirmed by the experimental determination of chromatic parallax for two commercially available achromatizing lenses.
(17) The hypothesis was tested that the coupling of parallax shifts between objects depicted on a monitor screen around a fixation point with the head movements of an observer viewing this screen monocularly around a point coinciding with the fixation point is sufficient to create a convincing depth impression and to enable the observer to make reliable estimations of depth.
(18) Traditionally, parallax disparities refer to points that are well defined within the objects, such as edges or boundaries.
