Example Sentences:
(1) On the basis of these findings, we conclude that 1) BAC can be classified within the same spectrum as well differentiated papillary adenocarcinoma, and 2) selective lung metastasis occurs in well differentiated adenocarcinomas showing mild NDC abnormalities and having a thin fibrovascular stroma without apparent destruction of the alveolar wall.
(2) Plasmids pCB20 and pCB22 were used for cloning and expression of the Bac brevis 7882 neutral protease gene in Bac.
(3) A relatively high count of neutrophils in BAC (over 10%) during therapy was observed in preserved significant IFA activity resistant to drug therapy.
(4) The 1977 to 1988 Lung Study Group experience with this tumor was reviewed to more precisely define the incidence of recurrence and survival of surgically resected and staged patients, to determine the incidence of BAC in the adenocarcinoma population, and to evaluate the impact of age, sex, smoking, and chronic lung-disease history on the incidence of BAC.
(5) galleriae strains possessing a bacteriocin-like factor (factor K) which inhibits the cultures of a number of serotypes of Bac.
(6) Subjects with less behavioral impairment underestimated their BACs more than subjects with greater behavioral impairment on the ascending limb of the blood alcohol curve.
(7) On the other hand, extracts of a dnaB252(P1 bac) lysogen, in which the dnaB mutation is suppressed in vivo by the constitutive expression of the P1 dnaB analog (ban protein), are active in dnaB complementation and the activity is also sensitive to dnaB antibody.
(8) When applied to the intact cornea, BAC with or without Na2EDTA caused only slight clarification of the endothelial cytoplasm, whilst in a few mitochondria the cristae were displaced.
(9) Participants were classified into three groups, based on the pattern of their BAC estimation errors-Underestimators, Overestimators, or Mixed Pattern estimators.
(10) In addition, many lacked an understanding of the relationship between the amount of alcohol consumed and the resulting BAC, and of the rate at which BAC decays.
(11) Moreover, in both cell types, A-II receptors were coupled to intracellular effectors since A-II: 1) stimulated the accumulation of inositol phosphates, although the effects in BAC were higher than in OAC; 2) enhanced the influx and the efflux of 45Ca2+; 3) increased cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i); 4) potentiated ACTH-induced cAMP production; and 5) induced A-II receptor loss.
(12) In optimal conditions of reduction but with the minimal concentration of BAC that permitted 100% alkylation of the human AChR's alpha-bungarotoxin sites, only 74% of the Torpedo AChR's binding sites were alkylated.
(13) In unnatural death cases the BAC under 0.05% was found in 64% of the suicides, 62% of the accidents, 54% of the homicides and 51% of the drug intoxications.
(14) As compared to normal subjects, patients with all stages of bronchogenic carcinoma consistently had very high levels of IL2 in their bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and this titer correlated with an increase in NK activity in the BAC both in absolute level and in relative level to the blood.
(15) In an attempt to characterize such lesions, we studied the clinicopathological, ultrastructural, and immunohistochemical features of three mucinous and eight nonmucinous BAC (four Clara cell, four Type II pneumocyte) along with one sheep pulmonary carcinoma (SPC).
(16) Among brain-injured survivors with more severe injuries, however, we found that BAC level was positively associated with the prevalence of physician-diagnosed neurological impairment at discharge and with the length of hospitalization.
(17) Mortality was 4% and morbidity was 14%, varying from a combined low morbidity-mortality of 8% for ICA lesions to a high to 50% for BAC aneurysms.
(18) BACs were obtained in 150 of 213 fatally injured pilots whose bodies were recovered.
(19) No homology was found between plasmids pRJ6 or pRJ9 and the large Bac plasmids.
(20) Comparing a BAC of 0.15 or more with a MAST score of greater than or equal to 5, we obtained a sensitivity of 0.36, a specificity of 0.76, a positive predictive value of 0.86, and a negative predictive value of 0.23.
Ferryboat
Definition:
(n.) A vessel for conveying passengers, merchandise, etc., across streams and other narrow waters.
Example Sentences:
(1) Two seemingly contradictory sets of observations have been made in studies of biological transport, which are essential for our understanding of the transport mechanism: carriers are integral membrane proteins, which span the membrane and are not free to rotate across the membrane; carriers appear to function like a ferryboat, with a substrate binding site moving back and forth from one side of the membrane to the other.
