  • (20) However, in both LSO and MSO there is an expanded representation of the frequencies around 60 kHz, the main frequency component of the bat's echolocation call; there is another expanded representation of the range around 90 kHz, the third harmonic of the call.

Tatting


Definition:

  • (n.) A kind of lace made from common sewing thread, with a peculiar stitch.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Therefore, neither of these two regions of the Tat protein appear to be discrete activation domains.
  • (2) We now present evidence that such a decrease in amounts of P68 could be essential for HIV-1 replication because of the presence of the Tat-responsive sequence (TAR sequence) present in the 5' untranslated region of HIV-1 mRNAs, which activates the P68 kinase.
  • (3) In this study we demonstrate that the presence of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 regulatory protein Tat is associated with a significant induction in the expression of certain protein components of the extracellular matrix in glial-derived cells.
  • (4) In a sample of families of nonschizophrenic outpatient adolescents, a manual for scoring such deviance on stories told for seven TAT cards was developed.
