Seaming


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Seam
  • (n.) The act or process of forming a seam or joint.
  • (n.) The cord or rope at the margin of a seine, to which the meshes of the net are attached.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It seams rational to proceed to an earlier total correction in these cases when well defined criteria are fullfilled, as the mortality figures of the palliative and corrective procedures have a tendency to reach each other: (3,2 versus 5,7%).
  • (2) Osteomalacia is characterized by large osteoid seams and a preserved volume of bone trabeculae.
