Example Sentences:
(1) The forehead flap covers fabricated composite flaps of intravasal lining and primary cartilage grafts that create the subsurface architecture of the external nose.
(2) Completely demineralized root powder was subjected to solutions of varying pH and ionic strength: (a) 0.1 M acetic acid, pH 4.0, (b) 0.1 M acetic acid + 0.15 M KCl, pH 4.0, (c) 0.1 M Hepes, pH 7.0 or to (d) 0.1 M Hepes + 0.15 M KCl, pH 7.0 at 37 degrees C. The surfaces of intact root specimens were exposed to 0.1 M acetic acid, pH 4.0 (which resulted in erosive lesions) or to 0.1 M lactic acid, 0.2 mM methane hydroxy diphosphonate, pH 5.0 (which produced subsurface lesions) at 37 degrees C. After incubation, the extracts were analysed for soluble collagen and the insoluble matrices were treated with trypsin at 15 degrees C to determine the denatured collagen.
(3) It is important to remember that the behavior of contaminants in the subsurface is influenced by chemical and hydrologic parameters as well as biotic considerations, and that a wholistic understanding of these processes will be required for successful ground-water quality management.
(4) Of major significance in assessing the environmental risk impact of GEMs is an understanding of their survival and transport in soil and subsurface environments.
(5) When a subsurface barrier fails, the leachate enters the groundwater in a concentrated, narrow band which may bypass monitoring wells.
(6) Two clinically distinct lesions have been described in dental enamel: the erosion lesion, characterized by a dissolution of enamel from the surface; and the caries lesion, in which the enamel surface layer, accumulating fluoride, remains relatively intact, while the subsurface enamel dissolves.
(7) This indicates that these solutes have access to the silica subsurface amines during chromatography.
(8) The first specialization that we observed was the subsurface cistern, which appeared at five days and showed a significant increase both in frequency and in length throughout development.
(9) A brief increase in the ascorbic acid concentration in the rat cerebral cortex after intraventricular bilateral injection of 20 microliters of a 0.1% or 1% ascorbic acid solution and also intracisternal injection of 20 microliters of a 0.5% solution results in a prolonged (not less than 21 days) ultrastructural reorganization in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cortical neurons: the amount of lysosomes, polysomes, vesicles of the Golgi complex, and subsurface cisterns increases, this demonstrating an increasing RNA and protein synthesis, catabolic processes, and neuronal-glial interaction.
(10) The decrease at 32 days coincided with the loss of many subsurface cisterns, and dispersion of Nissl substance, all suggestive of chromatolysis.
(11) They may be anchored to the isolated cortex through associations with the plasma membrane and with an extensive subsurface network of rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
(12) The exposed subsurface layer showed a fibrillar structure.
(13) Although the presence and activity of microorganisms in most subsurface environments are predictable, only recently have subsurface microbial populations in shallow subsurface zones been characterized.
(14) The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that a degraded subsurface layer containing microcracks is produced in dental composites as a result of finishing procedures.
(15) Microorganisms are the predominant forms of life in the subsurface.
(16) The CSF-contacting neurons of all types are usually supplied with axo-somatic synapses on the perikaryon and subsurface cisternae are sometimes observed beneath the postsynaptic membrane.
(17) This material is always placed between the plasma membrane and the first layer of subsurface cisterns, but only in those areas along the lateral surface of the outer hair cell lining the spaces of Nuel.
(18) The Sn-release probably mainly originated from surface corrosion and Cu-release from subsurface corrosion.
(19) Over the past two decades, a number of models have been developed to describe the multiphase migration of organic chemicals in the subsurface.
(20) One of these proteins is associated with the virus "core"; the other is found in the "coat" fraction of the virion and appears to occupy an intermediary, subsurface position.
