Example Sentences:
(1) Inbred (C57BL6 X CBA) F1 mice or outbred Ico: OF1 (Caw) mice received a weekly injection of rat erythrocytes for 2-3 months and the (IgM and IgG) antibody levels to autologous erythrocytes were measured by ELISA.
(2) The 27Al DOR NMR spectra of CAW measured at 9.4 and 11.7 T and spinning rates of 800-1150 Hz of the outer and 5 kHz of the inner rotor show seven sharp central lines accompanied by a manifold of spinning sidebands.
(3) Six airway divisions were identified: four CAW: trachea, main stem, lobar, segmental; and two PAW: subsegmental, and lobular.
(4) We attribute the difference in distensibility of the peripheral lobular airways to their lack of cartilaginous support, and their decreased muscular support when compared to the CAW.
(5) It is an ensemble piece, set in London in 1936 amid the clamour of Mosley’s Blackshirts and the cawing of newspaper vendors on the latest atrocity: another woman strangled in the west end by the so‑called Tie-Pin Killer.

(9) We conclude that networks containing both parallel pathways and Caw are necessary to model ZL over the entire frequency range (2-32 Hz), the effect of Caw is an important determinant of ZL above 8 Hz, and a six-parameter Caw network with the ratio of Caw to parenchymal compliance, Cp, fixed may prove useful in interpreting changes in ZL induced by alterations in lung mechanics in monkeys.
(10) Pink-footed geese fly overhead on their way back to Greenland, rooks caw in the beech trees, a charm of chaffinches sing from the dead branches of an alder, and black-headed gulls follow a tractor ploughing in the distance.
