Canicular
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or measured, by the rising of the Dog Star.
Example Sentences:

(7) In normal resting platelets, GPIIb-IIIa was observed on the plasmatic side of the plasma membrane, the open canicular system (OCS) membranes, and along the internal face of the alpha-granule membrane.
Cycle
Definition:
(n.) An imaginary circle or orbit in the heavens; one of the celestial spheres.
(n.) An interval of time in which a certain succession of events or phenomena is completed, and then returns again and again, uniformly and continually in the same order; a periodical space of time marked by the recurrence of something peculiar; as, the cycle of the seasons, or of the year.
(n.) An age; a long period of time.
(n.) An orderly list for a given time; a calendar.
(n.) The circle of subjects connected with the exploits of the hero or heroes of some particular period which have served as a popular theme for poetry, as the legend of Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, and that of Charlemagne and his paladins.
(n.) One entire round in a circle or a spire; as, a cycle or set of leaves.
(n.) A bicycle or tricycle, or other light velocipede.
(v. i.) To pass through a cycle of changes; to recur in cycles.
(v. i.) To ride a bicycle, tricycle, or other form of cycle.
Example Sentences:

(4) Epidermal growth factor reduced plating efficiency by about 50% for A431 cells in different cell cycle phases whereas a slight increase in plating efficiency was seen for SiHa cells.
(5) From the biochemical markers in follicular fluid, cyclic adenosine monophosphate has a distinct predictive value in regard to pregnancy in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycles.
(6) The results show that in TMO-treated animals the time to the onset of convulsions, the time to the onset of NADH oxidation-reduction cycles, and the survival time were significantly longer than in the control group.
(7) These results provide evidence that trait selection can change gonadotrophin receptor concentration and the dynamics of hormone secretion during the oestrous cycle of the mouse.
(8) Breast temperatures have been measured by the automated instrumentation called the 'Chronobra' for 16 progesterone cycles in women at normal risk for breast cancer and for 15 cycles in women at high risk for breast cancer.
(9) The cyclical nature of pyromania has parallels in cycles of reform in standards of civil commitment (Livermore, Malmquist & Meehl, 1958; Dershowitz, 1974), in the use of physical therapies and medications (Tourney, 1967; Mora, 1974), in treatment of the chronically mentally ill (Deutsch, 1949; Morrissey & Goldman, 1984), and in institutional practices (Treffert, 1967; Morrissey, Goldman & Klerman (1980).
