(15) It is more likely that the modulation of atmospheric gas composition is based on the colligative properties of exponentially growing mixed populations of microorganisms rather than on "daisies".
(16) The primary actions of ethanol result from colligative effects of the high molar concentrations rather than from specific interactions with receptors.
(17) The antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGP) of polar fish have the ability to depress the freezing temperature of water approximately 500 times the amount expected based on the number of AFGP molecules in solution; yet AFGP solutions have a purely colligative melting point depression.
(18) It is known from the physical chemistry that mucoid substances (glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, glycoproteins) constitute polyanionic gels with anomalous colligative behaviour and differential preference for binding some cations such as H+, K+, Ca2+.
(19) Once these concepts have been established and the advantages and limitations of its cytologic packaging recognized, the study of the erythrocyte as expressed in its dimensions, colligative aspects, geometry, internal morphology and pathologic variations can be approached in a purposeful manner.
(20) The data, in combination with other findings, lead to two conclusions: (a) The protection from glycerol is due to its colligative ability to reduce the concentration of sodium chloride in the external medium, but (b) the protection is less than that expected from colligative effects; apparently glycerol itself can also be a source of damage, probably because it renders the red cells susceptible to osmotic shock during thawing.
Logic
Definition:
(n.) The science or art of exact reasoning, or of pure and formal thought, or of the laws according to which the processes of pure thinking should be conducted; the science of the formation and application of general notions; the science of generalization, judgment, classification, reasoning, and systematic arrangement; correct reasoning.
(n.) A treatise on logic; as, Mill's Logic.
Example Sentences:
(1) It would seem logical to select an antihypertensive drug that does not reduce exercise capacity when treating physically active patients with mild and moderate hypertension.
(2) In clinical situations in which complement is damaging, the logical therapy should be, if at all possible, the removal of the activated complement components from the circulation.
(3) Opposition to legal abortion takes magical thinking and a lack of logic | Jessica Valenti Read more The only female Republican candidate for the White House has doubled down on her restrictive position over reproductive rights since a successful debate performance .
(4) The rationale for this assumption seems logical because using all of the available accommodation is not sustainable without discomfort.
(5) He always had a logical approach to his arguments and I would have described him as fair at the time.
(6) Greece sincerely had no intention of clashing with its partners, Varoufakis insisted, but the logic of austerity was such that policies conducted in its embrace could only fail.
(7) The ordered aspect of the genetic code table makes this result a plausible starting point for studies of the origin and evolution of the genetic code: these could include, besides a more refined optimization principle at the logical level, some effects more directly related to the physico-chemical context, and the construction of realistic models incorporating both aspects.
(8) The diagnosis of cervical injuries may be facilitated by following a logical pattern of analysis searching for abnormalities of alignment and anatomy, of bony integrity, of the cartilage or joint spaces, and of the soft tissues.
(9) The end of the cold war and a reshaping of the threats faced by the UK had undermined the logic of nuclear deterrence strategy, he said.
(10) Cameron knew the latter option was not open to him, and had the guts to follow where the implacable logic led.

(12) It imposes a standard of logical reductionism and methodological purity that not only violates the nature of psychoanalytic knowledge, but imposes an invalid standard of verification and scientific confirmation.
(13) A second, un-named Encephalitozoon-like intestinal microsporidia has been identified in five AIDS patients with chronic diarrhea; because it infects lamina propria macrophages, it was logical to investigate its dissemination.
