Conferruminate
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Conferruminated
Example Sentences:
Contiguous
Definition:
(a.) In actual contact; touching; also, adjacent; near; neighboring; adjoining.
Example Sentences:
(1) The nuclei in contiguous groups of cells were modeled and analyzed.
(2) These data imply that the viral subgenomic mRNAs are composed of leader and body sequences which are non-contiguous on the genome.
(3) Close proximity and contiguity of the cut surfaces were important for such growth to occur.
(4) The vessel number, the vessel diameter and the distance intervening between contiguous vessels were measured.
(5) Genes tfdD and tfdE are contiguous in the tfdCDEF operon, whereas the corresponding genes, clcB and clcD, of the clcABD operon, are known to be separated by a long open reading frame of unknown function.
(6) The human histone gene-bovine papillomavirus episome is therefore a viable system for studying cell cycle-regulated histone gene expression under conditions where control is not influenced at the site of chromosomal integration by cis-acting elements of genes normally not contiguous.
(7) We have applied random mutagenesis over short contiguous residue tracts ('windows') within an active peptide (the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase) such that all window residues are replaced simultaneously.
(8) The procedure was repeated for each contiguous section level of the liver.
(9) A contiguous sequence of 25 residues on the surface of the 74 kDa human plasma metal-binding transport protein histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) has been identified as a bioactive metal-binding domain.
(10) One group, tested on delayed response with stimuli and responses spatially contiguous, solved the task at once, whereas the other group, trained with actual stimuli and responses spatially discontiguous, attained criterion after errors.
(11) Postmortem examination showed the tumor to be composed of both malignant schwannoma and angiosarcoma and to have arisen from contiguous neurofibromas in portal tracts.
(12) The Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin determinant is composed of four contiguous genes encoded on the same DNA strand and denoted lktCABD, in the order of their genetic organization.
(13) Magnetic resonance measurements of left ventricular volume and ejection fraction based on measurements of area and length in a single oblique plane containing the long axis of the ventricle were compared with measurements made by summing the areas of the chamber in multiple contiguous slices.
(14) A contiguous panel of markers permitted mapping of the deletion to 17p12-p13.1, the same chromosomal region for which loss of alleles has been shown in tumor specimens from patients with colon cancer, and the same region to which the p53 gene has been mapped.
(15) The deformities resulting from premature closure of a coronal, sagittal, metopic, or lambdoid suture can be predicted by the following observations: (1) cranial vault bones that are prematurely fused act as a single bone plate with decreased growth potential; (2) asymmetrical bone deposition occurs mainly at perimeter sutures, with increased bone deposition directed away from the bone plate; (3) sutures adjacent to the stenotic suture compensate in growth more than those sutures not contiguous with the closed suture; and (4) enhanced bone deposition occurs along both sides of a nonperimeter suture that is a continuation of the prematurely closed suture.
(16) In these cases of low-grade oligodendroglioma, MR was believed to be superior to CT in providing information needed for radiation therapy planning because of its ability to distinguish tumor and adjacent edema (considered tissue at risk for containing microscopic tumor) from contiguous normal brain.
(17) The structural ovalbumin DNA sequences are not contiguous and are separated by multiple "intervening regions" in native chicken DNA.
(18) Common predisposing factors in this older group of patients include infection at contiguous foci, tumors in close proximity to the central nervous system, or fistulous communications with the central nervous system.
(19) Ten freshly extracted teeth which had carious pulpal exposures and periapical lesions contiguous with the root apex were placed inside an anaerobic chamber and the apical 5 mm of the root canals cultured.
(20) First-episode (N = 62) and chronic, multi-episode (N = 24) schizophrenic patients and healthy comparison subjects (N = 42) underwent MRI of the whole head in a sequence that provided 63 contiguous brain slice images.
