Conveying
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Convey
Example Sentences:

(7) Rather, the regulatory signals conveyed by immobilized ECM molecules depend on the density at which they are presented and thus, on their ability to either prohibit or support cell spreading.
(8) A biography, magazine articles, and various surveys of his work convey the impression that his ideas are timely, or at least that they are historically important.
(9) To explain the opposite effects of GTP in the absence and presence of oxalate, it is proposed that GTP activates a transmembrane conveyance of Ca2+ between oxalate-permeable and -impermeable compartments.
(10) Within the enamel department, workers who handled conveyer hooks used to suspend range tops as they passed through the oven were at greatest risk (rate ratio (RR) = 12.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.90-53.35).
(11) When Barak reneged on his commitment to transfer the three Jerusalem villages - a commitment he had specifically authorised Clinton to convey to Arafat - Clinton was furious.
(12) G proteins are heterotrimeric proteins that play a key role in signalling transduction conveying signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular effector proteins.
(13) The amplitude and latency of the P300 to the priming stimulus were sensitive to the amount of information conveyed by the priming stimulus and the duration of the processing required.
(14) The maternal transfer of circadian rhythmicity and photoperiodic information to the fetus has been clearly demonstrated in several species, as has the importance of the pineal hormone, melatonin, in conveying this information.
(15) Recent evidence suggests that late reperfusion of an occluded infarct-related artery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may convey a better prognosis.

(19) If the abnormal sensation, such as a lump or choking, in the throat was mainly caused by inflammatory changes in the palatine tonsils or their surrounding tissues and conveyed via vagal nerve branches distributing there, the sensation might be reduced by topically injected Impletol (Procaine and caffeine in saline solution), i.e.
(20) A study of seizure activity and neuronal cell death produced by intracerebroventricular kainic acid had suggested that seizures conveyed by the hippocampal mossy fibers are more damaging to CA3 pyramidal cells than seizures conveyed by other pathways.
Intromittent
Definition:
(a.) Throwing, or allowing to pass, into or within.
(a.) Used in copulation; -- said of the external reproductive organs of the males of many animals, and sometimes of those of the females.
Example Sentences:
(1) After PCPA treatment, however, the intromittive and ejaculatory capacity of all experienced animals improved significantly.
(2) A friend in the bird lab conducted a pioneering investigation into the sex lives of mallards (with their now famously cork-screwed penises), a chum in the insect lab down the corridor busied himself with the intromittent organ of the bed bug (think hyperdermic needle) and elsewhere another colleague had just discovered toxic proteins in Drosophila ejaculates that reduce the lifespan of females.
(3) Males implanted SC with Silastic capsules containing ATD displayed significantly less neck gripping, mounting and intromittive behavior than intact males which received empty capsules, although the ATD-induced reductions in behavior were not as large as those seen after castration.
(4) None of the experimental models revealed unequivocal support for detrimental effect of large numbers of intromittive copulations on 'central mechanisms' regulating heat duration.
(5) It rather seemed that frequent intromittive copulations and ejaculates affected the 'peripheral' genital tract (vulva, vagina, cervix) making further copulation of a highly aversive quality so that sexual encounters were avoided or prevented.
