  • (17) The microfibril has been constructed by convolution of th elementary fibril with a two dimensional point lattice.
  • (18) The differences in performance for successive cross-hand and within-hand keypresses were examined using IKT distributions and hazard functions, and it was shown that the empirical hazard functions could be fit by the theoretical hazard function derived from the convolution of normal and inverse Gaussian random variables.
  • (19) Such a scheme (linear convolutional recognizer, LCR) assigns a number (weight) to each type of monomer, and then convolutes some window function with the sequence of weights.
  • (20) These studies demonstrate that net oxalate secretion occurs in the early portions of the proximal convoluted tubule, undergoes bidirectional transport of approximately equal magnitude in later segments of the proximal tubule, and probably is not transported in more distal nephron sites.

Corrigible


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being set right, amended, or reformed; as, a corrigible fault.
  • (a.) Submissive to correction; docile.
  • (a.) Deserving chastisement; punishable.
  • (a.) Having power to correct; corrective.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In these cases lenses made from Polycon and BPflex were used, which proved very compatible and have corrigated the visual defect in the best way possible.
  • (2) The use of the autoblood with combined blood corrigents (1:4) in severe hemorrhagic shock led to the same degree of recovery of tubular secretion and glomerular filtration as combined blood corrigents alone.
  • (3) The study showed 49% of conditions related to UTI and some corrigible inadequacies in the process of care: 37.2% of indications were probably not justified; 40% of patients who did not undergo urineculture had indications and 13% who underwent urineculture had no indications to the test.
  • (4) Because of incomplete rehabilitation by the moment of patient's discharge from the hospital, it is necessary to continue the corrigative therapy directed at liquidation of the globular volume deficiency, correction of disproteinemia, normalization of the indices of central hemodynamics and metabolic processes in the organs and tissues.
  • (5) The influence of autologous blood, rheopolyglucinum with mannitol and of two combined blood corrigents on tubular secretion (with respect to 131I-hippuran excretion) and glomerular filtration (with the use of 169Yb-DTPA) was studied in experiments on white mice with "irreversible" hemorrhagic shock.
  • (6) The highest effect was recorded when the blood corrigent was supplemented by a compound resuming the electron transport along the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
  • (7) Combined parenteral (dextrans) and enteral (energetic and plastic substrates) administration of drugs and nutrients is an optimal method of corrigative therapy after resection of the stomach.
  • (8) The procedure utilizes the corrigible error correction (CEC) technique comprised of three response curves--standard, Youden one-sample, and method of standard additions (MOSA) plots, from a total of 15 to 18 X,Y data pairs.
  • (9) The existence of a moderate volume deficit, not corrigible with a chronic surcharge of water, together with the reversed diurnal pattern of water excretion and the AVP data, suggest--as a physiopathological basis of the syndrome--a severe anomaly of the osmoreceptors, with alteration of thirst and of the osmodependent AVP responses, so that the AVP secretion was regulated exclusively through volumetric mechanisms.
  • (10) In each case, we use a plaster cast, which is changed after a few days as long as the foot is limp and well corrigible.
