Example Sentences:
(1) Also, dative "verbs" yielded better performance when they were inserted in more complex, three-argument "sentences" than when they were inserted in two-argument "sentences."
(2) However, this decrease in performance was more pronounced for symbols representing pure transitive verbs--those that allow only one argument structure--than for symbols representing dative verbs--those that allow two different argument structures.
(3) Experiment 1 extended that work by demonstrating that dative verbs pattern with other complex transitive verbs (i.e., a fronted filler that is implausible as the direct object will not be interpreted as the direct object until the absence of a noun phrase after the verb forces the postulation of a direct object gap.
(4) N-Substituted dehydroalanines (indexed as AD compounds) are capto-dative olefins which react and scavenge free radicals, especially the superoxide anion (O2-) and hydroxyl radical (HO).
(5) A series of self-paced reading studies utilized an embedded anomaly technique to investigate long-distance dependencies with dative verbs.
(6) Subjects acted out 36 semantically reversible sentences that varied in thematic content (transitives, locatives, and datives) and in the order of thematic roles (canonical and noncanonical).
(7) The hypothetical reaction course is described to proceed through an Sn2 formation of an activated complex involving the initial production of a covalent structure with a dative bond (methyl from AdoMet attacks si-face of the 24,25-double bond of the sterol) and the secondary production of a series of high energy intermediates, the stabilization of which determines the final C-24 methylated product.
(8) Experiments 2 and 3 investigate the prediction that semantic analyses precede syntactic analyses in dative questions.
(9) Geometric model and ligand field considerations show besides the dative type sigma-bond formation, the possibility of both dative and retrodative type pi-bond formation between Co2+ and the AX ligands.
(10) We present a study wherein a severe Broca's aphasic patient was trained to learn symbols representing both pure transitive and dative predicates--predicates differing in argument structure--in a visually based artificial language (c-ViC).
Electron
Definition:
(n.) Amber; also, the alloy of gold and silver, called electrum.
Example Sentences:
(1) In addition, DDT blocked succinate dehydrogenase and the cytochrome b-c span of the electron transport chain, which also secondarily reduced ATP synthesis.
(2) Morphological alterations in the lungs of pheasants after prolonged high-dosage administration of bleomycin sulfate were studied by light and electron microscopy.
(3) It has been shown by LM and transmission electron microscopy that cells with blebs are viable and capable of mitotic activity.
(4) Serially sectioned rabbit foliate taste buds were examined with high voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) and computer-assisted, three-dimensional reconstruction.
(5) Electron spin resonance studies indicate the formation of two vanadyl complexes that are 1:1 in vanadyl and deferoxamine, but have two or three bound hydroxamate groups.
(6) Maximal covalent binding of [4,5-14C]ronidazole to DNA also required four-electron reduction, consistent with previous studies of the covalent binding of this agent to immobilized sulfhydryl groups [Kedderis et al.
(7) This is due to changes with energy in the relative backscattered electron fluence between chamber support and phantom materials.
(8) Ferrocene derivatives, in general, show a degree of versatility, coupling the electron-transfer reactions of many enzymes.
(9) Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that these blebs were devoid of organelles and microvilli; scanning electron microscopy revealed that the blebs were highly wrinkled and more numerous than were the projections observed in tissue from animals treated with testosterone alone, or in tissue from unoperated controls.
(10) Immunogold electron microscopy demonstrated that outer dense fibres were the predominant immunoreactive site.
(11) Electron self-exchange has been measured by an NMR technique for horse-heart myoglobin.
(12) Using serial section electron microscopic reconstructions as a reference, we have chosen as our standard procedure a method that maximizes both the preservation of the cytoskeleton and the proportion of cells staining, while minimizing the degree of nonspecific staining.
(13) Histological and electron-microscopic study of the lungs of 15 patients who had been treated with bleomycin for advanced squamous cell carcinoma demonstrated marked histological changes in nine.
(14) Adenomata taken from 25 patients with primary aldosteronism were observed by electron microscopy.
(15) Digestion of cytoplasmic components of horny cells was observed by electron microscopy, but both cell membranes and desmosomes remained intact.
(16) The amount of intracellular, iodophilic, glycogen-like polysaccharide (IPS) present in cells of two strains of Streptococcus mutans at various stages of growth in a chemically defined medium was determined by quantitative electron microscopy.
(17) Electron microscopic immunohistochemistry revealed histamine-immunostaining in granules in a small number of nerve fibers and varicosities.
(18) Electron microscopic observations of the masseter nerve in the aged cats revealed a disruption of the myelin sheaths and a pronounced increase in collagen fibers in the endoneurium and perineurium.
(19) Dose distributions were evaluated under thin sheet lead used as surface bolus for 4- and 10-MV photons and 6- and 9-MeV electrons using a parallel-plate ion chamber and film.
(20) Widely varying numbers of endocrine cells were identified in 12 out of 64 cases of uterine cancer in the course of histochemical and electron microscopic examination.
