(v. t. & i.) To go ashore from a ship or boat; to disembark; to put ashore.
Example Sentences:
(1) The nasal cavities of many workers, particularly workers in the debarkers, proved to be contaminated by Klebsiella pneumoniae, other coliforms, yeasts, and molds; usually only one microbe was involved, but sometimes two or several species were found.
(2) Nasal bacteria and yeasts were largely derived from the mill and debarker air; the microbes in the air came mainly from process waters.
(3) A total of 234 persons exposed to microbial aerosols and splashes from paper machine wires and debarker drums formed the exposed group.
Unload
Definition:
(v. t.) To take the load from; to discharge of a load or cargo; to disburden; as, to unload a ship; to unload a beast.
(v. t.) Hence, to relieve from anything onerous.
(v. t.) To discharge or remove, as a load or a burden; as, to unload the cargo of a vessel.
(v. t.) To draw the charge from; as, to unload a gun.
(v. t.) To sell in large quantities, as stock; to get rid of.
(v. i.) To perform the act of unloading anything; as, let unload now.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is suggested that this human model of unloading could serve to simulate effects of microgravity on skeletal muscle mass and function because reductions in muscle mass and strength were of similar magnitude to those produced by bed rest.
(2) The number of motor units which produced either an 'unloading' or an 'off response' exceeded, on average, the number of motor units which excited the same tendon organ.
(3) Torque pulses (of 10 or 100 msec) injected randomly to load or unload the movements stretched or slackened the appropiate prime movers: biceps or triceps.
(4) We conclude that 1) prolonged infusion of ANF causes only transient increases in plasma cGMP levels but a sustained reduction of the cardiac release of ANF and that 2) the beneficial hemodynamic effects of ANF, that is, unloading of the ventricles, may be associated with or, in part, may be secondary to a shift of plasma constituents into the extravascular space.
(5) The first and last test were unloaded and the intervening tests were performed with external added resistances of 33, 57, and 73 cm H2O X l-1 X s in random order.
(6) These results suggested that depressed LV function in the patients with longstanding AS was largely related to limited preload reserve due to LV enlargement and mechanical unloading of LV (correction of afterload mismatch) resulted in improvement of LV function.
(7) We have documented that the profoundly depressed postcardiotomy left ventricle, initially incapable of ejection, can recover during total left ventricular unloading with the abdominal left ventricular assist device support over a seven-day period.
(8) Loading via substrate adhesion was found to be very effective in terms of each of these measurements in retaining the differentiated features of adult cardiocytes for up to 2 weeks in culture; unattached and thus unloaded cardiocytes quickly dedifferentiated.
(9) The cartilaginous potential of the perichondrium has earlier been utilized to reconstruct articular cartilage in unloaded joints in adult rabbits.
(10) We conclude that during the infusion of a pharmacologic dose of ANF the reflex forearm vasoconstriction in response to selective cardiopulmonary receptor unloading is potentiated.
(11) We find that these kinetics were slightly less sensitive to temperature than was the unloaded shortening speed.
(12) Loaded as well as unloaded implants can function as tooth root analogues in maintaining the volume of the edentulous ridge.
(13) Under study was the efficacy of heart unloading in different variants of asynchronous peripheral veno-arterial perfusion (VAP).
(14) On the day of transport, samples were collected at 0700 hours at location 1, immediately before and after transport in a trailer, after unloading at location 2, and at 1900 hours at location 2.
(15) However, the effect of insulin (1 and 10 nM) on bone glucose consumption and ATP content was not seen in the bone tissues with skeletal unloading.
(16) It is unlikely that any elevation in circulating glucocorticoids was solely responsible for atrophy of the soleus in this model, but catabolic amounts of glucocorticoids could alter the response of muscle to unloading.
(17) This new type of unloading effect, exerted by in-series motor units, was demonstrated by the fact that the simultaneous contraction of both units elicited less discharge from the receptor than the contraction of a single unit.
(18) The effects of low temperature on system asc2 suggest a preferential impairment of the mobility of the unloaded carrier relative to that of the loaded transporter.
(19) Stretch and unloading reflexes were demonstrated in the first dorsal interosseous muscle by averaging the electromyographic responses to brief mechanical stimuli.
(20) Experiments were performed to determine the influence of sarcomere length and passive tension on the velocity of unloaded shortening (Vu) as measured by the slack test technique.
