(2) The concentration of acetate in the interstitial water fell from about 100 microM (immediately after sedimentation of the spring diatom bloom) to a relatively constant value of about 20 microM in late summer, during which acetate utilization appeared to be balanced by production.
(3) The affinity of the diatom for glucose was greater than that shown by the bacterium, but the Km for glucose transport, 1.5x10-5M was too high to allow effective removal of glucose at in situ concentrations.
(4) We have cloned and sequenced a 5200 base restriction fragment and an overlapping 3100 base fragment of the large single copy region of the chloroplast genome of the diatom Odontella sinensis, which hybridized to several ATPase gene probes.
(5) The material consisted of 285 successive drownings, which were subject to autopsy at the Helsinki University Department of Forensic Medicine between 1978 and 1986 and for whom diatom analysis was carried out.
(6) Substituting size-fractionated silica particles for diatoms (the fossilized cell walls of unicellular algae) allowed for the purification of microgram amounts of genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, and rRNA from cell-rich sources, as exemplified for pathogenic gram-negative bacteria.
(7) In diatom and yeast spindles, elongation of the spindle in anaphase (anaphase B) may be explained by microtubule assembly at polar microtubule ends in the spindle mid-zone and sliding of the antiparallel microtubules from the opposite poles.
(8) Cells of the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana were exposed in a closed system to 0.245 ppm 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene.
(9) Cells of the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana were exposed in a closed system to 0.245 ppm 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene.
(10) Extracted diatom DNA separates into two bands in CsCl-Hoechst 33258 dye gradients.
(11) Quinones constituting the electron transfer systems in a marine unicellular diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, were isolated and identified chromatographically.
(12) A new sulfonolipid has been isolated from a non-photosynthetic diatom, Nitzschia alba, by thin-layer and column chromatography on silicic acid, and characterized by 35S-labeling, mobility on thin-layer chromatography, infrared and NMR spectroscopy and products of hydrolysis, as a ceramide sulfonic acid (N-acyl sphingosine-1-sulfonic acid).
(13) Among eukaryotes, red algae emerged first; and, later, thraustochytrids (a Proctista group), ascomycetes (yeast), green plants (green algae and land plants), "yellow algae" (brown algae, diatoms, and chrysophyte algae), basidiomycetes (mushrooms and rusts), slime- and water molds, various protozoans, and animals emerged, approximately in that order.
(14) The spindle of the colonial diatom Fragilaria contains two distinct sets of spindle microtubules (MTs): (a) MTs comprising the central spindle, which is composed of two half-spindles interdigitated to form a region of "overlap"; (b) MTs which radiate laterally from the poles.
(15) The conformation of berchemolide was calculated by MNDO (modified neglect of diatomic overlap).
(16) Usually algal populations change from a dominance of diatoms and green algae to dominance by blue-green algae.
(17) But it seems to have stuck.” The following year, Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer – an American diatom specialist who had been using the term informally since the 1980s – jointly published an article proposing that the Anthropocene should be considered a new Earth epoch, on the grounds that “mankind will remain a major geological force for many millennia, maybe millions of years to come”.
(18) The particles are surfaces for the attachment of diatoms and hydroids.
(19) Mitotic spindles isolated from the diatom Stephanopyxis turris consist of two half-spindles of closely interdigitating microtubules that slide relative to one another in the presence of ATP, reinitiating spindle elongation (anaphase B) in vitro.
(20) We describe here a simple procedure for isolating diatom spindles which are capable of anaphase spindle elongation in vitro.
Diatonic
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the scale of eight tones, the eighth of which is the octave of the first.
Example Sentences:
(1) In Experiment 1, children from 4 to 6 years of age were superior in detecting the semitone change in the diatonic context compared with the nondiatonic context.
(2) The factors were distance in pitch height from the context tones, octave equivalence, and the following hierarchy of tonal functions: tonic tone, other tones of the major triad chord, other tones of a diatonic scale, and the nondiatonic tones.
(3) In Experiment 2, infants 9 to 11 months of age detected the semitone change in all positions, but their performance was not influenced by diatonic context.
(4) The sequence consisted of a series of frequent standard C5 tones from the diatonic musical scale, in which three deviants (F #5, C6, and F #6) and a target (C4) were occasionally embedded.
(5) They were tested for their detection of two types of changes to that melody: (a) a 4-semitone change in 1 note that remained within the key and implied dominant harmony (diatonic change) or (b) a 1-semitone change in the same note that went outside the key (nondiatonic change).
(6) Adults easily detected the nondiatonic change but had difficulty with the diatonic change.
(7) These findings indicate that infants and children can discriminate a semitone in a musical context and that the priority of diatonic structure emerges by 4 to 6 years of age.
(8) In the present research we examined the development of sensitivity to two musical relations significant in Western tonal music, the semitone and diatonic structure.
(9) Two standard melodies were used, one composed of diatonic tones only and the other containing a non-diatonic tone.
(10) Analysis of responses to melodies in each of the 24 major and minor keys indicated sensitivity to aspects of diatonic structure exhibited by mature listeners.
(11) Listeners rated test tones falling in the octave range from middle to high C according to how well each completed a diatonic C major scale played in an adjacent octave just before the final test tone.
