Diatomic


Definition:

  • (a.) Containing two atoms.
  • (a.) Having two replaceable atoms or radicals.

  • (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.

  • (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.

Polyatomic


Definition:

  • (a.) Having more than one atom in the molecule; consisting of several atoms.
  • (a.) Having a valence greater than one.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The possibilities are shown of using officinal glycerin as a polyatomic alcohol in the treatment of alcoholism, in particular, alcohol abstinent syndrome.
  • (2) The results for iron, cobalt, copper, and zinc were corrected for interferences from polyatomic ions by using a blank solution containing the same concentration of sodium, sulfur, chlorine, and calcium as human serum.
  • (3) The relative binding affinities of various monovalent alkali metal and polyatomic cations for the TTX-receptor site showed that this site displayed cation discrimination properties which were similar to those reported previously for the electrically excitable sodium channel in intact nerve fibers.
  • (4) For polyatomic anions the predictions agree approximately but not completely with observations.
  • (5) By using high mass resolution we succeeded in detecting and localizing 99Tc in cell sections by eliminating polyatomic ions that arise from this biological matrix.
  • (6) The interface atomizes the macromolecule in a microwave discharge and produces simple polyatomic molecules from the elements contained in the analyte by reaction with a scavenger gas.
  • (7) The topography of the cells is given by the image of the polyatomic ion 26CN-.
  • (8) These included monoatomic anions Cl- and Br-, which bind to the so-called halorhodopsin binding sites I and II, and polyatomic anions NO3- and ClO4-, which bind to site I only.
  • (9) The differences in position of the polyatomic anions in the two sequences indicates that the "binding" site is accessible but that transport is limited by steric factors.
  • (10) The permeability sequence for large polyatomic anions was formate greater than bicarbonate greater than acetate greater than phosphate greater than propionate for GABAR channels; phosphate and propionate were not measurably permeant in GlyR channels.
  • (11) Relative proportions of monoatomic and polyatomic emission vary in epoxy, gelatin and tissue.
  • (12) At present the most important limitation of this method is mass overlap by polyatomic species for some elements of interest (e.g., Cr, Mn, and V).
