  • (8) Excellent correlation between EMIT and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been previously established.
  • (9) The results indicate that behavior in transition states maintained by reinforcement contingencies in the radial maze is similar to that maintained by extended chained schedules, despite the fact that some of the stimuli controlling behavior in the maze are absent at the moment behavior is emitted.

  • (16) UMLBs (n = 14) had no spontaneous activity and emitted bursts of action potentials that preceded rapid eye movements by approximately 6 ms. Parameters of the burst (duration and number of spikes) were highly correlated with parameters of the rapid eye movement (duration and amplitude of the upward displacement of the eyes).
  • (17) However, Teryn Norris and Jesse Jenkins, of the Breakthrough Institute , argue that as the recession has deepened, Obama has been relatively silent on cap and trade emissions schemes similar to the one operating in Europe in which companies can trade permits to emit carbon dioxide.
  • (18) Sensitive cocultivation techniques were applied to study the radiation-induced activation of endogenous retroviral genomes in different mouse strains by the alpha-emitting radionuclide 224Radium.
  • (19) Eigenmannia is a weakly electric fish that emits a constant-frequency electric organ discharge (EOD).
  • (20) The EMIT assay was found reliable in therapeutic drug monitoring.

Sputter


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To spit, or to emit saliva from the mouth in small, scattered portions, as in rapid speaking.
  • (v. i.) To utter words hastily and indistinctly; to speak so rapidly as to emit saliva.
  • (v. i.) To throw out anything, as little jets of steam, with a noise like that made by one sputtering.
  • (v. t.) To spit out hastily by quick, successive efforts, with a spluttering sound; to utter hastily and confusedly, without control over the organs of speech.
  • (n.) Moist matter thrown out in small detached particles; also, confused and hasty speech.

Example Sentences:
