  • (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.

Luminous


Definition:

  • (a.) Shining; emitting or reflecting light; brilliant; bright; as, the is a luminous body; a luminous color.
  • (a.) Illuminated; full of light; bright; as, many candles made the room luminous.
  • (a.) Enlightened; intelligent; also, clear; intelligible; as, a luminous mind.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A specimen of a very early ovum, 4 to 6 days old, shown in the luminal form of imbedding before any hemorrhage has taken place, confirms that the luminal form of imbedding does occur.
  • (2) By increasing luminal air pressure from 10 to 20 cm H2O a significant reduction in GBF was observed.
  • (3) F pili could be seen on cells of the latter strain but not on those of the parental strain or the strain bearing pColVF54 luminal diameter r. Pili other than F pili were not seen on cells of the strains bearing pF54 in either form.
  • (4) In the area of the porta hepatis, there were many epithelial luminal structures in fibrous tissue with inflammatory infiltrates.
  • (5) At high luminances, the temporal, but not spatial, properties of this mechanism break down in a manner which had not been studied.Low-frequency inhibitory processThis process is manifest as a decrease in sensitivity from that of the simple excitatory process.
  • (6) Luminal and myoepithelial cells have been separated from normal adult human breast epithelium using fluorescence activated cell sorting.
  • (7) Conclusions derived from these studies are: 1) The model used is a valid means of studying in vivo luminal disappearance of PLP in the rat jejunum; 2) a major portion of the disappearance seems to involve hydrolysis by alkaline phosphatase; 3) a significant portion of this hydrolysis occurs intraluminally; and 4) a second mechanism of PLP disappearance, which is nonphosphatase-mediated, also appears operative and may represent absorption of the intact, phosphorylated vitamin.
  • (8) In man, well-controlled studies in selected groups of patients have already shown that a reduction of luminal stenosis may take place.
  • (9) These alterations include fenestration, widened intercellular junctions, increase in pinocytotic vesicles, and infolding of the luminal surface.
