(17) The complex was found to be unstable toward low values of pH and ionic strength, concentrations of urea exceeding 1 M, modifications of the cysteine residues, and fragmention in which the C terminal portions of either H3 or H4 are removed.
(18) Thirty-six per cent of 972 patients developed fever (temperature exceeding 38 degrees C).
(19) Moxalactam serum levels far exceeded the recommended therapeutic range.
(20) Pure sarcomas of the esophagus are exceedingly rare.
Overshoot
Definition:
(v. t.) To shoot over or beyond.
(v. t.) To pass swiftly over; to fly beyond.
(v. t.) To exceed; as, to overshoot the truth.
(v. i.) To fly beyond the mark.
Example Sentences:

(2) To determine if this age difference resulted from a prolonged active state, electromechanical dissociation and the overshoot of contraction duration during recovery from hypoxia were measured.
(3) At reoxygenation the contraction force increased with a first peak overshooting 50% of the initial aerobic value after 5-10 min, to decline during the following 10-15 min to a plateau slightly below the initial aerobic value.
(4) Depolarization with high [K+]o induced a large but transient [Ca2+]i overshoot in hypothyroid myocytes, but not in hyperthyroid myocytes, before a new elevated steady-state [Ca2+]i was reached, which was not different between the groups.
(5) In hypertrophied cardiac muscle, the overshoot of the slow APs was increased by 75%, the maximum rate of rise (Vmax) increased by 76% and the AP duration at 50% repolarization (APD50) prolonged by 56%.
(6) Thus the overshoot effect was markedly reduced by aspirin because the drug partially counteracted the normally poor detectability for signals presented soon after masker onset.
(7) Activities in old rat livers returned to the basal level on day 5 of ND, while activities in young animal livers that increased to levels higher than basal levels due to the overshoot returned to the basal level on day 7 of ND.
(8) When sodium intake is increased abruptly (by 20 mmol day-1, 0.3 mmol kg-1), total sodium excretion only increases gradually but after about 3 days it 'overshoots' as in humans.
(9) The persistence of the phosphocreatine overshoot phenomenon, while basal function was already normalized, indicates that a reduced function and thus a reduced energy demand of the contractile apparatus are not the cause of the phosphocreatine overshoot.
(10) The resultant kinetic model can produce a response that overshoots, quickens, and eventually saturates as the input intensity is increased.
(11) Significant overshoots in blood pressure and heart rate, reaching peak values 16 to 26 hr after the last injection, occurred in all clonidine-treated rats, but in no control rats.
