(a.) Relating to friction; moved by friction; produced by friction; as, frictional electricity.
Example Sentences:
(1) "There is … a risk that the political, trade, and gas frictions with Russia could lead to strong deterioration in economic relations between the two countries, with a significant drop in Ukraine's exports to and imports from Russia.
(2) Asymmetries occur less often whilst using the low-cervical-pull according to Sander, due to the reduced friction between the two plastic parts of this headgear system.
(3) Since deglycosylation decreases the frictional ratio of thyroxine binding globulin, it is concluded that, although sialic acid and other sugar residues are in contact with the protein surface, the hydrated carbohydrate chains protrude partially into the solvent.
(4) An artificial joint that articulates with full fluid film lubrication could greatly reduce wear and frictional torque and hence reduce the incidence of loosening and inflammatory tissue reaction.
(5) It is concluded that the coefficient of limiting friction obtained during full-sole contact with the floor is a suitable means of distinguishing between tractional qualities of shoes.
(6) The actual stress situation depends on features of the implantation technique, the mechanical properties of all the materials involved in the relevant friction coefficient.
(7) Taking the results of this first series as a point of departure, the next experiment focussed on the possible masking influence of friction noise on the perception of a preceding stop.
(8) The torque was dependent on the physical distribution of the texture of the sole and slightly dependent on the frictional force.
(9) The force required to move the limb can be divided into components required to move the mass, and components required to overcome the resistance offered by elastic and frictional properties of the muscles and other soft tissues.3.
(10) It is shown that the eye tremor which takes place under incomplete tetanus of the musole is possible only at optimal equilibrium of the eye and absence of friction they both are at floating.
(11) Since some surface contact takes place then wear remains a problem and friction is much higher than in human joints.
(12) Since there is no indication of splitting of LDL in 4M GuHCl, it is natural to interpret the result in terms of an increase of the translational frictional coefficient by 50 per cent.
(13) Factors undermining the mechanical integrity of the bone thread, such as cracks, can lead to reduced friction and consequently less ability to hold.
(14) Interactions among the important constituents of the fibrocartilage matrix cause meniscal tissue to behave as a fiber-reinforced, porous, permeable composite material similar to articular cartilage, in which frictional drag caused by fluid flow governs its response to dynamic loading.
(15) The most common blistering diseases encountered in children are impetigo, burns, acute dermatitis, friction blisters, viral blisters, insect bite reactions, and linear IgA dermatosis.
(16) The stability and accuracy of all the methods depend on the amount of viscous pressure loss dictated by wall friction.
(17) In mechanical devices in general the friction plays an important role in force transmission.
(18) Since prosthetic meniscal replacement may be performed in the setting of normal articular cartilage, a prosthesis will be required to match the exact joint configuration, induce the same lubricity, produce the same coefficient of friction, and absorb and dampen the same joint forces (without incurring significant creep or abrasion) as does the normal meniscus.
(19) Tactile afferent signals account for an initial adjustment of the force balance to the current frictional condition, taking place soon after the object is initially touched.
(20) The report recommended that a separate area in the centre be created to house “vulnerable” people and said "as the number of transferees accommodated at the centre increases, this limitation on open space could contribute to friction, disturbance and other forms of protest”.
