(13) The properties and determinants of hysteresis during ventricular effective refractory period (VERP) measurements by an extrastimulus technique were determined in 15 anesthetized open-chest dogs as well as in isolated ventricular muscle (n = 6).
(14) Hysteresis in the phase transition temperature may be due to the difference in water content of the two phases and their low water permeabilities.
(15) Moreover, the force-aiNa relation observed after increase in stimulation rate from 0.5 to 3 Hz resembled that observed after decrease in the rate from 3 to 0.5 Hz, indicating an absence of hysteresis in the relation.
(16) Hysteresis became negligible, provided the films were not collapsed by further area reduction.
(17) The "Hysteresis Loop" method was used in this investigation to experimentally determine the material constants.
(18) Postanaesthetic preparations of these lungs examined using the Wilhelmy balance exhibited a significant fall of the stability index from 1.73 to 1.25, though hysteresis remained unaffected.
(19) The effects of sarcomere length show that the phenomenon is not due to force per se since, for example, greater peak force produces less hysteresis as sarcomere length is increased towards 2.2 microns.
(20) Bronchodilation results in a constrictor effect of a DI which probably represents relaxation of smooth muscle in conducting airways, thereby decreasing airway hysteresis and allowing parenchymal hysteresis to dominate.
Response
Definition:
(n.) The act of responding.
(n.) An answer or reply.
(n.) Reply to an objection in formal disputation.
(n.) The answer of the people or congregation to the priest or clergyman, in the litany and other parts of divine service.
(n.) A kind of anthem sung after the lessons of matins and some other parts of the office.
(n.) A repetition of the given subject in a fugue by another part on the fifth above or fourth below.
Example Sentences:
(1) Intestinal dilatation seemed in all cases a response to elevated CO2 only.
(2) Direct fetal digitalization led to a reduction in umbilical artery resistance, a decline in the abdominal circumference from 20.3 to 17.8 cm, and resolution of the ascites within 72 h. Despite this dramatic response to therapy, fetal death occurred on day 5 of treatment.
(3) Furthermore, it had early diagnostic (seven days) as well as prognostic value, as revealed by response to therapy and decrease in COA titer.
(4) Patients with papillary carcinoma with a good cell-mediated immune response occurred with much lower infiltration of the tumor boundary with lymphocyte whereas the follicular carcinoma less cell-mediated immunity was associated with dense lymphocytic infiltration, suggesting the biological relevance of lymphocytic infiltration may be different for the two histologic variants.
(5) Age difference did not affect the mean dose-effect response.
(6) These channels may, at least in some cases, be responsible for the generation of pacemaker depolarizations, thereby regulating firing behaviour.
(7) Oxyhaemoglobin (4 microns at 0.35 ml.min-1) infused into the tracheal circulation almost abolished the responses to bradykinin and methacholine.
(8) Three categories of UV response have been identified.
(9) LHRH therapy leads to higher plasma LH levels and a lower FSH in response to an intravenous LHRH test.
(10) Bronchial challenge caused an immediate asthmatic response.
(11) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.

(13) The combined immediate and delayed responses to fleas in the dog are as observed by other investigators in man and guinea pigs.
(14) In addition, this pretreatment protocol did not modify the recipient immune response against B-lymphocyte alloantigens which developed in unsuccessful transplants.
(15) In dogs, cibenzoline given i.v., had no effects on the slow response systems, probably because of sympathetic nervous system intervention since the class 4 effects of cibenzoline appeared after beta-adrenoceptor blockade.
(16) As a consequence, similar response curves were obtained for urine specimens containing morphine or barbiturates.
(17) At the early phase of the sensitization a T-cell response was seen in vitro, characterized by an increased spleen but no peripheral blood lymphocyte reactivity to T-cell mitogens at the same time as increased reactivity to the sensitizing antigen was detected.
