Example Sentences:

(11) Heart rate (interbeat interval, or IBI) and mean arterial pressure were tracked for 90 subsequent beats.
(12) We found that in the SE-BS group the coefficient of variability of IBI duration was highly correlated with the logarithm of mean IBI duration while in the HIE-BS group, there was no significant correlation between these 2 variables.
(13) In contrast to human platelets, both ABI and IBI produced contractions of rat aorta; however, only the responses to ABI were blocked in a competitive manner by the alpha-antagonists, phentolamine, prazosin, and SKF 104078.
(14) Great Egrets, Striated and Boat-billed Herons and Scarlet Ibis older than 30 days of age developed viremias of lower levels and shorter durtions than did young birds.

(16) infusion of hypertonic NaCl solution increased BP and shortened IBI.
(17) Thus, the longer duration of action of IBI may be attributed to the S=C=N group substitution of the molecule.

(19) Therefore, as compared to tolazoline, IBI presents an interesting paradox in its interaction with various receptors or mechanisms in the vascular tissue and platelets.
(20) However, for laboratories where sequence analysis is not a major effort and the expense of a full sequence analysis workstation cannot be justified, MicroGenie and IBI-Pustell offer a satisfactory alternative.

Example Sentences:
(1) Melissa Moore, the Marine Conservation Society ’s head of policy, said: “We’re recommending that the final tranche in 2017 includes South Celtic Deep – a site that supports short-beaked common dolphin; Norris to Ryde, which is rich in seagrass meadows; Mud Hole off the north west coast - 35 metres deep and home to rare sea pens - and Compass Rose off the Yorkshire coast, which is an important spawning and nursery ground for herring and lemon sole.” The government is also set to consult on new special areas of conservation for harbour porpoise and special protection areas to protect feeding and bathing areas used by birds, such as spoonbills in Poole Harbour and puffins on the Northumberland coast.
