  • (13) The effects of dantrolene on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and contractile machinery were examined in skinned skeletal muscles of guinea pigs.
  • (14) Secretion, however, depends on neither an N-terminal signal sequence nor on SecA, which is part of the normal cellular export machinery for periplasmic and outer membrane proteins.
  • (15) The localization of these key components of the pre-mRNA splicing machinery to speckled nuclear regions suggests that these regions may be involved in pre-mRNA splicing.
  • (16) In circumstances in which energy conversion rate and supplies of reducing power exceed the capacity of the biosynthetic machinery, energy-dependent H2 production presumably represents a regulatory device that facilitates "energy-idling."
  • (17) Overexpression of these genes, which probably encode lipoproteins, could have deleterious effects on E. coli hosts, possibly as a result of impairing the protein export machinery.
  • (18) Major intra-abdominal arteriovenous fistulas usually present with a machinery bruit over a pulsatile mass, but may present more subtly with pain and otherwise unexplained hematuria.
  • (19) Sales of tractors and other farm machinery are down by 70%, said Dave Dorsett of Reynolds farm equipment in Martinville.
  • (20) By using a temperature-sensitive allele, we have found that that norpA mutation has little or no effect on either the rhodopsin-metarhodopsin transition or the machinery of quantum bump production.

Pitman


Definition:

  • (n.) One who works in a pit, as in mining, in sawing timber, etc.
