Material


Definition:

  • (a.) Consisting of matter; not spiritual; corporeal; physical; as, material substance or bodies.
  • (a.) Hence: Pertaining to, or affecting, the physical nature of man, as distinguished from the mental or moral nature; relating to the bodily wants, interests, and comforts.
  • (a.) Of solid or weighty character; not insubstantial; of cinsequence; not be dispensed with; important.
  • (a.) Pertaining to the matter, as opposed to the form, of a thing. See Matter.
  • (n.) The substance or matter of which anything is made or may be made.
  • (v. t.) To form from matter; to materialize.

Permeability


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or state of being permeable.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We conclude that chloramphenicol resistance encoded by Tn1696 is due to a permeability barrier and hypothesize that the gene from P. aeruginosa may share a common ancestral origin with these genes from other gram-negative organisms.
  • (2) These effects are similar to those reported for AVP and phorbol esters, activators of protein kinase C. Forskolin and isoproterenol, which induce cAMP accumulation, activated extractable topoisomerase II (maximum 5-15 min after treatment), but not topoisomerase I. Permeable cyclic nucleotide analogs dBcAMP and 8BrcGMP selectively activated extractable topoisomerase II and topoisomerase I activities, respectively.
  • (3) Inhibition of thymidine uptake is attributed to an observed decrease in thymidine kinase activity caused by growth in 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and possibly to a simultaneous alteration in membrane permeability.
  • (4) In the course of the syndrome development blood vessel permeability was increased in the anterior chamber of the eye.
  • (5) This promotion of repetitive activity by the introduction of additional potassium channels occurred up to an "optimal" value beyond which a further increase in paranodal potassium permeability narrowed the range of currents with a repetitive response.
  • (6) [125I]AaIT was shown to cross the midgut of Sarcophaga through a morphologically distinct segment of the midgut previously shown to be permeable to a cytotoxic, positively charged polypeptide of similar molecular weight.

  • (8) Comparison of the 50% binding concentrations of the compounds for the various PBPs of the five strains with their antibacterial activity indicates that the different antibiotics are excluded to a greater or lesser degree by the outer membrane permeability barrier and that the exclusion is most pronounced in P. aeruginosa.
  • (9) Immunoactive levels of DSIP in the plasma correlated with brain immunoactive levels and with BBB permeability to 125I-DSIP.
  • (10) Cellular aging is accompanied by increased cellular permeability to zinc(II).
  • (11) These results indicate that FMLP increased a pulmonary microvascular permeability in isolated buffer-perfused rabbit lungs that is PMN dependent and mediated by LT produced possibly by a result of ROS production.
