The presence of membrane proteins in a concentration of 60 micrograms.ml-1 induced a significant decrease in parameter E (to approx.
(18) While the modulus values for relatively large specimens (h greater than 500 microns) remained fairly constant (approximately 15 GPa), the values decreased as the specimens became smaller.
(19) Ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, and Brinell hardness values for the alloys were comparable.

Remainder
Definition:
(n.) Anything that remains, or is left, after the separation and removal of a part; residue; remnant.
(n.) The quantity or sum that is left after subtraction, or after any deduction.
(n.) An estate in expectancy, generally in land, which becomes an estate in possession upon the determination of a particular prior estate, created at the same time, and by the same instrument; for example, if land be conveyed to A for life, and on his death to B, A's life interest is a particuar estate, and B's interest is a remainder, or estate in remainder.
(a.) Remaining; left; left over; refuse.
