(n.) That which moistens or makes damp or wet; exuding fluid; liquid in small quantity.
Example Sentences:
(1) To investigate the physical state of water in hydrating biological macro-molecules, the dielectric properties of water in hen egg lysozyme pellets with various moisture contents were studied using the thermally stimulated depolarisation currents technique.
(2) The gravimetric or loss-on-drying method is no longer listed as the required method; the 1.0% moisture limit is no longer specifically stated in the regulation.
(3) These revisions were made to bring the regulation into line with changes in residual moisture testing methods and the results obtained when new testing methods were applied to the determination of residual moisture.
(4) Glass ionomer cements have the disadvantage of being vulnerable to moisture.
(5) Yet, when temperature of incubation, soil pH, soil moisture content and nitrite concentration were varied in the three soils, and with addition of nitrite reductase inhibitors, it appeared in one soil that NO production was partially a biological process.
(6) Moisture on the skin was shown to increase the discharge to a standard stimulus, probably by its softening effect on the stratum corneum.
(7) The respiration of grain and fungi results in a loss in dry matter as well as the production of heat and moisture which contribute to further spoilage.
(8) The isolates differed in their ability to grow and produce fusarin C on corn with different moisture contents (16, 20, 24, and 28%).
(9) Wet heat shock (60 degrees C, 90 s) and caffeine (3.8 X 10(-4) M) afford significant radioprotection against post-irradiation O2-dependent damage which develops in seeds of approximately 3.5% moisture content.
(10) Because these fungi are fast growing and require high moisture for growth and for enzyme synthesis, the danger of contamination by toxin-producing fungi would be minimal.
(11) Successful colonization and invasion of experimentally inoculated feathers required addition of moisture and elevation of relative humidity within the cultures.
(12) High-moisture ear corn (HMEC) was treated with specific bacterial inoculants and evaluated for its aerobic stability and utilization for growth by beef steers.
(13) Special attention has to be drawn on the problem of microbiological stability because of the necessarily high moisture content of the dispersion.
(14) Chemical composition (moisture, protein, and fat) was determined on the lean portion.
(15) The amount of moisture retained in the patch was also calculated.
(16) The lyophilisate, when exposed to moist atmospheres, picks up moisture to a constant weight.
(17) Inverted or disconjugate caloric nystagmus after air stimulation is much more frequently due to tympanic membrane perforation, or moisture in the external ear, than to central nervous system disease.
(18) Resorption of these substances via the bronchopulmonary tract and a resulting systemic action cannot be excluded, especially if additional active moisturizing devices are used.
(19) A novel analytical method is described for sensitive determination of moisture transmission characteristics of packaging systems.
(20) For that matter, mulching with bark, grit or slate will help keep the surface roots cooler and retain moisture in hot weather.
