Example Sentences:
(1) The possibilities are shown of using officinal glycerin as a polyatomic alcohol in the treatment of alcoholism, in particular, alcohol abstinent syndrome.
(2) The results for iron, cobalt, copper, and zinc were corrected for interferences from polyatomic ions by using a blank solution containing the same concentration of sodium, sulfur, chlorine, and calcium as human serum.
(3) The relative binding affinities of various monovalent alkali metal and polyatomic cations for the TTX-receptor site showed that this site displayed cation discrimination properties which were similar to those reported previously for the electrically excitable sodium channel in intact nerve fibers.
(4) For polyatomic anions the predictions agree approximately but not completely with observations.
(5) By using high mass resolution we succeeded in detecting and localizing 99Tc in cell sections by eliminating polyatomic ions that arise from this biological matrix.
(6) The interface atomizes the macromolecule in a microwave discharge and produces simple polyatomic molecules from the elements contained in the analyte by reaction with a scavenger gas.
