(20) When the system contains many channels, the probability distribution of the numbers of the channels that occupy each of these states is a time-dependent multinomial distribution and the distribution of the first passage time from resting state to open state becomes an exponential decay function with higher components.
Poly
Definition:
(n.) A whitish woolly plant (Teucrium Polium) of the order Labiatae, found throughout the Mediterranean region. The name, with sundry prefixes, is sometimes given to other related species of the same genus.
Example Sentences:

(2) While both inhibitors caused thermosensitization, they did not affect the time scale for the development of thermotolerance at 42 degrees C or after acute heating at 45 degrees C. The inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribosylation) radiosensitizers and thermosensitizers may be of use in the treatment of cancer using a combined modality of radiation and hyperthermia.
(3) Poly (8NH2G) does not interact with poly(C) in neutral solution because of the high stability of the hemiprotonated G-G self-structure.
(4) Polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid complexes (poly A:U) at the 1-5 mu g level, were mitogenic for spleen cells when given intravenously to normal Balb or cortisone-treated mice.
(5) Analysis of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) expression by enzyme assay and immunoblots, as well as Northern and dot blots of poly (A)+ RNA, in the deletion strains indicates that there are two upstream regulatory sequences that control the level of gene expression.
(6) F(ab')2 anti-Ig stimulates the rapid breakdown of inositol phospholipids in B cells, resulting in the prolonged release of inositol (poly)phosphates and diacylglycerol.
(7) Newly synthesized poly(A) associated mRNA with S value of 25 and a stimulation of poly(A) lacking mRNA of 8--9 S and 16--17 S were found in the CA3 nerve cells of trained but not in active controls.
(8) The mutant ribosomes prepared from the transition-phase cells have much lower activity (below 60%) for poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis than those in exponentially growing or resting stationary-phase cells.
(9) Previous studies demonstrated that, when poly(dT).oligo(dA) was used as a template-primer, both proteins were required for poly(dA) synthesis.
(10) Sequences representing the entire TIR are transcribed into poly(A)+ mRNA at both early and late times in the infection.
(11) The poly(dG-dC) helical duplex forms a modified, B-family structure (B*) at very high hydration and a normal B structure at slightly lower hydration.
(12) After size fractionation on a sucrose density gradient, poly(A)+ RNA encoding for the MDCK taurine transporter was found in the fraction whose average size was 4.4 kilobases.
(13) Poly(ortho ester) bioerodible polymers are suitable materials for the topical administration of a wide variety of therapeutic agents; varying the nature and amounts of excipients physically incorporated into the polymer will vary the erosion rates from a few hours to many months.
(14) alpha 1 and alpha 2 were very similar as DNA polymerases in their sensitivity to several inhibitors and their preference for template-primers, except that alpha 1 had a slightly greater preference for poly (dT) X (rA)10 than alpha 2 did.
