(8) Injections of nonsonicated Renografin caused less depression of systolic wall thickening (p less than 0.05), faster resolution of wall motion abnormalities (p less than 0.05), less contrast (p less than 0.001) and more rapid contrast washout (p less than 0.001) than did 12 micron bubbles in Renografin.
(9) Sonicated specimens were found to have fewer aggregates, a lower percentage of cells in S-phase (%S) and G2M phase than the corresponding nonsonicated specimens.

(16) The ultrasonic velocity at 3 MHz and the density in the nonsonicated and sonicated liposomes of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine have been measured in the temperature range from 0 degrees C to 55 degrees C. The results indicate that nonsonicated multilamellar vesicles undergo a weak first order transition which is analogous to the nematic-isotropic transition of liquid crystals.
(17) Cultures of sonicated and nonsonicated chlamydial specimens were compared using a Heat Systems sonicator with a cup-horn attachment for sonication.

(19) Data on the specifically deuterium-labeled cholesterol molecule (in nonsonicated membrane systems) permits an estimate of the most probable angle of tilt of the sterol in the membrane, and evaluation of the order parameter (Salpha) describing rigid body motions in the bilayer.
(20) The recovery of 121 varicella zoster virus and cytomegalovirus isolates in human fibroblast vials from sonicated versus nonsonicated passage suspensions was studied.
Unvoiced
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) No differences were found in error percentages of voiced and unvoiced phonemes.
(2) The findings lend support to the point-of-view that listeners may be able to narrow the choice of the vowel in an unvoiced-stop-consonant CV to a small number of alternatives prior to the beginning of voicing.
(3) The vibrators were driven at 250 Hz during voiced segments, and by random noise during unvoiced segments.
(4) Immediately following word-learning experiments, subjects were asked to place 16 CVs into five phonemic categories (voiced & unvoiced stops, voiced & unvoiced fricatives, approximants).
(5) 3) In "on-off phonation test", ATAXICs showed prolonged unvoiced intervals, while SPASTICs did prolonged voiced intervals.
(6) At speech-to-noise ratios between -3 and 6 dB, many hearing-impaired listeners have difficulty in understanding speech, but spectrograms reveal that the formant peaks of voiced speech and some of the spectral peaks associated with unvoiced speech stand out against the background noise.
(7) Results showed that 6 of the 8 children generalized both the voiced and unvoiced target sounds to 50% or more of the target sound probe items.
(8) The spectral transition is more crucial than unvoiced and buzz bar periods for consonant (syllable) perception, although the latter features are of some perceptual importance.
(9) The signals were six broadband noises whose spectral shapes were modeled after the spectra of unvoiced fricative and plosive consonants.
(10) The well-known speech production model is considered, where the speech signal is modeled as the output of an all-pole filter driven either by some white noise sequence (unvoiced speech) or by the sum of a periodic excitation and a noise sequence (voiced speech).
(11) However, if bandwidth compression is applied to the unvoiced portions of speech only, the above limitations can be overcome (1).
(12) The governing equations are derived for a model based on this mechanism, and data on unvoiced trills are used to help set parameters for a numerical simulation of the model.
