(1) To resolve the apparent contradiction between Norn's work on human eyes suggesting that postoperative air protects the corneal endothelium and the work of Leibowitz on excised animal eyes suggesting that air damages the corneal endothelium, we have replicated Norn's findings in an animal model similar to that used by Leibowitz.
(2) This technique has been compared with that using the standardized Norn-pipette collecting fluid from the lateral part of the inferior fornix.
(3) Since fewer metabolically active cells may maintain corneal deturgesence even after cell loss we do not believe that Norn's work contradicts that of Leibowitz.
(4) N is also for Nibelungs , the race of dwarfs who live in the subterranean world of Nibelheim in the Ring cycle, and for Norns , three daughters of the earth goddess Erda who have a walk-on (or more usually sit-down) part in the Ring, where they are engaged in weaving the rope of destiny.

(6) 12.02pm: Sky's Norn Ironish correspondent Lawrie Sanchez looks glum and thinks his country's chances of finishing in the top two of their group with Italy, Serbia, Estonia, Slovenia and the Faroe Islands are slim.
(7) The methods of examination by which lacrimal insufficiency can be confirmed are discussed: Schirmer's test (I and II), Jones' test, Norn's dilution test, break-up time, tests with dyes such as fluorescein, rose bengal, and lissamine green 1%.
(8) Basophils were isolated with Day's technique modified by Shov and Norn.
(9) Possible cytological changes of the conjunctival fluid in association with physical activity were studied in a series of 39 subjects practising aerobics, 22 football players, and 29 marathon runners by means of the quantitative pipette method and the qualitative stix method of Norn.
(10) The Norn Lacrimal Dilution test showed increased tear flow after the climate-chamber exposures (P less than 0.05).
(11) to Norn 79%, and 55% for a standardized dilution (2.5 microliters of water) in the same pipette.
Noun
Definition:
(n.) A word used as the designation or appellation of a creature or thing, existing in fact or in thought; a substantive.
(2) Word reading times increased with the cumulative number of new-argument nouns at clause boundaries (as well as at sentence boundaries).
(3) In two lateralized tachistoscopic experiments, we presented (i) pairs of nouns with close or distant semantic associations or (ii) pairs of nouns which were randomly matched and later rated by the subjects as to their semantic distance.
(4) Semantically congruent situations consisted of adjective-noun pairs that were not highly predictable but were nonetheless plausible (e.g., GOOD-AUNT).
(5) As predicted, the younger children were better at correcting the nouns than the verbs; the two grammatical forms were corrected equally well by the older children.
(6) Each sentence was presented and then re-presented with the noun in Noun Phrase 1 (NP1) or Noun Phrase 2 (NP2) omitted.
(7) If a phrase that expresses a comment about a noun can be omitted without substantially changing the meaning, and if it would be pronounced after a slight pause and with its own intonation contour, then be sure to set it off with commas (or dashes or parentheses): "The Cambridge restaurant, which had failed to clean its grease trap, was infested with roaches."
(8) "Like" is a preposition, said the accusers, and may take only a noun phrase object, as in "crazy like a fox" or "like a bat out of hell".
(9) A difference between verbs and nouns remained even when level of concreteness was controlled.
(10) The sentences within each list consisted of stimulus-response pairs of high-imagery nouns.
(11) In Experiment 2, we ascertain that the bias is specific to nouns; novel adjectives do not highlight superordinate category relations.
(12) Thirdly we investigate his comprehension of semantically and thematically related nouns and verbs.
(13) The study is longitudinal and compares the development of body communication and speech (here: the use of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns) during the 18-month period of rehabilitation.
(14) Children's interpretations of the new nouns were assessed by asking subjects to select the named toy from an array of 4 toys (e.g., "Point to a fep").
(15) Imageability, concreteness, and the number of syllables in a word were found not to affect performance, nor were derived nouns more difficult to process than simple nouns.
(16) The development of abstract noun definitions follows the development of concrete noun definitions.
(17) Analysis indicated firstly a superiority of the left hemisphere for the naming of compound nouns in mixed print and pictorial representation.
(18) Of course, even though we brights will scrupulously insist that our word is a noun, if it catches on it is likely to follow gay and eventually re-emerge as a new adjective.
(19) Yet our confusions over the c-word are demonstrated by the fact that it has been common in recent years to find hundreds of women standing in a public arena and yelling the gynaecological obscenity: the setting is performances of the drama The Vagina Monologues, in which one sequence invites women to reclaim and empower the down-there noun.
(20) Instead, the results suggest that the lexical representation of a noun or familiar noun phrase provides a pointer to a nonlinguistic conceptual system, and it is in that system that the meaning of a sentence is constructed.
