(7) This program is compatible with any IBM PC microcomputer and includes a hard disk of 10 or 20 mega-octets.
(8) The conventionally stained somatic chromosomes of O. americanus can be arranged into sets of four similar chromosomes (quartets); those of C. ornata, into sets of eight similar chromosomes (octets).
(9) These two octets have the algebraic property of lying on continuously connected planes on the group graph (a tesseract) of the Cartesian product of two Klein 4-groups of nucleotide exchange operators.
(10) These structural heterogeneities within the quartets and octets are interpreted as a "diploidization" of the polyploid karyotypes.
(11) The ability of the mutated HlyA molecules to initiate membrane translocation and be secreted required the presence of the C terminus and, to a degree, the repeated amino acid octets.
(12) A string octet was duly summoned to the studio, in the process astrally chauffeuring Kirby 36 years back to Cambridge, where these arrangements were last performed: 'You know sometimes, when you catch a smell from long ago, and it knocks you for six?
(13) In analogy, some octets of C. ornata can be subdivided into two quartets of chromosomes with homologous bands.
(14) In this adduct, the greater than N:B bond is coordinate, involving the free electron pair of nitrogen, thereby satisfying the octet rule for the second electron shell of boron (Group IIIA).
(15) The two octets of coding doublets have the further algebraic property that the product of their internal exchange operators naturally divide into two exactly equivalent sets.
Sextet
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Sextetto
Example Sentences:
(1) Previous studies of oxygen-derived free radical generation based on spin-trapping methods have shown a signal formed of six bands (sextet) using electron spin resonance spectrometry (ESR) of coronary effluents collected during post-ischaemic reperfusion of isolated hearts perfused with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO).
(2) (1) The matrix concentration of divalent cations has been calculated from the total cation uptake, from the increase of matrix volume and from the ESR sextet signal of Mn(H2O)L2+.
(3) The ESR spectrum consists of a triplet of sextets (aN = 1.48 mT, a beta N = 0.25 mT and a beta H = 0.14 mT), indicating that the unpaired nitroxide electron interacts with the nuclei of a beta-nitrogen and beta-hydrogen.
(4) In the present study we show that, in the rat, this sextet and cytosolic iron release occur simultaneously, and that this signal can be inhibited by the iron chelator desferrioxamine.
(5) This may be responsible for the production of an artefactural signal observed as the sextet.
(6) When the sextet were reeled in with two laps to go, the final attempt at an escape came from Alex Dowsett, winner of a Tour of Britain time trial stage in London in 2010 and out to hone his form for the world championship time trial.
(7) This exhibits a quadrupole-split doublet at room temperature and both a doublet and a Zeeman-split sextet at 4.2 K, due to a distribution of particle sizes.
(8) The sextet is centrally placed about the icosahedral threefold axis, with its edges parallel to those of the facet.

(10) A capsid model is proposed with each facet comprising a small p3 net of 12 hexons, arranged as a triangular sextet with three outer hexon pairs.
(11) The Mössbauer sextet species is EPR invisible and corresponds to magnetically ordered polynuclear aggregates with high magnetic anisotropy.
