Poak


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Poake

Example Sentences:

  • (1) I expect a very good game from England because they didn’t lose a point during qualification but I still have to say that there is a difference between the championship and qualifying.” This will be Slovakia’s first appearance at a European Championship and they got there in some style, beating Spain 2-1 at home en route to their finish as runners-up in qualifying Group C. Martin Skrtel and Marek Hamsik – the Liverpool centre-half and Napoli playmaker respectively – are their most recognisable names but much is expected of the Milan defensive midfielder Juraj Kucka and the POAK winger Robert Mak.

Pock


Definition:

  • (n.) A pustule raised on the surface of the body in variolous and vaccine diseases.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The problem of estimating viral activity from pock counts that exhibit a substantial degree of overdispersion is revisited from the viewpoint of quasilikelihood with unknown parameters in the variance function.
  • (2) I found myself skirting the wood’s perimeter, a no-go zone of the past for us, and came next to a gravel-pocked face mined by rabbits with one of the burrows crowned with the skull of an ancestor.
  • (3) Elevations in pocked RBC counts were not related to specific chemotherapy regimens or to disease activity.
  • (4) Generations of rabbits have dug their burrows at the top of the bank here, the roofs of an ancient warren collapsing one by one under the weight of cattle hooves or human feet, leaving a pock-marked boundary.
  • (5) The decreased pock response could not be attributed to selection of preexisting virus variant(s) with low affinity for chorioallantoic membrane because cloned Marek's disease virus had a good pock response at low cell culture passage levels, but this response decreased as the virus was attenuated by serial cell culture passage.
  • (6) Cell-associated preparations of several isolates of Marek's disease virus produced more pocks on the chorioallantoic membrane of embryonated chicken eggs than plaques in duck embryo fibroblasts, thus indicating that lesion response in eggs was more sensitive than cytopathic response in duck embryo fibroblasts for assaying low-passage Marek's disease virus.
  • (7) Rabbits had only a slight and inconsistent rise in pocked RBCs after splenectomy.
  • (8) In the patients, pocked RBC counts began to rise within 1 week following splenectomy and reached a plateau (40-60%) by 60-100 days.
  • (9) Compared with some beauty spots, this remains a relatively unfrequented corner of Britain As we cycle down river, the Torridge opens to wide mudflats, pock-marked with the footprints of wading birds.
  • (10) In the absence of inhibitors, pocks were not formed after infection of 84 rabbit embryo clones, or five mixtures of clones containing five to seven clones each.
  • (11) In the present study, CAM were infected with 10(4) PFU (pock-forming units) of RSV (Bryan high titre strain) and collected for electron microscopy at 2, 4, and 6 days postinfection.
  • (12) Militias are reportedly already preying on displaced people whose flimsy huts dot the city, bright flashes of colour between bullet-pocked buildings.
  • (13) However, virus stocks of the subgroup C category, as well as some stocks classified as subgroup B, produced small numbers of pocks or foci on individuals known to be resistant to subgroup A and B viruses.
  • (14) The insertional inactivation of both the thymidine kinase and the hemagglutinin genes of vaccinia virus led to increased attenuation of the virus; this was manifested by the lack of detectable pock lesions in vaccinated animals.
  • (15) The isolated strains produced small necrotic haemorrhagic pocks on CAM, grew well at 39.0 degrees C, formed large plaques in Vero cell cultures, showed markedly more virulence for chick embryos and mice than do variola strains, and produced large necrotic haemorrhagic local lesions with generalized illness and florid secondary exanthem when inoculated into rabbit skin.The finding of smallpox-like illness in humans resulting from infection with a poxvirus of lower animal origin serves to emphasize the importance of thorough epidemiological and laboratory evaluation of all suspect smallpox cases occurring in areas where smallpox has been or is about to be eradicated.
  • (16) Some walls are half blown away, others pocked with bullet holes.
  • (17) In chickens treated with CVF, virus growth in the skin was enhanced, and pock lesions tended to disseminate, leading to fatal infection in some birds.
  • (18) Heterologous interference (mutant with unrelated virus) could also be demonstrated with a ts mutant of Sindbis virus against vaccinia virus-induced pock formation or death.
  • (19) The thymus, spleen and peripheral blood elicited both lymphocytic pocks and splenomegaly, the bursa elicited splenomegaly only, and the bone marrow was ineffective.
  • (20) The results indicate that pock formation by SFV in vitro was the result of cell aggregation, and not of cell multiplication, in special types of cells.
