(3) It is shown that when a constant current is applied such that a stable equilibrium and rhythmic firing are present, the following predictions are inherent in the HH system of equations: (a) Small instantaneous voltage perturbations to the axon given at points along its firing spike result in phase resetting curves (when new phase versus old phase is plotted) with an average slope of 1.
(4) The timing of knee extensor activity within the hip cycle is different for each form of the scratch (Robertson et al., 1985); thus, the sign of the reset cannot be predicted from the timing of the stimulus relative to the knee extensor cycle.
(5) But others do: gift cards for Amazon.co.uk, for example, expire one year from the date of issue, while Marks & Spencer gift cards are valid for four years, although each time a customer spends on the card the expiry date is reset to four years.
(6) That is a device which, over a longer period of time, has two functions: It serves as the comparator, which allows the comparison of the past with the present, essential for deletion of a gradient; it also sets in motion the reset to zero, so that the bacterium will not be overwhelmed by any one stimulus but can use all of its receptors to optimize its environment.
(7) To achieve complete resetting however, that is when the pressure threshold increase equals the total pressure increase, blood pressure needs to be maintained at an elevated level for 48 hours in the rat.
(8) This parallels the adaptive changes in the hindquarters of renal hypertensive rats and it is concluded that baroreceptor resetting is a secondary phenomenon related to the structural changes induced in the vessels by the elevated blood pressure.
(9) Zones of nonreset due to interference, reset, interpolation and sinus echoes were defined by noting the timing of the first response after A2.
(10) Ve accelerated with the duration of the individual slow phase of OKN and was reset by each backward saccade (of the covered mobile eye).
(11) Resetting with single extrastimulus was present in 23 cases (group A) and absent in 10 (group B).
(12) The time-course of the decay of INa on resetting the membrane potential to various levels after test steps in potential was studied.
(13) In her first major policy intervention, she said on Tuesday that Labour needed to reset its relationship with business , adding that Miliband’s divisional rhetoric of “predators and producers” was mistaken.
(14) Resetting of the escape rhythm usually followed an exponential curve until stabilisation after about 3 minutes.
(15) Type 0 (strong) resetting occurred when respiratory drive was low, type 1 (weak) resetting when drive was high, and a phase singularity when drive was intermediate.
(16) After 30 min of hypertension, resetting was only partially (60%) reversed within the 30 min of pressure normalization.
(17) The data of the present study, taken together with those obtained previously after 6 hours of hypertension, suggest that during the onset and maintenance of hypertension in rat, acute or rapid resetting of the baroreceptors reaches its maximum in 20 minutes (40%) and remains stable for up to 6 hours, with no apparent change in the baroreceptor gain.
(18) Furthermore, the same type of structural adaptation also contributes to the upward resetting of the cardiac, arterial, and renal "barostat" mechanisms, as cardiac and arterial walls become thicker and stiffer, whereas renal preglomerular resistance vessels participate in the upward structural autoregulation.
(19) Both kidneys in single-clip-hypertension appear to adapt or reset their sodium excretory behaviour.
(20) Autoregulation of RBF was maintained, although reset around the lower flow.
Rewet
Definition:
(n.) A gunlock.
Example Sentences:
(1) Ultrathin layers of polyacrylamide gel bound to glass can be washed, air-dried, and stored for at least 1 year before rewetting in ampholyte solutions for isoelectric focusing.
(2) The transient enhancement of PLTF stability arising from the instillation of these rewetting solutions is unlikely to provide a basis for prolonged symptomatic relief.
(3) Most care regimens used with rigid contact lenses are composed of three solutions: 1) a "cleaning" solution; 2) a "combination" solution intended for storage, disinfection, and wetting prior to placement of rigid lenses on the eye; and 3) an in-eye "rewetting" or "lubricating" solution.
(4) Subsamples were revived under laboratory conditions by rewetting, and the resulting complex microbial populations were analyzed.
(5) Rewetting allows the rapid survey of different ampholytes, gradient stabilizers, separator compounds, or protein reagents and is adaptable to concentration modification of the pH gradient (alone or with a gel overlay), to focusing in a transverse urea gradient, and to electrophoresis across a preformed pH gradient.
(6) Soft contact lens wearers complaining of "dry eye" are frequently prescribed rewetting drops, although the mode of action and efficacy of this treatment have not been established.
(7) Mawle had restored heather moorland, “rewetting” his land by blocking ditches to restore blanket bog, which is rich in rare sphagnum mosses, and also allowed his river to break out of its artificial banks and meander down the valley, reducing flood risk by slowing the progress of water into lowland Yorkshire.
