Rotary


Definition:

  • (a.) Turning, as a wheel on its axis; pertaining to, or resembling, the motion of a wheel on its axis; rotatory; as, rotary motion.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Twenty Parkinson's (PD) patients and 20 normal control subjects performed two procedural learning tasks (rotary pursuit and mirror reading) and one declarative learning task (paired associates) over 3 days.
  • (2) One significant concern involves the rotary vane aspirators used to provide the suction required for the procedure.
  • (3) Also, induced rotary movement and cyclorotational optokinetic nystagmus are affected differently by the velocity of eliciting stimulation.
  • (4) Direct two-component rotary diffusion constant analysis is found to be too strongly affected by cross modulation between small systematic errors and physically significant data components to be a reliable measure of structural modification.
  • (5) rotary-pursuit tracking and rehearsal of tracking or rotary-pursuit tracking and object-slide naming (nonrehearsal).

  • (7) The more serious sequelae must be ascribed either to rotary deformity or to ulnar angulation at the fracture-site.
  • (8) However, in free fall even without head tilts there was a significant suppression of nystagmus relative to 1 G and 1.8 G force backgrounds, thus potentially masking an effect of head tilt on suppression in 0 G. We have retested four of the original subjects with 90 degrees head tilts to maximize the likelihood of detecting suppression in 0 G. Although nystagmus and illusory after-rotation were suppressed by post-rotary head tilts in normal and high gravitoinertial force environments, there was still no evidence of suppression in free fall.
  • (9) Rotary shadowing showed that 1A6 and 6F6 both recognize the same end of type X, probably the aminoterminal non-triple helical domain.
  • (10) Regarding cyclorotational optokinetic nystagmus, available evidence shows that it is too weak to be important in induced rotary movement.
  • (11) Included in the thermal destruction category are treatment technologies such as rotary kiln incineration, fluidized bed incineration, infrared thermal treatment, wet air oxidation, pyrolytic incineration, and vitrification.

  • (16) In turbidity experiments, the presence of heparin, even in small concentrations, drastically reduced maximal aggregation of type IV collagen which was prewarmed to 37 degrees C. By using the morphological approach of rotary shadowing, lateral associations and network formation by prewarmed type IV collagen were inhibited in the presence of heparin.
  • (17) This device was used to study the ultrastructural features of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and the immunocytochemical localization of spectrin in an "in situ" approach, by freeze drying and platinum rotary shadowing.
