Example Sentences
- "Here we studied serotoninergic innervation of visceral organs during functional load and under pathological conditions."
- "Here we address the question of how embryonic fibroblasts interact with the extracellular matrix to form a functional load-bearing tissue of defined mechanical properties."
- "The significant influences of the functional load parameters on free vibrations are illustrated first. Then using the terms of effective axial force, the influence of functional loads on spanning pipeline VIV response is studied according to DNV-RP-105."
- "The process of bone regeneration in conjunction with biomaterials has been extensively documented, and several terms have been coined, including osseointegration, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction. Osseintegration has been defined as the integration of a screw-shaped titanium implant with direct bone contact, withstanding the functional load without loosening."
- "A greater neurotransmitter release probability should increase the metabolic load (e.g., for neurotransmitter recycling). Another contributing factor is the intrinsic excitability, which is greater in the VH than in the DH. This is consistent with the greater level of metabolic activity in ventral slices in the absence of stimulation. In addition, glial cells will be highly mobilized, particularly for K+ and neurotransmitter uptake. The VH contains one-third less astrocytes than the DH in rats. Therefore, the heavier functional load must be carried by a smaller quantity of astroglial cells, which requires more intense metabolic activity."
- "The difference between voiced and voiceless TH in English bears a low functional load."
