  • Secondly, not all bubbles may be opened and there may be cracks through the ice to some of these resulting in diffusional release of gas.

  • As was pointed out, heat conduction is a diffusional process so say 1500-1600 was hotter and 1600-1700 colder than average, there will be a slightly hotter than average thermal gradient at the bottom of the bore hole followed by an averaged out slightly colder above that, etc.

  • The main technical features of these two types of plants are listed in table 8 which shows that while fixed dome plants are cheaper they are found to have low reliability in the field owing to several technological and diffusional constraints discussed later.

  • By the late nineteen-thirties, we were able to describe the ventilatory functions of the lungs, and with pulmonary measurements supplemented by arterial blood studies, in rest and exercise, define to some extent the mixing and the diffusional aspects of pulmonary alveolar or alveolar-capillary functions15.

  • One definitely new physiological group emerged, that of the diffusional insufficiency or alveolar-capillary block, with the major interference at the alveolar-capillary interface42.

  • Furthermore, FRAP analysis indicates that EGFP-LC3 undergoes limited passive nucleo-cytoplasmic transport under steady state conditions, and that the diffusional mobility of EGFP-LC3 was substantially slower in the nucleus and cytoplasm than predicted for a freely diffusing monomer.
