Colorimetry-based short-term cytotoxicity assays such as the MTT-assay may underestimate overall cell killing owing to the notion that cells may not die immediately after treatment but may instead remain in a transient state of arrest for several days prior to dying (Brown and Wouters, 1999).
This finding further suggests that many cells are at the pre-apoptotic stage, a transient state of cell morphology for subsequent cell transformation or complete apoptosis.
Incorporating the track of solute concentration and its dynamics, the monitoring network accounted for a transient state of plumes which signifies time varying network optimization.
For a transient state, any power allocation policy is applicable as it does not change the objective.
The effectiveness factor is not affected by a transient state since the characteristic time scale for internal diffusion is much less than the period of fluctuation of the gas composition.
The sleep of death in the Bible is portrayed as a transient state after which sleepers are awoken for judgment.
(A and B ) Simultaneous observation of the AB transition and the transient state for right and left handed walking molecules.
We present the temperature fields and the flow lines at some representative instants of the transient state for all angles treated.
(C and D ) Position of the transient state for the same molecule before and after switching actin tracks.
Based on our observation that the transient state for both heads occurs on the same side of the actin filament we propose that the twisting that takes place during the initial binding event of both heads to actin determines the directionality.
