Also increasing dye concentration will act as blocking surface between the photons and the catalyst surface.
The TiO2 films, which act as blocking layers, were subjected to 100 MeV O ion irradiation with fluence of 1 × 1013 ions/cm2.
199, 200 Based on this strategy, Chrunyk and colleagues proposed to design small compounds to mimic the binding of antibodies that can act as blocking agents of PPI.
In other words, these soluble receptors were thought to act as blocking reagents, binding to leucocytes and so preventing them from binding to their respective receptors on endothelial cells and resulting in inflammation.
Moreover, LTR RE derived glycoproteins, in particular from ERVs, are thought to act as blocking receptors against exogenous infective viruses (a phenomenon called retroviral interference or super-infection resistance) [ 99, 100].
Although SVs (insertions, deletions, and other rearrangements) often acted as blocks to recombination progression, they also sometimes transformed as parts of longer recombination tracts.
Let G act as a block primitive automorphism group on a 2− v,k,1) design, in this paper we proved that if 2G2 q)⊴G⩽Authen2(q)), then G is point primitive.
Although p27KIP is expressed in supporting cells and may act as a block to cellular proliferation [35], a probe for this gene was not included on our array.
Such idiotypic Ig must be taken into account when planning treatment of B cell neoplasms with antiidiotypic antibody since it could act as a block to antibody attack.
