The phrase "adjacent shafts" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe two or more shafts that are next to each other or in close proximity, often in a technical or engineering context.
Example: "The engineers examined the adjacent shafts to ensure they were properly aligned and functioning."
Alternatives: "neighboring shafts" or "contiguous shafts".
As workers tried to drain the millions of gallons of water that had gushed in from an adjacent shaft, a government safety body accused the mine's construction managers of ignoring warning signs in their rush to start production.
Average intensities of spines and adjacent shaft regions were exported to Excel, ratios were calculated and data were plotted using Graphpad Prism.
The fluorescent intensities of myc signals in spine heads and directly adjacent shaft regions were manually measured using intensity profile tool (crossed lines) of NIS-Elements.
Shaft coupling, in machinery, a device for providing a connection, readily broken and restored, between two adjacent rotating shafts.
Axonal varicosities were defined as swellings of the axonal shaft with a varicosity diameter ≥1.25 times the diameter of the adjacent axonal shaft and fluorescence signal in the varicosity ≥1.30 greater than that of the adjacent axonal shaft (Cheetham et al. 2008).
We conclude that repeated iterations of dendritic protrusion or spine outgrowth adjacent to shaft synapses is very likely to be a critical component of the shaft-to-spinous synapse transition during CNS development.
They broke in via an adjacent lift shaft, drilled through a thick concrete wall and broke into 73 security boxes without leaving a forensic trace.
However, recent work suggests that the movement of molecules and organelles between the spine and the adjacent dendritic shaft can critically influence synaptic plasticity.
However, recent work suggests that the movement of molecules and organelles between the spine and other neuronal compartments, such as the adjacent dendritic shaft, influences synaptic plasticity.
In contrast, the postsynaptic elements in our synaptosomes are pinched off from the adjacent dendritic shaft, thereby providing a means to study plasticity in physically isolated dendritic spines.
The boundaries between a varicosity and the adjacent axonal shaft were defined as a points where the transverse diameter of the varicosity increased above the diameter of the adjacent axonal shaft in each optical section.
