The kinetics of the conformational changes of cTnC during inactivation is slower than during activation.
Pairwise comparisons across groups showed BD-I to be slower than BD-II and HC during the presence of all distracters (all p < 0.013), but no significant differences were found between BD-II and HC (Fig. 1).
Earlier in the evening, however, the EPB zonal speed was found to be slower than the background neutral winds, indicating that during the period of bubble development, the F-region dynamo might not be fully activated.
Political progress during the next decade may be slower than in the past one.
The occurrence of maximum Δ paO2 when exhalation time is longer than inhalation time suggests that, in contrast to rabbit models, derecruitment during exhalation is slower than recruitment during inhalation.
The results demonstrate that the N diffusion during irradiation with low current density (less than several 10 μA/cm2) N ions is faster than that during a postanneal process after N ion irradiation at RT and is slower than that during higher current density (∼mA/cm2) N implantation previously reported.
"Ticket sales were slower than usual during the initial sales period, but we have seen a significant upturn since F1 returned to Europe," said Phillips.
