Sentence examples for blocked diffusion from inspiring English sources

The presence of CPE suggests that these hydrogels exhibit a nonideal capacitance originating from inhomogeneous conductivity, microstructural defects in PANI, or electrode materials with blocked diffusion.

To quantify how much methane was transported internally through plants (the chimney effect), we blocked diffusion from the soil surface with an agar seal.

The twist boundary turns out to block diffusion across the boundary – only a few high-energy sites are found in the boundary layer.

The low signal intensity of endometriosis infiltrating the bowel on DW images could be due to the "T2-blackout effect" of these lesions, that are very hypointense on T2-weighted imaging because of smooth muscle hyperplasia and fibrous tissue; their restricted diffusion (low ADC) might be explained by low water content and fibres blocking diffusion.

Therefore, we implant HfO2 layer in SWCNT-FeFET, which is used to block diffusion of point defects and can be used as a buffer layer to relieve the misfit between BNT and Si and therefore to reduce the dislocation density in the BNT film.

Second, the effect of these bottlenecks in the propagation of consensus or the diffusion of information must be kept in mind when designing networks for specific purposes, such as, e.g., innovation networks, albeit they might be useful to block diffusion processes in other contexts, most notably to prevent systemic risk in financial networks.

These discrepancies suggest the existence of strong cultural determinants of smoking, which limit or even block diffusion.

We conclude that the protrusive force at podosomes was less than needed to penetrate the membrane but sufficient to block diffusion of RGD-neutravidin into the contact region.

In general, the binding of a repressor to the promoter significantly increases the duration of the closed complex formation, usually by reducing the probability that an RNAp will find the TSS (e.g. by blocking diffusion on the template) [ 7, 12].

We have observed at most a very limited increase in CT values for bone over the staining process using low-concentration iodine and report that well-ossified adult bone may block diffusion of contrasting agent into the bird brain (Fig.  4).

The clay barriers in a single-component GS system effectively block diffusion-based release, leading to approximately 50% reduction in bolus doses and 10-fold increase in the release timescale.
