The center position was within the bulk of the bone cement and did not contact the saline solution; in this case, heat dispersion was by conduction through bone cement and bone instead of by convection through water.
In patients with bone metastases, there was no significant association of serum Dkk-1 with the type of lesions, nor the bulk of the bone metastases (data not shown), although the number of patients in each subgroup was limited.
Collophane, massive cryptocrystalline apatite, composing the bulk of fossil bone and phosphate rock, commonly carbonate-containing fluorapatite or fluorian hydroxylapatite.
Indeed, the above scaling is consistent with the interpretation of the bone marrow as a heterogeneous microenvironment in which the active stem cell pool is distributed in surface niches [31], whereas the quiescent stem cell pool might presumably occupy the bulk of the bone marrow, in accord with the prevailing view of the stem cell pool as metaphorically compartmentalized [22].
At the unveiling, the triceratops was officially christened "Hatcher," in honor of John Bell Hatcher, the paleontologist who found the bulk of his bones.
The results suggest that the principle of flaw tolerance may have had an overarching influence on the evolution of the bulk nanostructure of bone-like materials and the surface nanostructure of gecko-like animal species.
A no-motion boundary condition was applied on the planar cuts of the periotic bone (Figure 15), which separated the modeled tympanic bone with the ossicles and parts of the periotic bone from the un-modeled bulk of the periotic bone.
Although calcification occurred as soon as osteoblasts differentiated and new bone matrix was deposited on the surface of the old matrix, the bulk of the old bone collagen did not recalcify.
The bulk of lead in bone is contained within long-lived compartments of cortical (clearance half-time of decades) and trabecular (clearance half-times of years to decades) bone, with comparatively small amounts of lead in bone tissue compartments that rapidly exchange with extracellular fluid and plasma.
Other empirical results documented in the literature include reduction in skin's sensitivity to touch, reduced olfactory epithelium's sensitivity to smell, loss of muscle bulk and bone mass, loss of sense of well-being, cognitive slowing, and loss of concentration [ 1, 12].
