Tetanus relaxation consists of a slow linear phase followed by a fast exponential phase.
For these proteins, oxaloacetate activity was assayed at high enzyme concentration (600 nM–1 μM), resulting in a biphasic ΔA340 trace with an initial burst in which pyruvate is rapidly consumed followed by a slower linear phase representing oxaloacetate reduction.
In studies where protocols to remove Cd bound in the apolasm were absent or inadequate, short-term (<3 h) time-dependent accumulation of Cd by roots was characterised by a rapid curvilinear phase of accumulation followed by a slower linear phase of accumulation [ 17, 23- 25].
This revealed that laser abscission of the lamellae leads to an initial rapid exponential decay that is caused by the sudden release of lamellar tension, followed by a slower linear phase as the retrograde actin flow continuously pulls in the network.
Meanwhile, the WinTel monopoly is taking PCs along a slow linear path, where features and user experience drag way behind available technology.
But these four are sufficiently advanced to tell us that we need to look at climate change in a new way: not as a slow, linear process to which we can adapt over time, but as a non-linear set of events involving dramatic and irreversible changes to the global ecosphere.
Researchers generally report a rapid increase in psychomotor proficiency from about the age of five years to the end of the second decade, followed by a few years of relative stability and then by a slow, almost linear decrease as the ninth decade is approached.
A relatively slow, linear decrease follows subsequent 2 or 3 hours.
Most people imagine societal change as a slow and linear process.
In early stages of development, the heart is a slow conducting linear tube.
