Sentence examples for contraction reduction from inspiring English sources

However, as IST is progressively reduced, the retarding effect of the consequent length contraction (reduction in l'; Equation 1) counters and eventually overcomes the effect of IST reduction, so that perceived velocity diminishes.

Our data suggest that electrospun ccPU scaffolds meet the requirements to reduce HSc contraction including reduction of in vitro HSc related outcomes, diminished scar stiffness, and reduced scar contraction.

The algorithm searches for the optimum solution efficiently in the three-dimensional parameter space (i.e., smoothness, position shift, and length correction) using "Reflection", "Expansion", "Contraction", and "Reduction" of tetrahedrons depending on the values on the nodes without information of gradient at each node.

Using HF-model rats, dos Santos et al. [ 16] reported that sitagliptin (40 mg/kg) administered for 6 weeks exhibited a significant improvement in cardiac contraction and reduction in LV end-diastolic pressure and chamber stiffness.

As intracellular Na does not play a direct role in excitation contraction coupling, reduction in Na current is likely having its effect on contractility via an effect on levels of intracellular Ca. There are several ways reduction in the density of functional Na channels might lessen the action potential Ca transient.

The frequency of antral contractions was defined as the number of contractions during a 25-minute interval, recorded per five minutes, and the antral contractions were defined as one time while the maximal contraction-induced reduction of the antral area (difference between relaxed and contracted area) as a fraction of the relaxed area (Δ A/ A) > 50% as our previous study [ 11].

Normalization of the forces to the uninjured internal control muscle (= 1.0) demonstrated that the injury had its greatest functional impact on tetanic contractions with a reduction to 0.23, while twitch contraction remained at almost half of the value of the healthy muscles after the first week.

These effects were studied by using dies of various contraction angle and reduction ratio for resins having a variety of molecular architecture.

Under the triaxial compression test, the loose soil samples underwent contraction and volume reduction, whereas the dense samples swelled and failure cracks appeared clearly at various planes.

Study on animal models showed enhanced rate of wound contraction and drastic reduction in healing time than control, which might be due to enhanced epitheliasation.

Indeed, higher circulating levels of LTC4 and LTD4 have been found in the menstrual blood of women with primary dysmenorrhea [13, 14] and thus, the inhibition of uterine contraction via a reduction of these cysteinyl-leukotrienes represents a plausible molecular mechanism for the BNO 1095 action, as observed in the rat in vivo experiments.
