The phrase "desiccation for" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It is typically used in a scientific or technical context to describe the process of removing moisture or drying something out. Here is an example sentence: "The desiccation for food preservation involves removing all moisture from the food to inhibit bacterial growth."
All of the specimens were stored in the desiccation box for 56 days, at which point the weight change per day was less than 0.02 % because an appropriate level of desiccation for cement pastes was required for nitrogen pore analysis.
Most tropical mosquitoes lack any dormancy mechanism, the major exception being the tribe Aedini (includes the genera Aedes and Verrallina), whose eggs can be resistant to desiccation for months or even years.
Phylogenetic and geological evidence indicates exceptionally rapid radiation from single ancestral species over very short evolutionary timescales in Lake Victoria (LV), 447 535 species and Lake Malawi (LM), 451 600 species [10], based on age estimates assuming near or total desiccation for these lakes at 12.4 Ka [11] and 1 Mya - 0.57 Ka [12], respectively.
Their study underlined that the main benefit is a reduced risk of desiccation for the tadpoles.
Lipids were dried by nitrogen stream, followed by vacuum desiccation for 2 h.
Eggs survived complete desiccation for at least 6 months at room temperature.
Mean values (± standard error) of hydrated (H) and desiccated (D) lines of A. ricciae and M. quadricornifera at start of the experiment (M0) and after four (M4), eight (M8) and twelve (M12) months (= months of continuous hydration for H or subsequent desiccations for D).
The requisite RH was maintained at 23°C ± 1°C in the desiccation chamber for 3 days prior to the addition of nematodes for equilibration.
The estimates of the final regression analysis were used to parametrise the simulation model, which predicted the water level and ultimately desiccation separately for 530 pools on a daily basis during May to September 1982 2006.
It has also been shown that diffusion of trehalose into fibroblasts via temporary pores improves survival following deep freezing [17], and remarkably, expression of trehalose in fibroblasts conferred them desiccation tolerance for up to 5 days [18].
The final developmental stage of pollen maturation includes a programmed desiccation process for enhancing pollen-geminating efficiency.
