Sentence examples for diffusion and consumption from inspiring English sources

To explain this biofilm formation pattern, a two-dimensional mechanistic model based on substrate diffusion and consumption accompanied by microbial growth and detachment was developed in this study.

In addition, the model demonstrated that cell culture in fibrin hydrogels can lead to complete anoxia in the centre of the hydrogel for realistic values of oxygen diffusion and consumption.

The model describes diffusion and consumption of sugars and nitrogen of sweet sorghum and single cell oil production in a biofilm, which grows according to the kinetics of double-substrate limitation (sugars and nitrogen) with sugar inhibition.

In this study, an apparatus was developed to measure oxygen diffusion and consumption in compacted asphalt mixtures, and methods to compute oxygen diffusion and possible consumption of asphalt mixtures were evaluated and compared.

The model has three components: a transient partial differential equation for the simultaneous diffusion and consumption of a limiting nutrient; a cellular automaton describing cell migration, proliferation, and collision; and equations that quantify how the varying nutrient concentration modulates cell division and migration.

This model incorporated proliferation, diffusion and consumption of nutrients, diffusion and production of wastes, adhesion and cell environmental interactions.

The imbalance between slow diffusion and rapid consumption of oxygen in plant roots drastically reduces the oxygen supply [ 3], which is vital to the survival of plant roots.

The results in Fig. 5 and Table 1 clearly indicate that immobilizing techniques affect the internal diffusion of glucose and consumption rate (Galaction et al. 2010).

Although H2O2 is able to diffuse across biomembranes, due to its limited diffusion and rapid enzymatic consumption inside cells, concentration gradients of H2O2 are formed across membranes [39, 40].

The child was exposed prenatally through placental diffusion and postnatally through consumption of breast milk.

ROL, the flux of O2 from the aerenchyma to the soil, is determined by the concentration gradient, the physical resistance to O2 diffusion in a radial direction, and consumption of O2 by cells along this radial diffusion path (Armstrong 1979; Colmer 2003a).
