Impairments in the integration of sensory information could in turn reflect diminished cross-modal white matter connectivity.
The authors suggested that a novel DENV2 genotype circulating within Thailand had diminished cross-reaction with the elicited anti-DENV2 antibodies.
This, however, raises two major problems: first, small nanoparticles (below 15 nm diameter) do not show a pronounced plasmon resonance because of a diminishing cross section, and second, a large surface-to-volume ratio heavily damps the plasmon resonance.
The specificity of a probe can be diminished by cross-hybridization, also called non-specific hybridization, a phenomenon in which sequences that are not strictly complementary according to the Watson Crick rules bind to each other.
But privately, some American officials are wincing at a full-scale military operation that is taking a heavy toll on civilians as well as insurgents, and has not diminished the cross-border attacks.
"There has to be a point of diminishing returns," Cross said.
This difference is shown by the finding that 100- to 1000-fold molar excesses of a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 13 24 of α2AP were required to diminish α2AP cross-linking to fibrin by 50% [ 39].
The advantages of using ammonia in a step preceding milling are several fold: ammonia breaks ferulate ester bonds to hemicellulose, diminishing biomass cross-linking, and cleaves acetyl ester bonds of hemicellulose, improving the pentose sugar yield upon subsequent enzymatic sacharification [ 41].
· This week Catherine watched Nigella, "weirdly mesmerising, and Jamie Oliver, who was looking cross and diminished, possibly on account of being hated by every child in the land".
We find that the efficacy of the antineoplastics is profoundly diminished once their concentrations cross the critical aggregation threshold in cell-culture medium, a threshold that is well within the range at which these molecules are typically tested.
Sales to the Caribbean and cross-breeding diminished the breed to the point of extinction, and the last known Pacer died around 1880.
