Since the Pb inclusions exhibit a lattice contraction in Cu (Fig. 5), it may be envisaged that a compressive pressure plays an important role in achieving the superheating of Pb NCs in Cu [15], as shown in Fig. 12.
Again, this a priori expectation was generally supported because, despite some inter-site variation (Figure 3), mean Porites SARCC outside the reserve appeared to be in near-stasis (Figure 2) whereas Agaricia exhibited a sharp contraction (negative SARCC; Figure 2).
Like those QBs, the QPs exhibited a lattice contraction associated with the surface tension of the thin nanocrystals.
Cuscuta obtusiflora has extensive deletion in those areas too, but also exhibits a significant contraction of the IR, largely through pseudogene loss relative to Epifagus.
They are Exhibit A in the contraction debate.
Cystometric experiments revealed that TRPV4-/ mice exhibit a lower frequency of voiding contractions as well as a higher frequency of nonvoiding contractions.
It is well established that SSRs exhibit a very high expansion/contraction rate, mainly through replication errors caused by DNA polymerase strand slippage (Levinson and Gutman 1987; Schlotterer and Tautz 1992; Tautz 1994).
In addition, the NC70 line exhibits a very shallow contraction profile reminiscent of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, as indicated by an unusually small fractional shortening (systolic/diastolic diameter; Figure 2C).
Particularly, on ileum contraction, the first phase exhibits a fast and transient contraction (phasic component) followed by a long-lasting second phase characterized by the maintained contraction (tonic component) [ 37, 38].
For Pb NCs in Cu, the embedded Pb NCs exhibit lattice contraction since a Pb > a Cu, i.e., the embedded Pb NCs are under compressive strain (Fig. 5).
