This symmetrical femoral groove functions as a new guideline for the patellar path and represents a simplification of the anatomic shape of physiologic femoral groove which has a higher lateral flange.
The presence of the BH1, BH2 and BH3 domains in the multi-domain proteins determines their three-dimensional structure, in particular the existence on their surface of a groove that functions as a receptor for the BH3 domain of BH3-only or the Bax/Bak proteins.
Non-groove-mediated functions of Bcl-2-like proteins are not limited to viral members of the family and structural evidence has emerged that Bax may also harbor an alternative interaction site for BH3-only proteins.
My primary concern is getting the new company into a functioning groove as soon as possible".
(c) The size of the scratched grooves as a function of the applied normal force.
The corresponding depth and width of the grooves as a function of the number of scratches are given in Figure 4b.
The AFM images of the scratched grooves at different scratch speeds are given in Figure 3a, and the corresponding depth and width of the grooves as a function of scratch speed is shown in Figure 3b.
Results show that the optimum groove geometry is a function of the aspect ratio.
The scratched groove size as a function of the applied normal force is shown in Figure 2c.
On this basis, the discharge coefficient as a function of groove geometry, flow condition, fitting coefficients and its stable value is deduced, proving to be quite consistent with the experimental result.
Long plant hairs that protrude from the grooves are thought to function as protective structures for the stomates (microscopic pores to the internal tissues), which are located along the side walls of the grooves.
