The phrase "half sector" is correct and can be used in written English.
It refers to half of a circular or pie-shaped area or region. Example: She only ate half of the watermelon, leaving the other half for her brother. As a result, her plate looked like a half sector of a pie.
In the event of the selection of appropriate half sector angle, taking into account the closeness of the geometries of the sector and trapezoidal type element, the flexibility matrix of the sector type element with crack are derived by means of the flexibility matrix of the trapezoidal type element.
Thus before endorsing this work for acceptance, all the mutant analyses should be carried out via a half sector analysis to provide a quantitative measurement for comparison (rather than the semi quantitative analysis of relative sectoring that was presented).
In addition to reduction of half sector colonies, inhibition of PKA activity reduced the frequency of red colonies (total CF loss) in ndc10 -1 cells by ∼17-fold in the absence of RAS2 and ∼2-fold when BCY1 was overexpressed (Table 1).
c, Examples of the three different GUS sector categories: basic sectors originate from a single-cell clone induced before the activation of secondary growth (red, 75%), large sectors originate from a cluster of clones simultaneously induced in several neighbouring cells (black, 19%), and half sectors originate from a single-cell clone induced after the activation of secondary growth (purple, 6%).
Compared to the wild-type diploid, colonies of the sir1, sir3 and sir4 hemizygotes showed a modest yet consistent increase in the number of green sectors and a higher occurrence of half sectors (Table 1 and Figure 6B).
In strains containing HMRα::cre instead of HMLα::cre, sir1Δ colonies showed elevated sectoring and a higher abundance of half sectors in comparison to wild-type colonies, as well (Table 1 and Figure 5).
For WT cells, the CIN rate measured with qCTF assay was within 2-fold of that estimated with CTF assay that scored for half sectors but ∼20 fold greater than that estimated from ALF.
This background did sensitize the sectoring phenotype of hst3Δ colonies as it did for wild-type colonies (compare the hst3Δ colonies between panels A and B in Figure 7 figure supplement 1), but it had a more variable effect on the frequency of half sectors, which is now discussed in the Results.
Then, the following equation was used to calculate the half-sector frequency: # of half-sectored colonies/(# of total colonies–# of fully green colonies) Three independent experiments were performed for each genotype.
(B ) Frequency of half-sectored colonies for the hst3Δ mutant shown in panel A. The half-sector frequency of the hst3Δ mutant was significantly greater (p = 6 × 10−6; Student's t test) than the half-sector frequency of wild type (red dotted line represents the rate shown in Figure 3B ).
Two half-sector models of the ITER full-scale vacuum vessel were successfully fabricated with an accuracy of below 3 mm.
