The differentiated osteoblast precursors, characterized by their increased height, produced intensive amounts of ECM compared to the osteoblast precursors cultured on a native polymer (on plastic or on a modified polymer grafted only with RGD peptides derived from natural ECM proteins; data not shown) (Fig. 1C,D).
Upzoning, or raising height, is an intensive process that requires the input of the impacted communities and takes at least a year, if not several.
A high stand density should favour canopy closure of the host species, reduction of stems with knots and more intensive height growth.
Measuring body weight and height of critically ill patients in intensive care often challenge nurses.
British troops in particular saw intensive fighting there at the height of the war in 2006 and 2007.
The North Koreans had already impressed as a fast and fit side, but last night they rose to their greatest height, the culmination of three years of intensive preparation.
At NC, intensive silviculture increased crown-width, height and dbh by 33%, 14%, and 23%, respectively.
At VA, intensive silviculture increased crown-width, height and dbh by 41%, 10%, and 23%, respectively.
The coatings show negligible change in CAs and maintain low SAs after various harsh stability tests, e.g., intensive sand abrasion from a height of 300 cm.
As a surrogate, we used change in height to indirectly assess the effect of intensive glycemia on vertebral fracture, but this method has low sensitivity.
