We suggest that the extreme water repellency in near-surface feather moss peat acts as a barrier that impedes the supply of water to the surface that replaces that lost via evaporation.
Further, there has been a nationwide shortage of senior experienced doctors and mental health professionals, which contributes to the lack of sensitivity to patients' psychological needs and impedes the supply of post disaster psychosocial interventions (24, 43).
Presence of a joint effusion secondary to increased synovial fluid production increases intra-articular pressure which mechanically impedes blood/nutrient supply to the joint and further exacerbates cellular damage [ 2].
Obtaining mature cells like hepatocytes for drug development is impeded by short supply, high cost, and variable quality [ 8].
Several E.P.A. officials said they had been prepared to issue a narrow report on Aug. 17 that assessed how the program impedes energy supplies, people at the agency said.
However, the high risk of complications such as device fracture from uneven distribution of stress or transport bone resorption from insufficient blood supply, has impeded their clinical use.
The recent violence, which has forced thousands of people from their homes, forced schools and health centres to close down, and put children at additional risks of separation from their families, has also impeded the movement of supplies and health personnel essential to the immunisation campaign.
The lack of oxygen and nutrient supply impedes the cell migration more than 500 μm from the surface.
An elevated plasma Hcy concentration often results from an insufficient intracellular folate or vitamin B12 supply, impeding the re-methylation of Hcy, and is therefore a convenient biomarker to identify subjects with a functional folate deficiency.
In endothelial cells, PEDF binds to the β-subunit of the F1-ATP synthase in a specific, reversible and saturable manner (Kd=1.51 nM in real-time surface plasmon resonance assay, Kd=3.04 4.97 nM in bovine retinal endothelial cells), resulting in a reduced F1-ATP synthesis activity and subsequently lower ATP levels, which impedes the energy supply for angiogenic events in endothelial cells [ 127].
