Sentence examples for impeding the diffusion of from inspiring English sources

The sensing mechanism depends on the blocking of pore channels when the protein antigen molecules bind to antibody molecules attached to the channel walls, impeding the diffusion of redox probe, ferrocenemethanol, towards the sensing platinum wire overlaid by the nanoporous alumina film.

These results suggest that organized intracellular structures, such as the cytoskeleton, form a restrictive sieve-like meshwork impeding the diffusion of macromolecular assemblies above certain sizes.

It has been predicted that those sites anchoring chromosomes to membranes behave as topological barriers, preventing the rotation of the DNA helix strands around each other and thus impeding the diffusion of topological changes (Postow et al., 2004; Wang, 2002).

Organisational culture is influential in shaping identities and role enactment by individuals [ 5]; in turn, professional roles, identities and working practices can create social boundaries which can hinder inter-professional relationships impeding the diffusion of innovation and change within and across organisations [ 6].

Note that according to Eq. (16), the corrosion rate diminishes with time because corrosion products formed around the bar will impede the diffusion of the iron ions.

On the other hand, too large amount of enzyme on the electrode can impede the diffusion of substances; thus, the biosensor responses will be slower.

The concentration of positive charges of protons entails the formation of a double electric field which extremely impedes the diffusion of other ions.

Though it is widely recognized that geographic constraints and national borders impede the diffusion of knowledge, less attention has been devoted to the temporal evolution of these constraints.

However, graphene-based electrodes often suffer from stacking and self-aggregation of graphene sheets due to the strong π-π interaction among graphene layers, which will impede the diffusion of electrolyte, decrease the accessible surface area, and consequently reduce the effective capacitance of the electrodes [17, 18].

Finally, in line with Geels' claim that powerful incumbents can slow down transition processes in cities [6], the contribution by Viétor et al. [19] shows that large-sized energy companies with the authority to manage and operate energy infrastructures impede the diffusion of promising low carbon energy technology in urban areas.

The technique is based on the observation that brain microstructure impedes the diffusion of water molecules (Le Bihan 2003).
