A role for PKC at fertilization is suggested by the finding that the potent PKC activator, PMA, can stimulate the initial stages of second polar body emission and trigger a degree of cortical granule exocytosis in mouse eggs (Gallicano et al., 1997; Eliyahu and Shalgi, 2002).
First, we studied the effects of injection of an OA receptor antagonist before the initial stage of appetitive second-order conditioning.
Ricky Gervais has announced the initial stage of his first ever worldwide arena tour.
In addition, a region with dense, small, and radiated new CrN sites was observed on the modified surface of the nanolaminate sealing layer, which was contributed to the nucleation of the new CrN grains at the initial stage of the second CrN deposition process.
Next, we studied the effects of injection of a DA receptor antagonist before the initial stage of aversive second-order conditioning.
Nucleation may be understood to be an initial stage of the complex, first-order phase transition leading to the formation of droplets of a new liquid phase, within the meta-stable gaseous phase.
If the initial stage of her time as first lady was identified with glamour (magazine covers, a high-flying social secretary) and the second was about advocacy (for child obesity prevention and military families), she is entering a third stage: as an upbeat ambassador for a struggling administration, and more than at any time since the inauguration, a designated narrator of her husband's story.
First, a near-amorphous Co thin film including a plenty of vacancies begins to modify its morphology through local atomic diffusion in the initial stage of annealing (see the second panel of Figure 4 and 2b).
In this case, the overall reaction rate at the initial stage of reaction was pseudo first order with respect to Cr VI), i.e., the reaction kinetics was similar to that in the homogeneous system, because elemental sulfur exerted no effect at the initial stage prior to accumulation of elemental sulfur nanoparticles.
And there was a current of self-promotion suffusing the initial stages of the seventh annual APSAs, held for the second year in their now-permanent home of Brisbane.
At the text level comprehension, Glanzer et al. (1984) and Graesser and Mandler (1975) found that the slower reading time is spent by comprehenders when they stepped in the initial stage of processes such as the first sentence of paragraph or the first sentence of an episode (Haberlandt et al. 1980).
