The increase in volume may be due to the deterioration of elastic fibers in parenchymal tissue, which can lead to breakage of weakened alveolar walls that are under mechanical stress [4].
Splitting of the sisters trapped within one cohesin ring would inevitably lead to breakage of the ring.
Moreover, abnormal lymph flow may also lead to breakage of the lymphatic vessel walls and formation of in-transit metastasis [ 37].
The results suggested that photocatalysis can lead to breakage of glycosidic bonds in dextran and so more number of carbonyl groups are available for formation of SPI-dextran conjugate, similar to those induced by irradiation resulting in obvious increase in UV-absorbance and fluorescence [ 5].
It is attributed to the fact that a shear force required to break chemical bonds is much larger than a normal force that leads to breakage of chemical bonds [53, 54].
Importantly, the fast sample spinning leads to breakage of the capillary tube, releasing the liquid adsorbate within the rotor (in our experience, the capillary tube breaks immediately on subjecting the rotor to MAS).
The free electron pair of the ethylene glycol attacks the carbonyl carbon of the PET ester group, and then the covalent bonding between the hydroxyethyl group of ethylene glycol and the carbonyl carbon of PET is formed, which leads to breakage of the long chain into short chain oligomers and creation of BHET.
Thus, one possibility is that the failure to dissolve the interacting homologues leads to breakage of the entangled chromosomes and death of the spores containing them [57].
Repeated relaxing can lead to breakage, brittleness or loss of hair.
