Based on these observations, two possible injury mechanisms are anticipated: (i) mechanical damage to the cell membrane due to eutectic crystallization, and (ii) intracellular eutectic formation (IEF).
Hurricanes have been observed to cause mechanical damage to coral reefs, including damaging coral tissue and dislodging colonies, weakening corals in ways than could slow recovery following bleaching, and contributing to long-term ecosystem decline [12].
This should eliminate the need for tillage, thus reducing mechanical damage to the soil.
At 120 min time of exposure, AgNPs cause mechanical damage to membrane-bound transport proteins.
Release of Zn2+ ions and adhesion on the cell membrane cause mechanical damage to the cell wall.
In addition, mechanical damage to tissues induced by the fibre form may facilitate HOC transport and bioaccumulation.
Mechanical damage to the coatings initiated coating delamination and substrate corrosion.
Mere mechanical damage to corn leaves doesn't elicit vapors; the plants produced the organic compounds only in response to the spit.
Uncontrolled and large forces can cause drill-bit breakage, drill breakthrough, excessive heat generation, and mechanical damage to the bone.
At Wabeno and Turkey Point, the negative radial growth responses to winter precipitation could be the result of mechanical damage to crowns due to heavy winter snowfall.
Pneumatic microvalves can be fabricated from soft materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and can reduce mechanical damage to cells [12] [14].
