The epidermis forms the outermost, water-impermeable layer that protects against the hostile environment and retains bodily fluids inside.
The polymeric systems would then encounter different extent of swelling due to the repulsion forces between the ionized carboxyl groups [33], thus causing the drug molecules to be diffused through water-filled outermost layer at a different rate.
In some highly specialized tree species with large vessels (such as some oaks, ashes, and others), only the very outermost growth ring functions in water conduction.
The depth and exposition are the most important variables explaining the coastal temperature gradients from the innermost to the outermost areas in springtime when water is heated by increasing solar radiation.
This clearly shows the presence of chemically bound water on the outermost surface originating from the used Fe(BF4 2(H2O)6 precursor.
Moisturizers hydrate the skin by holding water in the outermost layer of the skin.
In theory, there is a gravitational attraction between every drop of sea water and even the outermost star of the universe.
The epidermis is the outermost covering and provides protection from water and pathogens.
Decreased barrier function leads to increased water loss through the outermost layer of the skin, resulting in a decrease in water content of this particular layer of skin, increased permeability to hydrophilic substances, decreased ceramides in the skin and decreased barrier to infectious agents.
The investigation focused on the experimental determination of electrophoretic mobility (EPM) under a range of pH and ionic strength, as well as by subsequent modeling in which Shewanella cells were considered to be soft particles with water- and ion-permeable outermost layers.
Hiiaka, the larger, outermost moon, has large amounts of pure water ice on its surface, a feature rare among Kuiper belt objects.
