Sentence examples for particles to act from inspiring English sources

The concept is for the cork particles to act like as a crack stopper leading to more energy absorption.

The scientists running the Cassini mission had to hold their breath for a while yesterday while they waited to see if the craft had successfully navigated the gap — as an extra precaution they had oriented its dish-shaped antenna in the direction of the oncoming ring particles to act as a shield, meaning the spacecraft was out of contact with Earth during the ring-plane crossing.

In this study, the SnO2 spherical particles film was firstly grown directly on FTO substrates by using one step hydrothermal method, and CdS QDs were deposited on the surface of the SnO2 spherical particles to act a light absorber by using the successive ionic-layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method.

Analysis of the 3D elemental distributions of Fe and Ni indicated that those two metals (and/or their oxides), which are mainly deposited at the outer surface of the particles, seem to act as anchoring points leading to catalyst particle agglutination.

These mineral particles were shown to act as resuspended host particles in an atmospheric environment by the previous investigations of the global fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapon tests (e.g., Igarashi et al. 2005; Masson et al. 2010).

In this paper, we show that the presence of an electric field is decisive, possibly because the pollutant-containing particles were able to act as polarizable species (and thus as improper electrodes).

Large primary Si particles were found to act as preferential initiation sites by cracking or decohesion (dependent on test temperature) and are also sought out preferentially during short crack growth.

The carbon particles are expected to act as a catalyst for the dissociation reaction and the indirect irradiation via an intermediate opaque tubular absorber results in a more uniform heating of the reactor volume and thus an easier reaction temperature control and determination.

Here, using a chitosan/alginate system, similar activation of caspase 8 has been observed, suggesting that these particles are able to act in a similar mechanism, further increasing the antitumor potency of the TMP-loaded nanoparticle.

In the last years, great interest has been paid to the development of micro- and nanometer-sized particles and systems able to act as photonic sensors[15, 22, 23] for medicine[24] and biology.

However, wear particles have been suggested to act as a stimulus for this process.
