Sentence examples for reduce fluidity from inspiring English sources

That is happening due to attractive interactions between the micelles of P103 and F127 in order to form mixed micelles which enhance the aggregation, and hence, a greater number of aggregates reduce fluidity.

The results indicated that MWSI-LED slag prevented heavy metal leaching, increased the compressive strength of specimens of different ages, shortened the initial and final setting times, and only slightly reduced fluidity.

Second, while G-protein binding to the EFNB2 receptor is equal at 4°C and 37°C, the membrane fluidity at the lower temperature is reduced; reduced fluidity is the second critical feature that is temperature dependent.

Another study has detected reduced fluidity in platelet membranes from AD patients; this effect was even more pronounced in males [ 45].

However, the increased convenience of coating the substrate with a chemical monolayer is offset by the observation that integrated membranes have considerably reduced fluidity (approximately 40% less) in comparison to supported lipid bilayers deposited directly on bare glass [ 6].

In membranes they affect fluidity and permeability (London 2002; Tyler et al. 2009) and are major players in the formation of lipid rafts, which are regions of reduced fluidity formed by the close association of sterols with sphingolipids (Jacobson and Dietrich 1999; Brown and London 2000; Anderson and Jacobson 2002).

Lipid rafts are small (10 200 nm) plasma membrane domains containing high levels of sphingolipids, mainly SM, and cholesterol, which are characterized physicochemically by tight packing and reduced fluidity leading to a liquid-ordered phase surrounded by the bulk liquid-disordered membranes [ 54– 54].

Low temperatures reduce fuel fluidity, as fuel viscosity is increased (Fig. 4).

For a given w/c ratio, it was found that the use of high volume quarry dust could reduce the fluidity and increase the compressive strength and the thermal conductivity of LFC.

Increasing the free cholesterol content of membranes is thought to reduce membrane fluidity and subsequently affect the endocytosis and trafficking of proteins.

Cyclization of fatty acid acyl chains is therefore generally regarded as a means to reduce membrane fluidity to adapt the cells for adverse conditions [ 6].
