Sentence examples for regional contraction from inspiring English sources

The Upper Cretaceous basinal strata in the EZ show early Cenomanian Turonian and early Campanian Maastrichtian unconformities, consistent with the timing of two discrete episodes of regional contraction in the region.

The fillings of the ore-bearing veinlets typify the products of hydraulic fracture and both types of mineralization took place concurrently with regional contraction.

The complex basin and high architecture directly determined major structures, folds and thrusts, developed during regional contraction, and review of those structures permits placement of the sites in that structural context.

They contribute to a better understanding of the processes involved in the development of contemporary patterns of variation, including the regional contraction and expansion of populations and refugia (Nevill et al. [2014]).

We followed these mice by echocardiography with a Visual Sonics Vevo 2100 instrument to measure endocardial fractional area change (FAC), which represents cardiac function and specifically detects regional contraction deficits due to infarct scars.

However, the short-axis view provides only an area, not a volume, and the assumption that this area correlates with a volume is only valid when there are no regional contraction abnormalities [ 28, 32].

Abnormalities in subendocardial strain ranged from reduced longitudinal shortening to paradoxical systolic lengthening and delayed regional longitudinal contractions that were often located in small subsegmental areas.

Figure  1a, c show the face surface and signature heat map of one of the authors where the red green blue spectrum highlights regional differences (contraction-coincidence-expansion) orthogonal to the face surface compared to the matched norm.

In a study of late-onset depression using methods similar to ours, Ballmaier et al. (2008) found that regional surface contractions were significantly pronounced in late- relative to early-onset depression, particularly in the anterior of the subiculum and lateral posterior of the CA1 subfield in the left hemisphere.

Therefore, the regional differences in contraction pattern during ventricular pacing are most likely caused by regional differences in effective preload.

The complicated regional differences in contraction pattern are most likely related to the local differences in myocardial fiber length during the early systolic phase.
