Marc Swanson has constructed a near life-size mast of an antique sailing ship with a square sail of stitched-together old white T-shirts.
Figure 8(a) compares the size of the MAST with the size of the largest MFST.
Results have indicated that, despite the high difference in size exhibited by the mast cells patterns in the two conditions, the spatial relationship between the mast cells forming the aggregates resulted similar, characterized by a significant tendency of the mast cells to self-organize in clusters.
Magneto's forces include the mountainous Sabertooth (Tyler Mane, who brings his mast-size World Wrestling Federation persona to the role); the Toad (Ray Park), who leaps and unleashes a tongue several feet long, and the shape-shifter Mystique (Rebecca RebeccaStamos).
Mice with a genetic susceptibility to intestinal neoplasia (ApcMin) had a greater frequency and size of adenomas in the absence of mast cells, suggesting a protective function for mast cells in colorectal carcinogenesis [23].
Modest in size, the ship was probably a single-mast sloop or two-mast schooner, plying regional ports around the gulf.
Fruit production is annual, and the size of the harvest suggests a masting behaviour (Ramos-Ordoñez et al. 2010).
Alluding to Odysseus' escape from the Sirens, the paper's authors write that corporate boards setting executive pay need be to "lashed to the mast" with restrictions on the size of formal executive pay packages, which are the sorts of contracts that tie pay to objective, verifiable outcomes like the company's stock price or specific accounting metrics.
A large body of preexisting literature supports the concept that antigen IgE FcεRI aggregate size is somehow a key component of mast cell activation.
Because macrophages are major sources of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF and IL-1 within the joint, mast cell effects on the size and activation state of the synovial macrophage population might functionally modulate the course of inflammatory arthritis.
Previous reports have mentioned a positive correlation between IL-4 positive mast cells and the wheal size [ 31, 27]; antigen specific IgE levels and cutaneous allergic reactions [ 32, 28].
