On ceramic membranes the use of Pd-Ag bimetallic catalysts avoids the formation of β-PdH and improves the catalytic performances, while in the case of Pd-Pt bimetallic catalysts small defective nanoparticles are formed which catalyze the unselective formation of water.
The dwarf phenotype also became more severe with later generations containing smaller, more defective plants.
However, we did observe a low frequency of sectoring, reduced plant stature, smaller leaves, defective anthers, embryo abortion, reduced seed set and seed size.
In cases where a line with small or defective centromeres is crossed to a line with larger or normal centromeres, the smaller/defective centromeres are selectively degraded or not maintained, resulting in chromosome loss from the small-centromere parent.
The current paper deals with the ratcheting behaviour of defective small-scale API X80 carbon steel tubes subjected to cyclic bending.
Both proteins show normal localisations in small clones with defective epithelial organisation, whereas aPKC and Par-6 levels are already elevated in small clones that still retain a normal shape (Fig. 4H-K).
Sources of particles include residues from sawmills (including sawdust) and other wood-using industries, small-diameter roundwood, defective logs, and harvesting residues.
"People had looked down on me from the time I was small: I was defective, incapable of providing for myself, not worth investing time and effort in," he writes.
When the sample includes a small number of defective items (x ≤ c), this indicates to the buyer that the lot is high quality.
We investigate the problem of distributed sensors' failure detection in networks with a small number of defective sensors, whose measurements differ significantly from the neighbor measurements.
