It was not until 1976 that he intuitively discovered his new tintinnabuli style, at the core of which was a two-part unit: a generally stepwise 'melodic' line accompanied by a triadic or tintinnabuli harmony (the Latin word tintinnabulum literally means 'small bell').
After that came "louca," "boca," "acreditar," and then, a bit later, the line she had clearly been waiting for: in a downward stepwise melody, "lua lua lua lua".
Par. 3, last line: "Stepwise" means "relatively large" in context, but perhaps it should be made more explicit (otherwise, may be interpreted as "step by step", i.e., gradual).
In a QTL study using stepwise residual heterozygous lines, two linked intervals harbouring QTLs for yield traits were resolved, one of which was delimited to a 125-kb region.
These protocols recommend a first-line, low-dose diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide), followed by stepwise addition of second-line generic anti-hypertensive medications including an ACE inhibitor (enalapril), beta-blocker (atenolol), and calcium-channel blocker (nifedipine).
Just as we are on the verge of a final C-major triumph, with a line ascending stepwise from G to B, the harmony swerves down into A minor.
(a) Comparison of measured alumina strength exiting calcination (red line) with stepwise regression strength model (black line).
The human pancreatic tumour cell line PSN1/ADR, stepwise selected in 17-510 nM doxorubicin, displayed a multidrug resistance not conferred by P-glycoprotein (P-gp).
These DOX-resistant cell lines were generated by continuous incubation of parental cell lines with stepwise increases of DOX concentrations ranging from 10−9 to 10−6 M over a period of 3 to 6 months.
The former is made of weaving lines of stepwise motion in its first and third parts, with a much more active rhythmic canon trio as the second part.
