Though all the tested KHIs showed substantial interfacial properties, neither their surface activity nor the interfacial dilatational elasticity of the KHI layer adsorbed at the water/gas interface measured outside the HSZ correlates with their performance as hydrate inhibitors.
Up close, you become enthralled by the loosely idiosyncratic, nonstop surface activity (Johnson).
A halfhearted chumming effort (a doughnut, a fish stick) brought forth no surface activity.
It is the surface activity of a society that tolerates dehumanizing conditions and activities with an astonishingly clear conscience.
As NEP acts as an ectoenzyme (Marr et al., 2004), to test cell surface activity we used an NEP activity assay (Tamboli et al., 2010), whereas IDE activity was measured in the culture medium, as microglial cells release substantial amounts of IDE (Qiu et al., 1997).
This represents substantial surface expression, which is significantly decreased later in tumor development.
When this ground ice thaws in a warmer climate, substantial surface subsidence will ensue.
Researchers eventually would show that the damage wasn't due to surface activities alone.
Few studies done in autumn-winter in marginal se-ice edge zone [13] [15] and in the Drake Passage [16], found substantial bacterial activity; however they did not explicitly address microbial loop processes, and were limited to the surface mixing layer [13] [15].
The county has substantial floricultural activity with an approximate production area of 1,800 hectares (5.3% of the county's surface area) (Gobierno Municipal del Canton Pedro Moncayo 2011).
