If I say the word "table", I assume you imagine a flat surface held up by one or more legs.
But once released from the Earth's depths, the heat was trapped at the surface, held back by the thick, opaque primordial atmosphere.
The platform that Blue H towed out of Brindisi Harbor in Puglia, Italy, this winter is called a tension-leg platform, a conventional offshore oil and gas platform design that floats below the surface, held rigidly in place by chains running to steel or concrete anchors on the seabed.
It's slow and soft, as if she's bobbing on the surface, being held by Mother Nature -- i.e. herself (God is a woman, remember?).
On their flat surfaces, held taut by the hoops, he has printed photographs of wedding cakes.
Soil moisture is classified into three types: hygroscopic water adsorbed on the surface of soil particles, water held by surface tension in capillary spaces in the soil and moving in response to capillary forces, and water that drains through the soil under gravitational influence.
On the sheer declivities where the surface soils were held by chaparral, there is no chaparral.
The water in uncompressed foam can be categorized as either: excess, draining from the foam when it is lifted from water; capillary, held in the cells by capillary action; some can be ejected by compressing the foam, hygroscopic, existing as molecular layers on the polymer surface; and absorbed, held by hydrophilic forces inside the swollen polymer.
Dry powder of P-selectin with Fc chain (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was dissolved in PBS, and 20 µL of the solution was added into a coating region 2.5 mm × 5 mm of petri dish (Corning Glass Works, Corning, NY) bottom surface, which was held by a hollowed silicon gasket and marked in the cover slide center, and incubated overnight at 4°C.
