Similar deswelling and swelling cycles were repeated up to five cycles.
She eventually tapered off dexamethasone for cerebral swelling during cycle 6.
The interesting properties of both microcapsules were their ability of reversibly swelling during drying/wetting cycles and responsive to temperature stimulus.
More precisely, a strong kinetic hysteresis was observed, particularly between the first and the second cycles (swelling, water retention, macromolecular reorientation, or partial resolubilization-desorption).
Moreover, the synergistic effect of N-graphene and the PB NPs prevented the N-graphene from shrinking and swelling and increased the cycle stability to 84.7% retention after 1500 cycles at 6 A g−1, compared to the pure N-graphene.
Normal, untreated hair tends to absorb and lose water with relative ease, leading to a constant cycle of swelling and drying of the hair fiber in a natural process known as hygral fatigue.
These effects included cell swelling, nuclear disruption, cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase and dose-dependent induction of apoptosis.
Thus, GUVs in hypotonic media exhibit oscillations in their sizes characterized by alternating modulations of vesicular volume, tension, and solute efflux prompted by repeated cycles of swelling and bursting (Sandre et al., 1999; Karatekin et al., 2003b; Popescu and Popescu, 2008; Peterlin et al., 2012).
A striking feature that is consistent throughout all of the PE spacer layer pH data in Figure 5 is that the NS-pH10 layers showed increased deswelling and swelling throughout the pH cycles relative to the layers that were deposited from solutions containing salt and ultrapure water that was not pH adjusted.
There was also a significant effect of cycle type, with conception cycles having higher swelling heights (i.e. bigger swellings) for each day with respect to ovulation (F1,305.9= 10.877, p=0.001; Figure 3b .Most of the analysed behavioural patterns were significantly related to the timing of ovulation (Table 2).
