Ringworm, superficial skin lesions caused by a highly specialized group of fungi called dermatophytes that live and multiply on the surface of the skin and feed on keratin, the horny protein constituting the major part of the outermost layer of the skin and of the hair and nails.
He watched the surface of the water for feeding.
The fire grew rapidly overnight due to high winds and was moving on the surface of the forest floor feeding on hardwood leaf litter and down trees, she said.
Though there is no end in sight to bad novels about the Tudors - in America you can hardly see the surface of the water for the feeding frenzy of agents, publishers and writers producing more ruffs and bodices - there are also brilliant ones and I am not just talking Hilary Mantel.
L. plumulosus are facultative feeders; they live in U-shaped burrows through which they filter water and ingest suspended particles and also roam the surface of the sediment and deposit feed, thus deriving their nutrition and exposure to contaminants from both the water column and sediments.
In "The Edge of the Sea," she describes the tiny animals who swim between the sand grains on the beach: they "swim through the liquid films around the grains of sand as fish swim through the oceans on the surface of the earth… living, swimming, feeding, breathing, reproducing, and dying".
The measurements of the electric wave propagation are obtained by optical mapping of fluorescent dye from the surface of the heart and are fed into a custom-designed software that provides the control action signal that perturbs the basic pacing cycle length.
The sensilla styloconica of most butterflies are characterized by a long stylus that allows for the terminal sensory peg to function at a considerable distance from the surface of the galea in adult feeding (Paulus & Krenn, 1996; Krenn, 2010).
This follows that increase in residence time directly enhanced the number of possible collisions of the reactant molecules on the surface of the catalyst for lower liquid feed rate.
The larvae live the entire winter below the surface of the ground in this stage, feeding on the tender roots of plants.
