The ancient water, trapped in thin fissures in granite-like rock, has been bubbling up from a zinc and copper mine for decades in Timmins, Ontario.
Trust the blood, however, waltzing to four-part harmony within the heart, and you will be moved to witness, through the chinking's thin fissures, the shadows of the enchanted.
Structural changes including cartilage thinning, fissures, and fibrillations were observed at a resolution substantially higher than is achieved with any current clinical imaging technology.
Optical coherence tomography successfully revealed structural changes, including cartilage thinning, fissures and fibrillation, at substantially higher resolutions than those achieved with other currently used clinical imaging technologies.
The homogeneous outer layer is considerably thicker and contains thin radial fissures and small cavities.
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of affected individuals consistently shows polymicrogyria in the frontal and parietal lobes, wide sylvian fissures, thin corpus callosum and increased subdural spaces.
It is also possible that, as bone area expands, cartilage begins to thin and that fissuring and defects precede volume loss.
In the visual cortex, the SP is very thin around the calcarine fissure yet two to three times thicker in the regions superior and inferior to the calcarine fissure (Kostovic and Rakic 1990).
The cartilage overlying the defect should be closely inspected, as it might fissure and thin [21].
Cartilage changes can be categorised into: normal, signal heterogeneity, fissuring, thinning to <50% of the normal thickness, thinning to >50% of the normal thickness and full thickness cartilage loss (Fig. 13) [713.
Growing out of fissures and thin soils were thousands of gnarled, stunted larches and Siberian pines a tree-ring scientist's treasure.
