How To Use amplification In A Sentence
- Yet despite the problems in amplification, I was not sorry that I attended. Rabbi Sid Schwarz: Jon Stewart: We Need More than Amplification
- Hyperimmune responses, either at the initial immunisation challenge or in the amplification of immune response, can be observed in cellular mechanisms such as basophil degranulation, or at a molecular level, with changes in the levels of messengers such as leukotrienes; reduction of the intensity of these mechanisms are described in terms of molecular pharmacology, such as selective or nonselective inhibition of lipoxygenases. Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium - Recent changes [en]
- This latter approach has the advantage that it introduces an amplification step and also avoids an initial conjugation of the fluorochrome to the primary antibody, which may lower its affinity.
- State public health laboratories can test for hantavirus by serology, immunochemistry, or virus remnant amplification.
- Every communication channel should be considered an auxiliary to, or an amplification of, our intelligence.
- [illegible] and the superficies in a quadratical Proportion of the diameter to the Amplification of the Diameter. John Adams diary 3, includes commonplace book entries, spring and summer 1759
- The reason for this starts with surface inhomogeneities that lead to nucleation of the deposition process in one spot, after which ohmic and transport effects lead to further amplification of this inhomogeneity. Archive 2010-09-01
- Four microliters of the diluted mix were used as template for the preselective amplification reaction using primers with one selective nucleotide at the 3'-end.
- In collaboration with my colleague Jörg Schlehofer, we were also able to demonstrate that herpes simplex virus, but also other herpes -, adeno -, and vaccinia virus infections of polyoma - or papillomavirus DNA harbouring cells, resulted in amplification of the DNA of the latter. Harald zur Hausen - Autobiography
- Such mode changes may, for example, entail switching amplifier stages in and out of an amplification signal path.
