Sentences with phrase «cilia beating frequency»

The cilia beating frequency varied across samples but the difference was typically within a few hertz.

Further increasing the formaldehyde concentration to 1 milligram per cubic meter led to a dramatic increase — up to 136.4 per cent — in cilia beating frequency relative to the baseline value.

By enabling the observation of cilia beating frequency, the experimental model described in this work provides more realism for clinical applications.

In contrast, when air mixed with 0.5 milligrams per cubic meter of formaldehyde was passed through the chamber, they observed a 7.4 per cent increase in cilia beating frequency relative to the baseline value.

At even higher formaldehyde concentrations of 3.0 milligrams per cubic meter, however, the researchers observed an unexpected decrease in cilia beating frequency, possibly due to irreversible cell damage caused by the formaldehyde.

When fresh air was passed into the chamber, the researchers observed a 3 per cent drop in cilia beating frequency relative to the baseline value.
