Sentences with phrase «osmotic pressure which»

Concentrated syrups have a high osmotic pressure which prevents micro-organisms growing and reproducing.

Not exact matches

The compression technology helps balance the osmotic pressure, which in turn removes the excess fluids.

Robl and Stice, in collaboration with the biotech company Genzyme of Cambridge, Massachusetts, have already created embryos that contain the human gene for albumin protein, which helps restore the blood's osmotic pressure after blood loss.

The new procedure may lead to a cheap and easy way to create cow «drug factories» that reliably produce human proteins — such as albumin, which restores osmotic pressure after major blood loss — in their milk.

They showed that the cascade of events culminating in the condensation of the reflectins causes the osmotic pressure inside the lamellae to change drastically due to the expulsion of water, which shrinks and dehydrates the lamellae and reduces their thickness and spacing.

On June 27th, he spoke to students [at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting] about what he learned from his thesis research, which involved developing a new method to measure the osmotic pressures of mixes of proteins:

It might be a sign of the «peripheral sink» mechanism, through which the capture of AS in the circulation creates a kind of «osmotic pressure» that draws the more concentrated AS on the other side of the «membrane» of the blood - brain barrier (Figure 3, middle).

In higher plants, most of a cell's volume is taken up by a central vacuole, which primarily maintains its osmotic pressure.

High sodium diets are commonly used to study diet induced hypertension, since increasing levels of circulating sodium cause cells to release water (due to osmotic pressure) which elevates the pressure on blood vessel walls.

This is because compression from pressure placed upon an injured area reduces swelling by increasing the pressure at the interstitial space, which equalizes the osmotic pressure within the vasculature and preventing fluid from leaking out of the vessels.

This exhibition of twelve works includes the Courbet - inspired installation L'atelier de la Peintrice: Allégorie réelle déterminant une phase de sept années de ma vie artistique (The Painter's Studio: A Real Allegory Defining Seven Years of My Artistic Life), 2000, and Apparat zum osmotischen Druckausgleich von Reichtum bei der Betrachtung von Armut (Apparatus for Osmotic Compensation of the Pressure of Wealth During the Contemplation of Poverty), 2005, which poetically imagines a reorganization of global resources.
