Such models normally prescribe theoxygentensionat the proliferating rim and may involve 'compartmentalising' the tumour into proliferating, quiescent and necrotic regions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We note that since (2.20), the equation foroxygentension, is quasi-steady, small jumps in the oxygen tension may appear between consecutive timesteps.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is possible that protective effects of reducedoxygentensionare detected to a lesser extent in these media, perhaps even eliminated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is regulated byoxygentensionand nitrite concentration in the growth medium, being optimally active under anaerobic conditions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Since the supplyoxygentensionincreases, proliferation near y = 0 increases and, hence, there are more live cells near to the blood vessel.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The rate at which cells consume oxygen is assumed to depend on the number of cells present and the localoxygentension.
From theCambridge English Corpus
So that these two conditions hold, the supplyoxygentensionmust increase.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this way the supplyoxygentensionmay vary due to changes in the local densities of the two cell types.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Mathematical models of spatial distribution of retinaloxygentensionand consumption, including changes upon illumination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To satisfy (5.2) and to maintain a constant amount of oxygen being consumed in the steady state, the supplyoxygentensionmust correspondingly fall.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Alterations in dark adaptation under reducedoxygentension.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We couple the behaviour of the blood vessel into the model for theoxygentension.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At the interface between the aerobic and anaerobic layers theoxygentensionfalls to zero.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We hypothesise, therefore, that during the period of absent or reduced arterial inflow theoxygentensionwill fall within the affected lobule.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During trophozoite/schizont stages the parasite is metabolically highly active and resides in a microenvironment with a lowoxygentension.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Decreased maternal arterialoxygentensioncan occur from relative opioid overdose during labour following intravenous, intramuscular or epidural administration.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the field, infection may be low during flooded conditions becauseoxygentensionin the bulk soil is low.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Surprisingly, loweroxygentensionat birth was associated with higher scores in both abstract/visual reasoning and visual-motor integration.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Mathematical model of the spatial distribution of retinaloxygentensionand consumption, including changes upon illumination.
From theCambridge English Corpus
