Fibrous vein structures, often with curved fibres and selvages on vein walls, suggest a diffusion masstransportmechanismfrom the rock into veins during deformation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Convection is limited in soil, so diffusion is the predominanttransportmechanismof soil gases.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If a2u/ax2is retained as well as a2u/ay2, thetransportmechanismconsists of one additional effect-streamwise diffusion.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Any species-summed force leads to the same effects, so this is a universaltransportmechanismat the boundary of a confined plasma.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This physical mechanism relies on the establishment of a gradient of dissolved gas concentration in the melt and diffusion as the dominanttransportmechanism.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Remarkably few amino-acid residues appear to be critically involved in thetransportmechanismof lac permease, suggesting that relatively simple chemistry drives the mechanism.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The comparison with the experimental observations indicates in all cases considered so far that the realized turbulent flow tends to approach the structure of the extremalizingtransportmechanism.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We propose atransportmechanisminvolving the dynamic rearrangement of the water molecules lining the interior of the channel as a histidine residue becomes charged (load) and discharged (release).
From theCambridge English Corpus
It turns out that the inclusion of the friction and of a definite model of the sedimenttransportmechanism leads to results rather different from those obtained previously by potential-flowanalysis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Transport in the fully developed self-similar far field of turbulent jets has in the past been thought to be dominated by the classical small-scale, diffusivetransportmechanismnoted above.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Cytokinins participate in local and long-distance signalling, with the sametransportmechanismas purines and nucleosides.
