Contamination consists of processes whereby particles settle oradsorbon a clean surface forming layers which reduce the efficiency of the surface.From theCambridge English Corpus
Short bubbles do not provide the surfactants with sufficient length toadsorband equilibrate and hence violate the boundary conditions imposed here for semi-infinite bubbles.From theCambridge English Corpus
It turns out that clay (montmorillonite/kaolinite) adsorbed nucleic acid undergoes less radiation damage than free nucleic acid.From theCambridge English Corpus
Areas related to high production rates of adsorbed superoxides may also be areas where adsorbed superoxide ions may diffuse into the subsurface.From theCambridge English Corpus
That is, they emit, reflect andadsorball wavelengths in the same manner in all directions.From theCambridge English Corpus
One volume of packed cells was used toadsorb9 volumes of serum.From theCambridge English Corpus
This was interpreted as precipitation of iron phosphates or iron (oxy)hydroxides, which may effectivelyadsorbphosphorus.From theCambridge English Corpus
In the experiments, salt is used to help screen the electrical double-layer that forms when ionic surfactant is adsorbed at an interface.From theCambridge English Corpus
We perform experiments simulating a possible prebiotic environment, in which an organic compound is adsorbed in soil and exposed to an energy source.From theCambridge English Corpus
Permeable reactive barriers are used toadsorbcontaminants from soil water.From theCambridge English Corpus
At 15 min following injection, 88% of the ethylene had already been fixed; at 30 min 98%, and at 60 min 99.9% had been adsorbed.From theCambridge English Corpus
To this end, carboxylic acids were adsorbed in a clay mineral and the systems were exposed to radiation.From theCambridge English Corpus
To that end we choose a simple chemical system : a carboxylic acid adsorbed in a clay mineral and exposed to radiation.From theCambridge English Corpus
The cytosolic proteins may have been bound or adsorbed to the membrane.From theCambridge English Corpus
Since surfactants are not adsorbed onto the interface in this limit, a surface traction does not exist.From theCambridge English Corpus
