Evidence growing

Hold one end of the slip [of rubber]. . . between the thumb and forefinger of each hand bring the middle of the piece into slight contact with the lips . . . extend the slip suddenly and you will immediately perceive a sensation of warmth in that part of the mouth which touches it.. . . For this resin evidently grows warmer the further it is extended and the edges of the lips possess a high degree of sensibility, which enables them to dis-... 

The FDA requires Warner-Lambert, the maker of the diabetes drug Rezulin, to withdraw the drug from the market after evidence grows that it caused hundreds of users to die from liver failure. 

The indications for etanercept will become clarified as evidence grows at the time of writing its use is reserved for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have failed to respond to adequate trials of at least two DMARDs.

Field desorption. The formation of ions in the gas phase from a material deposited on a solid surface (known as an emitter) that is placed in a high electrical field. Field desorption is an ambiguous term because it implies that the electric field desorbs a material as an ion from some kind of emitter on which the material is deposited. There is growing evidence that some of the ions formed are due to thermal ionization and some to field ionization of material... 

Mechanism of Action. The mechanisms by which antibiotic adrninistration at subtherapeutic levels enhance growth rate and efficiency of gain in growing animals have not been clarified. Possible modes of action include disease control, nutrient sparing, and metaboHc effects. There is extensive evidence that the principal benefit from subtherapeutic use of antibiotics results from the control of harmfiil microorganisms. 

The presence of many crazes is considered to distribute stresses which would otherwise be concentrated at the tip of a few growing cracks. Additionally there is some evidence that when a propagating craze reaches a particle it often divides so that if there is a large number of particles per unit volume there is a high dissipation of energy. 

In Fig. 20 we show the MSQ of a system of GM [66] with different mean chain lengths (depending on 7, cf. Eq. (12)) for three values of LO=l, 0.1, 0. 01. Since the individual chains have only transient identity, it is meaningless to discuss their center of mass diffusion. It is evident from Fig. 20 that the MSQ of the segments, g t) = ([x( ) - x(O)j ), follows an intermediate sub-diffusive regime, g(t) oc which is later replaced by conventional diffusion at some characteristic crossover time which grows...
