Dysplasia is a special type of cell adaptation that literally means disordered growth, and it is usually associated with neoplasia or preneoplastic changes. Dysplasia implies a loss in the uniformity of the individual cells and a loss in the normal tissue growth pattern. For example, a dysplastic area involving the epidermal layers of the skin might contain jumbled, atypical epithelial cells with loss of their normal polarity and orderly differentiation. 

The nearly equal values of the exponents for the variation of G with starch concentration in cowpea starch/protein mixtures (within the range of / < 1 /9) and in cowpea starch gels emphasizes the important contribution of starch to the structure of the former. Development of G in the protein-starch gels followed an essentially apparent first order process and did not show either the dominant two-stage growth pattern seen in starch gels or the almost linear pattern observed in the cowpea protein gels. 

From the above discussion, it is clear that the primary control on strontium isotopic composition of the first order (billion years trend) for seawater will be exercised by the growth pattern of the continental crust. Two competing hypotheses dominate this debate ...

Preliminary examination with a Philips 300 transmission electronmicroscope suggest platinum particles with overall dimensions of the order 5-50 nm but with a fine structure not apparent in the copper precursors this might be anticipated in view of the probable growth pattern of the exchanging metal.
