quiescence

Examples of quiescent

quiescent
Exterior to the uniform vorticity region the flow is quiescent and irrotational.
The most bandwidth efficient technique is the quiescent operation.
Pieces of ovary from females captured during the quiescent and breeding periods were incubated in the medium in the presence of the drugs under study.
The central region of the spatial profile that separates the two oscillatory regions is a quiescent plateau at times beyond the focus.
The proliferative phase is followed by what appears clinically to be a more quiescent or 'plateau' phase where cellular proliferation and apoptosis offset each other.
We shall see later that the transition from fully turbulent convection to a quiescent regime occurs over very narrow ranges of temperature and concentration.
Another feature of lakes, fjords and coastal oceans is they are rarely quiescent; rather there is generally some background shear due to a large-scale flow.
Our analysis suggests that at the onset of quiescence the quiescent volume expands rapidly whilst the total tumour volume remains approximately constant.
Resurrection plants survive the loss of most of their tissue water content until a quiescent stage is achieved.
Because the body becomes more quiescent during sleep, actigraphy can be used to differentiate between periods of wakefulness and periods of sleep.
The unconformity would thus represent a quiescent interval of perhaps 90 ka.
The mass population generally remains politically quiescent or may be mobilized along communal or clientelistic lines.
Fibroblasts at low passage level (2-3) were plated and serum-deprived for 5 days to create a population of quiescent cells.
The acceleration of the quiescent air is much more spectacular than the deceleration of the uniform stream.
The thermal rise was simulated by the descent of negatively buoyant fluid within a tank of quiescent water.
