The proteinase inhibitor function has been associated with modulation of cell growth.
This area of the brain is involved in the modulation of emotional behaviour.
His performance is exceptional in its intensity and subtle modulation.
A surreal, nightmarish atmosphere is created in the film by constant modulations of colouring of the light.
The actors sit on stools and present the script and character through intonation and other voice modulations.
The Minister has evidently practised the modulation of her voice.
2 the process of changing the amplitude or frequency of an electrical signal by mixing it with another signal, or a signal that has been changed like this: --
The test statistic is designed to detect hidden periodicities in the data with random amplitude modulation.
Vertical modulation concerns cortical-subcortical relations and apparently allows for bidirectional modulation.
These include additive synthesis of grains, as well as frequency modulation options, and most recently the granulation of sound files.
Only for short modulation depths did the number of transparent responses increase.
As noted above, luminance modulation well outside the classical receptive field can modulate alpha-cell discharge rate by a mechanism that is spatially nonlinear.
On the other hand, the energy modulation in the linear regime is described by the difference between the forward and backward density waves.
Further downstream, the energy modulation drives the current modulation.
In addition, considerable experience was acquired in the modulation and elimination of infection, usually with chemotherapeutic agents.
