2011, Committee on Assessing Numeric Limits for Living Organisms in Ballast Water, Assessing the Relationship Between Propagule Pressure and Invasion Risk in Ballast Water, National Research Council of the National Academies, National Academies Press, page 126,
Combined with information on organism concentrations, this proxy could allow estimates of either total number of propagules per discharge or cumulative propagule supply over some temporal and spatial scale.
Many foliar-feeding hosts infected with bacterial and viral pathogens display classic "summit" diseases, in which the infected insects move up the foliage immediately before they die. This behavioral host response to infection results in increased transmission to uninfected hosts, as the pathogen propagules from the cadaver shower down on the foliage below, resulting in increased transmission to the rest of the population.

examples: The injection of the relaxant myocaine (glycerol ester of guaiacol) before an electroshock prevents the dysfunction of carbohydrate metabolism, restricts the splitting of phosphocreatine after cardiazol and picrotoxin, and after electroshock and amidopyrine it facilitates phosphocreatine synthesis (Mison-Crighel, 1957). Similarly, alkaline phosphatases no longer decrease after an electroshock if myocaine has previously been injected (Appel et al., 1957).
The associations between valence feature codes and tactile codes are assumed, reflecting that the model already 'knows' that an electroshock is inherently experienced as unpleasant. The associations between word shapes and valence codes are also assumed, reflecting prior knowledge of the valence of certain words. In contrast to these fixed associations, the model has to learn the associations between valence codes and motor codes during the training phase.
Supramaximal Electroshock Test (Mouse and Rat)
After drug administration, each animal received an electroshock [...] through corneal electrodes to initiate a hindlimb tonic extension convulsion; anticonvulsant activity occurred when the above convulsion was blocked.
Test mice were injected i.vt. with 95 mM taurine in a volume of 2 μ1,3 min prior to an electroshock (50 mA for 0.2 sec). The dose of taurine was chosen from our previous data on the suppressive action of the sulfur amino acid [...]. Control animals were injected with [...] phosphate buffered saline solution in an identical volume and 3 min later received the electroshock. All solutions injected i.vt.

examples: Although California has the toughest laws in the country regulating electroshock and requiring patient consent, due to the pressures from the medical lobby these have never been enforced. The procedure is extremely lucrative for the doctors who use it.
As he awaited the third series of electroshocks in late October 1943, Artaud recalled the accident to Ferdière: 'The electroshock therapy has caused me to suffer terribly, and I beg you to spare me another suffering.'

houri
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: Islam

Etymology: From French houri, from Persian حوری (hurî), from Arabic حُورِيّ (ḥūriyy) and Arabic حُورِيَّة (ḥūriyya), adjective and feminine singulative of حُور (ḥūr) from Classical Arabic حُورٌ عِينٌ (ḥūrun ʕīnun, “fair maidens, black-eyed ones”). See أَحْوَر m (ʔaḥwar), حَوْرَاء f (ḥawrāʔ) for the base adjective.
Inflected forms:
form: houris
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A beautiful virgin girl supposed to dwell in Paradise for the enjoyment of the faithful.
pos: noun
examples: They went through the courtyard, past a naked copper houri tilting a water-jar that merely dripped[.]
We cannot go into the technical details of his methodology but it allows Luxenberg, to the probable horror of all Muslim males dreaming of sexual bliss in the Muslim hereafter, to conjure away the wide-eyed houris promised to the faithful in suras XLIV.54; LII.20, LV.72, and LVI.22. Luxenberg's new analysis, leaning on the Hymns of Ephrem the Syrian, yields "white raisins" of "crystal clarity" rather than doe-eyed, and ever willing virgins - the houris.
The repetition of material about the houri suggests that the popularization of that figure occurred as early as the ninth century and continued well into the twelfth century. By then, the houri had become a kind of metonymy for the Garden, as well as an accepted object. A new role of the houri as the superlative being of the Garden emerged through the use of traditions, and most of all the structure of the text. Al-Qadi's text provides an excellent example of the importance of the houri.
What if in paradise there are no houris waiting? / What if but all you get are grapes, succulent grapes? / What if it's all just a mistake in the translation?
Although the beauty of houris is described in terms of cosmic pureness and sumptuary materials, the qiyan are understood through attributes and affects. Yet, the houris have one constitutive attribute. They are fair and they have big eyes. Is the houri based on any particular model of beauty or a kind of female slave? Ibn Butlan, in his Risalafi shira'al-raqiq wa-taqlib al-abid, offers a rubric for female slaves; however, the descriptions of houris do not align with other descriptions of slaves.
gloss: Any voluptuous, beautiful woman.
pos: noun

gloss: A type of support structure used in excavations.
pos: noun
examples: The pieces of sheeting are placed as the excavation is made, and it is necessary to place vertical and upright waling as well as horizontal waling pieces to hold the sheeting. This means, in some cases, a wider trench must be dug to allow for the extra width of the waling.
Two rounds of waling on centre fitch on the largest size, and one round on the small size.
Where walls or sheeters span vertically, walings are needed to transfer loads from the sheeting to the struts, which provide the bracing, or to the anchors, which retain the sheeting. The walings need not be continuous as, for example, in hammer head struts used against diaphragm wall panels where separate waling reinforcement may be included within the panel reinforcement of the wall.
