Coca-Cola Co., meanwhile, is investing in a bioplast ic to line disposable cups, and PepsiCo Inc. 's Frito-Lay has adopted biodegradable plastic for the bags of some of its snacks. ❋ Mara Lemos Stein (2010)
If conception is the point where a bioplast/fetus is a human life with all the rights of a fully born person, then a woman who miscarries must pay for a mortuary to handle disposal of the remains. ❋ Unknown (2009)
With the back of her hand, Deanna whacked Data in the ribs and swallowed a grunt of pain at the impact of her hand against his bioplast sheeting. ❋ Charlotte Douglas (2002)
Data lay stiff and inoperative, and the front of his uniform smoked where her phaser had burned through the fabric and scorched the bioplast sheeting of his chest. ❋ Charlotte Douglas (2002)
But this "pellicle" of Professor Bastian is not mere structureless matter, any more than the "bioplast" of Professor Beale. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
The very admission that the bioplast spins, makes it an organism, and not mere structureless matter. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
If any germinal point in germinal matter, therefore, be a bioplast, then every germinal point, to the extent of making up its entire mass, must be a bioplast; and the distinction between the two becomes merely verbal, and without generic signification. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
A bioplast, they tell us, is a germinal point in germinal matter or bioplasm. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
To define a bioplast as a germinal point in germinal matter, or bioplasm, is to draw no satisfactory line of distinction between the two, except that the one is a mere aggregation of the other. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
It is also assumed that the central portion of every cell in an organic tissue is a bioplast. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
No matter what we may call this point of vital activity in a cell -- whether it be a bioplast, a plastid, a physiological unit, or a granule of "elementary life-stuff" -- it simply performs the one single function of life to which it is specifically assigned in the process of "building up" any one identical individual of a species, whether it be a man, an ape, a tree, or a parasitic fungus. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
Bastian, the "monas" of O.F. Müller, the "bioplast" of Professor Beale, etc., are essentially one and the same thing, except in name. ❋ R. W. Wright (N/A)
It took me a while to find it; it’s almost identical to a bioplast found in the blood of healthy Bajorans. ❋ ESTHER FRIESNER (1990)
