Disassimilation

By contrast, look at what the combination of economic stagnation and demographic disassimilation has done for the French: six days of rioting in not-so-gay suburban Paris. ❋ Unknown (2005)

For the obese from default of disassimilation, Robin recommends a regimen of green vegetables and bread chiefly -- the latter in small quantities, however, and fluids as may be desired. ❋ Various (N/A)

The excessive exercise of the whole body is setting free from the tissues such an amount of excretive matter, and carbon more largely than all the others, that, without a relative action of the lungs to admit the air that oxygen may be absorbed, carbonic acid gas cannot be liberated through the lungs as fast as the waste carbon of the overworked tissues is being made by disassimilation from this excess of respiration. ❋ Various (N/A)

In poisoning by lead and copper the accumulation of the poison in the fetal tissues is greater than in the maternal, perhaps from differences in assimilation and disassimilation or from greater diffusion. ❋ Unknown (1896)

Association in 1912, argued that all the main characteristics of living matter, such as assimilation and disassimilation, growth and reproduction, spontaneous and amoeboid movement, osmotic pressure, karyokinesis, etc., were equally apparent in the non-living; therefore he concluded that life is only one of the many chemical reactions, and that it is not improbable that it will yet be produced by chemical synthesis in the laboratory. ❋ John Burroughs (1879)

Uric and hippuric acids are found in the urine of carnivora and herbivora, respectively, as the result of the healthy wear (disassimilation) of nitrogenous tissues. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)

(That partially explains the second - and third-generation disassimilation Derb references.) ❋ Unknown (2009)

"That the presence of alcohol in the living system positively lessens the reception and internal distribution of oxygen, and consequently retards the oxidation processes of disassimilation by which the various products for excretion are perfected and their elimination facilitated, is so fully demonstrated, both by observation and experiment, as no longer to admit of doubt. ❋ Martha Meir Allen (1890)
