Fibres

Charles K. Kao, "for groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibres for optical communication" and the other half jointly to Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith "for the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit – the CCD sensor". ❋ Unknown (2009)

The quote "nerves, spirits and fibres" is from G.S. Rousseau's eponymous essay. ❋ Unknown (2008)

With regards to forensics I would guess that the forensic evidence was possibly clothing fibres from the offenders clothing on the victims clothing and maybe even blood where he visiously assaulted her. ❋ Inspector Gadget (2007)

The growth of nerve fibres is stimulated via this mechanism. ❋ Unknown (1986)

Stretched molecules - chains - are found in fibres such as nylon. ❋ Unknown (1974)

The transmission between the nerve cells, which radically differs from the mechanisms underlying the impulse transmission in the nerve fibres, is mediated by chemical substances, so-called neurotransmitters, which carry the message from one cell to the other. ❋ Unknown (1970)

But we must remember that the afferent nerve from an extensor muscle has been shown to contain fibres which exert opposite reflex influences upon their own muscle, some exciting and some inhibiting that muscle's contraction. ❋ Unknown (1965)

But in more normal circumstances the nerve fibres work as independent conducting units, and simultaneous activity in many fibres is a rare event. ❋ Unknown (1965)

In the pony the area devoted to the nostrils is as large as that devoted to the rest of the body; in the pig almost the whole of the sensory area of the cerebral cortex devoted to the sense of touch is given to fibres from the snout, which the pig uses to explore its environment. ❋ Unknown (1965)

In 1907 the Swedish physiologist Gustaf Göthlin made the assumption that conduction velocity in thick nerve fibres is greater than in thin ones. ❋ Unknown (1945)

The field of synthetic fibres is immense, and the initial products have already passed the rigid requirements of the textile trade, and it is to be expected that low-priced, large-volume production will enable a substantial percentage of the world's population to be better clothed. ❋ Unknown (1944)

Advancement in the manufacture of the synthetic wool fibres is by no means completed, and scientists are today confident that they can produce synthetic wool from raw materials which will be cheaper than milk casein. ❋ Unknown (1944)

Then they beat it with swingles, to separate the fine white fibres from the dry stems. ❋ Unknown (1911)

Of the fibres is made an excellent strong thread called pita, of which pita they make a strong brownish paper, and might make cloth if they pleased. ❋ Frances Erskine Inglis (1843)

a garden allotment thought (and the means to write) a reincarnation of Bellini's Madonna whose melancholy expression would belie a dry sense of humour and spontaneity and who would dress in man-made fibres from the racks of modest department stores ❋ Unknown (2004)

Not only that, but they’re also going to match 177 clothing or textile fibres from the killer’s home to his victims. ❋ Unknown (2008)

When placed in a centrifuge, the fibres self assemble into layers in which the fibres are aligned vertically, a structure that is very similar to the tissue in mammalian corneas. ❋ Unknown (2007)
