If water is evaporated too quickly, the membrane dries, resistance across it increases, and eventually it will crack, creating a gas " short circuit " where hydrogen and oxygen combine directly, generating heat that will damage the fuel cell.

If the condition worsens to a point where treatments are not affecting the newborn as they should, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO ) can be necessary to keep the infant alive.

If it diffuses away, it has the potential to activate receptors that are located either at other synapses or on the membrane away from any synapse.

# If some of the DNA fragments are larger than 15 kb, then prior to blotting, the gel may be treated with an acid, such as dilute HCl, which depurinates the DNA fragments, breaking the DNA into smaller pieces, thus allowing more efficient transfer from the gel to membrane.

If the serous membrane is involved, colonic perforation may ensue.

If protons flow back through the membrane, they enable mechanical work, such as rotating bacterial flagella.

If more suction is now applied, the small patch of membrane in the electrode tip can be displaced, leaving the electrode sealed to the rest of the cell.

If the membrane potential is raised above a certain level, the channel shows increased probability of transitioning to the activated ( open ) state.

If the binding increases the voltage ( depolarizes the membrane ), the synapse is excitatory.

If, however, the binding decreases the voltage ( hyperpolarizes the membrane ), it is inhibitory.

If the depolarization is small ( say, increasing V < sub > m </ sub > from − 70 mV to − 60 mV ), the outward potassium current overwhelms the inward sodium current and the membrane repolarizes back to its normal resting potential around − 70 mV.

If a typical mammalian cell ( diameter ~ 10 micrometre ) were magnified to the size of a watermelon (~ 1 ft / 30 cm ), the lipid bilayer making up the plasma membrane would be about as thick as a piece of office paper.

If these two processes were not balancing each other the cell would either balloon outward to an unmanageable size or completely deplete its plasma membrane within a matter of minutes.

If, after birth, the complete amniotic sac or big parts of the membrane remain coating the newborn, this is called a caul.

If they were absent, the inner membrane would ( perhaps ) be reduced to a single spherical shape, and with less reaction surface available, the reaction efficiency would be likewise reduced.

If the problems of membrane rupture associated with fetoscopy can be solved, this minimally invasive approach to repairing myelomeningocele before birth should be tested clinically.

If a female at midnight stretches between four sticks the membrane which envelopes the foal when it is brought forth, and creeps through it, naked, she will bear children without pain ; but all the boys will be shamans, and all the girls Maras.

If polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) tests on infected material are positive, subsequent restriction endonuclease pattern analysis of the amplified outer membrane protein A gene can be done to determine the genotype.

If ergosterol synthesis is completely or partially inhibited, the fungal cell is unable to construct an intact cell membrane, and dies.

If the membrane is of the amniotic tissue, it is removed by easily slipping it away from the child's skin.

If done correctly, the attending practitioner will place a small incision in the membrane across the nostrils so that the child can breathe.

If the two phases are at the same initial pressure, there is a net transfer of solvent across the membrane into the solution known as osmosis.

If a female at midnight stretches between four sticks the membrane which envelopes the foal when it is brought forth, and creeps through it, naked, she will bear children without pain ; but all the boys will be shamans, and all the girls Maras.

If, for example, a cell has a resting potential of-70mV, once the membrane potential changes to-50mV, then the cell has been depolarized.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.
