‘In applied mathematics he studied optics, electricity, telegraphy, capillarity, elasticity, thermodynamics, potential theory, quantum theory, theory of relativity and cosmology.’
‘The patients had an elevated number of less efficient type II muscle fibers, whereas muscle fiber cross-sectional areas, capillarity, and mitochondrial volume density were not different between the groups.’
‘Moisture levels in the foundation, and capillarity of the soil were measured, along with VOCs; the foundation was opened; and microbes from indoor air and materials were cultured.’
‘Typically, the assessment of capillarity in patients with COPD has revealed rarefaction.’
‘The surface tension was obtained as a fitting parameter when the experimental drop profile was fitted to the theoretical curve governed by the Laplace equation of capillarity.’
Origin
Mid 19th century: from French capillarité, from Latin capillaris ‘like a hair’ (see capillary).
