When the ship rode up a wave, this hollow filled with water; but at least it offered a kind of security.

My refuge had been a depression between the roots of a huge old tree, a hollow filled with dead leaves.

As the hollow filled with sunlight, the man saw the truth of the matter-and grinned.

He gestured at the opening between the oak trees, and the valley below, its hollows filling with dark.

That is, they did not until the road dipped before them and they started down into a cupped hollow filled with buildings.

Before it reached it, though, the road suddenly dipped down again and ran into a shallow hollow filled with sunshine.

Slowly these hollows filled with mud to become marshes and then lowland peat.

It lives in tree hollows filled with water, in closed-canopy rainforest.

For proof, she asks him to look at a rock and he fancies he sees a hollow filled with blood.

She sat there awhile longer, until the slopes lay softly revealed to her, their hollows filled with inky shadows.

Sharina looked over the lip of rock, expecting to see a hollow filled with bubbling magma.

Reaching the location where he shot the tiger, Corbett found a hollow filled with dead leaves, flattened with patches of blood around it.

They came upon several hollows filled with water, silent dark meres, some little more than puddles or ponds, others several acres in extent.

After you've eaten that, you unscrew the middle part and find a hollow filled with meat and potatoes, vegetables and a fine salad.

This steep trail is marked with red blazes and climbs a hollow filled with lichen-covered rocks to a vista.

The technique involves etching a design in a piece of glass, which is then lined with gold foil and the hollow filled with powdered enamel.

By the mid 17th century it was called the Dimple or Dimble, a name meaning a deep hollow filled with trees or bushes.

Excess rock and soil laden with toxic mining byproducts are often dumped into nearby valleys, in what are called "hollow fills" or "valley fills."

The three Of them, Hal, Althuda and Aboli, lay belly down in a small hollow filled with rank grass.

Beginning at the parking area for group camping, the trail passes through hemlock groves, before descending on a moderate grade into a hollow filled with spring and summer flowers.

The two of them were in Alara's lair, re-clining in their natural forms in smooth hollows filled with the soft sand that dragons preferred to rest in.

As a result of thawing inland ice, the underlying land rose and the hollows filled with water; the predecessor of what became the Baltic Sea, Ancylus Lake emerged.

He knew what was coming, and something vast, huge and hollow filled him-the sensation almost like standing in the path of a gale, knowing that when it came, he would be blown away.

He could almost hear the old man's voice saying it, and he rose immediately, with the blanket still around his shoulders, and moved away up the slope fifty yards until he found a hollow filled with dead leaves.

Internally each contains eleven hollow fibres or tubules.

They are normally made of a cover, filled with feathers or man made fibres such as polyester and hollow fibre.

Airguard is a fabric made of polyamide hollow fibres.

In addition, there were five layers of kapok, a natural hollow fibre and a forerunner of synthetic versions.

In terms of membrane configurations, mainly hollow fibre and flat sheet membranes are applied for MBR applications.

The puppets' papier-mâché heads were replaced by interchangeable hollow fibre glass heads with internal rods that could move the eyes from side to side.

Siliconised Hollow fibre:Bonded hollow fibre with a silicone finish to give extra softness and 'slip'.

The design in the image to the right depicts a flat channel configuration, but can also be understood as a schema for flat-, hollow fibre - or spiral wound modules.

The introduction of microporous hollow fibres with very low resistance to mass transfer revolutionized the design of membrane modules, as the limiting factor to oxygenator performance became the blood resistance .

Dutton, R.C., et al., "Development and Evaluation of a New Hollow Fibre Membrane Oxygenator", Transactions of the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, 17 (1971), 331-336.

As ordinary synthetics don't 'breathe' as well as natural fibres, look out for advanced synthetics (polyester with viscose, polypropylene and Chlorofibre) with hollow fibres that wick well, and are also able to retain heat.

Now, it has major strengths in scientific research on textile composite materials, hollow fibre membrane separating technology, special functional fibre materials, textile oiling agent, semiconductor lighting, and production of electromechanical equipment integration, all of which have their own notable characteristics.

Pall, US, and Asahi Chemical, Japan, have formed an agreement under which Asahi's industrial membrane division will supply Pall with its advanced hollow fibre ultrafiltration modules and application skills for sale in Pall designed systems.

The treatment facility uses a membrane bioreactor process, manufactured and supplied by GE/Zenon, consisting of two bioreactor tanks and an ultrafiltration (hollow fibre) membrane tank, followed by chlorination to remove colour and disinfect the reclaimed water.

The early artificial lungs used relatively impermeable polyethylene or Teflon homogeneous membranes, and it was not until more highly permeable silicone rubber membranes were introduced in the 1960s (and as hollow fibres in 1971) that the membrane oxygenator became commercially successful .

The demonstration project of hollow fibre membrane industry covering an area of about 1,000,000 square meters in has been accepted by the National Development and Reform Committee and has become the largest hollow fibre membrane production base in our country.

Complete table top set up of hollow fiber membrane module.

The combined area of the hollow fibers is typically between 1-2 square meters.

One idea is to place hollow fibers containing crack-sealing material into the concrete.

The same hollow fibers are used in disposable diapers.

The new invention soaks up air through a multitude of hollow fiber tubes.

Recent developments include a device that uses small hollow fibers and the heart's own pumping power to oxygenate blood.

These communicate with the space around the hollow fibers, the "dialysate compartment."

Most hollow fibers are hydrophobic and must be modified to work with hydrophilic molecules.

But the improved hollow fibers are still 5,000 times leakier than the top fibers already in the market.

The water vapor-laden air then passes through the center bore of hollow fibers in the membrane bundle.

The heated air enters the membrane, which is made up of thousands of miniature hollow fibers.

True silk is a hollow fiber with a rough surface that resists slipping past the loop unless gently pulled.

The dialyzer is composed of thousands of tiny synthetic hollow fibers.

As air flows through the hollow fibers, both oxygen and nitrogen permeate through the fiber walls.

The gas that reaches the end of the hollow fibers without permeating is almost entirely nitrogen and is discharged.

Hemodialysis can be performed in the first circuit via the same high-flux hollow fibers.

These agents are immobilized around approximately 2800 porous hollow fibers that run the interior length of our device.

The most commonly used synthetic membrane devices (modules) are flat plates, spiral wounds, and hollow fibers.
