Meanings
- not comparableZero times as great; unchanged or remaining constant.
The crosses indicate that no bitterness was detected at zerofold dilution (Schwimmer, 1968).
1979, N. A. Michael Eskin, “Sulfur Compounds: Biogenesis”, in Plant Pigments, Flavors and Textures: The Chemistry and Biochemistry of Selected Compounds, Academic Press, section II (Natural Flavor Compounds of Foods: Their Biogenesis and Effects on Quality), chapter section II (Alliums), page 525 more examples
Although paramagnetic, this species is unlikely to be detected by epr because of (1) zerofold splitting of the S = 2 ground state, which shifts allowed transitions to inaccessible magnetic fields and (2) unusually short spin-lattice relaxation times.
1979, Graham Palmer, “Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of Hemoproteins”, in David Dolphin, editor, The Porphyrins: Physical Chemistry, Part B, volume IV, Academic Press, section VIII (Applications), page 341With decreasing total efficiency there is an apparent decrease of the impact parameter range caused by the strong increase of the unobserved zerofold probability in correspondence of low-multiplicity peripheral events.
1994, Nuovo Cimento, page 702Quantitation of these results by densitometry revealed that JAK3 was demonstrably up-regulated following SAC and antiCD40 stimulation (fourfold increase relative to actin) while JAK1 and STAT3 levels remained constant (zerofold increase relative to actin).
1995, The Journal of Immunology, page 5223Likewise, we assume that zerofold convolutions of the distributions a, b, and y are Dirac distributed with a constant value of zero.
2012, Eda Özden, Discrete Time Analysis of Consolidated Transport Processes, KIT Scientific Publishing, →ISBN, →ISSN, page 57The existence ratio of m/z 212.01 in the postdosed human urine samples at day 9 were approximately zerofold higher when compared to the predosed human urine samples,[…]The existence ratio of m/z 664.3126 in the alcohol treated rats was approximately fivefold higher, when compared to that in the control group rats, and YCHT treated group at day 9, and the existence ratio of m/z 708.2932 in the alcohol treated rats was approximately zerofold higher when compared to that in the control, and YCHT treated group rats at day 9.
