The researchers' experiments show that the CRISPR locus limits the ability of the S. epidermidis strain to act as a plasmid recipient, essentially denying entry to the genes carrying the resistance.

研究者的实验表明，CRISPR位点限制了s。epidermidis菌株作为一个质粒接受体的能力，从本质上阻断了能引起抗性基因的进入。

The twin boundaries act as strong obstacles to the dislocation motion, so lead to higher strain-hardening.

As a material highly sensitive to the environment, graphene could act as a sensor with a single device measuring strain, gas, magnetism or pressure.

BBC: Is graphene really a wonder-material?

Whether such currents could act as earthquake predictors depends on whether there are changes in the strain on a fault before it slips.

This means that Dr Meredith's method can reach back into the distant past, and catch a glimpse of the act of cross-fertilisation between two different varieties of grapevine that created the strain that the cuttings have perpetuated.
