First, the imbibition proceeds by compressing the air inside the aggregate.
2
The most jovial of the celebrants tells of his early imbibition of red ink.
3
However, despite its considerable importance during seed imbibition and germination processes, primary carbon metabolism in seeds is less studied.
4
But the most remarkable and interesting case of this kind of action is the imbibition of oxygen by metallic platinum.
5
The imbibition kinetics of a millimeter-sized aggregate of 300 nm diameter colloidal particles by a wetting pure solvent is studied.
6
Finally, the imbibition starts again at a constant excess of pressure, smaller than the capillary pressure but larger than the one of the atmosphere.
7
Theories are put forward, most learned theories, introducing capillary action, osmosis and cellular imbibition, to explain why the caulicle ascends and the radical descends.
8
To manage this little feeding organism, with its wondrous instinct and capacity of imbibition, is the first great question after that of race is settled.

*The distinction between true absorption and mere permeation, or imbibition, is by no means clearly understood: see Mller's 'Physiology,' Eng.
