Examples

“Velocitization refers simply to deceptive speeds possible on a modern expressway.”

“Velocitization is a special danger when leaving a freeway. You may misjudge your speed⟳ on the exit ramp and come⟳ suddenly upon traffic stopped at a junction point⟳ connecting a lower speed⟳ roadway.”

“To prevent⟳ velocitization, the feeling of going slower than you really are, keep⟳ checking the speedometer while you drive⟳.”

“A single gradient (part B) usually will suffice, although to obtain⟳ maximum purity (e.g., for use⟳ as a probe), a velocitization step (part D) and a second CsCl-PI gradient (part E) are added. The velocitization differs from equilibrium gradients in that molecules are pelleted at a rate proportional to their size and largeley independent of conformation.”

“For most enzymatic manipulations, including restriction endonuclease digestion, end-labelling, nick translation, or primer extension labelling (random priming), it is usually not necessary to perform⟳ the velocitization and final gradient steps.”

“A velocitization is sometimes used between two density-gradient ultracentrifugations to [19] mitochondrial genomics 317.”
