1.   A single sherd of Samarra lustre ware was found in the disturbed top surface layer.

2.   I thought the going would be easy after penetrating the surface layers of soil and roots with spade and ax.

3.   This creates a thin surface layer with relatively low thermal heat capacity which allows very rapid summer heating even at subpolar latitudes.

4.   We use it to pass a little electric current through the surface layers of the brain.

5.   Histological examination showed broad based mucosal ulcers with a surface layer of necrotic ulcer slough.

6.   Gastric mucosal phospholipids, and in particular those of the surface layer, play an important role in mucosal barrier function.

7.   It is difficult to separate the phospholipid surface layer of the gastric mucosa from the structural lipids of the cell membranes.

8.   A recent study showed, however, that the lipid composition of full thickness mucosal tissue from the rat stomach does not differ from that of the surface layer.

9.   A scouring at the cleaners removed only the surface layer of nearly three decades of grime.

10.   Deck cleaners remove dirt and grime and also the surface layer of dead cells in the wood.
