1. The sedimentation rate in the basin has varied strongly over geological time. 2. Basin growth is controlled by load migration and corresponding sedimentation rates . 3. The diagnosis is confirmed by a high sedimentation rate blood test. 4. They also experienced sizable drops in a marker of inflammation called erythrocyte sedimentation rate . 5. The serum C reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate , and ferritin level are markedly elevated. 6. The sedimentation rates decreased gradually from the upstream to the crest of the dam. 7. Recent non-consolidated radiolarian oozes have sedimentation rates of 1 to 5 meters / million years. 8. Bentonite plays a mechanical role of ballast to settle the colloids-it accelerates the sedimentation rate . 9. Relevant blood tests include erythrocyte sedimentation rate , glucose, TSH. 10. The sedimentation rate of the lakes has increased eightfold since the beginning of the 19th century.
