"... perhaps other lexicographers and occasionally reviewers, but it is customary to
produce a Preface and make an apologia. This dictionary is the lineal
descendent of the Dictionary of Cell Biology, first published in 1989, that had a
second edition in ... been rewritten, some headwords have second definitions (
B600), third definitions (B300), even sixth definitions (60) added, less than half

"I have already discussed the behaviour due to a simple pure kinesis, in which the
cell motility on one side of a boundary differs from that on the other side. The
proposed relationship at equilibrium, between the augmented diffusion constant
and the cell density, rests on the assumption that crossing the boundary has no
effect on the cell other than a change in the level of motility. With some possible
mechanisms of kinesis behavio ..."
