Higher temperatures force coral to expel living algae and turn white as it calcifies.

The fact is that as political orthodoxy matures, it calcifies, imposing more costs than benefits.

But even here the tendency to stereotype slightly calcifies the composition, offering us insight at arms length.

In many fish, body tissue calcifies and shows growth layers — like rings on a tree trunk — that scientists can count.

Lead, on the other hand, calcifies rapidly, so it might not have been able to slide into the Romans' drinking water.

Because dental plaque is a biofilm of bacteria that calcifies and hardens, it can preserve bacteria for thousands of years, Weyrich said.

We see April fall in love twice: First, with Nick; then, after the relief of mutual understanding with Clara calcifies into lasting friendship.

Maybe it's Moira, casting a shadow of resistance across time and space as Offred's abject fear slowly calcifies into a refusal to give in.

Rocket is marvellous in its sonic variety, and it calcifies the image of Giannascoli as a kid who can go wherever he wants, whenever he chooses, and always produce something fascinating.

Basically, Kayla may not be a real person, but her story calcifies one of the main themes in Bombshell: That many women say Fox News was a toxic workplace for women under Ailes.

When Helen Weiss, the prosecutor, leads him through a confession, Naz's thinking calcifies around the belief that he must continue to profess his innocence, despite the soundness of Stone's argument that "12 idiots on a jury" can't be trusted to get it right.

While an accompanying behind-the-scenes video notes that Native people were hired to consult in the making of this campaign, by associating Indigenous communities with a wild, primitive landscape, and by centering the experience of a white "explorer," the ad calcifies dangerous colonial tropes and traffics in romantic stereotypes that relegate Native peoples to the past.

Interior surface of shell plates is covered in small pits. In young specimens, basis is entirely membraneous. As the animal grows, basis calcifies progressively inwards, leaving only central portion membraneous. As this happens, layers of secondary calcareous material form on inside of shell.

A patient may carry a dead fetus but will not go into labor. Over time, the fetus calcifies and becomes a lithopedion. It is generally recommended to perform a laparotomy when the diagnosis of an abdominal pregnancy is made. However, if the baby is alive and medical support systems are in place, careful watching could be considered to bring the baby to viability.

This feature is shared only by Rehderella belyaevi, but in latter species, scutum and tergum can be distinguished by raised ridge replacing old articular margin. Unique feature of Nesochthamalus is its basis. In young individuals, it is entirely membraneous, and with age, becomes secondarily calcareous progressively inwards, leaving only the center membraneous. As the basis calcifies, it rises off the substrate forming a saucer shape when viewed from the side.

Velvet antler, the antler in the premature growing stages, is the main product derived from mature bull elk. In the second year of a bull elk life the antler begins to grow and continues to do so every year after that. The velvet is harvested while in the late stages of growth, just before it starts to turn into antler. That is when it calcifies and becomes hard like bone.

Chest X-ray of a Ghon's focus A Ghon focus is a primary lesion usually subpleural, often in the mid to lower zones, caused by Mycobacterium bacilli (tuberculosis) developed in the lung of a nonimmune host (usually a child). It is named for Anton Ghon (1866–1936), an Austrian pathologist. It is a small area of granulomatous inflammation, only detectable by chest X-ray if it calcifies or grows substantially (see tuberculosis radiology).Kumar, Vinay; Abbas, Abul K.; Fausto, Nelson; & Mitchell, Richard N. (2007).

The corals maintain their metabolic rate by temporarily switching to heterotrophy, consuming prey such as brine shrimp and other zooplankton. Porites growth rates can be determined by examining annual rings in their skeleton. This method was used to determine that P. astreoides grows its skeleton about the central axis by approximately 3.67mm/year, calcifies at approximately 0.55g/cm²/year, and increases density in this region of the body at approximately 1.69g/cm³/year. Additionally, Meyer and Schultz (1985) reported that coral growth varies seasonally.

A lithopedion. This highly unusual specimen remained in the abdomen of a woman for 55 years. During this time the mother had five additional uncomplicated pregnancies. A lithopedion – also spelled lithopaedion or lithopædion – ( = stone; = small child, infant), or stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside as part of a foreign body reaction, shielding the mother's body from the dead tissue of the fetus and preventing infection.

A dermal bone or investing bone or membrane bone is a bony structure derived from intramembranous ossification forming components of the vertebrate skeleton including much of the skull, jaws, gill covers, shoulder girdle and fin spines rays (lepidotrichia), and the shell (of tortoises and turtles). In contrast to endochondral bone, dermal bone does not form from cartilage that then calcifies, and it is often ornamented. Dermal bone is formed within the dermis and grows by accretion only – the outer portion of the bone is deposited by osteoblasts. The function of some dermal bone is conserved throughout vertebrates, although there is variation in shape and in the number of bones in the skull roof and postcranial structures.

The sequel was not as financially successful as the first film and it generated mostly negative reviews. USA Today considered the movie "plodding, unfunny and almost cringe- worthy", but also noted that "Reese Witherspoon still does a fine job portraying the fair-haired lovable brainiac, but her top-notch comic timing is wasted on the humorless dialogue." Meanwhile, Salon concluded that the sequel "calcifies everything that was enjoyable about the first movie". Despite being panned by critics, the sequel took in over $39 million in its first five days in the U.S. box office charts and eventually grossed $90 million in the US. Witherspoon was paid $15 million for the role—a starting point to make her consistently one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses from 2002 until 2010.
