The dehydration tolerances of desert tortoises are also exceptional. Drying rates also affect the desiccation tolerance of somatic embryos and immature zygotic embryos or seeds. Experiments have shown that several species of coccolithophores have different light tolerances, in terms of the level at which photosynthesis, growth rate and calcification are saturated. Prior exposure to heat-shock temperatures has been shown to increase the tolerance of sensitive tissue to subsequent chilling. The difference among species may be caused by different tolerances for harsh conditions. This grain is grown in arid and semiarid regions of the world due to its unusual tolerance to adverse environments. A possible explanation of this difference is that the habitats of these species have different salinities and so the organisms may show markedly different salt tolerances. Synonyms endurance of, acceptance of 2.1 Diminution in the body's response to a drug after continued use. 耐药性；抗药力 Example sentencesExamples After a while, the smoker develops a tolerance to the drug, which leads to an increase in smoking. The fact that our body can develop a tolerance to alcohol complicates how we judge alcohol's affect on our bodies. He found also that the applicant had a good tolerance to alcohol. The decrease in lean body mass associated with aging results in decreased tolerance to alcohol. Regular use over a long time results in an increased tolerance to the drug so that larger doses are needed to achieve the same effect. Subjects tend to develop a higher tolerance to drugs that are self-administered. Doctors put me on meds but as soon as they start to work I have to switch again because I've built up a tolerance to them. The only set-back is that Mrs Lee is developing a tolerance to the medication and she has to keep increasing her doses. Take a five-day break from capsules or liquid every one to two weeks to prevent your body from developing a tolerance to the herb. The coroner concluded that his tolerance to the drug had probably fluctuated which meant his body could not cope with it. New users may include women genetically or otherwise predisposed to venous thrombosis, whereas long term users have shown tolerance to the drug. But many studies report that regular consumers of caffeine develop a tolerance to it. You can't build up a tolerance to any asthma or allergy medications. People are warned not to use a particular drug as a continued remedy for ill health because a tolerance and allergy can develop. This may be due to increasing tolerance to the drug over time. Users who have recently left prison are most at risk, as their tolerance to drugs has been lost while inside. Initially, a drug abuser is prescribed slowly increasing amounts of methadone to increase tolerance to the drug. Some patients who respond well initially develop tolerance to the injections. Users build up a tremendous tolerance to the drug and it is very expensive, so it can lead to crime if someone gets a serious habit. You may have a problem if you have developed a tolerance to drugs or alcohol. 3An allowable amount of variation of a specified quantity, especially in the dimensions of a machine or part. （尤指机器、零件的）公差；容限 250 parts in his cars were made to tolerances of one thousandth of an inch 他汽车里头的250个部件公差被限至1‰英寸。 Example sentencesExamples Machining tolerances are held to a minimum throughout each step of production. The intermediate arm is finished to a tolerance of 0.008 mm, and the cams controlling the eccentric shaft are machined to tolerances of a few hundredths of a millimeter. Manufacturing tolerances (being subject to the whim of the manufacturer, the machinist, wear and tear on the revolver and maybe even the tide) have a tendency to vary quite a bit. Different manufacturers also used different tolerances, meaning parts often did not fit together when assembled in the field. Those selecting the material should note that stock sizes and tolerances vary among the different plastics. Parts can be machined to extremely close tolerances. I would inspect each individual unit to ensure it was within the allowable dimensional tolerances, using a tape measure, and the surface finish by visual inspection. However, provided these fittings are machined to fine tolerances and shaped appropriately, a high-pressure seal can be maintained. In modern engines, which are produced to much finer tolerances, the amount of metal worn off is minimal. Extremely tight tolerances and uniform distribution means using less material than with other fillers. Designed for earthmoving with tight tolerances, it can provide accuracy within 6 mm. I understand that you are endeavouring to construct your moulds to achieve tighter tolerances. Harder than wrought iron, but with less carbon than true steel, mild steel was made in industrial-sized batches, and although it was easier to machine with close tolerances, it was harder for blacksmiths to forge and weld. To maximize performance without excessively tight tolerances on dimensions, design a carefully optimized number of mechanical adjustments into the instrument. Engineers sometimes must face the challenges of designing plastic parts that require machining because of their low quantities, close tolerances, or unusual shapes. Machining this tough hardened steel is more time-consuming and difficult, but it allows parts to be machined to very tight tolerances. All manufacturing tools and processes must constantly be improved and reinvented to address shrinking dimensions and tighter tolerances. Being the perfectionist that he is, everything is machined to the tightest tolerances and his finishing work is impeccable. This is what worries me about reels that are machined with fine tolerances. The machines can operate with tight tolerances at speeds of 500 parts per minute. Synonyms deviation, fluctuation, variation, allowance, play, clearance, leeway Origin Late Middle English (denoting the action of bearing hardship, or the ability to bear pain and hardship): via Old French from Latin tolerantia, from tolerare (see tolerate).
