sedimentation

Scientists estimate that human activities—such as pollution, global warming, and sedimentation—could kill 30 percent of reefs in the next three decades..科学家估计人类活动--例如污染、全球变暖和沉淀--会在接下来的三十年间杀死30%的暗礁。

The natural sedimentation of cells due to gravity is balanced by the bioreactor's rotation, resulting in a gentle falling of cells within the media in the chamber..由重力作用导致的细胞的自然沉降被反应器的旋转所平衡掉，因而细胞能够在反应器腔内的培养基中温和地下降。

When the brain relaxes, it’s like a sedimentation process in action..当大脑休息的时候，它犹如进入了一个问题沉淀处理的环节。
