How can you use “compaction” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In this study, SEM was used to search for evidence of osmotic swelling and/or fiber cell compaction in the nucleus of non-cataractous and clinically diagnosed nuclear cataractous human lenses from persons with diabetes.
In conclusion, this study is in agreement with our earlier finding that nuclear fiber cell compaction in the lens is a normal and measurable process with advancing age; the process of cataractogenesis appears to have a profound effect on the extent and severity of compaction in the nucleus.
Computer-assisted measurements (using Adobe Photoshop 6.0, Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA; NIH Image 1.62, US National Institutes of Health, http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/) were made from scanned SEM micrograph negatives investigating four parameters (magnifications are in parentheses): 1. anterior ellipsoid angle of fetal nuclear fibers (40-60 X), 2. posterior ellipsoid angle of fetal nuclear fibers (40-60 X), 3. embryonic nuclear polar axis length (200-400 X), and 4. average number of embryonic nuclear fiber compaction folds over a 20 μm distance (2000 X).
The osmotic swelling of the cortex in typical diabetic lenses is not matched by comparable water uptake in the nucleus; in fact, compaction occurs in similar fashion to that observed in non-diabetic lenses.
Diabetes may elicit an increased compaction rate as well as an earlier onset of cataract formation, though there may be multiple mechanisms of action dependent on disease type, duration, or treatment strategy.
