What's the difference between abscissa and abscissae?
Abscissa
Definition:
(n.) One of the elements of reference by which a point, as of a curve, is referred to a system of fixed rectilineal coordinate axes.
Example Sentences:
(1) The data of the children with ROP, at birth and at the time when ROP developed, were recorded on a prognosis card, in each case between the child's absolute age (abscissa) and birthweight in g (ordinate).
(2) A negative correlation was found to exist between hepatic blood flow (ordinate) and fractional hepatic extraction (abscissa) of 125I-bPTH(1-84), both in the basal state (r = -.483, p less than .05, n = 24) and after having modified serum calcium (r = -.548, p less than .01, n = 24).
(3) Thus, both these agents which increase intracellular c-AMP caused a rightward shift in the curve expressing force (ordinate) as a function of Ca2+ influx (abscissa).
(4) By using a small computer, an analog to digital conversion is made and then the different spikes are recognized and characterized by means of their temporal abscissa (time of occurrence), amplitude, duration and type.
(5) Slopes greater than 1 were obviously due to discrepancies between the free inhibitor concentration (If) present in the assay and It plotted on the abscissa and could, therefore, be indicators of tight-binding conditions.
(6) The method makes use of (i) the abscissa of the first inflection point of the plot of any signal proportional to the binding of ligand to receptors versus the logarithm of the total ligand concentration, and (ii) the initial slope of the saturation curve plotted in direct coordinates.
(7) The relationship between the slope of the plot and the substrate concentration shows characteristic features depending on the inhibition type: for partial competitive inhibition, the straight line converging on the abscissa at--Ks, the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex; for non-competitive inhibition, a constant slope independent of the substrate concentration; for uncompetitive inhibition, a hyperbola decreasing with the increase in the substrate concentration; for mixed-type inhibition, a hyperbola increasing with the increase in the substrate concentration.
(8) In order to calculate a short segment of a V-P curve, the P"V"V was plotted on the ordinate and the PAW on the abscissa.
(9) Force increased in all intact muscles continually with sarcomere length from 1.6-2.4 microns; the relation between force and sarcomere length was convex toward the ordinate at high Ca++0 and convex toward the abscissa at low Ca++0.
(10) Locus equations are straight-line regression fits to data points formed by plotting onsets of F2 transitions along the ordinate and their corresponding midvowel nuclei along the abscissa.
(11) Each rearrangement was graphed once with actual (unbalanced result) or potential (normal or balanced result) imbalances plotted with trisomy as the ordinate and monosomy as the abscissa.
(12) Seven abscissas show the oxygen partial pressure gradients from the inspired air at a distinct altitude to the arterial blood.
(13) The curve representing the relation between force and sarcomere length shifted from convex towards the ordinate (pH 7.35) to convex towards the abscissa (pH 6.68) as after [Ca++]o had been reduced from 1.5 to 0.3 mmol X litre-1.
(14) Furthermore, extrapolated lines at high MgATP concentrations intersect on the abscissa, indicating loss of synergism in binding of substrates.
(15) Double reciprocal plots for Isi versus [Ca]0 drawn at pH 7.3 and 6.3 intersected at the abscissa, and indicated that H and Ca did not compete for a common site.
(16) 4 and 8 and the axis of abscissae can be taken as an objective criterion of a qualitatively abnormal movement of the cervical vertebral units.
(17) Definite integration from the origin to 1.0 and 2.0 on the abscissa gives the numerical value of AUC in each curve.
(18) A linear relationship between plasma DOPEG (ordinate) and plasma noradrenaline (NA; abscissa) was found during orthostasis as well as during NA infusion.
(19) The resulting double-reciprocal plot was linear; its slope and its intercepts on the ordinate and abscissa were pH-dependent.
(20) The dose-depolarization curve for enhanced aspartate responses (measured at a fixed time following a given dose of glutamate) was displaced to the left along the abscissa scale relative to control, with no detectable change in limiting log-log slope.
