What's the difference between acquisitive and acquisitiveness?

Acquisitive


Definition:

  • (a.) Acquired.
  • (a.) Able or disposed to make acquisitions; acquiring; as, an acquisitive person or disposition.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Multiple overlapping thin 3D slab acquisition is presented as a magnitude contrast (time of flight) technique which combines advantages from multiple thin slice 2D and direct 3D volume acquisitions to obtain high-resolution cross-sectional images of vessel detail.
  • (2) This computer is connected to a fileserver via a local area network and is used exclusively for data acquisition.
  • (3) The possibility that both IL 2 production and IL 2R expression are autonomously activated early in T cell development, before acquisition of the CD3-TcR complex, led us to study the implication of alternative pathways of activation at this ontogenic stage.
  • (4) Both groups did not differ in the acquisition rate.
  • (5) Nevertheless, acquisition of thermotolerance can be induced at any stage of the life cycle.
  • (6) It facilitated the acquisition of quantitative velocity information with standard Doppler ultrasound techniques by identifying areas of high velocity or turbulent flow and was invaluable in the assessment of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage occurring either as an isolated anomaly or in conjunction with complex intracardiac lesions.
  • (7) The early absolute but transient dependence of these A-MuLV mast cell transformants on a fibroblast feeder suggests a multistep process in their evolution, in which the acquisition of autonomy from factors of mesenchymal cell origin may play an important role.
  • (8) "Runners, for instance, need a high level of running economy, which comes from skill acquisition and putting in the miles," says Scrivener, "But they could effectively ease off the long runs and reduce the overall mileage by introducing Tabata training.
  • (9) Those small problems which exist can be attributed to detector sampling problems, especially in the axial direction, which is a consequence of the geometry of these scanners, which are designed primarily for 2D data acquisition.
  • (10) After 40 programmed minutes of acquisition and 12 min of maintenance, without notice, both schedules changed to extinction for 28 min.
  • (11) Young and old mice were entrained to an LD 12:12 cycle, and then physiological and behavioral performance was monitored by a data-acquisition system.
  • (12) FC Terek Grozny, the newly energised team based in the troubled Caucasus republic of Chechnya , is hoping a slew of high-profile international acquisitions will help it make waves in the Russian premier league, which kicked off last weekend.
  • (13) The rate of acquisition in POST-lesioned mice was observed to be facilitated at the 2 first time intervals (between days 19-22 and 32-35), but this effect was reversed (impairment) when the test was carried out between 45-48 days postsurgery; no significant effects were observed in ANT-lesioned mice.
  • (14) The purpose of this paper is to outline procedures that will facilitate the integration of microcomputers into the clinical milieu by (a) identifying the reasons why and how these devices are used improperly; (b) proposing ways to correct these problems; (c) providing recommendations concerning the acquisition of major microcomputer hardware, software, and adaptations; and (d) providing an annotated list of resources for further information.
  • (15) Overall, these results confirm that the medial septum plays a crucial role in the acquisition of problem solving.
  • (16) Following damage to anterodorsal CA1 cells and the alveus, acquisition was impaired but performance was normal when the task was learned preoperatively; postoperative acquisition and performance of the preoperatively learned task were impaired in animals with fimbrial lesions.
  • (17) The acquisition of dryness is accelerated by eradication of bacteriuria and a sympathetic and energetic management regime, which should place responsibility on the child and result in the child voiding more frequently and completely.
  • (18) Implications of these findings for fear and fainting acquisition and its relation to avoidance were discussed.
  • (19) In summary, these studies show: 1) that the H-35 cell IGF-II receptor is synthesized first as a 245-kDa precursor having 4-6 high-mannose oligosaccharide side chains, 2) processing of the receptor oligosaccharides by mannose removal and terminal sialylation converts the 245-kDa precursor to the 250-kDa mature product which has been previously identified as the functional receptor in the plasma membrane, 3) the apparent molecular mass of the receptor in the absence of N-glycosylation is 232-kDa, and 4) glycosylation of the IGF-II receptor is required for the acquisition of IGF-II binding activity.
  • (20) This trig pulse controls the acquisition of the ultrasound images.

Acquisitiveness


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality of being acquisitive; propensity to acquire property; desire of possession.
  • (n.) The faculty to which the phrenologists attribute the desire of acquiring and possessing.
