What's the difference between adimensional and dimensionless?
Adimensional
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) In that case, an adimensional K index typical of the morphology of the aggregates can be determined.
Dimensionless
Definition:
(a.) Without dimensions; having no appreciable or noteworthy extent.
Example Sentences:
(1) Using the hypothesis that the biodynamical efficiency may not be greater than the inverse age rate beta, a dimensionless number is constructed, which is given by the product of age rate beta and the theoretical lifespan T.
(2) Dimensionless similarity criteria were used to produce a biological clock for ceftizoxime elimination.
(3) The nonideality of all three colligative expressions is described by a dimensionless constant called the solute-solvent interaction parameter I.
(4) Assuming that the catalytic action of the enzyme obeys a Michaelis-Menten rate expression and that the deactivation of the enzyme follows a first-order decay, the present analysis employs the dimensionless, integrated form of the overall rate expression to obtain a criterion (based on the maximization of the determinant of the derivative matrix) that relates the a priori estimates of the parameters with the times at which samples should be withdrawn from the reacting mixture.
(5) Two criteria are used for screening: both involve the parameter [(delta rho)4] (delta rho is a dimensionless function proportional to the Fourier transform of the set of observed structure factors).
(6) A new calibration constant is introduced, viz., the response factor (RF, dimensionless), which is independent of the diameter of the capillary, the construction of the universal detector and the driving current used during detection.
(7) On the basis of the dimensionless stride length, stride frequency, pelvic rotation and trunk rotation, deficits in the gait of stroke patients could be quantified.
(8) Assymptotic solutions show that the volume estimates are governed by a time constant, tau, related to diffusion in the tissue, to tissue capacity, and to wall permeability, and by a dimensionless ratio, f, describing a relation of tau to vascular transport time.
(9) ct and cv are dimensionless quantities that increase with [4-AP] and reflect the voltage-independent and voltage-dependent component, respectively, of block.
(10) The dimensionless input parameters are: U, a horizontal Froude number based on forward speed and leg length; V, a vertical Froude number based on vertical landing velocity and leg length, and KLEG, a dimensionless stiffness for the leg-spring.
(11) This is the most important dimensionless group influencing the motion of a particle relative to the fluid.
(12) The quantitative assessment of the technological effectiveness of the products is done by using a single dimensionless overall index that varies from 0 to 1, this facilitating a comparative evaluation of this effectiveness.
(13) The estimated dimensionless carrier parameters for 2 are J*max = 0.16, Km = 0.08 mM, P*c = 2.0, and P*m = 0.25; for lisinopril, passive absorption is not significant and its absorption is nonpassive: J*max = 0.032, Km = 0.082 mM, and P*c = 0.39 (where J*max is the maximal flux, Km is the Michaelis constant, P*c is the carrier permeability, and P*m is the passive permeability).
(14) Proper nondimensionalization of the resulting equations leads to the identification of dimensionless parameters which combine the transport characteristics of the endothelial wall and the intravascular flow resistance.
(15) The governing differential equations are given in dimensionless form to make the results representative of animals of all body sizes.
(16) Mean systolic pressure differences, volume losses, and energy losses, as well as dimensionless pressure losses and energy loss coefficients, are calculated from the recorded pressure, volume, and flow tracings.
(17) The performance of hemodialyzers was expressed schematically using three dimensionless quantities.
(18) It requires only the introduction of two dimensionless ratios into the standard model: the ratio of the mean unbound ligand concentration actually present within the capillary or sinusoid to its equilibrium value, and the ratio of the permeability of the membrane plus associated extracellular diffusion barriers to the permeability of the membrane alone.
(19) The distribution of the Arden ratio (A) and another dimensionless EOG quantity (G) devised by Gliem (1971) in a sample of normal human subjects are presented.
(20) In this study, we use published empirical relationships, developed to identify the initial change from oscillating laminar flow to oscillating turbulent flow in tubes, to derive the limiting relationships between a dimensionless stroke volume and the Womersley number for maintenance of laminar conditions.
