What's the difference between adjacent and cosine?

Adjacent


Definition:

  • (18) The bony elements of both adjacent vertebral bodies are secondarily involved.
  • (19) In two cases that showed punctate or linear low density structures adjacent to the distal side of the tumor nodules to the porta hepatis, a daughter nodule was detected by CT at 6.5 and 9.2 months, respectively, after the appearance of the low density structures.
  • (20) If a tear is found, remove all unstable meniscal fragments, leaving a rim, if possible, especially adjacent to the popliteus recess, and then proceed to open cystectomy.

Cosine


Definition:

  • (n.) The sine of the complement of an arc or angle. See Illust. of Functions.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) algebraic sum of these three cosine functions yielded a circadian waveform with peak-times occurring near 0300 and 1130 hr and a trough-time about 2200 hr.
  • (2) The EMG data were fit with a nonlinear, multiple cosine function, which allowed the identification of one, two, or sometimes three separate cosine peaks.
  • (3) The compression technique is a variation of the Consultive Committee on International Telephony and Telegraphy Joint Photograph Experts Group compression that suppresses the blocking of the discrete cosine transform except in areas of very high contrast.
