What's the difference between algebra and bloke?

Algebra


Definition:

  • (n.) That branch of mathematics which treats of the relations and properties of quantity by means of letters and other symbols. It is applicable to those relations that are true of every kind of magnitude.
  • (n.) A treatise on this science.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Alphaxalone and endogenous steroid hormone metabolites inhibit the binding of [35S]-t-butyl bicyclophosphorothionate in some regions, enhance it in others and give biphasic concentration-dependence in others, apparently the result of algebraic summation of two effects involving regional-dependent enhancement or inhibition.
  • (2) When likelihood ratios are expressed as an algebraic function, maximum values are easily determined, hence fixing the limits of DNA analysis.

  • (6) Parameters of quantitative genetic models have traditionally been estimated by either algebraic manipulation of familial correlations (or familial mean squares), biometric model fitting, or multiple-group covariance structure analysis.
  • (7) The slight diminution of this increase when (+)-erythro-DOPS was administered after inhibition of peripheral decarboxylase, might result from the algebraic sum of two inversely acting processes: suppression of NE synthesis in the capillary walls and enhancement of parenchymatous NE in some brain areas.
  • (8) The effect of self fertilization on the distribution of genetic types in a population can be represented algebraically by a linear transformation.

  • (12) By simple algebraic manipulation, Zelman introduced a pair of new reflection coefficients, and a third new parameter gamma which he misleadingly calls the "deviation from the dilute solution approximation."
  • (13) He merely wanted to highlight how Islam, which produced algebra and kept safe the Greek philosophers of antiquity in the middle ages, had lost its way scientifically by focusing too much on the study of religion.
  • (14) The graphic representation of family data for the computation of the coefficients of inbreeding [F] and relationship [r] can be replaced by an algebraic method.
  • (15) Traditional "stimulus-time-locked signal averaging" of human EEG, as usually practiced in both clinical and basic contexts, assumes the superposition principle of algebraic summation for a linear time series.
  • (16) Analysis of an algebraic model of multi-level exposure misclassification reveals that all odds ratios based on the misclassified data are constrained between the nonmisclassified odds ratio for the most extreme category and the inverse of this value.
  • (17) Then the integral equation is reduced to a system of algebraic equations of z - 1th degree with N + 1 unknowns.
  • (18) In the Appendix to this paper an algebraic relation is given which must be satisfied for two cysteine residues to make a disulfide bond.
  • (19) Understanding patterns that are associated with survival or death may require alternative mathematic approaches, such as group and set theory manipulated by principles of Boolean algebra.
  • (20) Concordance-dependent ascertainment is easily modeled algebraically; non-independent ascertainment is more complex and we here propose a model based on survival analysis.

Bloke


Definition:

Example Sentences:
