What's the difference between algebraic and former?

Algebraic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Algebraical

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.

  • (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.

  • (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.

Former


Definition:
