What's the difference between apparent and conspicuous?

Apparent


Definition:

  • (a.) Clear or manifest to the understanding; plain; evident; obvious; known; palpable; indubitable.
  • (a.) Appearing to the eye or mind (distinguished from, but not necessarily opposed to, true or real); seeming; as the apparent motion or diameter of the sun.
  • (n.) An heir apparent.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) We present a mathematical model that is suitable to reconcile this apparent contradiction in the interpretation of the epidemiological data: the observed parallel time series for the spread of AIDS in groups with different risk of infection can be realized by computer simulation, if one assumes that the outbreak of full-blown AIDS only occurs if HIV and a certain infectious coagent (cofactor) CO are present.
  • (16) Pedigree studies have suggested that there may be an inherited predisposition to many apparently nonfamilial colorectal cancers and a genetic model of tumorigenesis in common colorectal cancer has been proposed that includes the activation of dominantly acting oncogenes and the inactivation of growth suppressor genes.
  • (17) At 100 microM-ACh the apparent open time became shorter probably due to channel blockade by ACh molecules.
  • (18) For SP and NKA the decrease was apparent in all brain regions and both in the right and left hemispheres.
  • (19) Glucocorticoids have been shown in in vitro systems to inhibit the release of arachidonic acid metabolites, namely prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes, apparently, via the induction of a phospholipase A2 inhibitory protein, called lipocortin.
  • (20) The authors examined an eye obtained post-mortem from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease of childhood and clinically apparent chorioretinal scars.

Conspicuous


Definition:

  • (a.) Open to the view; obvious to the eye; easy to be seen; plainly visible; manifest; attracting the eye.
  • (a.) Obvious to the mental eye; easily recognized; clearly defined; notable; prominent; eminent; distinguished; as, a conspicuous excellence, or fault.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Platinum deer mice are conspicuously pale, with light ears and tail stripe.

  • (5) Postoperative haemodynamics in patients with cardiac disease followed the same trends as in normal patients; there were, however, no significant changes in cardiac index or central pressures, and in general the cardiovascular reaction to operation was less conspicuous than in the group of normal patients.
  • (6) This implies that there is no important loss of motor units and no conspicuous muscle fiber degeneration in fibromyalgia.
  • (7) However, if solubility is considered as a function of pH at equilibrium, i.e., the final pH after the dissolution products have entered the solvent--a model more akin to the in vivo situation--hydroxyapatite is the conspicuously more soluble of the two minerals.
  • (8) SER proliferation in rat and monkey liver cells was less conspicuous than in mice.
  • (9) Another conspicuous histologic finding observed in the WKY hearts was that the continuity of the latitudinal fiber bundle of the ventricular septum with that of the left ventricular free wall, an important functioning unit for pressure generation in the left ventricle, was markedly disturbed in the area of junction between the 2 walls; the smaller the continuity, the greater the cardiac hypertrophy; the disadvantage of the discontinuity for the pressure generation may be related to the development of cardiac hypertrophy.
  • (10) The media theorist Nathan Jurgenson reads it as "conspicuous acquisition", after Thorstein Verblen's notion of conspicuous consumption.
