What's the difference between aration and tillage?
Aration
Definition:
(n.) Plowing; tillage.
Example Sentences:

(4) Because the position of the ellipse of concentration depended upon the form in which mass was displaced in figures, the fraction of the figure falling within the area of the ellipse (FINE) and the ratio of the ellipse area to the figure's area (ARAT) became decorrelated from each other in figures with massive projections.

(8) The specific activities of REH and ARAT were not affected by ZD.
(9) Ethanol ingestion decreased REH (P = 0.0001) and ARAT activities (P = 0.02) and increased cytochrome P-450 (P = 0.04) but had no effect on the activity of ADH in either age group.
(10) The enzymes studied were retinyl ester hydrolase (REH) and microsomal acyl coenzyme A:retinol acyl transferase (ARAT), the principal enzymes regulating retinyl ester hydrolysis and synthesis.

(12) Thus, when substrate was near or below Km, retinol esterification occurred predominantly by LRAT in the liver and ARAT in the mammary gland, respectively.
(13) ARAT catalyzed the synthesis of retinyl laurate when free retinol and lauroyl-CoA were provided as substrates.
(14) All three mutants were also determined to be resistant to the nucleotide analogs (S)-1-[(3-hydroxy-2- phosphonylmethoxy)propyl]adenine (HPMPA) and (S)-1-[(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonylmethoxy)propyl]cytosine (HPMPC) and hypersensitive to thymine-1-D-arabinofuranoside (AraT).
(15) Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450, retinyl ester hydrolase (REH) and cellular retinol-binding protein (cRBP) were significantly reduced; acyl coenzyme A: retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) was increased; and alcohol (retinol) dehydrogenase (ADH) activity was unchanged with age.
(16) The UVB- and retinol-induced ARAT activity was less dependent on exogenous palmitoyl-CoA than that of control microsomes and experiments indicated that this might be due to an increased endogenous concentration of long-chain acyl-CoA in the microsomes.
(17) Experiments with competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors of [3H]retinol esterification established that the epidermal enzyme was an acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT; EC 2.3.1.76).
(18) The inhibition of ARAT by retinoic acid may be of importance for normal retinol absorption in patients receiving retinoid therapy.
(19) Additions of purine or pyrimidine arabinosides (araT, araC, and araA) to all cell lines resulted in a similar cytotoxicity, suggesting the anabolism of dTTP was not defective in the tr5 clone.
(20) Since the lacrimal gland contains stores of retinyl esters, it was the goal of this study to determine whether the lacrimal gland contains ARAT activity.
Tillage
Definition:
(n.) The operation, practice, or art of tilling or preparing land for seed, and keeping the ground in a proper state for the growth of crops.
(n.) A place tilled or cultivated; cultivated land.
Example Sentences:
(1) Two long-term tillage studies on fine-textured, clay loam soils were sampled in July and November 1977 following 2 years of limited rainfall.
(2) These data indicate that tillage can have substantial effects on the accumulation of NO3 in soils and that additional research is needed to determine the mechanisms responsible for these differences.
(3) In contrast, the tillage treatment, alone or in combination with the Agri-Strep or Kocide treatments, had a short-term stimulatory effect and increased populations of applied bacteria and also levels of indigenous fungi and bacteria.
(4) Soil samples were taken in 1 foot increments to a depth of 5 feet to ascertain the accumulation and distribution of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) in the soil profile as influenced by tillage.
(5) The two cultivated sites have been eroded by aeolian processes and tillage practices.
(6) The burn and burn-tillage treatments produced the most significant reductions in bacterial populations.
(7) Evaluations of the effectiveness of diapause egg control or the elimination of early spring broods to provide lasting, season-long suppression were not encouraging if only conventional methods such as insecticides or tillage were used.
(8) Such techniques already exist, from terracing to prevent soil loss through erosion and flooding, minimum or zero tillage, coupled with crop rotation and the application of manure, compost or mulching.
(9) Deeper tillage of the soil generally decreased C-content.
(10) Nitrate-N accumulation in the 0 to 3 foot profile in late July was reduced by 75% (no tillage) to 38% (chisel plow) compared with the conventional moldboard tillage system in this 8-year-old study.
(11) Conservation tillage systems facilitate the infiltration of greater amounts of precipitation into the soil profile by reducing surface runoff.
(12) Dynamic processes in the model include foliar interception, weathering and absorption; plant growth, uptake, harvest and senescence; soil resuspension, percolation, leaching and tillage; radioactive decay; and livestock ingestion, absorption and excretion.
(13) "Fall tillage can also reduce weed numbers, but it is generally not as effective as residual herbicides.
(14) Field plots of bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), sprayed with the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas fluorescens, or Erwinia herbicola, received the following treatments: (i) control, (ii) tillage, (iii) burning, (iv) burning plus tillage (burn-tillage), (v) Kocide (cupric hydroxide), (vi) Kocide plus tillage, (vii) Agri-Strep (streptomycin sulfate), and (viii) Agri-Strep plus tillage.
