What's the difference between assume and assumed?

Assume


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To take to or upon one's self; to take formally and demonstratively; sometimes, to appropriate or take unjustly.
  • (v. t.) To take for granted, or without proof; to suppose as a fact; to suppose or take arbitrarily or tentatively.
  • (v. t.) To pretend to possess; to take in appearance.
  • (v. t.) To receive or adopt.
  • (v. i.) To be arrogant or pretentious; to claim more than is due.
  • (v. i.) To undertake, as by a promise.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) First results let us assume that clinically silent TIAs also (in analogy to clinically silent brain infarctions) could be detected and located.
  • (2) Because of the dearth of epidemiological clues as to causation, studies with experimental animal models assume greater importance.
  • (3) For the case described by the author primary tearing of the chiasma due to sudden applanation of the skull in the frontal region with burstfractures in the anterior cranial fossa is assumed.
  • (4) 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.
  • (5) We assumed that the sensory messages received at a given level are transformed by a stochastic process, called Alopex, in a way which maximizes responses in central feature analyzers.
  • (6) The myocardium was assumed to be composed of a nonlinear viscoelastic, inhomogeneous, anisotropic (transversely isotropic) and incompressible material operating under adiabatic and isothermal conditions.
  • (7) Anything not eligible is simply ignored or assumed to be someone else’s responsibility.
  • (8) Assuming 1 kg LBM to contain 52.1 mmol potassium, the mean LBM was 3028 g in the I-NSM and 2739 in the I-SM; mean fat mass was similar in both groups.
  • (9) Utilizing a range of operative Michaelis-Menten parameters that characterize phenytoin elimination via a single capacity-limited pathway, a situation assuming instantaneous absorption (case I) is compared with the situation in which continuous constant-rate absorption occurs (case II).
  • (10) It is commonly assumed that the visual resolution limit must be equal to or less than the Nyquist frequency of the cone mosaic.
  • (11) Since all human cadaveric tissue is fixed whilst on the skeleton, we may assume that shrinkage of the muscles in such specimens is negligible.
  • (12) During the carcinogens metabolism compounds are assumed to be formed, those are able to affect oxidative phosphorylation without forming any stable link with the respiratory chain components.
  • (13) It is assumed that the mild analgesia produced by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and indomethacin is due to a common mode of action, namely inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase reaction in the synthesis of prostaglandins.
  • (14) The periodic pattern was assumed as subclinical focal seizure discharges from the right anterior temporal deep structures.
  • (15) In doing so they are often supported by their parents who as well assume an ambivalent attitude towards therapy.
  • (16) We assume that the fragments have been assembled and address the problem of determining the degree to which the reconstructed sequence is free from errors, i.e., its accuracy.
  • (17) From the location and the timing, it is assumed that the antigen recognized by III15B8 functions in chromosome pairing at meiotic prophase.
  • (18) The immune genesis of the TINU syndrome is assumed.
  • (19) It is assumed that daily exposure averages of a worker are lognormally and independently distributed statistically.
  • (20) The bell-shaped dose-response curves observed after irradiation with either X rays or neutrons are explained by assuming simultaneous initial transforming events and cell inactivation with the data for cell inactivation at higher doses being in agreement with data reported for other strains of mice.

Assumed


Definition:

  • (imp. & p. p.) of Assume
  • (a.) Supposed.
  • (a.) Pretended; hypocritical; make-believe; as, an assumed character.
