What's the difference between astral and influent?
Astral
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, coming from, or resembling, the stars; starry; starlike.
Example Sentences:

(10) Disruption of either the astral microtubules or actin function resulted in improper spindle orientation in approximately 40-50% of the cells.
(11) Both polarization and electron microscopy showed a substantial loss of non-kinetochore spindle microtubules with an increase in astral microtubules: this was particularly evident in the region adjacent to the spindle domain.
(12) Astral and kinetochore MTs were sensitive to MT disassembly conditions, and shortening of kinetochore MTs always accompanied reactivation of anaphase A. Interphase and interzonal spindle MTs were relatively stable to cold and calcium until extraction of cells was promoted by longer periods in the PM, or by higher concentrations of detergent.
(13) In sections of dividing sea urchin eggs detailed images of spindle and astral fibers were revealed.
(14) Five Leaves Left is one of those albums that seem tied to exhorting and then playing on a particular mood in the listener – like Astral Weeks and Forever Changes certainly and arguably stationed on that particular echelon of creativity (though I wouldn’t personally like to enter into that particular argument).
(15) Tilda Swinton was recently reported to be in talks to play the Ancient One, a mystical Tibetan mentor to Strange whose traditional powers include astral projection, teleportation and the ability to create energy blasts.
(16) In the case of nocodazole and colcemid, non-kinetochore astral microtubules were depleted first and the kinetochore-to-pole distance shortened.

(18) This is the first report of intra-astral motility of organelles in a fungus, and it lays the foundation for additional studies of aster function in vivo.
(19) Beads appeared to move along astral fibers, were generally excluded from the spindle proper, and accumulated at the spindle poles.
(20) The astral shape becomes more pronounced during mitosis, after which the cytasters regress, but retain the mature centrioles.
Influent
Definition:
(a.) Flowing in.
(a.) Exerting influence; influential.
Example Sentences:
(1) In isolated perfused rat liver, benzoate addition to the influent perfusate led to a dose-dependent, rapid and reversible stimulation of glutamate output from the liver.
(2) This results in an increasing oxygen difference between DO contents in the biofilter influent and effluent.
(3) Inhibition was half-maximal at sulfobromophthalein concentrations of approximately 1.2 mumol.l-1 in the influent perfusate and leukotriene uptake was inhibited by maximally 34%.
(4) In isolated perfused rat liver maximal rates of 2-[1-14C]oxoglutarate uptake were about 0.4 mumol.g-1 .min-1; half-maximal rates of 2-[14C]oxoglutarate uptake were observed with influent concentrations of about 100 microM.
(5) Because decreasing the pH of the influent perfusate increased carbon uptake, the pH gradient over the liver lobule may be involved in the regulation of particle uptake at the sublobular level.
(6) Membrane filtration techniques were used to enumerate Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) organisms and Escherichia coli in a variety of natural waters, the influents and effluents from three types of sewage treatment plants and faeces of various animals.
(7) Subsequent dosing of NTA to vessels of higher salinity demonstrated that biodegradation was incomplete at observed mean salinities of greater than 9.18% at low influent NTA concentrations and greater than 5.08% at high influent NTA concentrations.
(8) In the case of influent of biological treatment plant and river waters, 0-39 percent of NOD was contained in BOD.
(9) Oxidation ponds must be reevaluated with regard to temporal matching of influent and effluent samples and with special care to prevent short-circuiting.
(10) At a near-physiological influent glutamate concentration (0.1 mM), the rates of unidirectional glutamate influx and efflux were similar (about 100 and 120 nmol g-1 min-1, respectively).
(11) A simple model was developed to relate fluoride sorption as a function of 'time' to maximum bone char capacity, flow rate and influent concentration.
(12) The test is applied to a data set of routine influent coliform samples at the Chicago water supply intake.
(13) Steady-state taurocholate excretion into bile was not affected when the influent K+ concentration was increased from 6 to 46 mM or decreased to 1 mM with iso-osmoticity being maintained by corresponding changes in the influent Na+ concentration.
(14) When two livers were perfused antegradely in series, such that the perfusate leaving the first liver (liver I) entered a second liver (liver II), infusion of U-46619 at concentrations below 200 nM to the influent perfusate of liver I increased the portal pressure of liver I, but not of liver II.
(15) Concentrations of animal viruses, coliphages, and bacteria detected in the raw influent decreased as the wastewater was aerated and stored in the lagoons.
