Autochthonous


Definition:

  • (a.) Aboriginal; indigenous; native.

Null


Definition:

  • (a.) Of no legal or binding force or validity; of no efficacy; invalid; void; nugatory; useless.
  • (n.) Something that has no force or meaning.
  • (n.) That which has no value; a cipher; zero.
  • (v. t.) To annul.
  • (n.) One of the beads in nulled work.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Measurements of acetylcholine-induced single-channel conductance and null potentials at the amphibian motor end-plate in solutions containing Na, K, Li and Cs ions (Gage & Van Helden, 1979; J. Physiol.
  • (2) DR(+) cells, however, showed no change in percentage and a lesser drop in absolute numbers, suggesting an increase with advancing disease of DR(+), Ig(-) null cells, which may represent immature B cell precursors.
  • (3) In this report we describe an improvement upon the design by Stanton and Lightfoot for a simple photographic null method to determine the kVp of a diagnostic region x-ray source.
  • (4) At least two (Rh null and the McLeod type) are responsible for congenital hemolytic disorders.
  • (5) (2) Sequences of brightness steps of like polarity (either increments or decrements) elicit positive and negative motion-dependent response components when mimicking motion in the cell's preferred and null direction, respectively.
  • (6) The analysis also involved statistical tests of a modified null hypothesis, the generation of confidence intervals (CIs) and a meta-analysis.

  • (10) In thymo-deprived mice (nude mice and B mice) the percentage of null cells increases during the stage of regeneration, and B mice develop a large number of Ig +-bearing cells.
