What's the difference between bracer and vibration?

Bracer


Definition:

  • (n.) That which braces, binds, or makes firm; a band or bandage.
  • (n.) A covering to protect the arm of the bowman from the vibration of the string; also, a brassart.
  • (n.) A medicine, as an astringent or a tonic, which gives tension or tone to any part of the body.

Example Sentences:

Vibration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of vibrating, or the state of being vibrated, or in vibratory motion; quick motion to and fro; oscillation, as of a pendulum or musical string.
  • (n.) A limited reciprocating motion of a particle of an elastic body or medium in alternately opposite directions from its position of equilibrium, when that equilibrium has been disturbed, as when a stretched cord or other body produces musical notes, or particles of air transmit sounds to the ear. The path of the particle may be in a straight line, in a circular arc, or in any curve whatever.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) is a dissecting system that removes tissue by vibration, irrigation and suction; fluid and particulate matter from tumors are aspirated and subsquently deposited in a canister.
  • (2) In order to control noise- and vibration-caused diseases it was necessary not only to improve machines' quality and service conditions but also to pay special attention to the choice of operators and to the quality of monitoring their adaptation process.
  • (3) The intensity changes seen for alpha-fucose were found to follow a reversible first-order rate-equation and the rate constants obtained from different vibrational bands were found to be consistent among themselves and in reasonable agreement with those obtained by other techniques.
  • (4) Amplitude of the musical vibrations decreased by inhalation of amyl nitrite, but increased by infusion of methoxamine.
  • (5) The response of isolated muscle tissue of white rats to low-frequency vibration has been studied.
  • (6) The "random coil" conformational problem is examined by comparison of vibrational CD (VCD) spectra of various polypeptide model systems with that of proline oligomers [(Pro)n] and poly(L-proline).
  • (7) Headache and vertigo were not linked with exposure to vibration in forestry and a significant part of the numbness reported may be due to the carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • (8) Additionally, by ultrasonic vibration of tissues that had been subjected to prolonged osmium fixation, the epithelium was removed and such microdissected membranes similarly were examined.
  • (9) The ability of a mathematical model to evaluate the effects of two different pain modulating procedures (partial nerve block and vibration) on acute experimental pulpal pain was studied.
  • (10) The only likely cause for the pathological vascular findings in our patient was an exposure to vibration due to excessive off-street motorcycle driving.
  • (11) Time-resolved infrared spectroscopy with 0.5-ps resolution is used to track the evolution of the CO stretching vibration after visible photoexcitation of carboxyhemoglobin in water at room temperature.
  • (12) Biodynamic stressors such as acceleration, vibration, heat, and cold can affect pilot performance.
  • (13) There have been shown many changes, which took place in the various anatomic-physiological formations of the brain, and evaluated their significance in organism's responses to the effects of ionizing and nonionizing radiation, hyperoxia, hypoxia, accelerations, vibrations and combined effects of some of those factors.
  • (14) Tetrapolar rheovasography was used to medically examine 54 riveters, of equal age and duration of work, who were exposed to the complex action of low-intensity vibration and noise.
  • (15) A vibration-rotation-tunneling band of the perdeuterated cluster has been measured near 89.6 wave numbers by tunable far infrared laser absorption spectroscopy.
  • (16) Vibratory sensitivity was strongly related to height when measurements were made with either the vibration sensitivity tester (P = .02) or the biothesiometer (P less than .01); however, there was no relation between thermal sensitivity (as measured with the thermal sensitivity tester) and height.
  • (17) Our experiments with monkeys gave typical resonance curves for the transmission of vibration of the bulbi with maxima between 25 and 31.5 Hz.
  • (18) Altering the frequency of vibration did not alter the distribution of tremor frequencies.
  • (19) Superficial cutaneous stimulation of the dorsal side of the forearm during tendon vibration noticeably decreased the P1 peaks in both types of motor units.
  • (20) A survey is given of the literature on the sensitivity of the vestibular system to audio-frequency sound and vibration in animals.
