What's the difference between calcine and calycine?
Calcine
Definition:
(v. i.) To reduce to a powder, or to a friable state, by the action of heat; to expel volatile matter from by means of heat, as carbonic acid from limestone, and thus (usually) to produce disintegration; as to, calcine bones.
(v. i.) To oxidize, as a metal by the action of heat; to reduce to a metallic calx.
(v. i.) To be converted into a powder or friable substance, or into a calx, by the action of heat.
Example Sentences:

(3) For some metals the analysis can be directly achieved by means of atomisation of the biological liquid in a flame or in a graphite furnace; for other metals it is necessary a treatment of the sample to separate the metal from the rest of the matrix, which can be: calcination, microcalcination, mining.
(4) The results obtained from the ethanol-treated rats were similar to those obtained in experiments on control rats fed on diets not containing calcinated bone meal.
(5) In those working with calcined clay, there was an increased prevalence of abnormality of the FEV1, but not the FVC, when compared to both wet and dry processors and which could not be explained by either cigarette smoking or the presence of pneumoconiosis.
(6) Dehydration conditions similar to those employed in wet calcination of gypsum appeared to be produced under atmospheric pressure when NaCl was present.
(7) He observed that metals gain weight during their calcination (oxidation) and concluded that air is taken up during this process.
(8) The magnitude of abnormality in the calcined clay workers was, however, unlikely to lead to disabling impairment.
(9) The results reveal that arsenic contents in pig native copper are about 10 times of those in the calcination samples.
(10) TCP capsules with an outer diameter of 0.8 cm and an inner diameter of 0.4 cm were prepared by compressing calcined materials in a cylindrical dye at a compression load of 700 Kg.
(11) Administration of vitamin D in a dose of 400 IU and increase of calcium consumption up to 110-120 mg and of phosphorus to 45-57 mg per kg body weight at the expense of calcinated cottage introduction into the diet provide for the optimal levels of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and calcium in the blood of these children.
(12) In Experiment 2, urinary Mg excretion on d 4 and 5 of the collection was lower for sheep fed the brine oxide than for those fed sulfate or oxide from calcined magnesite.
(13) The most toxic material tested was BeSO4, followed by BeO calcined at 500 degrees C, then BeO calcined at 1000 degrees C. An in vitro dissolution technique was used to measure the relative solubility of the BeO particles.
(14) In CT, diagnosis was based on the detection of a formation with a capsule containing calcinates and air masses.
(15) Bodies found in acts of war or natural disasters are sometimes impossible to identify for police or legal purposes, notably because of calcination or putrefaction.
(16) Therefore, calcining the two radionuclides together in an aerosol altered the kinetics of both following inhalation in rats, but most dramatically for 244Cm.
(17) Hereby the tissue calcination will be defined from the real ossifications and the direct exogene shades.
(18) Fetuses were fully calcinated and ash weight and calcium content determined.
(19) Although each study suffers from some deficiencies, as is common in such retrospective studies, the findings in concert strongly indicate that nickel emitted from the calcining and sintering operations is a potent carcinogen resulting in nasal and pulmonary cancers.
(20) The present paper reports the determination of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and As in complex prescription decoctions of ochre and calcined ochre by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
Calycine
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to a calyx; having the nature of a calyx.
Example Sentences:
(1) Differences between calycine units and the type I hair cell of mammals are discussed, and evidence that suggests an equilibratory function for the lacertilian papilla neglecta is presented.
(2) The neuroepithelium contains two populations of sensory cells within a matrix of sustentacular cells; one population (non-calyceal hair cells) is supplied primarily by boutons and clublike terminals, while the other (calyceal hair cells) is served by calycine terminals that invest from one to five sensory cells.
(3) In 1978 we described 18 patients with acute spontaneous rupture of a pelvi-calycine system; these have now been followed up with the exception of four patients.
(4) The process manifested clinically by steady hypofunction of osmotic diuresis in the absence of bacterial inflammation and calycine-pelvic destruction.
(5) We conclude that because of a significant loss of calycine synaptic endings, the structure of calyces of Held becomes less complex with advancing age in rats.
(6) The results also demonstrate, however, that formation of persistent and functional synapses with NM neurons throughout development is not sufficient to induce any axon to assume the calycine form of a cochlear nerve endbulb.
(7) In the light microscope, aberrant axon terminals labeled in vitro with HRP appear to form boutons quite unlike the large calycine endbulbs made by the normal cochlear nerve (CN) endings in NM.
(8) This includes the loss of calycine axosomatic terminals synapsing with MTB principal cells.
