What's the difference between cenozoic and position?

Cenozoic


Definition:

  • (a.) Belonging to the most recent division of geological time, including the tertiary, or Age of mammals, and the Quaternary, or Age of man. [Written also caenozoic, cainozoic, kainozoic.] See Geology.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Concentrations of small fossil mammals are frequently encountered in Cenozoic deposits, but the causes for such accumulations have seldom been determined.
  • (2) This discovery nearly doubles the stratigraphic range of therapsids and furnishes their first record from the Cenozoic.
  • (3) In general, the small subunit nuclear sequences appear to be best for elucidating Precambrian divergences, the large subunit nuclear sequences for Paleozoic and Mesozoic divergences, and the organellar sequences of both subunits for Cenozoic divergences.
  • (4) Of the suborders present in the Paleozoic, seven are morphologically relatively simple, slowly evolving, and continued into Mesozoic and Cenozoic times to become the ancestoral lineages from which evolved several additional post-Paleozoic suborders.
  • (5) Hidden beneath the rolling red landscape is one of the world’s richest fossil deposits from the Cenozoic era, also know as the Age of Mammals.
  • (6) Smelt and sea raven belong to taxonomic orders believed to have diverged prior to Cenozoic glaciation.
  • (7) All groups studied show some slowdown in rates of molecular change over Cenozoic time.
  • (8) The break from constant or increasing rates during the Mesozoic to decreasing rates during the Cenozoic appears to coincide with extraordinary diversification of placental mammals at the beginning of this era.
  • (9) Cenozoic climatic oscillations leading to increasing seasonality may have been the triggering element in this model, because seasonality creates periods in which the availability of fruit is relatively predictable.
  • (10) The AFP gene locus may have evolved by gene amplification as recently as 10(6) years ago in response to the onset of the Cenozoic ice age.

Position


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To indicate the position of; to place.
  • (n.) The state of being posited, or placed; the manner in which anything is placed; attitude; condition; as, a firm, an inclined, or an upright position.
  • (n.) The spot where a person or thing is placed or takes a place; site; place; station; situation; as, the position of man in creation; the fleet changed its position.
  • (n.) Hence: The ground which any one takes in an argument or controversy; the point of view from which any one proceeds to a discussion; also, a principle laid down as the basis of reasoning; a proposition; a thesis; as, to define one's position; to appear in a false position.
  • (n.) Relative place or standing; social or official rank; as, a person of position; hence, office; post; as, to lose one's position.
  • (n.) A method of solving a problem by one or two suppositions; -- called also the rule of trial and error.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The bank tellers who saw their positions filled by male superiors took special pleasure in going to the bank and keeping them busy.
  • (2) In each sheep there was a significant negative correlation between the glucose and corticosteroid concentrations in both maternal and fetal plasma, and there were positive correlations between the maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of glucose, and between the glucose and fructose concentrations of fetal plasma.
  • (3) None of the strains was found to be positive for cytotoxic enterotoxin in the GM1-ELISA.
  • (4) The patterns observed were: clusters of granules related to the cell membrane; positive staining localized to portions of the cell membrane, and, less commonly, the whole cell circumference.
  • (5) In 49 cases undergoing systemic lymphadenectomy 32 were found to have glandular involvement, of which both aortic and pelvic nodes were positive in 17 cases (53.1%), aortic nodes positive but pelvic negative in six (18.8%), and pelvic nodes positive but aortic negative in nine (28.1%).
  • (6) The Na+ ionophore, gramicidin, had a small but significant inhibitory effect on Na(+)-dependent KG uptake, demonstrating that KG uptake was not the result of an intravesicular positive Na+ diffusion potential.
  • (7) Fecal occult blood was positive in 4 patients and fecal leukocytes were positive in one patient.
  • (8) We have determined the genomic structure of the fosB gene and shown that it consists of 4 exons and 3 introns at positions also found in the c-fos gene.
  • (9) An unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph of Escherichia coli was grown with a series of cis-octadecenoate isomers in which the location of the double bond varied from positions 3 to 17.
  • (10) It is concluded that amlodipine reduces myocardial ischemic injury by mechanism(s) that may involve a reduction in myocardial oxygen demand as well as by positively influencing transmembrane Ca2+ fluxes during ischemia and reperfusion.
