What's the difference between circumferential and inferential?
Circumferential
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the circumference; encompassing; encircling; circuitous.
Example Sentences:

(3) The circumferential stress in the vessel wall was greatly increased by diabetes; great errors will result if the opening angle is ignored.

(6) The progressive replacement occurs in a circumferential pattern, but most heavily at the bone-prosthesis interface.
(7) This dual tissue response accomplishes substantial reductions in the circumferential and longitudinal stresses from the levels that would be reached at equivalent pressures in the absence of these geometric changes.
(8) In this system the arteries and veins run parallel to each other throughout the uterus except for the inner circumferential plexus to which veins are predominantly distributed.
(9) We evaluated systolic time intervals (pre-ejection period and ventricular ejection time), M-mode parameters (fractional shortening and mean circumferential shortening) and Doppler flow velocities (mean peak velocity of aortic and pulmonary arteries) of left and right ventricles.
(10) Thus, the circumferential extent of hypokinesis in patients with acute myocardial infarction is greater for proximal than mid- or distal occlusions of the left anterior descending but not the right coronary artery.

(12) The advantage of circumferential resection and some technical aspects are discussed.
(13) Trans-, long- and short-axial images were interpreted quantitatively by circumferential profile analysis, and the extent of fibrotic tissue (%FIB) was estimated by integrating hypoperfused areas in six to eight consecutive short-axial slices.
(14) In addition, multiple simultaneous recordings of the electrical activities from each muscle layer were obtained showing that within the circular muscle layer electrical oscillations were phase locked in the circumferential direction and along the long axis of the colon.
(15) Barium studies revealed the diaphragm as a persistent, circumferential defect in the distal antrum, often associated with peptic ulcers or gastric outlet obstruction.
(16) Similarly, the largest strains are radial to facilitate the formation of a large coaptation area, while the circumferential strains are explained by the extension to the crimped collagen fibres.
(17) Although most filaments were outside the circumferential band of microtubules and the cisternae of the open canalicular system, individual filaments dipped down into the cytoplasm and were found between the microtubules and in association with other membranes.
(18) Intraoperative end-systolic meridional and circumferential stresses fell significantly in patients with aortic stenosis but remained unchanged in those with aortic regurgitation.
(19) Endoscopic laser therapy is concluded to provide rapid, safe and excellent control of local symptoms in most patients with inoperable colorectal carcinoma, to be less useful when the tumour is large and circumferential and not effective in patients with incontinence.
(20) By 15 days, a dense accumulation of blastema cells is present beneath the apical cap, and these cells are preferentially oriented in a circumferential direction.
Inferential
Definition:
(a.) Deduced or deducible by inference.
Example Sentences:
(1) Subtle cognitive deficits in Inferential Reading Comprehension were detected when Reading Vocabulary was at or better than a twelfth grade level.
(2) Three-quarters of the sample was impaired on at least one of four discourse tests (knowing the alternate meanings of ambiguous words in context; getting the point of figurative or metaphoric expressions; bridging the inferential gaps between events in stereotyped social situations; and producing speech acts that express the apparent intentions of others).
(3) Thirty-eight patients with various forms of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) were studied for the loss of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) heterozygosity on chromosome 5q as inferential support for the presence of a growth regulatory locus in this area of the genome.
(4) This is a statistical descriptive and inferential study.
(5) A model is presented for the integration of clinical-inferential and quantitative approaches to classification.
(6) Eight measurements were made, mainly on slices extracted from the middle of the vocalic portions, and inferential and correlational statistics were applied to these measures.
(7) The relationship between individual differences in conjugate lateral eye movements (CLEMs) and inferential reasoning was investigated in two experiments.
(8) The studies were designed to provide inferential insights about the possible role of insulin in embryogenesis during different phases of nutrient delivery.
(9) The seriousness of this problem depends upon the robustness of the phylogenetic inferential procedure to departures from the underlying model.
(10) For inferential analyses directed at therapeutic or preventive effects, analytic models based on site independence are deemed unsatisfactory.
(11) Clear documentation of the one-sided inferential posture of a study in its protocol.
(12) That increase is due primarily to the increase in articles using inferential statistics.
(13) It appears to explain many visual illusions, such as the movement aftereffect and center-surround induced motion, and it may bridge the gap between direct Gibsonian and indirect inferential theories of motion perception.
(14) A proper understanding and use of appropriate sampling techniques is most likely to result in the most desired representative sample, and guarantees that some underlying assumptions for inferential statistics will be satisfied.
(15) The accepted definition of amacrine cells is sufficiently vague to justify our originating a more descriptive and less inferential name for the (axonless) neurons in the inner nuclear layer which radiate processes throughout the inner synaptic layer.
(16) Through a series of experimentally derived inferential steps, we conclude that this phenomenon depends on the removal of protons from the acid receptors.
(17) In conclusion, a great deal of indirect and inferential data point to herpesviruses as having a role in atherogenesis.
(18) Inferential data suggest that environmental factors may be important to genetic penetrance albeit we still lack proof for involvement of often maligned viruses.
(19) Alternatively, for academic studies where publication with an inferential posture is of interest for either potential direction of findings, two-sided methods are typically useful.
(20) Typical inferential statistical procedures, such as the t-test and analysis of variance, compare differences in mean values of variables.
