What's the difference between commensurate and commensuration?
Commensurate
Definition:
(v. t.) To reduce to a common measure.
(v. t.) To proportionate; to adjust.
(a.) Having a common measure; commensurable; reducible to a common measure; as, commensurate quantities.
(a.) Equal in measure or extent; proportionate.
Example Sentences:
(1) A commensurate rise in both smoking and adenocarcinoma has occurred in the Far East where the incidence rate (40%) is twice that of North America or Europe.
(2) Human urine or male mouse plasma could substitute for purified EGF, yielding growth commensurate with the levels of EGF in these biological fluids previously measured by others using radioreceptor and radioimmune assays.
(3) The use of a reasonably sensitive and specific case definition commensurate with available diagnostic resources should facilitate AIDS surveillance in developing countries.
(4) The average mitochondrial volume is increased fourfold in the peripheral and midzonal regions with a commensurate decrease in the number of mitochondria per cell.
(5) Poor readers did not resemble younger children in their awareness of variables that affect memory but exhibited knowledge commensurate with that of good readers in the same grade.
(6) The specific activity of BLM hydrolase was 70% higher in the resistant subline, commensurate with a 50% increase in protein content in these cells.
(7) In all groups, plasma NE, CDI, and NE pressor dose were reduced in parallel (by 35 to 75%; P less than 0.05 to less than 0.001), and the relation between stepwise increasing plasma NE and BP changes during NE infusion was commensurably displaced to the left (P less than 0.01).
(8) Public transport costs have risen commensurately with fuel prices, while traders are preparing for price hikes across the board.
(9) The PTPases identified exhibit high affinities for substrates and high activities in cells, which is commensurate with the PTPases being important in vivo in controlling or reversing autophosphorylation-induced regulatory or signalling events.
(10) The left ventricular weight to systolic blood pressure ratio was equivalent in all three groups, so that the reduction of left ventricular mass in diltiazem-treated rats was commensurate with the reduction of blood pressure.
(11) The net alanine formation in ischemia was approximately a stoichiometric glutamate decrease; the increase in the tissue malate content corresponded to the aspartate----oxaloacetate----malate anaplerotic flux, the succinate production being commensurable to alpha-ketoglutaric acid formation in the alanine aminotransferase reaction.
(12) Meanwhile, new recruits to the workforce were told they had to get a degree – and a shedload of debt – to get ahead, only to come out and find there weren't the commensurate jobs for them.
(13) The probable role of the precentral and postcentral insular areas and their related paths to the contraction of the muscles (sometimes called the agonists) on the side of an extremity in the direction of movement of that extremity and the commensurate relaxation of the muscles (sometimes called the antagonists) cooperating with them on the other side of the extremity is discussed.
(14) The report acknowledges these communities' concerns about a midwifery project, notes problems in determining accurate perinatal data for these locales, and indicates the need for comprehensive maternal-child care which is commensurate with these peoples' customs and beliefs.
(15) The P100 latency in both CBVEP and GVEP was prolonged before L-dopa therapy, usually commensurate with the degree of motor disability.
(16) After a 72-h preincubation, IGF-I cell binding remained increased 2-fold with commensurate enhancement of IGF-I-stimulated [3H]AIB uptake.
(17) Gel filtration of pairs of PS and LS from four individuals revealed IgM, IgA, and IgG to elute in positions commensurate with pentameric IgM, secretory IgA, and monomeric IgG.
(18) Statistical analysis with the use of several statistical techniques for between- and within-drug group comparisons revealed that pimozide and fluphenazine were equally effective in maintaining control of symptomatology of chronic schizophrenics at a level commensurate with or better than that provided by their previous medication.
(19) The presence of branching with or without a commensurate increase in the polarity of the 5(6)-substituent adjacent to the benzimidazole ring (alpha-position) resulted in a loss of activity.
(20) Drug prescriptions per capita in the United States have more than doubled since 1950 without a commensurate improvement in health.
