Consistency


Definition:

  • (n.) The condition of standing or adhering together, or being fixed in union, as the parts of a body; existence; firmness; coherence; solidity.
  • (n.) A degree of firmness, density, or spissitude.
  • (n.) That which stands together as a united whole; a combination.
  • (n.) Firmness of constitution or character; substantiality; durability; persistency.
  • (n.) Agreement or harmony of all parts of a complex thing among themselves, or of the same thing with itself at different times; the harmony of conduct with profession; congruity; correspondence; as, the consistency of laws, regulations, or judicial decisions; consistency of opinions; consistency of conduct or of character.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The findings are more consistent with those in studies of panic disorder.

  • (8) Maximal covalent binding of [4,5-14C]ronidazole to DNA also required four-electron reduction, consistent with previous studies of the covalent binding of this agent to immobilized sulfhydryl groups [Kedderis et al.
  • (9) However, there was no consistent protocol for the method or duration of drug administration.
