What's the difference between computer and shebang?

Computer


Definition:

  • (n.) One who computes.

Example Sentences:

  • (7) Core biopsy with computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound (US) guidance may be such an alternative, particularly when a spring-loaded firing device is used.
  • (8) By means of computed tomography (CT) values related to bone density and mass were assessed in the femoral head, neck, trochanter, shaft, and condyles.
  • (9) We present a mathematical model that is suitable to reconcile this apparent contradiction in the interpretation of the epidemiological data: the observed parallel time series for the spread of AIDS in groups with different risk of infection can be realized by computer simulation, if one assumes that the outbreak of full-blown AIDS only occurs if HIV and a certain infectious coagent (cofactor) CO are present.
  • (10) Excellent correlations were observed between computer and manual methods for both systems.
  • (11) The programs are written in Fortran and are implemented on a Rank Xerox Sigma 6 computer.

  • (14) The method is implemented with a digital non-causal (zero-phase shift) filter, based on the convolution with a finite impulse response, to make the computation time compatible with the use of low-cost microcomputers.
  • (15) Odds ratios were computed by multiple logistic regression analysis and revealed no additional relationships; however, there were suggested dose-response gradients for height, weight at age 20, and body surface area in the Japanese women and for breast size in the Caucasian women.
  • (16) DATA Modern football data analysis has its origins in a video-based system that used computer vision algorithms to automatically track players.
  • (17) The computer tomographic appearances of lesions of parenchymatous organs following blunt abdominal trauma are described in 13 patients (five liver, four renal, two splenic and two pancreatic injuries).
  • (18) 3 patients had complete disappearance of the symptoms but did not have a computed tomography scanning control, 3 patients had clinical and CT recovery.
  • (19) Second, is it possible - by combining the two technologies of endoscopy and computers - to provide an individual patient with a short-term prognostic prediction sufficiently accurate to affect patient management.
  • (20) Computed tomography does not allow differentiation between these lesions and surrounding normal tissues.

Shebang

Example Sentences:
