What's the difference between conjectural and hypothetical?

Conjectural


Definition:

  • (a.) Dependent on conjecture; fancied; imagined; guessed at; undetermined; doubtful.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The phenomenon is conjectured to be caused by the ear's nonlinear compressive transfer characteristic or by a temporal analysis of the stimulus.

  • (3) Now that we know the practice is widespread among physicians in training, we can conjecture that the demand for improper reporting of diagnostic data by sonographers is likely widespread among physicians in practice also.

  • (5) However, the mechanism by which this tolerance develops is currently a matter of conjecture.
  • (6) A quote from Peter Greste originally stated: "… we have spent three months in prison based on substantiated allegations and conjecture …".
  • (7) This conjecture was, however, not supported by analyses that considered the positive control compound and a pure chemical as possible reference assays.
  • (8) We consider two mechanisms to obviate the diffusion limitation problem, and conjecture that at high substrate concentration, H(2)CO(3) reaches the active site by collision with the enzyme molecule, and subsequent surface diffusion to the active site.
  • (9) It is conjectured that these behavioral qualities may be universal for emotionally healthy individuals and that future research with larger samples may bear this out.
  • (10) Such specific binding of parasite proteins to immobilised Band-3 supports recent conjecture as to its role as a host receptor during parasite invasion.
  • (11) I examine the conjecture that the signal for this regulation is the ratio of uncharged tRNA to aminoacyl-tRNA, that this signal controls the concentration of guanosine tetraphosphate, and that the concentration of guanosine tetraphosphate controls transcription of rrn genes.
  • (12) However, the idiotype expression was not simply related to total immunoglobulin levels and the controlling mechanisms of idiotype expression on different isotypes remain a matter of conjecture.
  • (13) If the positions of the principal points of the crystalline lens are conjectured, its equivalent power and that of the eye can be calculated as described from ocular dioptrics.
  • (14) It’s irresponsible and unscientific to make conjectural, trumped-up allegations without deep investigation.” “The FBI is conducting an investigation to identify how and why this occurred,” the department of homeland security said in a statement on Thursday.
  • (15) There has been much recent conjecture over the apparent source location of the visually evoked potential, particularly in considering the lateralization found in halffield pattern reversal stimulation.
  • (16) Alternative explanations for its effectiveness remain conjectural.
  • (17) Since, in equal concentrations, menthol specifically impairs neuronal calcium currents, the results are consistent with the conjecture that in cold receptors, menthol reduces the activation of a calcium-stimulated outward current by an impeding effect on a calcium conductance, thereby inducing depolarization and a modification of bursting behavior.
  • (18) We conjecture that the efficacy of radioimmunoconjugates against responsive cell types may be the result of passive DNA damage by ionizing radiation and the initiation of apoptosis in response to radioimmunotherapy.
  • (19) But the fact that the ability to create new explanations is the unique, morally and intellectually significant functionality of "people" (humans and AGIs), and that they achieve this functionality by conjecture and criticism, changes everything.
  • (20) Since nafenopin pretreatment stimulates the synthesis of new liver tissue, it is presently a matter of conjecture as to whether or not the newly formed hepatocytes have the capacity to take up and excrete BP and its metabolites or whether nafenopin inhibits transport in all liver tissue.

Hypothetical


Definition:

  • (a.) Characterized by, or of the nature of, an hypothesis; conditional; assumed without proof, for the purpose of reasoning and deducing proof, or of accounting for some fact or phenomenon.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The pathomechanism, how C. pylori facilitates the development of peptic ulcer is since hypothetical.
  • (2) The model is based on the concept that a cell with hypothetically unlimited replicative potential--i.e.
  • (3) Blight responded with a hypothetical, telling Ludlam if the ASD asked a foreign agency to get material about Australian citizens it could not access under Australian law, the IGIS would know about it and flag it in its annual report.
  • (4) The possible roles of the sorbitol pathway and of hypothetical regulatory sites for the glucose molecule ("receptors") are briefly discussed.
  • (5) By analysis of the three sequences we were able to delineate a hypothetic model for region X domain evolution and discussed the origin of genetic variability within and without strains.
  • (6) For now, it is a hypothetical danger and England cannot be doing too badly if the worst controversy about Hodgson's squad is who goes as reserve left-back.
  • (7) On the basis of these data, a hypothetical molecular mechanism of vestibular efferent modulation of the primary afferent pathway is proposed.
  • (8) A hypothetical scheme is presented that pursues the processes involved in invasion from the biochemical events generated by attachment of the parasite, to the steric rearrangement of red cell membrane proteins, which culminates in invasion.
  • (9) Samples taken by Monte Carlo means from a hypothetical in vitro population were compared with clonal survival data obtained experimentally.
  • (10) A hypothetical model is proposed in which prevention of ulcer formation or accelerated healing of ulcers by conventional therapies may be FGF dependent.
  • (11) In Experiment 1, subjects exposed to a sound representing their heartbeat made greater self-attributions for hypothetical outcomes than did subjects exposed to the same sound identified as an extraneous noise.
  • (12) The hypothetical pattern is regenerative and shows how epithelial cell patterns where cells divide might arise.
  • (13) First-year student nurses attributed less pain to the hypothetical patient than third- and fourth-year student nurses and registered nurses.
  • (14) Problems which have arisen and considerations on the hypothetic future interventions are considered.

  • (16) A hypothetical view of the relationship between these cell types is presented.
  • (17) In assessing the autoradiographs, two methods were compared, the circle analysis and the recently described hypothetical grain analysis.
