What's the difference between consist and consistent?

Consist


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To stand firm; to be in a fixed or permanent state, as a body composed of parts in union or connection; to hold together; to be; to exist; to subsist; to be supported and maintained.
  • (v. i.) To be composed or made up; -- followed by of.
  • (v. i.) To have as its substance or character, or as its foundation; to be; -- followed by in.
  • (v. i.) To be consistent or harmonious; to be in accordance; -- formerly used absolutely, now followed by with.
  • (v. i.) To insist; -- followed by on.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The findings are more consistent with those in studies of panic disorder.
  • (2) We have determined the genomic structure of the fosB gene and shown that it consists of 4 exons and 3 introns at positions also found in the c-fos gene.
  • (3) No consistent relationship could be found between the time interval from SAH to operation and the severity of vasospasm.
  • (4) The NORPLANT-2 rod system on the other hand consists of only 2 rods.
  • (5) These four antigens consisted of S of MNSs blood group, Lua of Lutheran blood group, and K and Kpa of Kell-Cellano blood group.
  • (6) Neither the plasma prolactin level nor urinary excretion of aldosterone and ADHshowed any consistent change throughout the dive.
  • (7) Taken together these results are consistent with the view that primary CTL, as well as long term cloned CTL cell lines, exercise their cytolytic activity by means of perforin.
  • (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.
  • (10) Mapping of the cross-link position between U2 and U6 RNAs is consistent with base-pairing between the 5' domain of U2 and the 3' end of U6 RNA.
  • (11) The disassembly of the synthetase complex is consistent with the structural model of a heterotypic multienzyme complex and suggests that the complex formation is due to the specific intermolecular interactions among the synthetases.
  • (12) Projection obliquity resulted in consistent underestimation of DPR angle.
  • (13) Control incubations revealed an inherent difference between the two substrates; gram-positive supernatants consistently contained 5% radioactivity, whereas even at 0 h, those from the gram-negative mutant released 22%.
  • (14) Aside from these characteristic findings of HCC, it was important to reveal the following features for the diagnosis of well differentiated type of small HCC: variable thickening or distortion of trabecular structure in association with nuclear crowding, acinar formation, selective cytoplasmic accumulation of Mallory bodies, nuclear abnormalities consisting of thickening of nucleolus, hepatic cords in close contact with bile ducts or blood vessels, and hepatocytes growing in a fibrous environment.
  • (15) LH and FSH levels in the group which were given low dose progesterone only, rose consistently after BSO and these patterns were similar to those seen in the control group.
  • (16) The estimated DNA compaction ratio (approximately 3-fold) is consistent with a significant degree of nucleosome unfolding in the hyperstimulated BR genes.
  • (17) The results are consistent with our previous suggestion that lethality for virulent SFV infection results from a lethal threshold of damage to neurons in the CNS and that attenuating mutations may reduce neuronal damage below this threshold level.
  • (18) Changes in renal renin levels after the administration of glycerol were not significant, although lower renal renin values were consistently found in rabbits with more severe impairment of renal function.
  • (19) We conclude that the rat somatosympathetic reflex consists of an early excitatory component due to the early activation of RVL-spinal sympathoexcitatory neurons with rapidly conducting axons and a later peak that may arise from the late activation of these same neurons as well as the early activation of RVL vasomotor neurons with more slowly conducting spinal axons.
  • (20) The in vivo approach consisted of interspecies grafting between quail and chick embryos.

Consistent


Definition:

  • (a.) Possessing firmness or fixedness; firm; hard; solid.
  • (a.) Having agreement with itself or with something else; having harmony among its parts; possesing unity; accordant; harmonious; congruous; compatible; uniform; not contradictory.
  • (a.) Living or acting in conformity with one's belief or professions.
