What's the difference between converge and convergent?

Converge


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To tend to one point; to incline and approach nearer together; as, lines converge.
  • (v. t.) To cause to tend to one point; to cause to incline and approach nearer together.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The ophthalmic headache's crisis is caused, in fact, by a spasm of convergence on an unknown exophory of which the amplitude of fusion is satisfying, and the presence of which can only be seen with test under screen.
  • (2) Since only a few of these medium sized terminals in any one cluster degenerate after tectal lesions, and none degenerate after cortical lesions, it is suggested that the morphological arrangement of these clusters may permit the convergence of axons from several sources, some of which are unidentified, onto the same dendritic segment.
  • (3) Eye movements of convergence and divergence were recorded by a limbus tracker.
  • (4) The silver impregnated axons of these cells converge to a paired centrosuperficial tract forming terminal enlargements at the ventrolateral surface of the spinal cord.
  • (5) The aim was to find out to what extent information from homonymous muscles of the forelimbs converge on the same CBM neurons and whether the probability of such a convergence depends on location (axial, proximal, distal) or function (flexor, extensor) of the tested muscles.
  • (6) However, only a small fraction of the neurons (2 of 13 tested) which received such convergent inputs could be antidromically driven from the upper thoracic spinal cord.
  • (7) This modification improves the convergence properties of the network and is used to control a switch which activates the learning or template formation process when the input is "unknown".
  • (8) Regions within the desmosome where the two plasma membranes converged suggested that gap junctions were a component of the desmosome-like junctions.
  • (9) The association constants and the binding capacities of association of small molecules with macromolecules have been determined by the tangent analysis, the graphical analysis, and the computer data analysis, by trial and convergence of the Scatchard plot.
  • (10) After a short review of the literature the reduction of earning capacity on the common labour market in cases of decrease of fusion, convergence and accommodation caused by head injuries is discussed and percentual values are proposed.
  • (11) The developed apparatus included ultrasonic generators operating at a frequency of 0.5-3 MHz, piezoceramic radiators of various design providing the heating of an object with convergent, divergent and plane ultrasonic waves, thermoprobes in the form of single or multiple thermocouples with the bends from 5 points at a 5 mm distance from one another, temperature meters and various auxiliaries.
  • (12) Indeed this procedure is the only one which can act in a fitted manner on muscular spasms responsible of more than 60% of convergent squints.
  • (13) Consistent with the convergence hypothesis, only those sites that specify amino acids in the mature lysozyme are shared uniquely with ruminant lysozyme genes.
  • (14) Prism fixation disparity curves were determined in three different experimental situations: the routine method according to Ogle, a method to stimulate the synkinetic convergence (Experiment I, with one fixation point as sole binocular stimulus) and a method to stimulate the fusion mechanism (Experiment II, with random dot stereograms).
  • (15) Convergent validity between the two non-verbal memory tests, discriminant validity against tests of verbal memory, and criterion-related validity in relation to the influence of different treatment modalities, indicate the tests as valid instruments for measuring non-verbal memory.
  • (16) Because current family systems theory indicates that positive individual relationships within a dyad (e.g., child-mother) should be related to an overall favorable impression of the family system, we hypothesized that these two instruments should demonstrate convergence on selected dimensions.
  • (17) Convergence to similar structures obtained with root-mean-square deviations between resulting structures of 0.37 to 0.92 A for the central hexamer of the octamer.
  • (18) Convergent results from a multimethod assessment of the issue show that methadone maintenance has long-term and short-term suppressive effects on narcotics use and property crime.
  • (19) Several conventional internal fixation techniques and a three converging screw method were used.
  • (20) These neurons showed a high degree of synaptic convergence, also responding synaptically with a high-frequency burst of spikes to stimulation of both visual area 2 and the corpus callosum.

Convergent


Definition:

  • (a.) tending to one point of focus; tending to approach each other; converging.
