What's the difference between cornflower and cyanin?
Cornflower
Definition:
(n.) A conspicuous wild flower (Centaurea Cyanus), growing in grainfields.
Example Sentences:
(1) As late as 2013, he attended party gatherings wearing a blue cornflower on his lapel – a plant popularised as a symbol of the pan-German movement by the Austrian politician Georg Ritter von Schönerer , whom Hannah Arendt described as Adolf Hitler’s “spiritual father”.
(2) One key detail that both Leigh and Thompson get right is the ever-present cornflower blue necktie Ruskin wore, knowing that it highlighted his blue eyes, along with a brown-velvet-collared greatcoat.
(3) If it wasn’t for the votes of 31,000 Austrians – out of a 4.64 million-strong electorate – the country’s figurehead would now be Norbert Hofer , a man who wears the blue cornflower, a symbol associated with the Nazis.
(4) Strache has stated that the cornflower represented “the bourgeois freedom movement of 1848”, a claim that historians dismiss as fictitious.
(5) As Ian prepares for the half-mile-long return journey, he points a fistful of oily cotton waste towards the purple thistle-like flowerheads of knapweed, the pink, white and blue pincushion-shaped flowers of scabious, and the vivid blue of cornflower.
Cyanin
Definition:
(n.) The blue coloring matter of flowers; -- called also anthokyan and anthocyanin.
Example Sentences:
(1) The most successful dyes were phenocyanin TC, gallein, fluorone black, alizarin cyanin BB and alizarin blue S. Celestin blue B with an iron mordant is quite successful if properly handled to prevent gelling of solutions.
(2) The relation of changes in internal, free Ca2+, measured with arsenazo III, to the membrane potential, measured with the cyanine dye di-S-C2(5) or 86Rb+ distribution ratio, was studied in isolated guinea pig cortical nerve endings.
(3) The cyanine dye is suggested to induce uncoupling by acting on the membrane, rather than after its electrophoretic transfer into the mitochondria.
(4) The changes in membrane potential of leukocytes as monitored by cyanine dye were also decreased by DA, chlorpromazine or azelastine.
(5) Cyanine also decreased the dinitrophenol-enhanced efflux of tetraethylammonium (TEA).
(6) We determined the electrical gradient (deltapsi) from the fluorescence of a membrane potential-sensitive cyanine dye, and the chemical H+ gradient (deltaph) from the distribution of a weak acid.
(7) Changes of the membrane potential in striatal synaptoneurosomes induced by glutamate and quisqualate were detected by measuring the absorbance of a potential sensitive cyanine dye.
(8) The fluorescence intensities achieved are higher than those produced by labeling with the cyanine isothiocyanates described previously (Mujumdar et al.
(9) Platonin is one of the photosensitive dyes of trithiazole pentamethine cyanine.
(10) Only methotrexate inhibited hindpaw edema and all variables of macrophage activation (PGE2 and IL-1 production, cyanine dye accumulation) as well as the influx of Ia positive macrophages into synovial tissue.
(11) Three fluorescent dyes (a merocyanin, a cyanin and a modified umbeliferon) have been incorporated into vesicles from three different lecithins.
(12) We have used the cyanine dye fluorescence technique to measure the membrane potential of human erythrocytes as a function of temperature.
(13) New isothiocyanate derivatives of cyanine dyes were synthesized as fluorescent covalent labeling reagents for proteins and other biomolecules.
(14) The accumulation of both drugs was significantly suppressed by incubation at 0 degrees C and also by pretreatment with ouabain or cyanine but not with probenecid.
(15) As our measuring technique was that of Kragstrup, these results could be explained either by a difference in staining methods (Solocromo cyanine R and Goldner method respectively) or by the differences in populations considered (French and Danish respectively).
(16) In method (i), the relative fluorescence of these cyanine dyes in the presence of intact cells or derived vesicles is quenched during oxication of electron donors.
(17) We used lumin (4,4'-(3[2(1-ethyl-4-(1-H)quinolidene) ethylidene]) propenylene [bis(1-ethyl quinolinium iodide)]) as a photosensitive cyanin dye and studied its effects on various allergic reactions.
(18) The cyanines, which are relatively insensitive to solvent property changes, are complemented by the merocyanines, which are keen indicators of solvent polarity.
(19) Saturable depolarization of vesicular membranes could be demonstrated with glycylglycine by use of a fluorescent cyanine dye, di-S-C3(5).
(20) Using the histochemical stains aluminon, solochrome azurine and solochrome cyanine, intracellular binding of aluminium was examined in the mucosa of the stomach, duodenum, jejunum and ileum of adult rats.
