What's the difference between correlation and interdependency?

Correlation


Definition:

  • (n.) Reciprocal relation; corresponding similarity or parallelism of relation or law; capacity of being converted into, or of giving place to, one another, under certain conditions; as, the correlation of forces, or of zymotic diseases.

  • (20) The intensity of the type III specific peptide bands correlates with the type III content of the samples.

Interdependency


Definition:

  • (n.) Mutual dependence; as, interdependency of interests.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The present study evaluates the interdependence of clinical stage, cerebral vasospasm, intracranial pressure (ICP), and transcranial Doppler ultrasonographic parameters.
  • (2) But what has really been lost is a sense of the density and interdependence of human life, which can neither be reduced to a formula nor brushed aside as irrelevant.
  • (3) As ferritin H synthesis declined, levels of transferrin receptor protein increased, reaching a maximum by 24 h. These results suggest that the cytokine-dependent induction of ferritin H and subsequent increase in the transferrin receptor are related and possibly interdependent events.
  • (4) This study shows close interdependence between fat droplets and Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum.
  • (5) These results were interpreted with reference to contextual conditioning effects predicted by the Rescorla-Wagner conditioning model and the theoretical issue of independence vs. interdependence of CS-US associative strengths.

  • (8) The pH-dependent binding to 70-S particles clearly shows the involvement of two prototropic groups which appear to be those carrying out GTP hydrolysis, therefore directly linked to initiation complex formation; in the presence of a non-hydrolyzable analogue to GTP, guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate, the binding of fMet-tRNAfMet shows much less interdependence between variation of pH and Mg2+ concentration.
  • (9) The author has found qualitative age-dependent differences in the changes of the electrical activity of the structures in question, as well as the interdependence between the initial electrical activity of n. caudatus of old rats and their death following reserpine administration.
  • (10) The interdependence and interrelationship of the induction and cooperation of these mechanisms are examined.
  • (11) The bilaterality of the changes which occur in the CPu provide further support for the notion of the interdependence of the two nigrostriatal dopaminergic projections and the peptidergic systems with which they interact.

  • (15) The following conclusions were reached: (1) the diameter of intrapulmonary arteries is stabilized (more constant with changes in intravascular pressure) when the lung has a high transpulmonary pressure; (2) increases in pulmonary vascular resistance at high lung volumes may be related to extra-alveolar, as well as intra-alveolar, vessel compression; (3) interdependence in human lungs differs markedly from interdependence in dog lungs.
  • (16) Although there is a close interdependence of these events, they could be experimentally distinguished.
  • (17) On the basis of our observations in untreated cells and our experiments with microtubule perturbation, we conclude that microtubules and the ER are highly interdependent in two ways: (a) polymerization of individual microtubules and extension of individual ER tubules occur together at the level of resolution of the fluorescence microscope, and (b) depolymerization of microtubules does not disrupt the ER network in the short term (15 min), but prolonged absence of microtubules (2 h) leads to a slow retraction of the ER network towards the cell center, indicating that over longer periods of time, the extended state of the entire ER network requires the microtubule system.
