What's the difference between coscinomancy and sieve?
Coscinomancy
Definition:
(n.) Divination by means of a suspended sieve.
Example Sentences:
Sieve
Definition:
(n.) A utensil for separating the finer and coarser parts of a pulverized or granulated substance from each other. It consist of a vessel, usually shallow, with the bottom perforated, or made of hair, wire, or the like, woven in meshes.
(n.) A kind of coarse basket.
Example Sentences:
(1) The test is based on the ability of larvae to freely migrate through selected mesh sizes of nylon sieves and the reduced ability of larvae to migrate after preincubation with, and in the presence of, substances that inhibit or reduce larval motility.
(2) The described procedure has the advantage of not requiring either molecular sieve or affinity chromatography for purification of homogenous CRP from human sera.
(3) When the capacitation medium was supplemented with follicular fluid, the [3H]sterols were bound to HDL's and to the albumin fraction; when the latter fraction was analysed by molecular sieve chromatography, 60-70% of the radioactivity eluted in fractions with a mean molecular weight corresponding to that of human serum albumin.
(4) When deformability was measured by filtration through 3-mum polycarbonate sieves, marked decreases in deformability were found in complement-coated erythrocytes.
(5) Rat liver cathepsin D (EC 3.4.23.5) was purified using precipitation technique, ion exchange chromatography, molecular sieve chromatography and isoelectric focusing.
(6) Analysis of the CNBr peptides on an HPLC sieving column confirmed that the electrophoretically abnormal peptides were of a higher molecular weight than were control peptides.
(7) The half-life of the solubilized oxidoreductase stored at 2-4 degrees C in the presence of 25% glycerol at pH 8.6 is approximately 30 h. The oxidoreductase contains a flavoprotein identifiable by its fluorescence spectrum for FAD which binds weakly to concanavalin A-Sepharose and elutes from gel sieving columns at a molecular weight range of approximately 51,000.
(8) passing through a 1.18 mm sieve during wet sieving) from the reticulo-rumen were negatively related to dimensions of particles, with greater ease of outflow for legume than for grass particles of the same length or diameter.
(9) Its molecular weight, determined by molecular sieving, was close to 36 kDa.
(10) The degree of fragmentation was judged first by eye during the experiment and then by both microscopy and sieving of the debris.
(11) Further purification of the 50K collagen by molecular sieve and high-performance liquid chromatography resulted in the isolation of two-non-disulfide-bonded polypeptides, 50K-A and 50K-B, which were susceptible to several neutral proteases, including bacterial collagenase.
(12) To demonstrate this point, the assay was applied to the protein fractions recovered from a molecular sieve column.
(13) The sieving of chylomicrons, remnants and other lipoproteins by the sinusoidal endothelium of the liver may thus play an important role in lipid transport, affecting the balance of various lipoprotein moieties which in turn may affect the relationship of dietary lipids to various hyperlipidaemias and atherosclerosis.
(14) Porcine cerebral microvessels were isolated by differential sieving and centrifugation and were characterized by microscopic examination and marker enzyme enrichment (gamma-glutamyltransferase; EC 2.3.2.2).
(15) Dextran sieving studies were performed before and after intravenous administration of indomethacin to control rats and to nephritic rats with heavy proteinuria.
(16) Cells dissociated by trypsinization and sieving are metabolically more active than cells separated mechanically (sieving only).
(17) Mannitol infusion resulted in a significant increase in urine volume and fractional excretion of sodium, but glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate, and the sieving coefficient for albumin remained stable.
(18) The flours are strained through a 425 microns sieve, then pelletized and measured.
(19) The Mr of agarase IIb was 63 000 as determined by analytical ultra-centrifugation, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate and molecular sieve chromatography on Sepharose 4B in 6M Gdn-HCl.
(20) The IL-1 induced chondrocyte PLA2 has a molecular weight of approximately 10 kDa, as determined by molecular sieve G75 column chromatography.
