Countable


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being numbered.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Water containing ornamental fishes was found to frequently contain countable numbers of bacteria that were resistant to one or more antibiotic or chemotherapeutic agents.
  • (2) Two of our four subjects had reduced but countable numbers of CFU-E, BFU-E, and GFU-GM in methylcellulose culture.

  • (6) Using L-Arterenol and sodium citrate in combination with standard chromosome culture techniques, 12 of 17 consecutive tumors (75%) had countable figures ranging from 5 cells to 59 cells.
  • (7) "There might be some projects out there that are not flawed but they are hardly even countable let's say," said Filzmoser.
  • (8) Countable bone metastases detected by bone scintigraphy were evaluated whether the lesion showed apparent, faint, or negative Ga-67 uptake.
  • (9) Cemental annulations are easily countable in teeth from animals that have an exaggerated regular change of food intake from season to season.
  • (10) The canonical countable entity for 3- and 4-year-old children is a discrete physical object.
  • (11) Cells furnished tryptone (Difco) and glycerol just before aerosolization increased (in viable numbers and countable cells) almost twofold within 1 to 2 h after becoming airborne, whereas cells not furnished additional tryptone decreased in viable numbers at a faster rate than the number of particles removed by gravitational settling.
  • (12) This paper deals with isolated, countable items, often termed particles, in three-dimensional space.
  • (13) Epidemiologists, who by themselves work only with countable phenomena of the macro-world, must collaborate with specialists in subjects below the macro-level if they wish to improve the explanatory power and validity of their results.

  • (17) Lymphoma 6C3HED-OG cells, known from previous work to be susceptible to the effects of guinea pig serum in vivo and dependent upon extrinsic asparagine for protein synthesis and growth in vitro, remained for the most part morphologically intact and countable in the electronic cell counter following exposures of 1 and 2 hr to the effects of heated (56 degrees C, 30 min) guinea pig serum injected into the peritoneal cavities of mice in which the lymphoma cells were growing rapidly; after exposures of 4 and 6 hr the bulk of the -OG cells remained still intact and countable in the cell counter, though by this time a small proportion of them (5 to 12%) proved stainable with eosin in wet preparations) hence were presumably nonviable.
  • (18) With a 90-min invasion time, the invasive potential of a strain was reflected by the multiplicity of infection needed to produce countable wells.

Definition:

Example Sentences:
