What's the difference between curvate and curved?

Curvate


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Curvated

Example Sentences:

  • (3) After discussing the oxygen demand of the cornea the relevance is shown on basis of 100 patients who wear normal HEMA-lenses in contrast to 100 patients with ultra-thin-lenses, and after doing so it is stated that as well cornea curvations as well as refractions are hardly changed by the wear of ultra-thin contact lenses.
  • (4) The difference in reactivity of these two types of liposomes is not due to a difference in their fluidities since their fatty acid compositions are identical, but may be due to a difference in their areas of sterically accessible phospholipid, their permeabilities to the apoprotein, their radii of curvation, or a combination of these factors.
  • (5) Although metastatic breast cancer responds to a variety of hormonal and chemotherapeutic interventions, it is rare that such therapy is curvative.

Curved


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (4) However, there was no statistically significant difference in mean areas under the LH and FSH curves in the GnRH-treated groups.
  • (5) Regression curves indicate that although all three types of pulmonary edema can be characterized by slightly different slopes, the differences are statistically insignificant.
