What's the difference between deflection and snick?

Deflection


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of turning aside, or state of being turned aside; a turning from a right line or proper course; a bending, esp. downward; deviation.
  • (n.) The deviation of a shot or ball from its true course.
  • (n.) A deviation of the rays of light toward the surface of an opaque body; inflection; diffraction.
  • (n.) The bending which a beam or girder undergoes from its own weight or by reason of a load.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Arda Turan's deflected long-range strike puts Atlético back in control.
  • (2) In patients with coronary artery disease, electrocardiographic signs of left atrial enlargement (LAE-negative P wave deflection greater than or equal to 1 mm2 in lead V1) are associated with increased left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP).
  • (3) The behavior of the retrograde H deflection in respect to the first extra beat following the premature QRS complex helped in excluding bundle branch reentry.
  • (4) Gibbs was sent off in the first half at Stamford Bridge for handball, despite replays clearly showing it was his team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who illegally deflected an Eden Hazard shot.
  • (5) Extraction tools included flexible, telescoping sheaths advanced over the lead to dilate scar tissue and apply countertraction, deflection catheters, and wire basket snares.
  • (6) The following points should be emphasized: Besides the right proximal blocks, which are more frequent, right distal ones can also be diagnosed by the presence of slurred R wave and delayed onset of the intrinsicoid deflection in only some right leads.
  • (7) Cameron: We must not be deflected from our sense of aimlessness.
  • (8) In the infarct of the inferior wall the ST segment elevation occurs in leads II, III, aVF without the presence of Q deflection.
  • (9) Electrophysiologic studies disclosed poor anterograde atrioventricular nodal conduction with a block proximal to His deflection that occurred at an atrial paced cycle length of 600 msec with no ventriculoatrial conduction.
  • (10) Myths such as those that we have described may distract our patients from the underlying behaviors that contribute to the disease or may deflect the blame perceived by obese patients and their parents.
  • (11) The mechanical force-deflection response was sigmoidal with continuously changing resistance.
  • (12) Some wires exhibited super-elasticity; load decreased little with decreasing deflection.
  • (13) The Tip Deflection Test involved securing the lead at 45 degrees at the indifferent electrode and applying a force to deflect the tip 5 mm.
  • (14) Cohen crossed the ball long from the right and Hurst rose magnificently to deflect in another header which Tilkowski could only scramble away from his right hand post, Ball turned the ball back into the goalmouth and the German’s desperation was unmistakable as Overath came hurtling in to scythe the ball away for a corner.
  • (15) The IFM-gap placed on the receptor region displayed triphasic spikes in which the first small positive deflection occurred approximately 0.2 ms prior to the propagated and abortive spikes.
  • (16) The maximum conduction velocity of 70 to 80 meters per second corresponded to an initial small deflection, with most fibers conducting at slower rates.
  • (17) No clinically useful prediction may be made from cephalometric radiographs concerning the amount of mandibular deflection from centric relation to maximum intercuspation of teeth.
  • (18) Collecting the fallout from a corner, Max Gradel unleashed a shot which might well have beaten Rob Elliot had it not deflected wide off Andrew Surman.
  • (19) Each proximal hair is innervated by a single mechanosensory neuron responding phasically to hair deflections as small as 0.2 degrees in amplitude.
  • (20) Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool (Delaney 78) 78 min: Damien Delaney tries a speculative shot from distance, which is deflected past Simon Mignolet off the back of Glen Johnson, who had failed to close down the Palace defender and was on the half-turn.

Snick


Definition:

  • (n.) A small cut or mark.
  • (n.) A slight hit or tip of the ball, often unintentional.
  • (n.) A knot or irregularity in yarn.
  • (n.) A snip or cut, as in the hair of a beast.
  • (v. t.) To cut slightly; to strike, or strike off, as by cutting.
  • (v. t.) To hit (a ball) lightly.
  • (n. & v. t.) See Sneck.
