What's the difference between determinacy and determinateness?

Determinacy


Definition:

  • (n.) Determinateness.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Given the determinacy of individual differences scaling, this finding is taken to provide strong evidence for the perceptual significance of those features.
  • (2) The course of 201 patients with carcinoma of the stomach treated from 1962 through 1966 was followed with 97% determinacy for 10 years.
  • (3) This pattern of expression has implications for how flo affects phyllotaxis, organ identity, and determinacy.
  • (4) Concepts of importance for cell lineage studies include the principal division modes by which a cell may give rise to its descendant clone (proliferative, stem cell and diversifying); developmental determinacy, or indeterminacy, which refer to the degree to which the normal cleavage pattern of the early embryo and the developmental fate of its individual cells is, or is not, the same in specimen after specimen; commitment, which refers to the restriction of the developmental potential of a pluripotent embryonic cell; and equivalence group, which refers to two or more equivalently pluripotent cell clones that normally take on different fates but of which under abnormal conditions one clone can take on the fate of another.
  • (5) Prosopagnosics and normals are found to differ in their transitional determinacies, such that prosopagnosics require more binders (precisors) for covert recognition than normals.
  • (6) In this article it is shown that production and recognition differ, that recognition is not simply the inverse of production, and that the derivation of production from recognition and recognition from production require a small set of generalizable 'transitional determinacies'.
  • (7) Secondly, it is shown that transitional determinacies explain the difference between 'overt' and 'covert' recognition recently observed in prosopagnosics, patients unable to recognize familiar faces.
  • (8) In addition, superman mutants exhibit a loss of determinacy of the floral meristem, an effect that appears to be mediated by the APETALA3 and PISTILLATA gene products.
  • (9) In general, it is concluded that transitional determinacies are as necessary to the theory of grammar as determinacies themselves.

Determinateness


Definition:

  • (n.) State of being determinate.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This study was undertaken to determine whether the survival of Hispanic patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck was different from that of Anglo-American patients.
  • (2) It is supposed that delta-sleep peptide along with other oligopeptides is one of the factors determining individual animal resistance to emotional stress, which is supported by significant delta-sleep peptide increase in hypothalamus in stable rats.
  • (3) Disease stabilisation was associated with prolonged periods of comparatively high plasma levels of drug, which appeared to be determined primarily by reduced drug clearance.
  • (4) The prenatal risk determined by smoking pregnant woman was studied by a fetal electrocardiogram at different gestational ages.
  • (5) These results indicated that the PG determination was the most accurate predictor of fetal lung well-being prior to birth among the clinical tests so far reported.
  • (6) The nucleotide sequence of a 2.2-kb DNA fragment which contains the complete RAD7 gene was determined.
  • (7) We have determined the genomic structure of the fosB gene and shown that it consists of 4 exons and 3 introns at positions also found in the c-fos gene.
  • (8) We conclude that first-transit and blood-pool techniques are equally accurate methods for determining EF when the time-activity method of analysis is employed.
  • (9) It is quite interesting to analyse which gene of the virus determines the characteristics of the virus.
  • (10) Spectrophotometric determination of the sulfhydryl content in the animal tissue before (control) and after using 6,6'-Dithiodinicotinic acid is applied.
  • (11) We determined whether serological investigations can assist to distinguish between chronic idiopathic autoimmune thrombocytopenia (cAITP) and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in patients at risk to develop systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); 82 patients were seen in this institution for the evaluation of immune thrombocytopenia.
  • (12) Quantitative determinations indicate that the amount of PBG-D mRNA is modulated both by the erythroid nature of the tissue and by cell proliferation, probably at the transcriptional level.
  • (13) We report a series of experiments designed to determine if agents and conditions that have been reported to alter sodium reabsorption, Na-K-ATPase activity or cellular structure in the rat distal nephron might also regulate the density or affinity of binding of 3H-metolazone to the putative thiazide receptor in the distal nephron.
  • (14) Complementarity determining regions (CDR) are conserved to different extents, with the first CDR region in all family members being among the most conserved segments of the molecule.
  • (15) Acquired drug resistance to INH, RMP, and EMB can be demonstrated in M. kansasii, and SMX in combination with other agents chosen on the basis of MIC determinations are effective in the treatment of disease caused by RMP-resistant M. kansasii.
  • (16) In animal experiments pharmacological properties of the low molecular weight heparin derivative CY 216 were determined.
  • (17) Using the oocyte system to express size-fractionated mRNA, we have also determined that the mRNA coding for this protein is between 1.9-2.4 kilobases in length.
  • (18) Despite of the increasing diagnostic importance of the direct determination of the parathormone which is at first available only in special institutions in these cases methodical problems play a less important part than the still not infrequent appearing misunderstanding of the adequate basic disease.
  • (19) The procedure used in our laboratory was not able to provide accurate determination of the concentrations of these binding forms.
