What's the difference between determinist and predestinarian?

Determinist


Definition:

  • (n.) One who believes in determinism. Also adj.; as, determinist theories.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Angus (A), Charolais (C), Hereford (H), Limousin (L), and Simmental (S) breeds were included in deterministic computer models simulating integrated cow-calf-feedlot production systems.
  • (2) Methods of analysis for some deterministic and stochastic variants of the integrate-to-threshold neural coding scheme are presented.
  • (3) When Monte Carlo simulations of clonal growth resulted in clones with large populations (> 50 cells), the population as a whole behaved in a deterministic fashion (logarithmic growth) similar to those observed in clinically observed neoplasms and consistent with other published models of tumour growth.
  • (4) The author exposits his adherence to universal determinism and attempts to answer the question, "What sort of possibility and ethics are permitted in a deterministic universe?"
  • (5) The deterministic model (assuming infinite population size and random mating) predictions of the final gene frequency were exceeded only if there was reproductive compensation.
  • (6) The advantages and the drawbacks of some deterministic and probability models which found application in microbiological laboratories are assessed.
  • (7) The cardiac activity stems from deterministic dynamics of chaotic nature characterized by correlation dimensions D2 ranging from 3.6 to 5.2.
  • (8) The advantages of combined selection are evaluated deterministically for a simple case of selecting the best males for use across populations by using a common truncation line over the distributions of EBV for the different populations.
  • (9) We continue our study of the effects of pollen and seed migration on the cytonuclear structure of mixed-mating plant populations by analyzing two deterministic continent-island models under the critical assumption of paternal cytoplasmic inheritance.
  • (10) A deterministic aerosol deposition model, previously validated by data from adult inhalation exposure experiments, is used to study particle deposition within the developing human lung.
  • (11) For the deterministic model, no epidemic can occur if R0 less than or equal to 1 and an epidemic occurs if R0 greater than 1.
  • (12) Due to its random nature, the elimination of turbulent effects by the use of a deterministic method is bound to fail.
  • (13) The main body of the paper examines recent developments of the basic Kermack-McKendrick model with an emphasis on deterministic models that describe various types of heterogeneity in the processes that determine transmission between infected and susceptible persons.
  • (14) The formula is a generalization of that previously presented by Armitage (1953), and this is the first attempt to apply the deterministic approach for mutation rate estimation to cultured mammalian cells.
  • (15) Biology thus is, in itself and in all its aspects, natural semiotics with a pronounced proximity to deterministic chaos.
  • (16) Proliferation of mammalian cells, even under conditions of unlimited growth, presents a complex problem because of the interaction of deterministic and stochastic processes.
  • (17) Hence, inherent inaccuracies exist when deterministic dimensions for lung geometry are used.
  • (18) This filter estimates the deterministic component of the signal and removes the noise uncorrelated with the stimulus, even if this noise is colored, as in the case of evoked potentials.
  • (19) These patterns are characteristic of chaotic distributions, and support the hypothesis that ECG waveform variation following cocaine does not degenerate into random patterns; instead, the variation follows deterministic, though chaotic patterns.
  • (20) In this approach, the input-output relationship a deterministic transducer is described by an orthogonal series of functionals.

Predestinarian


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to predestination; as, the predestinarian controversy.
  • (n.) One who believes in or supports the doctrine of predestination.
