What's the difference between dexterity and dexterousness?
Dexterity
Definition:
(n.) Right-handedness.
(n.) Readiness and grace in physical activity; skill and ease in using the hands; expertness in manual acts; as, dexterity with the chisel.
(n.) Readiness in the use or control of the mental powers; quickness and skill in managing any complicated or difficult affair; adroitness.
Example Sentences:
(1) Emphasis is placed upon practical matters, such as quality of measurement, instruments and the dexterity of the surgeon.
(2) Since the effectiveness with which they are removed largely depends on the age with respect to the stage of root formation, bone resilience and relationship with adjacent anatomical structures, and the dexterity of the operator, whenever possible, early removal is recommended.
(3) The in vitro culture of mouse bone marrow (Dexter cultures) has allowed a detailed analysis of the biology of murine hematopoiesis.
(4) Ethanol alone impaired manual dexterity, increased drowsiness, reduced 'clearheadedness' and also tended to reduce feelings of aggression.
(5) Long-term in vitro human hematopoietic (Dexter) cultures are limited both in their longevity (8-12 weeks) and in their cell production over time.
(6) Cor triatriatum dexter is rare and is infrequently diagnosed before postmortem study; however, once the diagnosis is extablished, the condition is amenable to a relatively simple surgical correction.
(7) At the age of 50, Keaton adopted her first child, her daughter Dexter, now 18.
(8) Additional experiments were performed to assess the formation of new progenitor cells in reconstituted Dexter cultures.
(9) The conditioned medium of a non-virus producing A-MuLV transformed fibroblast cell line was synergistic with medium from Whitlock-Witte long-term bone marrow cultures, while conditioned medium from modified Dexter-type cultures was not active.
(10) Aesthesiometric thresholds (two-point discrimination and depth sense perception), manipulative dexterity, pinch grip force and fingertip skin temperature (FST) were measured before and after exposure to different combinations of static load (handle holding), noise and vibration by using new production brush saws for 5 to 15 min.
(11) The results showed a very good distribution of 100% or 90% in the bronchi principals dexter and sinister.
(12) MK-8057 can be maintained in Dexter-type liquid culture with a feeder layer of irradiated bone marrow cells.
(13) Sex differences emerged on the Embedded-figures Test and the first half of the dexterity test.
(14) Dexter was a consummate theatrical craftsman and Lindsay was, in one form, a sort of poetic director.
(15) We feel that these innovations may enhance surgical dexterity of residents without the need for animal sacrifice.
(16) Yet, we could not find relevant associations between radiographic findings and clinical outcome parameters (pain, morning stiffness, dexterity, grip strength, and patient's overall assessment).
(17) And, apart from appearing in plays at his Belper grammar school, Bates became a regular visitor to Derby Playhouse, where he admired the work of two unknown actors, and later friends, John Osborne and John Dexter.
(18) Through dexterous operation of the Shinkai6500's mechanical arms by pilot Sasaki-san, we quickly began collecting samples of rocks, the hot fluids from the vents, and the creatures thriving around them: speckled anemones with almost-translucent tentacles, and the orange-tinted shrimp scurrying among them.
(19) Our data suggest that poorer performance may be because orthodontists: (1) perceive their younger population of patients at less risk for HBV and HIV; (2) treat 2.5 times as many patients, which increases the costs of infection control; (3) do not use invasive procedures; and (4) perceive that glove use decreases dexterity.
(20) The interaction of noise and heat entailed superior performance of the tasks of memory and search, two hand coordination and reaction time, at moderate difficulty levels, but no distinct interaction effect was observed on the performance of tweezer dexterity.
