What's the difference between digitigrade and mobile?

Digitigrade


Definition:

  • (a.) Walking on the toes; -- distinguished from plantigrade.
  • (n.) An animal that walks on its toes, as the cat, lion, wolf, etc.; -- distinguished from a plantigrade, which walks on the palm of the foot.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Thus, the hand of Chiroptera is a unique example of combination of primitive, initial for pentadactule plantigrades wrist with signs of narrow specialization resembling, to some extent, those of Ungulata; only in Ungulata those signs developed on the base of digitigrades wrist.
  • (3) It retains a clavicle, has five complete digits in the manus and four in the pes and is digitigrade.
  • (4) The loss of TA power was compensated either by increases of recruitment and firing rate of residual TA units or by a change from the normal plantigrade gait pattern to the infantile digitigrade pattern putting less strain on TA.
  • (5) Moderately paralysed subjects usually maintained plantigrade gait by excessive use of residual TA units but tended to change to digitigrade gait on fatigue thus economizing with remaining TA power.
  • (6) A swimming-like movement characterized by abduction, rotation and hyperextension of the paw was replaced by the digitigrade adult pattern without marked rotation.
  • (7) Representatives of the arboreal and terrestrial walking and jumping category (Genetta genetta, G. servalina, G. tigrina) have a plantigrade forefoot and digitigrade hindfoot.
  • (8) Severely paralysed subjects used digitigrade gait but plantigrade gait could be restored by application of a toe using string, i.e.

Mobile


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being moved; not fixed in place or condition; movable.
  • (a.) Characterized by an extreme degree of fluidity; moving or flowing with great freedom; as, benzine and mercury are mobile liquids; -- opposed to viscous, viscoidal, or oily.
  • (a.) Easily moved in feeling, purpose, or direction; excitable; changeable; fickle.
  • (a.) Changing in appearance and expression under the influence of the mind; as, mobile features.
  • (a.) Capable of being moved, aroused, or excited; capable of spontaneous movement.
  • (a.) The mob; the populace.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It was found that linear extrapolations of log k' versus ET(30) plots to the polarity of unmodified aqueous mobile phase gave a more reliable value of log k'w than linear regressions of log k' versus volume percent.
  • (2) The mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is anomalous since the undenatured, cross-linked proteins have the same Stokes radius as the native, uncross-linked alpha beta gamma heterotrimer.
  • (3) It is likely that trunk mobility is necessary to maintain integrity of SI joint and that absence of such mobility compromises SI joint structure in many paraplegics.
  • (4) Their particular electrophoretic mobility was retained.
  • (5) This mobilization procedure allowed transfer and expression of pJT1 Ag+ resistance in E. coli C600.
  • (6) A substance with a chromatographic mobility of Rf = 0.8 on TLC plates having an intact phosphorylcholine head group was also formed but has not yet been identified.
  • (7) The following model is suggested: exogenous ATP interacts with a membrane receptor in the presence of Ca2+, a cascade of events occurs which mobilizes intracellular calcium, thereby increasing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration which consequently opens the calcium-activated K+ channels, which then leads to a change in membrane potential.
  • (8) Sequence specific binding of protein extracts from 13 different yeast species to three oligonucleotide probes and two points mutants derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA binding proteins were tested using mobility shift assays.
  • (9) The molecule may already in its native form have an extended conformation containing either free sulfhydryl groups or small S-S loops not affecting mobility in SDS-PAGE.
