Discrepancy


Definition:

  • (n.) The state or quality of being discrepant; disagreement; variance; discordance; dissimilarity; contrariety.

Divergence


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Divergency

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A neodymium YAG (Nd:YAG) laser was evaluated in a dog ulcer model used in the same manner as is recommended for bleeding patients (power 55 W, divergence angle 4 degrees, with CO2 gas-jet assistance).
  • (2) The primary afferent fibers diverge in the brainstem into a short ascending and a long descending tract.
  • (3) Sires of the cows had been divergently selected on yearling weight (YW) and total maternal (MAT) EPD to form four groups: high YW, high MAT EPD; high YW, low MAT EPD; low YW, high MAT EPD; and low YW, low MAT EPD.

  • (8) We propose that BGP I diverged from NCA by acquiring an immunoglobulin-like domain substantially different from the domains found in NCA or CEA and also a new cytoplasmic domain.
  • (9) We present a comparison of the Canadian and American data on expenditures, identifying the sectors in which the experience of the two nations diverges most, and describing the processes of control.
  • (10) Cognate sites in genomes that diverged approximately 100 million years ago can be detected by PCR assays based on primer pairs from unique sequences.
  • (11) The sequences in the 5'-flanking region of the alpha- and beta-MYHC-encoding genes diverge extensively from one another, suggesting that expression of the alpha- and beta-MYHC genes is independently regulated.
  • (12) This article examines the history of Dr. Crozat and his appliance, discusses the development and divergence in its use, and demonstrates this divergence with a few selected, documented case reports.
  • (13) Species of the genera Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, Debaryomyces and Schwanniomyces were compared from their extent of divergence in three regions from small (18S) and large (25S) subunit ribosomal RNAs comprising a total of 900 nucleotides.
