What's the difference between disgregate and disperse?
Disgregate
Definition:
(v. t.) To disperse; to scatter; -- opposite of congregate.
Example Sentences:
(1) This phenomenon accounts for a metabolic depletion of the myocardium: the higher the number of fibrillation episodes previously induced and subsided (either spontaneously or not) in the same animal, the faster the course of the phenomenon; 4. the vectorial analysis of the fibrillation potentials and, particularly, the graphic construction of "depolarization" and "repolarization" vectorcardiograms, in the differenttypes or variants of ventricular paroxysms, show that the basic mechanisms leading to ventricular electric activity disgregation are the multiple re-entry and the irregular spreading of the activation front; 5. on the basis of the acquired data, the authors believe that the "circus movement" theory (Wiggers) is still the most suitable for explaining the onset and the evolution of ventricualr fibrillation.
(2) Some pathological lesions can arise from the rests that survive after the disgregation of various odontogenic epithelial structures destined to disappear with growth: the epithelial root sheath, the dental lamina and the external epithelium of the enamel organ.
(3) Some general characteristics common to all patients are reviewed, among them: age (all patients are adolescents); vulnerability of personality and ego weakness; absent father; narcissistic mother; disgregation of the family and pathological communication among their members; unaccepted griefs; magic expectations on the activity of the drug.
Disperse
Definition:
(v. t.) To scatter abroad; to drive to different parts; to distribute; to diffuse; to spread; as, the Jews are dispersed among all nations.
(v. t.) To scatter, so as to cause to vanish; to dissipate; as, to disperse vapors.
(v. i.) To separate; to go or move into different parts; to vanish; as, the company dispersed at ten o'clock; the clouds disperse.
(v. i.) To distribute wealth; to share one's abundance with others.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results also suggest that the dispersed condition of pigment in the melanophores represents the "resting state" of the melanophores when they are under no stimulation.
(2) Somatostatin inhibited carbachol- and cholecystokinin octapeptide-induced pepsinogen secretion from dispersed gastric mucosal cells in a dose-dependent manner.
(3) The results of the measurements permitted the identification of five main cytologic types, with regard to nuclear size, nuclear area dispersion and irregularity of nuclear profiles.
(4) Considerable glucose 6-phosphatase activity survived 240min of treatment with phospholipase C at 5 degrees C, but in the absence of substrate or at physiological glucose 6-phosphate concentrations the delipidated enzyme was completely inactivated within 10min at 37 degrees C. However, 80mM-glucose 6-phosphate stabilized it and phospholipid dispersions substantially restored thermal stability.
(5) Despite their wide dispersion, Vmax and the stereological determinations correlated strongly at 2 mo of age, confirming that Vmax is a robust indicator of the surface area of the air-blood barrier.
(6) Phosphatidylcholine dispersed on Celite was rapidly solubilized by neutral bovine serum albumin solutions.
(7) The alpha-ScTx receptors seemed to be randomly dispersed on both cell bodies and cell processes.
(8) The RB transcript is encoded in 27 exons dispersed over about 200 kilobases (kb) of genomic DNA.
(9) We show that, in digitonin-permeabilized goldfish xanthophores, the pigment organelles can be induced to disperse by a combination of cAMP, ATP, and xanthophore cytosol.
(10) These results are consistent with the idea that RPE pigment dispersion is triggered by a substance that diffuses from the retina at light onset.
(11) Neither temporal dispersion nor focal conduction block occurred.
(12) Brain macrophages were studied in dispersed monolayer cultures of post-natal mouse cerebella.
(13) These factors include narrowing of septal arteries and the artery to the atrioventricular node, preservation of fetal anatomy with dispersion in the atrioventricular node and His bundle, fibrosis of the sinus node, clefts in the septum, multiple atrioventricular pathways and massive myocardial infarction.
(14) The number of dispersed iccosomes was markedly reduced by day 5.
(15) Further preparations were conducted to evaluate coatings applied from aqueous dispersion (pseudolatex) using air suspension coating technique.
(16) Variation of scrotal colour was not due to changes in melanocyte number or dispersion of melanosomes.
(17) Southern blotting experiments using somatic cell hybrids containing either the human chromosome 3 or the X chromosome confirm the presence of multiple dispersed RTVL-H sequences on these two chromosomes.
(18) A new method based on solid phase dispersion of tissue for the subsequent isolation of drugs is reported.
(19) It appears, therefore, that the aggregation and dispersion of pigment within the melanophores is the primary mechanism responsible for the changes in color of this species.
(20) When detergent-dispersed LA was contaminated with linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LOOH), lipid peroxidation was catalyzed by Fe2+ via reductive cleavage of LOOH (LOOH-Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation), and Fe2+ was oxidized simultaneously in SDS micelles, even when H2O2 was not present.
