What's the difference between dissipate and dissipativity?
Dissipate
Definition:
(v. t.) To scatter completely; to disperse and cause to disappear; -- used esp. of the dispersion of things that can never again be collected or restored.
(v. t.) To destroy by wasteful extravagance or lavish use; to squander.
(v. i.) To separate into parts and disappear; to waste away; to scatter; to disperse; to vanish; as, a fog or cloud gradually dissipates before the rays or heat of the sun; the heat of a body dissipates.
(v. i.) To be extravagant, wasteful, or dissolute in the pursuit of pleasure; to engage in dissipation.
Example Sentences:
(1) The rhodamine 123-induced growth inhibition was partially reversed by treating the dye-pre-exposed infected erythrocytes with the proton ionophore carbonyl-cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, which dissipates transmembrane proton gradients.
(2) These effects of t-butyl hydroperoxide on [9,10-3H]oleic acid incorporation are not affected by dissipating transmembrane gradients for calcium and potassium.
(3) It has been possible to separate this dissipation from that associated with elongation factor Tu function.
(4) A mutation from one state into another in such system ('bioids') involves an amplification of different 'kinds of information', as 'stochastic' (noise into dissipative structures), 'molecular' (autocatalysts), and 'stoichimetric' information.
(5) A comparison with the same transient input terminal input, the fraction of input charge dissipated by various branches in the neuron model is illustrated.
(6) Therefore, at least 75% of maximal import inhibition observed in the presence of F1 beta 1-32 + 2 and F1 beta 21-51 + 3 does not result from dissipation of delta psi.
(7) The surreal air of calm surrounding Spain's bond market shows no signs of dissipating.
(8) In the present studies, Cl replaced the much less permeant anion methanesulfonate (Mes) either (a) at constant [K], in which increased [K][Cl] permits net KCl and water flux across internal membranes, or (b) at constant [K][Cl] (choline substitution), in which the imposed gradients and diffusion potentials should dissipate slowly.
(9) Similarly, the formation of spatial dissipative structures by coupling of a transport process with an interfacial reaction was investigated as a simple experimental example of symmetry breaking.
(10) In contrast, prior depolarization of the cells using varying concentrations of KCl in the external medium, which dissipated the electrochemical gradient for chloride efflux, resulted in a corresponding prolongation of the transient calcium response to vasopressin and angiotensin.
(11) The ATPase activity and H+ translocation are critically dependent upon the presence of chloride, which suggests that chloride influences H+ translocation by dissipating the H+ gradient and acting at the catalytic site of the ATPase.
(12) Her support dissipated in a fruitless search for a site.
(13) This excess risk was dissipated when selected covariates were added to the model.
(14) The patient is allowed to do functional exercises 24 hours after reduction with the aid of the spring stepping roller, which not only helps dissipate swelling in the early stage but also remold the articular facet.
(15) The results show that there is considerable variation in the rate and pattern of dissipation of the various components of the experimentally produced haematoma.
(16) This was probably caused by either dissipation of membrane potential or damage to the vesicle membranes.
(17) The theoretical function described coherences between recording sites of small separation for linear, non-dispersive, dissipative waves moving on an infinite homogeneous plane medium, and driven by spatio-temporally noisy inputs.
(18) In the same study, it was shown, using a 9-amino acridine fluorescent pH probe, that completion of the first stage was characterized by increase in H+ permeability such that the H+ gradient between sperm head and medium was dissipated.
(19) However, when vesicles were loaded with both KCl and NaCl the height of the overshoot was considerably decreased indicating a Na+-K+-dependent dissipation of the intravesicular to extravesicular chloride gradient.
(20) With less space to dissipate water within the network, it is forced into the main channel.
Dissipativity
Definition:
(n.) The rate at which palpable energy is dissipated away into other forms of energy.
