What's the difference between dissipativity and palpable?

Dissipativity


Definition:

  • (n.) The rate at which palpable energy is dissipated away into other forms of energy.

Example Sentences:

  • (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.

Palpable


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being touched and felt; perceptible by the touch; as, a palpable form.
  • (a.) Easily perceptible; plain; distinct; obvious; readily perceived and detected; gross; as, palpable imposture; palpable absurdity; palpable errors.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Over a period of 9 months a 12-year-old girl spontaneously developed a palpable cystic tumor in the upper eye lid which led to an indentation and downward displacement of the globe.
  • (2) The diagnosis of an arterial injury may be readily apparent, but the excellent upper-extremity collateral circulation may create palpable distal pulses despite a significant proximal arterial injury.
  • (3) Patients were grouped as +RSC if they developed a sustained spontaneous palpable pulse or blood pressure and as -RSC if they did not develop a pulse or blood pressure.
  • (4) The lesion presented as a discrete, palpable mass that led to orchiectomy.
  • (5) The criteria selected by a classification tree method were similar: palpable purpura, age less than or equal to 20 years at disease onset, biopsy showing granulocytes around arterioles or venules, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • (6) A palpable, purpuric, nonpruritic eruption occurred in a 64-year-old man nine days after he received intravenous streptokinase therapy, which was successful in treating acute myocardial infarction.
  • (7) Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom and a pelvic mass was palpable in all patients.
  • (8) The tumor was palpable on physical examination, but not apparent on plain radiographs.
  • (9) Dietary quercetin inhibited both the incidence and the number of palpable rat mammary tumors; rats fed on 2% quercetin had 25% less incidence of mammary cancer, while the average number of mammary tumors per rat was reduced by 39% at 20 wk post-DMBA administration compared to animals on a control diet.
  • (10) For some patients with T3 or V+ tumors and palpably normal retroperitoneal nodes, an extended nodal dissection may resect microscopically involved nodes and result in an improved survival rate.
  • (11) Histologically confirmed results were obtained from 496 palpable findings.
  • (12) A nodal mass may be palpable and computed tomography (CT) is frequently requested in order to differentiate recurrent tumour from the longer term effects of surgery and radiotherapy.
  • (13) When palpable tumors developed in all animals, therapy was initiated.
  • (14) After complete, high quality x-ray mammography, a palpable mass or nonpalpable mammographic abnormality may remain indeterminate in etiology, and ultrasound may be useful as an adjunctive diagnostic modality.
