What's the difference between equilibrious and equilibrium?
Equilibrious
Definition:
(a.) Evenly poised; balanced.

(9) Our results showed that: (a) all models led to stability in group structure, but differed significantly in terms of stable IID and group shape characteristics; (b) cohesion was best served by an upwardly convex behaviour--distance function in which maximum attraction equaled maximum repulsion (and the biological plausibility of this function is discussed); (c) group elongation and variability in mean IID were significantly positively correlated; (d) although dyads maintained an equilibrial separation distance, at which attraction balanced repulsion, in larger groups stable nearest neighbour distances were often less than the equilibrium distance; and (e) individuals needed to monitor and respond to only relatively few of their companions in order to avoid group fragmentation.

(12) To determine whether equilibrial dysfunction is the cause or effect of idiopathic scoliosis, patients with idiopathic scoliosis, congenital scoliosis, and comparable controls were tested, using clinical postural tests and electronystagmographic recording of spontaneous and positional nystagmus, smooth visual pursuit, and rotation-induced nystagmus.
Equilibrium
Definition:
(n.) Equality of weight or force; an equipoise or a state of rest produced by the mutual counteraction of two or more forces.
(n.) A level position; a just poise or balance in respect to an object, so that it remains firm; equipoise; as, to preserve the equilibrium of the body.
(n.) A balancing of the mind between motives or reasons, with consequent indecision and doubt.
Example Sentences:
(1) In contrast with oligodendrocytes, [Cl-]i in astrocytes is significantly increased (from 20 to 40 mM) above the equilibrium distribution owing to the activity of an inward directed Cl- pump; this suggests a different mechanism of K+ uptake in these cells.

(9) In addition, a redistribution of cellular controls of the host reaction to parasites may act as a complementary mechanism for establishment of the viable equilibrium between host and parasite.
(10) In addition, although aspirin does transfer the acetyl group to hemoglobin both in vitro and in vivo, in our experiments the reaction does not result in any alteration in the oxygen equilibrium of either intact erythrocytes or hemoglobin in solution.
(11) administration the time for distribution in the body amounted to 8 h. The extrapolated initial concentrations in the equilibrium to distribution amounted to 0.68% of the administered dose in the plasma volume, and the theoretical volume of distribution was 5 times the body volume.
(12) This conception of the city as an expression of both regal power and social order, guided by cosmological principles and the pursuit of yin-yang equilibrium, was unlike anything in the western tradition.
