What's the difference between excessive and residual?

Excessive


Definition:

  • (a.) Characterized by, or exhibiting, excess; overmuch.

  • (16) Attention is drawn to the desirability of differentiating between supra- and sub-gingival calculus in the CPITN scoring system and to the excessive treatment requirements that arise from classifying everyone with calculus as requiring prophylaxis and scaling.
  • (17) IgG-gold also adhered to M cells and excess unlabeled IgG inhibited IgA-gold binding; thus binding was not isotype-specific.
  • (18) The technique did not compromise cancer resection, excessively prolong operating time, or alter postoperative management.
  • (19) The temperature-activated 4 to 5 S EBP transformation is found to be highly reproducible without loss of [3H]estradiol-binding activity in a buffer containing an excess of [3H]estradiol, 40 mM Tris, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 1 M urea at pH 7.4.
  • (20) The amount of cleavage products depends on the excess of H2O2 used.

Residual


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to a residue; remaining after a part is taken.
  • (n.) The difference of the results obtained by observation, and by computation from a formula.
  • (n.) The difference between the mean of several observations and any one of them.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) An automated continuous flow sample cleanup system intended for rapid screening of foods for pesticide residues in fresh and processed vegetables has been developed.
  • (2) IT can, therefore, be excluded almost with certainty that the meat would contain such large amounts of hormone residues.
  • (3) The second amino acid residue influences not only the rate of reaction but also the extent of formation of the product of the Amadori rearrangement, the ketoamine.
  • (4) Amino acid sequence analysis showed that both peaks had identical N-terminal sequences through the first 28 residues.
  • (5) Arthrotomy with continuous irrigation appears to be more effective in decreasing long-term residual effects than arthrotomy alone.
  • (6) The pathology resulting from a missense mutation at residue 403 further suggests that a critical function of myosin is disrupted by this mutation.
  • (7) The mboIIR gene specifies a protein of 416 amino acids (MW: 48,617) while the mboIIM gene codes for a putative 260-residue polypeptide (MW: 30,077).
  • (8) As a group, the three mammalian proteins resemble bovine serum conglutinin and behave as lectins with rather broad sugar specificities directed at certain non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose and fucose residues, but with subtle differences in fine specificities.
  • (9) We recently demonstrated that functional change in SSI was possible simply by replacing the amino acid residue at the reactive P1 site (methionine 73) of SSI.
  • (10) Analogues of [Orn6]-SP6-11 have been synthesized in which the Met11 residue is replaced by glutamate gamma-alkylesters.
