What's the difference between experimentation and proving?

Experimentation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of experimenting; practice by experiment.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.
  • (5) The various evocational changes appear to form sets of interconnected systems and this complex network seems to embody some plasticity since it has been possible to suppress experimentally some of the most universal evocational events or alter their temporal order without impairing evocation itself.
  • (6) Single-case experimental designs are presented and discussed from several points of view: Historical antecedents, assessment of the dependent variable, internal and external validity and pre-experimental vs experimental single-case designs.

  • (8) In each study, all subjects underwent four replications (over two days) of one of the six permutations of the three experimental conditions; each condition lasted 5 min.
  • (9) Content of cyclic nucleoside monophosphates was decreased in all the eye tissues in experimental toxico-allergic uveitis as well as penetration of cAMP into the fluid of anterior chamber of the eye.
  • (10) The performance characteristics of the CCD are well documented and understood, having been quantified by many experimenters, especially in the physical sciences.
  • (11) Because of the dearth of epidemiological clues as to causation, studies with experimental animal models assume greater importance.
  • (12) A beta-adrenergic receptor cDNA cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector reliably induces high levels of beta-adrenergic receptor expression in 2-12% of COS cell colonies transfected with this plasmid after experimental conditions are optimized.
  • (13) Neither Brucella organisms, nor increased numbers of neutrophils could be found in semen samples collected from the experimental animals.
  • (14) An experimental Anaplasma marginale infection was induced in a splenectomized mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) which persisted subclinically at least 376 days as detected by subinoculation into susceptible cattle.
  • (15) Reasonably good agreement is seen between theoretical apparent rate-vesicle concentration relationships and those measured experimentally.
  • (16) This value is about 30 times higher than the association constant for guanine-cytosine base pair formation under the same experimental conditions.
  • (17) This experimental system allows separation of three B lymphocyte developmental stages: early differentiation in vitro, progression to IgM secretion in vivo, and late differentiation dependent upon mature T lymphocytes in vivo.
  • (18) An experimental autoimmune model of nerve growth factor (NGF) deprivation has been used to assess the role of NGF in the development of various cell types in the nervous system.
  • (19) In the liver of albino rats with experimental thyrotoxicosis a study was made of nucleic acids and some indices of phosphorus metabolism: total and inorganic phosphorus, total and acid-soluble phosphorus, phosphorus of RNA, DNA and phosphoproteins.
  • (20) Current status of prognosis in clinical, experimental and prophylactic medicine is delineated with formulation of the purposes and feasibility of therapeutic and preventive realization of the disease onset and run prediction.

Proving


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Prove

Example Sentences:

  • (1) During the performance of propulsive waves of the oesophagus the implanted vagus nerve caused clonic to tetanic contractions of the sternohyoid muscle, thus proving the oesophagomotor genesis of the reinnervating nerve fibres.
  • (2) Treatment termination due to lack of efficacy or combined insufficient therapeutic response and toxicity proved to be influenced by the initial disease activity and by the rank order of prescription.
  • (3) "The Samaras government has proved to be dangerous; it cannot continue handling the country's fate."
  • (4) 119 representatives of this population were checked in their sexual contacts; of these, 13 persons proved to be infected with HIV.
  • (5) Basing the prediction of student performance in medical school on intellective-cognitive abilities alone has proved to be more pertinent to academic achievement than to clinical practice.
  • (6) Well tolerated from the clinical and laboratory points of view, it proved remarkably effective.
  • (7) It arguably became too comfortable for Rodgers' team, with complacency and slack defending proving a dangerous brew.
  • (8) She was organised, good with people, very grown up and quickly proved herself to be indispensable.
