What's the difference between explicate and explicative?

Explicate


Definition:

  • (a.) Evolved; unfolded.
  • (v. t.) To unfold; to expand; to lay open.
  • (v. t.) To unfold the meaning or sense of; to explain; to clear of difficulties or obscurity; to interpret.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Comparison of these hybrid viruses with the parent A(2) strains provided evidence that all the cross-reactivity of the Hong Kong strain with previous A(2) viruses is explicable on the basis of its similar neuraminidase component.
  • (2) The model suggests that the diversity of beat phenotype may be explicable by changes in the timing of switching between active and inactive states of doublet arm activity.
  • (3) The pathogenesis of both syndromes may be explicable by the fact that soluble parasitic allergens bind to cellules of the respiratory tract and induce hypersensitivity reactions under the influence of reagins.
  • (4) Within science, there are forces that weaken genuine scientific discussion, and these need at least to be explicated so that their deleterious effects can be minimized.
  • (5) The confidence that one can have in the basic finding of hyperserotonemia in autism and the potential benefits to be derived from its explication make further research in this area of great interest.
  • (6) Separate groups of rabbits received explicity unpaired presentations of stimuli (tone alone, light alone and shock alone).
  • (7) The reduced response is explicable in terms of excessive numbers of suppressor cells in old spleens that can prevent young immunocompetent cells from responding maximally to the test antigen.
  • (8) The changes in C(eff) observed under conditions of moderately high K-conductance are explicable as a result of potential decrements in the transverse tubules, which would be expected when the wall conductance there is high, and the conductivity of the tubule lumen is low.
  • (9) Seemingly different interpretations of foot malformations are thereby explicable.
  • (10) A series of blood pressure measurements (averaged) improved the predictability somewhat but this seemed to be fully explicable by the greater stability of an average of several measurements as against a single measurement.
  • (11) The metaphor of clinical work as textual explication, however, creates the expectation that there is a text somewhere to be found.
  • (12) The small figure may easily be explicable on the assumption that the natural onset of spasm is chronologically superposed by chance over immunizations which have to be done within the first year of life.
  • (13) The article deals with a rather rare pathology of the 1st cervical vertebra (Kimmerle anomaly), which frequently may lead to rather serious, and sometimes hardly explicable changes in vertebrobasilar circulation.
  • (14) The resultant rise of brain tryptophan was explicable largely by the associated fall in large neutral amino acids.
  • (15) The present findings explicate those of earlier studies in suggesting that male patients higher in social problem-solving ability are not only likely to be more socially competent, but also are more likely to be less severely impaired in terms of psychopathology.
  • (16) Since Freud's (1911) explication of the nature of paranoia, much has been written concerning the dynamic underpinnings of the illness but less have been detailed regarding its manifestations structurally.
  • (17) These angular illusions were not explicable by the addition of tilt illusions (experiment 6), suggesting that different judgmental processes may underlie orientation and angle estimation.
  • (18) This fact explicates the presence of imidoxon only in small concentrations after application of imidan.
  • (19) These results strongly suggest that the increased regional cerebral blood flow induced by BY-1949 is explicable, at least partly, in terms of a preferential elevation of cyclic GMP within the cerebral vasculature, where the endothelium plays a pivotal role.
  • (20) It is argued that while the results show the influence of the visual surround on children's comprehension of 'falling over', this may not be wholly explicable in terms of surround contour matching, as conventionally correct judgements were obtained in the absence of all straight line contours in the immediate surround.
