  • (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.

  • (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.

Explicatory


Definition:

  • (a.) Explicative.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) However, in order to preserve their explicatory power, they require valid and reliable definitions of all variables involved--not only independent and dependent variables, but also mediating variables--as well as clear hypothesis on their relationships.
