What's the difference between faster and laster?

Faster


Definition:

  • (n.) One who abstains from food.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) However, the groups often paused less and responded faster than individual rats working under identical conditions.
  • (2) Photograph: Guardian The research also compiled data covered by a wider definition of tax haven, including onshore jurisdictions such as the US state of Delaware – accused by the Cayman islands of playing "faster and looser" even than offshore jurisdictions – and the Republic of Ireland, which has come under sustained pressure from other EU states to reform its own low-tax, light-tough, regulatory environment.
  • (3) This is interpreted to mean that the release of fructose from the central complex is faster than the isomerization of the E-NADH complex.
  • (4) The data show that whenever the two half components correspond to different RTs, the resulting RT equates that of the faster component.
  • (5) Time-resolved tyrosine fluorescence anisotropy shows global correlation times broadly in agreement with the NMR results, but with an additional faster correlation time [approximately 600 ps].
  • (6) Formula fed infants retained more nitrogen and gained weight faster.
  • (7) The junctional currents were already constant 1 ms after step changes in the junctional voltage; this was three orders of magnitude faster than the other known examples of voltage-controlled gap junctions between embryonic cells.
  • (8) In Experiment 1 (summer), hens regained body weight more rapidly, returned to production faster, and had larger egg weights (Weeks 1 to 4) when fed the 16 or 13% CP molt diets than when fed the 10% CP molt diet.
  • (9) Mean run time and total ST time were faster with CE (by 1.4 and 1.2 min) although not significantly different (P less than 0.06 and P less than 0.10) from P. Subjects reported no significant difference in nausea, fullness, or stomach upset with CE compared to P. General physiological responses were similar for each drink during 2 h of multi-modal exercise in the heat; however, blood glucose, carbohydrate utilization, and exercise intensity at the end of a ST may be increased with CE fluid replacement.
  • (10) After cessation of exposures, HEVal was lost faster than predicted by the normal erythrocyte life span alone.
  • (11) Between-group responsivity differences suggest developmental retardation in term (38-42 weeks) SGA newborns, but the faster SGA latencies may reflect 'induced' acceleration in auditory neurophysiologic function.
  • (12) When approximately 80% of the myosin light chain was thiophosphorylated, the nucleoside diphosphate exchange occurred at a much faster rate and was almost complete in 2 min.
  • (13) The more resistant cell lines (D0 greater than 1.8 Gy) had faster growth rates and larger proportions of cells in S phase in asynchronous cultures.
  • (14) In conclusion results from this study indicate a positive effect of Venoruton in SVT in determining a faster decrease of hyperthermic areas probably by decreasing local inflammation.
  • (15) Fatigue developed significantly faster with contractions of short duration, and the energy cost was higher.
  • (16) With the faster rate of proliferation there was a corresponding increase in virulence.
  • (17) An analysis of 54 protein sequences from humans and rodents (mice or rats), with the chicken as an outgroup, indicates that, from the common ancestor of primates and rodents, 35 of the proteins have evolved faster in the lineage to mouse or rat (rodent lineage) whereas only 12 proteins have evolved faster in the lineage to humans (human lineage).
  • (18) Forty percent of newly synthesized chains eluted on gel filtration as a lower molecular weight (LMW) shoulder and in vivo turned over faster than the larger species.
  • (19) Intramuscular immunisation produced a faster but less sustained response than subcutaneous injections.
  • (20) The faster oxidation of the photoreduced cytochrome after NADPH-Fd reduction of heme ba indicates that the oxidation of ba and bp may be cooperative.

Laster


Definition:

  • (n.) A workman whose business it is to shape boots or shoes, or place leather smoothly, on lasts; a tool for stretching leather on a last.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Whereas the native CryIC toxin is completely protease resistant, the CryIA(b) toxin, earlier described as consisting of two structural domains [Convents, D., Houssier, C., Lasters, I.
  • (2) Etidocaine hydrochloride 1% plain caused a slower onset of block, laster longer and produced more profound analgesia over the caudal dermatomes than did 2% lignocaine hydrochloride.
  • (3) On histologic examination, the excimer laster created a single round lumen or multiple lumens ("Swiss-cheese" like appearance) with no evidence of thermal injury at the perimeter of the lumen.
  • (4) We didn’t even see them coming,” said Laster, the clinic’s administrator.
