What's the difference between feasible and passible?

Feasible


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being done, executed, or effected; practicable.
  • (a.) Fit to be used or tailed, as land.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Results in May 89 emphasizes: the relevance and urgency of the prevention of AIDS in secondary schools; the importance of the institutional aspect for the continuity of the project; the involvement of the pupils and the trainers for the processus; the feasibility of an intervention using only local resources.
  • (2) Such an approach to investigations into subclinical mastitis is not feasible by means of either single- or double-parameter techniques.
  • (3) 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.
  • (4) A previous trial into the safety and feasibility of using bone marrow stem cells to treat MS, led by Neil Scolding, a clinical neuroscientist at Bristol University, was deemed a success last year.
  • (5) Both demonstrated concurrent validity and feasibility.
  • (6) We studied the feasibility of using RNA and DNA from autopsies for Northern and Southern blot analysis.
  • (7) Interexaminer reliability studies indicate that a standard method of motion palpation is quite feasible and accurate.
  • (8) The feasibility of estimating these parameters, demonstrated by the present study, suggests that a recursive least squares estimation procedure could be used to recover the time variation of each parameter during exercise stress testing of subjects with normal or nearly normal gas exchange.
  • (9) In blood, ablation of porcine aorta was feasible at a distance of 3 mm.
  • (10) Therefore, it is feasible that there is a good correlation with alteration of insulin sensitivity and insulin binding.
  • (11) It appears that irrespective of the elucidation of the nature of the putative aetiological factor (presumed to be viral) in MS, the arrest and reversal of T cell-related events within the CNS in this devastating condition represent feasible goals and should remain a major target for some time to come.
  • (12) The signals after lyophilization reflect biochemical differences between tumour and muscle; spectroscopic data indicate that it is feasible to determine the molecular basis of these differences.
  • (13) If, as in most cases, the feasibility of various methods (exposure to chemical products, monoclonal antibodies and complement-dependent cytolysis, immuno-magnetic procedures) has been confirmed, no study to date has shown the efficacy.
  • (14) The direct measurement of adiposity, using hydrostatic weighing and other techniques, is not feasible in studies involving young children or with large numbers of older subjects.
  • (15) The feasibility of using fluorescent ISH for sexing biopsied embryos in couples at risk of X-linked disease and for the preimplantation diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities is discussed.
  • (16) The DRG principle, however, is feasible and has important management benefits; it is recommended that locally determined DRG weightings be developed, and that other hospitals explore their use in peer review of resource management, costing and pricing.
  • (17) The feasibility of early discharge on the day following surgery was studied in a prospective manner in 29 consecutive breast cancer patients; 27 underwent unilateral modified radical mastectomy and 2 bilateral mastectomies by a single surgeon.
  • (18) Because of the relatively high levels of endogenous TH in tadpoles during climax, the use of an in vivo saturation assay employing [125I]T3 was not feasible.
  • (19) The identification of high-risk patient subgroups is possible, and it is feasible to link this data base with clinical and biochemical data.
  • (20) Significantly, their derivation demonstrates the feasibility of immortalizing differentiated neurons by targeting tumorigenesis in transgenic mice to specific neurons of the CNS.

Passible


Definition:

  • (a.) Susceptible of feeling or suffering, or of impressions from external agents.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The degree of the filling up and the dilation of the gall bladder, its functional state as well as the passibility of d. cysticus are evaluated by ultrasound examination and computer determination of the surface and dimensions of the gall bladder.
  • (2) Gemeprost treatment increased free passibility (the size of the largest dilator which could be passed without encountering resistance) (P < 0.01), reduced the forces required to dilate the cervix (P < 0.01) reduced blood loss (P < 0.05), reduced the collagen concentration (P < 0.01) and was associated with a modest neutrophil influx (P < 0.02) as compared to placebo.
  • (3) Such finding is assessed, and the possibility that the diarrhea frequently found in animals infested by such parasites may be caused by the action of their own prostaglandins on the intestinal smooth musculature of the animals, as well as the passibility that the agents inhibitory of the prostaglandin synthesis may be used in the treatment of such parasitosis are expressed.
  • (4) The test allows the assessment of the functional state of the gall bladder, the passibility of d. cysticus, the degree and mechanism of the filling up of the gall bladder and the bile ducts with bile.
