Unitary
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a unit or units; relating to unity; as, the unitary method in arithmetic.
(a.) Of the nature of a unit; not divided; united.
Example Sentences:
(1) On the other hand, changing pH on only one side by addition of an impermeant buffer fails to induce any change in n. At the single-channel level, pH had an effect both on the unitary conductance, doubling it in going from pH 4.5 to 8.2, as well as on the fraction of time the channels stay open, F(v).
(2) The neuromuscular junctions in submaxillaris muscle fibers are bouton-like or longer branched contacts; and the unitary currents in the bouton junctions have a slower time course.
(3) The pattern of results obtained in the present experiments supports the following conclusions: In old rats, individual Schaffer collateral synapses do not appear to have altered AMPA receptor properties, as neither the mean size of the unitary synaptic response nor the apparent quantal size differs between age groups; however, the data do support the conclusion that there are fewer synapses per Schaffer collateral branch in old versus young CA1 pyramidal cells.
(4) At stake is voting for a third of the council seats in each of the 36 English metropolitan districts; a third of seats in 16 unitary authorities (plus two, Hartlepool and Swindon where all seats are voting, due to boundary changes); and various proportions of the seats in 74 shire districts (63 by thirds, seven for half the seats, and four all-out).
(5) The unitary responses to the gastric vagal and greater splanchnic fibers stimulation were bilaterally distributed in the ventral and dorsal tegmental nuclei.
(6) The unitary excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) sustained for long observation periods, and increased in size with increases in stimulus frequency and in external Ca2+ concentration.
(7) The normalized quantal size varied randomly, with a mean value of 0.51% (SD = 0.20) and was relatively independent of n. In contrast, the distribution of p, which ranged from 0.17 to 0.74 (mean = 0.40, SD = 0.155), was skewed to the right; this parameter tended to decrease as a function of increasing n. The normalized unitary inhibitory conductance (g'IPSP) underlying an IPSP is equal to the product of npg'q, where g'q is the normalized quantal conductance.
(8) Most critical are (a) how hardiness is to be measured; (b) whether hardiness should be treated as a unitary phenomenon or as three separate phenomena associated with commitment, control, and challenge; and (c) whether hardiness has direct effects on health or indirect effects by virtue of buffering the impact of stressful life events.
(9) Quinine applied on the intracellular side of the membrane in micromolar concentrations chopped the unitary K+ currents into bursts of brief openings.

(11) Three different types of unitary Ca2+ channel activity could be distinguished in these recordings.
(12) Stimuli given simultaneously to the two sites elicited less unitary activity than the sum of the unitary activity evoked by the two stimuli separately.
(13) Since tolerance in group 1 was not always accompanied by a tolerance in group 3, an acute tolerance to ethanol is unlikely as an unitary explanation to the tolerance induced by the barbital treatment, which instead seem to be part of much more complex changes.

(16) Although gj recorded in these experiments would be expected to be provided by current flowing through only a few channels of the unitary conductance previously reported for other gap junctions, no unitary junctional currents were observed even during reversible suppression of gj by octanol.
(17) Based on the intra- and extracellular unitary records, N-1 was identified as the population spike of antidromically or directly activated unitary discharges and N-2 as that of orthodromically activated discharges.
(18) Using spinal cord slices prepared from adult rats, we recorded unitary cell discharges, evoked by local stimulation of the adjacent site, extracellularly in the motor nuclei of the ventral horn.
(19) From the properties of these and of a purified non-NMDA receptor, and the pharmacology of the native responses to AMPA and kainate, the authors conclude that multiple non-NMDA subtypes exist and that one of these is a unitary receptor that can respond to both kainate and AMPA.
(20) By means of an extracellular glass microelectrode method, unitary discharges synchronized with the grouping discharges in the pelvic vesical branch with a rhythm of 2.2-2.5 Hz were recorded from the pontine micturition center in the dorsolateral pontine tegmentum.
