Finicky


Definition:

  • (a.) Finical; unduly particular.

  • (19) Just as the sensory loss after lateral hypothalamic damage contributes to the aphagia and decreased aggressive behavior of such rats, it seems that increased responsiveness to sensory stimuli plays a role in the syndrome of hyperphagia, finickiness, and increased aggressiveness seen after medial hypothalamic damage.
  • (20) Extrahypothalamic lesions of central trigeminal structures produce a syndrome of aphagia, adipsia, finickiness, and food spillage.

Mobile


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being moved; not fixed in place or condition; movable.
  • (a.) Characterized by an extreme degree of fluidity; moving or flowing with great freedom; as, benzine and mercury are mobile liquids; -- opposed to viscous, viscoidal, or oily.
  • (a.) Easily moved in feeling, purpose, or direction; excitable; changeable; fickle.
  • (a.) Changing in appearance and expression under the influence of the mind; as, mobile features.
  • (a.) Capable of being moved, aroused, or excited; capable of spontaneous movement.
  • (a.) The mob; the populace.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It was found that linear extrapolations of log k' versus ET(30) plots to the polarity of unmodified aqueous mobile phase gave a more reliable value of log k'w than linear regressions of log k' versus volume percent.
  • (2) The mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is anomalous since the undenatured, cross-linked proteins have the same Stokes radius as the native, uncross-linked alpha beta gamma heterotrimer.
  • (3) It is likely that trunk mobility is necessary to maintain integrity of SI joint and that absence of such mobility compromises SI joint structure in many paraplegics.

  • (7) The following model is suggested: exogenous ATP interacts with a membrane receptor in the presence of Ca2+, a cascade of events occurs which mobilizes intracellular calcium, thereby increasing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration which consequently opens the calcium-activated K+ channels, which then leads to a change in membrane potential.
  • (8) Sequence specific binding of protein extracts from 13 different yeast species to three oligonucleotide probes and two points mutants derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA binding proteins were tested using mobility shift assays.
