What's the difference between heterogeneity and heterogeneous?

Heterogeneity


Definition:

  • (n.) The state of being heterogeneous; contrariety.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Size analysis of the solubilized IgA IP employing sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, indicated that these were heterogeneous, with a size generally larger than 19 S.
  • (2) Over the past decade the use of monoclonal antibodies has greatly advanced our knowledge of the biological properties and heterogeneity that exist within human tumours, and in particular in lung cancer.
  • (3) The 0.1 M phosphate buffer eluant was electrophoretically heterogeneous and did not elicit the production of bactericidal antibodies in rabbits.
  • (4) HCECs display an unusual combination of cytokeratin IFs and neurofilaments, together with vimentin, and are heterogeneous with respect to their IF makeup.
  • (5) mycoides cluster' at a similarity level (S) of 66% and which remained undivided at up to 78% S. At higher similarity levels, these strains fell heterogeneously into mixed sub-phenons containing strains of both subspecies.
  • (6) Much information has accumulated on the isolation and characterization of a heterogeneous group of molecules that inhibit one or more of the bioactivities of interleukin 1.
  • (7) The combined results suggest that any possible heterogeneity in the L-CAM genes is not reflected in the size of either the mRNA or protein.
  • (8) The diagnosis of "autism" has been used to encompass a heterogeneous group of children who may differ in etiology, clinical manifestations, prognosis, and needed treatment.
  • (9) Osteogenesis imperfecta is the common term for a heterogeneous group of heritable disorders of connective tissue with lethal and nonlethal forms.
  • (10) High pressure liquid chromatography combined with radioimmunoassay showed marked heterogeneity of SPLI and SLI.
  • (11) The heterogeneity of obesity may be demonstrated by the shape of fat distribution and the prolactin response to insulin hypoglycaemia.
  • (12) The antibody-hapten profiles revealed that the DNCB-fed animalss contained predominatly IgG2 in their serum by the time of their initial bleedings, whereas sensitized animals still contained a considerable proportion of more acidic antibodies having marked charge heterogeneity.
  • (13) We detected no evidence for heterogeneity in this sample, but when we combined results with previously published lod scores, heterogeneity was statistically significant.
  • (14) The operational meaning of all the resulting theorems is that when any of them appear to be refuted experimentally, the presence of more than one parallel transport pathway (that is, of membrane heterogeneity transverse to the direction of transport) can be inferred and analyzed.
  • (15) Possible interpretations of this manifestation of biological heterogeneity are discussed.
  • (16) The heterogeneity of the muscarinic receptors was examined both in vivo and in radioligand binding experiments.
  • (17) This work shows that during 3MeDAB hepatocarcinogenesis, AFP gene activation occurs in heterogenous cell populations and according to different cellular patterns.
  • (18) The resistance to cephalosporins of 48 heterogeneous methicillin-resistant strains ("RH" mutants) of Staphylococcus pyogenes var.
  • (19) Results indicate that nystatin is distributed heterogeneously in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • (20) The major scrapie prion protein, designated PrP 27-30, exhibited both charge and size heterogeneity after purification from infected hamster brains.

Heterogeneous


Definition:

  • (a.) Differing in kind; having unlike qualities; possessed of different characteristics; dissimilar; -- opposed to homogeneous, and said of two or more connected objects, or of a conglomerate mass, considered in respect to the parts of which it is made up.
