What's the difference between hypersthene and pyroxene?
Hypersthene
Definition:
(n.) An orthorhombic mineral of the pyroxene group, of a grayish or greenish black color, often with a peculiar bronzelike luster (schiller) on the cleavage surface.
Example Sentences:
(1) In most of the cases the premorbid personality and the character during the state of remission had hypersthenic traits.
(2) The study yielded some particular clinical variants of the remissions: asthenic, hyperthymic-hypersthenic, explosive and paranoid.
(3) In the asthenics, the artery begins lower than in the normosthenics and still lower than in the hypersthenics.
(4) The initial stages are characterized by hypersthenic processes in the psychic activity and hypersympathicotonus in the vegetative functions.
(5) Coinhibition of interferon induction by silicates (Min-U-Sil, DQ-12, hypersthene, or wollastonite) and the bioactivated hydrocarbon was not in evidence although some silicates alone partially inhibited the induction process.
(6) Proceeding from the data of the exercise tests and analysis of the frequency of combinations of certain forms of CHD in persons belonging to different somatotypes a conclusion has been drawn that CHD runs a graver course in hypersthenic patients.
(7) It has also been shown by means of multidimensional analysis that just like RF such as AH, hypercholesterolemia and tobacco smoking, the hypersthenic build up makes a separate and significant contribution to the onset of CHD.
(8) In 59 patients with shift-like schizophrenia above 60 years the author studied some clinical traits and the development of long-term (10--20 years and more) hypersthenic, paranoial and psycopath-like remissions.
(9) At the age of 55--65 the patients displayed a long-term stable condition with a monotonous (mainly hypersthenic) mood, rudimentary psychotic symptoms, certain personality abnormalities, an increased level of social adaptation and working capacity.
Pyroxene
Definition:
(n.) A common mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, with a prismatic angle of nearly 90ยก, and also in massive forms which are often laminated. It varies in color from white to dark green and black, and includes many varieties differing in color and composition, as diopside, malacolite, salite, coccolite, augite, etc. They are all silicates of lime and magnesia with sometimes alumina and iron. Pyroxene is an essential constituent of many rocks, especially basic igneous rocks, as basalt, gabbro, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) A laboratory study of the interaction of H2O frost with samples of the minerals olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 and pyroxene (Mg,Fe)SiO3 at -11 degrees C to -22 degrees C revealed that an acidic oxidant was produced.
