What's the difference between imposition and stringency?

Imposition


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of imposing, laying on, affixing, enjoining, inflicting, obtruding, and the like.
  • (n.) That which is imposed, levied, or enjoined; charge; burden; injunction; tax.
  • (n.) An extra exercise enjoined on students as a punishment.
  • (n.) An excessive, arbitrary, or unlawful exaction; hence, a trick or deception put on laid on others; cheating; fraud; delusion; imposture.
  • (n.) The act of laying on the hands as a religious ceremoy, in ordination, confirmation, etc.
  • (n.) The act or process of imosing pages or columns of type. See Impose, v. t., 4.

  • (18) The imposition of fasting on diabetic animals tended to further decrease IGF-I mRNA levels, and fasting alone also decreased IGF-I mRNA abundance in the three tissues (P less than 0.05).
  • (19) The imposition of an inwardly directed pH gradient (5.5 outside, 7.5 inside) accelerated both the influx and efflux of L-glutamate.
  • (20) In a lengthy statement Unite said: "The imposition of a regime of 'special measures' on the CLP [Constituency Labour Party], are unnecessary and are at best an extreme over-reaction, at worst the product of an anti-union agenda."

Stringency


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or state of being stringent.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Moreover, nick-translated [32-P]-pCS75, which is a pUC9 derivative containing a PstI insert with L and S subunit genes (for RuBisCO) from A. nidulans, hybridizes at very high stringency with restriction fragments from chromosomal DNA of untransformed and transformed cells as does the 32P-labeled PstI fragment itself.
  • (2) However, the tetM probe had a much lower sensitivity and required a lower stringency of hybridization.
  • (3) No homology was noted between the DNA of 10 tetracycline-resistant isolates of campylobacter and the streptococcal tetL, tetM, or tetN determinants when tested under conditions of high stringency.
  • (4) A procedure is provided to adjust the level of the 95th-percentile standard so that the stringency of the present standard is preserved.
  • (5) Eight of the lesions contained HPV DNA sequences, and in six of these the sequences were related to HPV 16 as deduced from low-stringency nucleic acid hybridization followed by low- and high-stringency washes.
  • (6) However, under conditions of low stringency, the DUG S and M RNA probes hybridised to the respective S and M segments of Ganjam (GAN) virus (another member of the NSD serogroup).
  • (7) Possibly due to the stringency of requirements for culturing such plasmacytomas, a highly advantageous combination of components was developed.
  • (8) When 3 to 5 stringency conditions were assayed on 4 frozen samples, similar results were obtained.
  • (9) At reduced stringency, a probe to the 3' HVR detects a new family of multiallelic loci that will be of value in the study of human genetics.
  • (10) This is consistent with the concept that stringency and inhibition of protein synthesis affect the rate of utilization rather than the synthesis of these ribonucleotide residues.
