What's the difference between impractical and mobile?

Impractical


Definition:

  • (a.) Not practical.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) Every modern government returned with a majority looks to take advantage of its first few months when the opposition is in disarray by ditching some impractical pledges (“taking out the trash” in the parlance of special advisers), pushing through unpopular measures, maybe adding some nasty ones, while seeking to establish a narrative that will cause their electoral rivals difficulties once they have finished mourning the poll win that never came.
  • (16) Although it is desirable that tests predict the presence of small tumours, the high requirements for sensitivity and specificity at current prevalence rates for lung cancer make this goal impractical.
  • (17) Although usable portal images can be acquired, presence of the large mirror renders the system impractical in many treatment geometries.
  • (18) It has a place in patients in whom endoscopic or radiological placement is impractical.
  • (19) The previously published procedure for calculation of rate constants associated with the death of microbial cells is shown to be so sensitive to variation in experimental data as to render it impractical for this application.
  • (20) Extensive overlap between male and female heart rates under normal and hypothermic conditions makes this technique an industrially impractical method for determining embryonic sex.

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.
