(a.) Having inflections; capable of, or subject to, inflection; inflective.
Example Sentences:
(1) An initial complex-soma inflection was observed on the rising phase of the action potential of some cells.
(2) When she speaks, it is in a quiet, clear voice that is middle-class but also flat and London-inflected enough to seem almost classless: it is the voice of the modern southern English professional.
(3) We conclude from these six studies that: (a) BN presents a counter-example to the claim that non-fluent patients have particular difficulty with those aspects of morphology which have a syntactic function; (b) BN processes both derived and inflected words by mapping the sensory input onto the entire full-form of a complex word, but the semantic and syntactic content of the stem alone is accessed and integrated into the context.
(4) The Hill plots of all resonances of the imidazole rings, including the 15N resonances, show a small inflection in the pH range 5.8-6.4.
(5) Two of the three inflection points occurring in the voltammograms are invariant with changes in scan rate, pH, CO2, O2, and glucose.
(6) With prose that takes the English language and infuses it with inflections and a history that is uniquely Igbo, discernibly Nigerian and unmistakably African, Achebe's is a realism that ensures the enduring relevance of his fiction.
(7) We measured the pressure-volume curves (PV curves) of the lung simultaneously at three levels in the esophagus below the tracheal bifurcation using the three-short-balloon-catheter system in 11 normal seated men and compared the inflection points (IP's) of three PV curves with the closing volume (CV) on the single-breath nitrogen washout curve.
(8) Stimulation of secretion of preloaded 125I-mannose-N-acetyl-poly-D-lysine by mannose-BSA was more pronounced at lower temperatures with a sharp inflection point at 10 degrees C. These findings suggest that endosomes containing newly internalized mannose-BSA interact with the exocytosis pathway and enhance secretion of 125I-mannose-N-acetyl-poly-D-lysine from lysosomes.
(9) The inflection in plasma epinephrine shifted in an identical manner and occurred simultaneously with that of TLa (r = 0.97) regardless of the testing protocol or training status.
(10) As the Big Dog waltzed through a thicket of policy points, dropping drawl-inflected catchphrases, the teleprompter stuttered.
(11) The contours of the major components of the far-field CMAPs were frequently interrupted by a series of small amplitude negative and positive peaks or inflections.
(12) Surface tension graphs were similar to those of conventional surfactants, showing apparent critical micelle concentrations (cmc) at distinct inflection points.
(13) The absence of an inflection point show that surface EMG does not provide an indication of Tlac.
(14) The clear inflection point at 3 x 10(-6) M (25 degrees C) observed in the surface tension-concentration curve may not represent the CMC for the formation of multimolecular aggregates.
(15) Thermotolerance was identified from the appearance of an inflection in the survival curve or from the loss of heat resistance in the presence of chloramphenicol (CAM) or rifampicin.
(16) The use of the inflection point is discussed thoroughly, concluding that although it does not allow exclusion of the existence of genotypically different subgroups, the limitations of the data do not permit its use to determine the number of heterozygotes and thus the existence of polymorphism.
(17) On the other hand, the number of groups corresponding to the second inflection is slightly increased.
(18) Parameter estimates are obtained from estimates of the size and time at the point of inflection, the size and time at any other arbitrarily selected point, and the maximum size.
(19) The conversational features within the transcript included the interruptions, pauses, overlaps, inflections, and turn shapes as structured by the participants.
(20) Type II is a spike of short duration (mean 2.0 msec) with only an inflection on the falling phase.
Polysynthetic
Definition:
(a.) Characterized by polysynthesis; agglutinative.
Example Sentences:
(1) Lysenyl-forte, a derivative of polysynthetic ergot alkaloids, producing a dopaminergic and antiserotoninergic action was employed to treat acromegaly and prolactin hypersecretion in 11 and 71 patients, respectively.
(2) Polysynthetic languages can present special extraction puzzles to children, due to the length of their words.
