What's the difference between insensitive and intensitive?
Insensitive
Definition:
(a.) Not sensitive; wanting sensation, or wanting acute sensibility.

(15) The chemical shifts of the C-2 proton of histidine 48 and of the C-4 proton of histidine 80, histidine residues that are close to one another and to another heterosaccharide side chain, show a similar insensitivity.
(16) Activity was insensitive to oxygen and CO if the substrates had no additional substituents on either ring or contained only electron-donating substituents.
(17) In some cases (approximately equal to 10%) the mechanism of androgen insensitivity could not be identified.
(18) We found the incorporated channels to be insensitive to calcium and octanol, and in most cases to pH in the range of 5-7, suggesting that either these agents do not interact directly with the junctional channels or that the corresponding gating regions are inactivated during the isolation and reconstitution procedures.
(19) The cattle filarial parasite Setaria digitata, a facultative anaerobe which is reported to be cyanide insensitive, lacks cytochromes and presents many unique characters.
(20) V0 estimates derived from the low load portion were positive and relatively insensitive to Ees.
Intensitive
Definition:
(a.) Increasing the force or intensity of; intensive; as, the intensitive words of a sentence.
Example Sentences:
(1) Moreover, BE125I release was intensitive to cytochalasin B, microtubules and metabolic inhibitors, and decreased only with temperature.
(2) Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine exhibits a sharp phase transition 1 degree wide at 42 degrees C, as monitored by the fluorescence intensit of parinaric acid.
(3) The intensit and the prevalence of caries were greater in girls than in boys.
(4) To study lateralization of these signals, an acoustic pointing task was employed in which listeners varied the interaural intensitive disparity of a narrow band of noise (the pointer) so that it matched the position of a second, experimenter-controlled stimulus (the target) which contained symmetric interaural delays of only the envelope.
(5) Let vk(x) be the force of mortality when only risk Rk is acting in a population, and let muk(x) be the force of mortality due to Rk when all of the risks of death are acting, k = 1, ---, c. On the assumption of the independence of the risks of death, the sum of intensitives vk(x) equals the total force of mortality.
(6) The ouabain-sensitive and ouabain-intensitive ATP-ases of intact lymphocytes, and of the lymphocyte microsomal fraction and a purified plasma membrane fraction, are all activated by concanavalin A.
(7) The author studied evoked potentials of 5 different intensitities to electroskin stimula in normals and psychopathic personalities of a hysterical type.
(8) An achromatic surface in a complex scene has both an apparent reflectance attribute (lightness) and an overall intensitive attribute (brightness).
(9) However, at high alcohol concentrations, up to 50% of ethanol uptake is 4-methylpyrazole-intensitive.
(10) In this study we employed an acoustic "pointing" task in which listeners varied the interaural intensitive difference of a 500-Hz narrow-band noise (the pointer) so that it matched the intracranial position of a second, experimenter-controlled stimulus (the target).
(11) The data suggest that concomitant variations of spatial, temporal, and intensitive components of a vibrotactile stimulus "package" can produce systematic perceptual effects of potential significance in the design of vibrotactile sensory substitution systems.
(12) Each interneuronal action potential also produces a zero-latency, Mg-intensitive electrotonic coupling potential in one cholinergic and electrotonic input from the interneurons.
(13) WISH cell cultures were irradiated 24 h after passage with 3 GHz microwaves for 30 min at intensites of 5 or 20 mW cm-2.
(14) When functioning normally, the dopaminergic AC of the cat's retina appears to make the receptive field of the off-center cell more sustained and may make its spatial summation characteristics more linear while adjusting the intensitive properties of neurons in both the on- and off-center pathways.
(15) To this end, an acoustic pointing task was employed in which listeners varied the interaural intensitive difference of a 500-Hz narrow-band noise (the pointer) so that the position of its intracranial image matched that of a second, experimenter-controlled stimulus (the target).
(16) Proteinchemical analysis of the amino acid replacement in protein S5 of strain N421 (carrying the striN421 allele) has shown that an arginine residue is replaced by leucine which results in the appearance of a trypsin intensitive bond between the tryptic peptides T2 and T16.
(17) The authors carried out studies on 425 pig cornea, conserved in a modified solution for tissue cultures at 4 degrees C. The intensitivity for incorporation of Na235SO4 in this nutritive medium gave higher percentage than the preservation of cornea in moist chamber.
