What's the difference between irrotational and rotation?

Irrotational


Definition:

  • (a.) Not rotatory; passing from one point to another by a movement other than rotation; -- said of the movement of parts of a liquid or yielding mass.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We suggest that pronounced increase in tissue relaxivity results from irrotationally bound Mn2+, ostensibly associated with the polar head groups of cell membranes.
  • (2) In the context of this model the relaxation time data imply that type III, or irrotationally bound water, is altered during the sickling process.
  • (3) The dielectric properties of the hydrated protein above 100 MHz have been used to identify two categories of protein-bound water, the first being irrotationally bound to the protein with a second, relatively weakly bound, having a rotational freedom comparable with that of normal bulk water.
  • (4) Based on previous NMR studies of homopolypeptides we designated these subfractions as superbound, irrotationally bound, rotationally bound, and structured.
  • (5) Moreover, from the form of the NMRD profiles of liver, it is clear that the Mn2+ ions are bound irrotationally, perhaps to cell membrane, and, when introduced in chelated form, can become separated even from strongly associated chelate complexes.
  • (6) Ninety-seven percent of the muscle water exhibits a single transverse relaxation time of 35 milliseconds: one water molecule per thousand, which is briefly and irrotationally bound, will produce the observed relaxation properties.
  • (7) When resting fluid starts to flow, the initial fluid motion is practically irrotational.
  • (8) The flow of epithelial cells over villi of mouse small intestine is calculated from equations of cell number balance and irrotational flow.
  • (9) The tissue movement has been found to behave as an irrotational flow of material.
  • (10) Most important, the fluorescence polarization increases by a factor of 2, to almost the irrotational value, when fMet-tRNAfMet binds to the ribosomal P site, providing a useful tool for studying fMet-tRNAfMet-ribosome interaction equilibria and kinetics.

Rotation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of turning, as a wheel or a solid body on its axis, as distinguished from the progressive motion of a revolving round another body or a distant point; thus, the daily turning of the earth on its axis is a rotation; its annual motion round the sun is a revolution.
  • (n.) Any return or succesion in a series.
  • (a.) Pertaining to, or resulting from, rotation; of the nature of, or characterized by, rotation; as, rotational velocity.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) To determine the accuracy of double-contrast arthrography in complete rotator cuff tears, we studied 805 patients thought to have a complete rotator cuff tear who had undergone double-contrast shoulder arthrography (DCSA) between 1978 and 1983.
  • (2) When the posterior capsule was sectioned, no significant changes were noted in the severity of the sag or the rotation.
  • (3) The Ta loop was a smooth, elongated ellipse in configuration and showed clockwise rotation in all planes, as did the P loop.
  • (4) With this system, a brain region loaded with fura-2 was illuminated by a rotating disc bearing three different interference filters of 340, 360 and 380 nm at a rate of 600 rpm.
  • (5) The automatic half of both the motor which advances the trepan as well as the second motor which rotates the trepan is triggered by the sudden change in electrical resistance between the trepan and the patient's internal body fluid, at the final stage of penetration.
  • (6) This series of tests included tests for pathologic nystagmus, saccades, smooth pursuit, and optokinetic nystagmus, as well as bithermal caloric testing and rotational testing.
  • (7) The adherence of 51Cr-labeled platelets to rabbit aortae everted on probes rotated in platelet-red cell suspensions has been measured.
  • (8) We have used a modification of the rotating-frame imaging technique to measure PCr-to-ATP ratio non-invasively in human heart.
  • (9) Experimental evidence suggested that nucleosome rotational positioning is determined by the DNA sequence itself.
  • (10) The X-ray tube rotates outside the detector array at the rate of one revolution per second.
  • (11) The data collection scheme for the scanner uses multiple rotations of a linearly shifted, asymmetric fan beam permitting user-defined variable resolution.
  • (12) The purity and configuration of each isomer of the free acid and N-chloroacetylated derivative were ascertained by: (a) paper chromatography in five solvent systems, (b) elemental analysis, (c) Van Slyke nitrous acid determination of alpha-carbonyl carbon, and (d) Van Slyke ninhydrin determination of alpha-carbonyl carbon, and (e) optical rotation.
  • (13) Based on our experience with the mark I prosthesis we have designed and developed a mark II model which has freedom of axial rotation of the saddle.
  • (14) The reported study demonstrates that performance asymmetries between normal or reflected letters presented in the right and left visual field favors the right visual field when stimulus patterns are blocked and rotated 90 degrees clockwise and favors the left visual field when they are blocked and rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
  • (15) Moreover, the majority of the 'out of phase' units showed an increased discharge during side-up animal tilt and side-down neck rotation.
  • (16) 3-D curves were computed with an apparent rotation around the vertical axis Z.
  • (17) Subsequently, due to the rotation of the original polar axis in one hemisphere, the third cleavage plane through one half of the egg is transverse to the third cleavage plane through the other half.

  • (19) Per-rotational nystagmus was recorded in rabbits with unilaterally narrowed vertebral arteries or following unilateral cervical sympathectomies.
  • (20) We found that the Gallie system generally allowed significantly more rotation in flexion, extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending than the other three fixation techniques.
