What's the difference between lemma and theorem?

Lemma


Definition:

  • (n.) A preliminary or auxiliary proposition demonstrated or accepted for immediate use in the demonstration of some other proposition, as in mathematics or logic.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These partitions shunt additional protein into the cell, where ferritin is transported within pinocytotic vesicles to the lateral and basal plasma-lemma and, presumably, back into the interspace again.
  • (2) Solome Lemma, co-founder of the grassroots response initiative Africa Responds, said she was disappointed Geldof hadn’t worked with African artists: “There’s a multitude of artists from the three most affected countries – Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea – and the rest of Africa he could have brought on to do a different song.
  • (3) The energetic consequences of acute and chronic adjustments of two primary-active transport processes, Na-K transport across plasma(sarco) lemma and Ca transport across the endo(sarco)plasmic-reticular membrane, are illustrated.
  • (4) Most of the tumour cells were elongate, and contained abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, well developed Golgi zones, and numerous small vesicles and filaments, the latter sometimes being related to masses of electron-dense material near the plasma-lemma.
  • (5) The first Band Aid did raise money, but it left Ethiopia and the rest of Africa with a very negative legacy, that survives to this day.” Lemma was born in Ethiopia and moved to the US when she was 12 in the early 1990s.
  • (6) This result suggests that the effects of BWSV on the nerve terminal may not be confined to increasing the permeability of the plasma-lemma.
  • (7) Unlike albumin-gold complexes that bind restrictively to plasmalemmal vesicles, gA-Au labels the plasma-lemma proper, plasmalemmal vesicles open on the lumen, and most coated pits.
  • (8) This paper presents a spreading-activation theory of conceptually driven lemma retrieval--the first stage of lexical access in speaking, where lexical items specified with respect to meaning and syntactic properties are activated and selected.
  • (9) While healthy elderly Ss (in the 70s group) utilized lemma repairs more often than the reformulation strategy, all other healthy Ss used both strategies about equally often.
  • (10) Solome Lemma is co-founder and executive director of Africans in the Diaspora (Aid) .
  • (11) A lemma with sufficient conditions for continuity and differentiation of the median regression function is proved.
  • (12) Their basal plasma lemma showed presence of caveolae and the luminal surface was studded with stereocilis.
  • (13) Hooked macrohairs on the lemma of the spikelet show that morphological modifications in grasses for dispersal by attachment to the surface of animals were present in the Late Eocene.
  • (14) The mental lexicon is conceived of as a network consisting of concept, lemma, and word-form nodes and labelled links, with each lexical concept represented as an independent node.
  • (15) Solome Lemma, co-founder of Africans in the Diaspora and the Africa Responds initiative on Ebola, a fundraising effort to support local organisations working on the issue , said it was commendable that Geldof was helping with the Ebola response, but questioned the initiative’s “patronising” style.
  • (16) These results demonstrate that polymers prevent exocytosis by preventing dispersal of the granule contents once fusion of the secretory granule with the plasma-lemma has occurred.
  • (17) The emerging theoretical picture partitions the accessing process into two subprocesses, the selection of an appropriate lexical item (a "lemma") from the mental lexicon, and the phonological encoding of that item, that is, the computation of a phonetic program for the item in the context of utterance.
  • (18) Preliminary EM investigations revealed thick and thin filaments, associated with the ectoplasmic tube near the plasma-lemma, which appeared to be the basis for the contractility of the ectoplasmic tube.
  • (19) Two major bleb types have been discerned on ultrastructural appearance using as the criteria the preservation of integrity of the plasma-lemma and subplasmalemmal leptomeres.
  • (20) Processing models that use the activation metaphor may have difficulties accounting for certain phenomena where a certain lemma triggers not one, but two or more word forms that have to be produced with other word forms in between.

Theorem


Definition:

  • (n.) That which is considered and established as a principle; hence, sometimes, a rule.
  • (n.) A statement of a principle to be demonstrated.
  • (v. t.) To formulate into a theorem.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The operational meaning of all the resulting theorems is that when any of them appear to be refuted experimentally, the presence of more than one parallel transport pathway (that is, of membrane heterogeneity transverse to the direction of transport) can be inferred and analyzed.
  • (2) From these, the upper limits of visual acuity were derived on the basis of the assumptions of the sampling theorem.
  • (3) We reviewed the literature on the performance of the blood culture as a diagnostic test and analyzed the data with Bayes' theorem to find the optimal number of cultures to draw.
  • (4) Based upon the sensitivity and specificity, the authors calculated the expected predictive values for different groups of asymptomatic individuals using Bayes' theorem.
  • (5) The prognostic relevances of the characters investigated were tested by Bayes' theorem.
  • (6) The structure of nonverbal communication expressed as eye-contact between two human beings is analyzed using graph-theoretic tools involving a theorem of König on bipartite graphs and various results concerning directed graphs (as in Harary).
  • (7) Based on Bayes' theorem, 'Solubile' uses up to 47 items of information about the patient to produce the most probable diagnosis from 22 possible diseases.
  • (8) Using Monte Carlo methods, we verify an equation derived from O'Connor's scaling theorem relating scatter-primary ratios at small depths and field sizes to those at larger depths and fields.
  • (9) We have extended their work, which is based on logit analysis, to consider, using Bayes' theorem, the influence of the proportion of carcinogens upon the decision rules for declaring a battery result positive or negative.
  • (10) The introduction of this differentiation of histopathologic diagnoses is not just another sophisticated scientific theorem; its practical significance may be seen in a definitive restriction of the application of antirejection therapy, which means a reduction of the risks and side effects imposed on heart-transplanted patients by chemotherapy and particularly by steroid therapy.
  • (11) A theorem about correspondence of the graph constructed and coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of linearized kinetic equations is proved.
  • (12) One depends on solving a set of non-linear simultaneous equations, and the other on Taylor's theorem.
  • (13) It is based on three steps: 1) the search for all possible helical regions relied on a mathematical approach derived from the convolution theorem; it uses a tetradimensional complex vector representation of the bases along the sequence; 2) a 'tree' search for a set of minimum free energy structures, by the aid of an approximate energy evaluation to reduce the computer time requirements; 3) the exact calculation and refinement of the energies.
  • (14) The power is either derived from the Pythagorean Theorem or measured on graph paper.
  • (15) The steady-state solutions (Kirchhoff-Hill theorem) yield expressions for the relationship between the small signal conductance of univalent ions and the concentration of these ions in the external bathing medium (a saturation curve) and for the ionic currents and the steady-state current-voltage curve (N-shaped).
  • (16) In this situation the general principles of decision analysis can be contemplated: the characteristics of the test (sensibility and specificity), the prevalence of the disease and Bayes theorem and the concept of utility.
  • (17) These assumptions are not universally true and it is shown that the theorems can be modified to take account of such deviations.
  • (18) Using Bayes theorem and logistic regression analysis, the effect of changing driver characteristics on the probability of a fatality was explored.

  • (20) Total discrimination and divergence are derived from Baye's theorem and based on backward (a posteriori) probabilities.
