What's the difference between linear and lineation?

Linear


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to a line; consisting of lines; in a straight direction; lineal.
  • (a.) Like a line; narrow; of the same breadth throughout, except at the extremities; as, a linear leaf.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Linear and annular gap junctions between neighbouring cells were present, particularly in Group 1.
  • (6) The ED50 and ED95 of mivacurium in each group were estimated from linear regression plots of log dose vs probit of maximum percentage depression of neuromuscular function.
  • (7) Their receptive fields comprise a temporally and spatially linear mechanism (center plus antagonistic surround) that responds to relatively low spatial frequency stimuli, and a temporally nonlinear mechanism, coextensive with the linear mechanism, that--though broad in extent--responds best to high spatial-frequency stimuli.
  • (8) A significant linear correlation was found between the effect in this test and plasma and overall brain levels of metapramine.
  • (9) Under standardized conditions, the relationship between antigen content and inhibition of chromium release was linear in a semilogarithmic plot, indicating that the antigen content can be determined from testing two dilutions of a given preparation.

Lineation


Definition:

  • (n.) Delineation; a line or lines.

Example Sentences:
