What's the difference between malodorous and odor?

Malodorous


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (16) Author Rich Cohen wrote in the New York Times: “For as long as anyone remembers, following the Cubs has meant embracing futility, choosing the losers over the winners, seeing the romance in failure.” The “lovable losers” have suffered a legendary curse ever since a tavern owner, barred from a World Series game in 1945 because he was trying to bring in a malodorous goat , proclaimed that they would never win the title again.
  • (17) In a multivariate analysis, eight clinical cues were independently (p less than 0.05) related to nurse practitioners' probability judgments: age less than 20 years; past chlamydial or gonococcal infection; new sex partner; partner with suspected genital infection; genito-urinary symptoms; cervicitis, purulent vaginal discharge; and malodorous vaginal discharge.
  • (18) Removal, rinsing optimally in vinegar solution, and reinsertion within 24 hours after intercourse reduces the chance of malodor formation.

  • (20) Brushing studies indicate that both plaque and tongue are important sources of malodor with most of the odor emanating from the dorso-posterior surface of the tongue.

Odor


Definition:

  • (n.) Any smell, whether fragrant or offensive; scent; perfume.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Experiment 3 showed that the color-induced increase in odor intensity is not due to subjects' preexperimental experience with particular color-odor combinations, because the increase occurred with novel ones.
  • (2) Because of the wide range of human nasal anatomic configurations, some people sniff odorants against comparatively high resistances.
  • (3) Superior memory for the word list was found when the odor present during the relearning session was the same one that had been present at the time of initial learning, thereby demonstrating context-dependent memory.
  • (4) Foraging honeybees (Apis mellifera) were trained with 2 successively presented targets differing in color or odor, one of which always contained a 5-microliters drop of 50% sucrose solution and the other, a 5-microliters drop of 20% sucrose solution.
  • (5) A programmable controller manages the olfactometer dilution stage selection, the odor stimulus switch and starts the peripheral devices required by the experiment.
  • (6) For the roof, different odorants produced different activity patterns, which had profiles not simply described as regions of maximal and minimal responsiveness.
  • (7) Hamsters with TNx retained their ability to detect odors, but demonstrated reduced attraction to vaginal odors as compared with unoperated animals.
  • (8) Chemosensory cilia of olfactory receptor neurons contain an adenylate cyclase which is stimulated by high concentrations of odorants.
  • (9) Distal stimuli emanating from the female or pups induce proximity by provoking orientation, attention and arousal; the meaning of these stimuli is largely learned by conditioned associations during the initial executions of the behavior, although odors may have a prepotent influence for some individuals.
  • (10) The cyclic adenosine nucleotide pathway is turned off by kinase A activity, whereas the inositol trisphosphate cascade is terminated by kinase C. The data support the concept that desensitization of odorant responses involves phosphorylation of key elements in the transduction cascade.
  • (11) Like its counterparts from frog and rat, the ciliary enzyme was stimulated by guanine nucleotides, by forskolin, and by a variety of odorants in the presence of GTP.
  • (12) The level of the DA metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) increases only in pups receiving both odor and tactile stimulation and peaks at about 200% of baseline.
  • (13) In Experiment 1, an odor was presented 90 s before, during, or 90 s after a taste to independent groups.
  • (14) Examination of illustrative case reports demonstrates that the qualitative features of the Odorant Confusion Matrix offer additional insights to support etiologic diagnoses of disturbances in sense of smell.
  • (15) At 2.5 L min-1 both groups were able to track the buildup of odor intensity during infusion and its decline after infusion.
