What's the difference between method and methodical?

Method


Definition:

  • (n.) An orderly procedure or process; regular manner of doing anything; hence, manner; way; mode; as, a method of teaching languages; a method of improving the mind.
  • (n.) Orderly arrangement, elucidation, development, or classification; clear and lucid exhibition; systematic arrangement peculiar to an individual.
  • (n.) Classification; a mode or system of classifying natural objects according to certain common characteristics; as, the method of Theophrastus; the method of Ray; the Linnaean method.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A modification of the manual glucose oxidase-gum guaiacum method of Shipton, B., Wood, P.J.
  • (2) Questionnaires were used and the respondent self-designation method measured leadership.
  • (3) Biochemical, immunocytochemical and histochemical methods were used to study the effect of chronic acetazolamide treatment on carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzymes in the rat kidney.
  • (4) Simplicity, high capacity, low cost and label stability, combined with relatively high clinical sensitivity make the method suitable for cost effective screening of large numbers of samples.
  • (5) We conclude that first-transit and blood-pool techniques are equally accurate methods for determining EF when the time-activity method of analysis is employed.
  • (6) The HBV infection was tested by the reversed passive hemagglutination method for the HBsAg and by the passive hemagglutination method for the anti-HBs at the time of recruitment in 1984.
  • (7) It was shown in experiments on four dogs by the conditioned method that the period of recovery of conditioned activity after one hour ether anaesthesia tested 7 to 7.5 days.
  • (8) A new and simple method of serotyping campylobacters has been developed which utilises co-agglutination to detect the presence of heat-stable antigens.
  • (9) If the method was taken into routine use in a diagnostic laboratory, the persistence of reverse passive haemagglutination reactions would enable grouping results to be checked for quality control purposes.
  • (10) The highest rate of discontinuation occurred when method choice was denied in the presence of husband-wife agreement on method choice, and the lowest rate occurred when method choice was granted in the presence of such concurrence.
  • (11) Despite of the increasing diagnostic importance of the direct determination of the parathormone which is at first available only in special institutions in these cases methodical problems play a less important part than the still not infrequent appearing misunderstanding of the adequate basic disease.
  • (12) The preembedding method also disclosed diffuse cytosolic immunoreactivity.
  • (13) A simple method for ultrarapid freezing of cell cultures in monolayers was developed.
  • (14) Nasotracheal intubation has been well established as a method for maintaining an artificial airway in children.
  • (15) These results show that this method is useful in topographical evaluation of CBF changes.
  • (16) Analysis revealed some significant differences in the false-positive rate, depending on the test method used or virus samples evaluated.
  • (17) The method is based on two-dimensional scanning photon absorptiometry on the distal part of the forearm.
  • (18) As the requirements to store and display these images increase, the following questions become important: (a) What methods can be used to ensure that information given to the physician represents the originally acquired data?
  • (19) While stereology is the principal technique, particularly in its application to the parenchyma, other compartments such as the airways and vasculature demand modifications or different methods altogether.
  • (20) However, there was no consistent protocol for the method or duration of drug administration.

Methodical


Definition:

  • (a.) Arranged with regard to method; disposed in a suitable manner, or in a manner to illustrate a subject, or to facilitate practical observation; as, the methodical arrangement of arguments; a methodical treatise.
  • (a.) Proceeding with regard to method; systematic.
  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the ancient school of physicians called methodists.
