What's the difference between metronome and metrotome?

Metronome


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument consisting of a short pendulum with a sliding weight. It is set in motion by clockwork, and serves to measure time in music.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) "You wouldn't conceive such random movements could produce such metronomic sounds: you get this der-der-der-der-der-errrr, der-der-der-der-der-errrr.
  • (2) As a way of learning about the motor control of chewing, we studied how well a subject could voluntarily chew in time with a metronome and defined the changes in the spatial and temporal aspects of the chewing pattern with changes in chewing rate.
  • (3) Dolin's dog Ger was trained to differentiate between metronomic frequencies of 60 (positive) and 120 (negative) per minute, its conditioned salivary reaction to the positive stimulus was attenuated immediately after a test on a more positive stimulus (30 per minute) and that to the negative stimulus was augmented immediately after a test on a more negative stimulus (200 per minute).
  • (4) Stuttering duration change scores were related only for the time-out and DAF, and metronome and DAF conditions.
  • (5) Movements of the head were voluntary and paced by a metronome at either 0.5 or 2.0 Hz during the 4 min adaptation period.
  • (6) On the 4th day all animals were exposed to the metronome alone, following which blood samples were drawn.
  • (7) When the diva’s metronomic backhand malfunctioned and the last point of the set strayed wide, the cheers for the French-speaking Canadian sounded genuine enough.
  • (8) Metronome breathing altered spectral content within subjects and produced age-related differences in responses to postural maneuvers not seen during spontaneous breathing.
  • (9) Anderson, meanwhile, continued to attack with metronomic accuracy.
  • (10) Boys with reading disability were asked to tap two mechanical keys in time to the beat of a metronome, with left and right hand alone, and with alternating hands.
  • (11) It was found that the stimulus supplied by an auditory metronome did not significantly improve the phonemic accuracy of these subjects.
  • (12) Temporal information processing was studied in humans attempting to tap a key in synchrony with a metronome whose base period was subjected to subliminal random changes.
  • (13) Timing measures were obtained from subjects instructed to tap a Morse key in synchrony with a metronome which marked a timing pattern consisting of alternating blocks of intervals of imperceptibly different duration.
  • (14) Missing were several key components of their qualifying campaign; regular goalkeeper Keylor Navas, prolific MLS striker Alvaro Saborio and, most notably, the metronomic Fulham midfielder Bryan Ruiz.

  • (16) Heart rate variation was studied in 56 healthy subjects from ages 20-81 while supine and standing during spontaneous and metronome breathing.
  • (17) Two prelingually deaf and two hearing speakers produced two different strings of alternating heterogeneous monosyllables as though speaking in time with a metronome (the so-called P-center task).
  • (18) Metronome breathing decreased total spectral content (p less than .001) but increased high frequency content, especially in younger subjects (p less than .03).
  • (19) The coupled frequency omega c was varied by a metronome, and scaled to the eigenfrequency omega v of the coupled system; K was assumed to vary inversely with omega c. The results indicate that: (1) delta omega and K contribute multiplicatively to phi; (2) phi = 0 or phi = pi regardless of K when delta omega = 0; (3) phi approximately 0 or phi approximately pi regardless of delta omega when K is large (relative to delta omega); (4) results (1) to (3) hold identically for both in phase and antiphase coordination.
  • (20) the click of a metronome) spaced at regular intervals (e.g.

Metrotome


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument for cutting or scarifying the uterus or the neck of the uterus.
