(a.) Single-voiced; having but one part; as, a monophonic composition; -- opposed to polyphonic.
Example Sentences:

(3) From the results of the coherence analysis, the monophonic tones were considered to be generated in the right or left lung, and were well transmitted to the neck over the trachea.
Stereo
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(2) Such attachment was unequivocally demonstrated in stereo pairs.
(3) Subsequent developments discussed include complementary replicas, replica interpretation with stereo micrograph and reversal negatives, replica reinforcement, and control of resistance evaporation.

(6) In the original CCRG camera both members of a stereo pair were included in the same frame.
(7) This large change in stereo threshold appears to be attributable to the significantly higher variability in responses in the children under 30 months of age vs. the lower variability in responses in children over 30 months of age.

(10) About one-half of the subjects in our static stereo-deficient sample were able to make depth judgments on the basis of disparity in both types of dynamic displays.
(11) In the experiments using PS derivatives with a modified polar head group, PS4A7 was shown to bind to 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-serine (PS) but not to 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-D-serine or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-L-homoserine, indicating that the antibody recognizes the stereo-specific configuration of serine residue in PS.
