What's the difference between nonsonant and sonant?
Nonsonant
Definition:
(a.) Not sonant.
(n.) A nonsonant or nonvocal consonant.
Example Sentences:
(1) Osmotic gradient across the membrane of nonsonicated liposomes and rose petal protoplasts are shown to induce swelling.
(2) When the membranes were disrupted by sonication, approximately 30% higher arginase activity was observed than with the nonsonicated samples.
(3) The binding of melittin to nonsonicated bilayer membranes composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was studied with an ultracentrifugation assay and with 2H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance.
(4) Histologic assessment with the light microscope exhibited a sharp line of demarcation between the necrosed sonicated portion of tumor and the viable intact nonsonicated area of tumor.
(5) Chlamydial inclusions were detected in 71 of 780 cultures tested; 44 (62%) were positive from both, while 12 (16.9%) were positive in nonsonicated only, and 15 (21.1%) in sonicated specimens only.
(6) Compared with an equivalent amount of saline and nonsonicated albumin solutions, 10 ml of sonicated albumin did not produce any evidence of infarction, embolization or hemorrhage in the myocardium, brain or kidneys of rabbits.
(7) The melittin partition constant for small unilamellar vesicles was by a factor of 20 larger than that of planar bilayers and attests to the tighter lipid packing in the nonsonicated bilayers.
(8) Injections of nonsonicated Renografin caused less depression of systolic wall thickening (p less than 0.05), faster resolution of wall motion abnormalities (p less than 0.05), less contrast (p less than 0.001) and more rapid contrast washout (p less than 0.001) than did 12 micron bubbles in Renografin.
(9) Sonicated specimens were found to have fewer aggregates, a lower percentage of cells in S-phase (%S) and G2M phase than the corresponding nonsonicated specimens.
(10) Paired injections of sonicated and nonsonicated agents were compared to determine whether the presence of microbubbles affected the physiologic response to these agents.
(11) Betta splendens, a related nonsonic gourami with unspecialized pectoral fins, served as a control.
(12) This partition coefficient is smaller than that deduced for small sonicated vesicles and attests to the tighter lipid packing in the nonsonicated bilayers.
(13) The mean number of inclusions from sonicated specimens was more than double that from nonsonicated specimens.
(14) An ECG-gated power injector was used to deliver 7 to 9 ml of sonicated and nonsonicated solutions (saline, Renografin-76, dextrose 50% and 70%, and sorbitol 70%) through an intra-aortic catheter placed above the aortic cusps.
(15) The binding of bee venom melittin to small unilamellar vesicles and large nonsonicated multilamellar bilayer membranes composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) was studied by means of circular dichroism, 31P-NMR and electrophoretic mobility.
(16) The ultrasonic velocity at 3 MHz and the density in the nonsonicated and sonicated liposomes of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine have been measured in the temperature range from 0 degrees C to 55 degrees C. The results indicate that nonsonicated multilamellar vesicles undergo a weak first order transition which is analogous to the nematic-isotropic transition of liquid crystals.
(17) Cultures of sonicated and nonsonicated chlamydial specimens were compared using a Heat Systems sonicator with a cup-horn attachment for sonication.
(18) Nonsonicated and sonicated dextrose 70% increased left ventricular contractility at 15 seconds but not at 5 seconds after injection.
(19) Data on the specifically deuterium-labeled cholesterol molecule (in nonsonicated membrane systems) permits an estimate of the most probable angle of tilt of the sterol in the membrane, and evaluation of the order parameter (Salpha) describing rigid body motions in the bilayer.
(20) The recovery of 121 varicella zoster virus and cytomegalovirus isolates in human fibroblast vials from sonicated versus nonsonicated passage suspensions was studied.
Sonant
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to sound; sounding.
(a.) Uttered, as an element of speech, with tone or proper vocal sound, as distinguished from mere breath sound; intonated; voiced; tonic; the opposite of nonvocal, or surd; -- sid of the vowels, semivowels, liquids, and nasals, and particularly of the consonants b, d, g hard, v, etc., as compared with their cognates p, t, k, f, etc., which are called nonvocal, surd, or aspirate.
(n.) A sonant letter.
Example Sentences:
(1) Now, when the Bristol Pound emerges , or when the business-to-business currency SoNantes is introduced for the businesses around the French city of Nantes, commissioned by a former mayor and former French prime minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, the idea gains further weight for sustainable economic development, rather than just for crisis mitigation.
(2) The city of Nantes in France just launched the SoNantes as an way to support SMEs in the region.
