What's the difference between petrification and residue?

Petrification


Definition:

  • (n.) See Petrifaction.
  • (n.) Fig.: Obduracy; callousness.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Cholesterosis of the gallbladder ist a reversible process, the petrification of cholesterol polyps is repeated observed.
  • (2) 12 of 16 patients demonstrated changes which were characteristic for hypocorticism: in 4 patients (no signs of tuberculous involvement of the adrenals) a decrease in their sizes with the preserved regular shape was noted, in 8 patients (with clinicolaboratory findings of tuberculous involvement) enlarged sizes, bilateral deformity of the contours and the presence of petrificates were detected.
  • (3) Changes in the brain matter were detected in 13 of these 15 patients: foreign bodies (2 cases), meningeal cerebral cicatrices (5), dilatation of the ventricular system (4), petrificates in the brain matter (1), atrophic changes of the cerebral cortex (1).
  • (4) The formerly feared "linear scar petrification," usual after use of Teflon felt, was absent.

Residue


Definition:

  • (n.) That which remains after a part is taken, separated, removed, or designated; remnant; remainder.
  • (n.) That part of a testeator's estate wwhich is not disposed of in his will by particular and special legacies and devises, and which remains after payment of debts and legacies.
  • (n.) That which remains of a molecule after the removal of a portion of its constituents; hence, an atom or group regarded as a portion of a molecule; -- used as nearly equivalent to radical, but in a more general sense.
  • (n.) Any positive or negative number that differs from a given number by a multiple of a given modulus; thus, if 7 is the modulus, and 9 the given number, the numbers -5, 2, 16, 23, etc., are residues.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) An automated continuous flow sample cleanup system intended for rapid screening of foods for pesticide residues in fresh and processed vegetables has been developed.
  • (2) IT can, therefore, be excluded almost with certainty that the meat would contain such large amounts of hormone residues.
  • (3) The second amino acid residue influences not only the rate of reaction but also the extent of formation of the product of the Amadori rearrangement, the ketoamine.
  • (4) Amino acid sequence analysis showed that both peaks had identical N-terminal sequences through the first 28 residues.
  • (5) Arthrotomy with continuous irrigation appears to be more effective in decreasing long-term residual effects than arthrotomy alone.
  • (6) The pathology resulting from a missense mutation at residue 403 further suggests that a critical function of myosin is disrupted by this mutation.
  • (7) The mboIIR gene specifies a protein of 416 amino acids (MW: 48,617) while the mboIIM gene codes for a putative 260-residue polypeptide (MW: 30,077).
  • (8) As a group, the three mammalian proteins resemble bovine serum conglutinin and behave as lectins with rather broad sugar specificities directed at certain non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose and fucose residues, but with subtle differences in fine specificities.
  • (9) We recently demonstrated that functional change in SSI was possible simply by replacing the amino acid residue at the reactive P1 site (methionine 73) of SSI.
  • (10) Analogues of [Orn6]-SP6-11 have been synthesized in which the Met11 residue is replaced by glutamate gamma-alkylesters.
  • (11) The Bohr and Root effects are absent, although specific amino acid residues, considered responsible of most of these functions, are conserved in the sequence, thus posing new questions about the molecular basis of these mechanisms.
  • (12) The deactivated columns had the residual silanols on the silica gel chemically inactivated to reduce the interaction with basic groups or analytes.
  • (13) These results suggest that photochemical modification of a single residue of aspartate (or asparagine) is largely, if not entirely, responsible for photoinactivation of the enzyme under these conditions.
  • (14) The seve polypeptide chains investigated had generalyy similar properties; all contained two residues per molecule of tryptophan and N-acetylserine was the common N-terminal amino acid residue.
  • (15) (4) Despite the removal of the cruciate ligaments and capsulo-ligamentous slide, no significant residual instability was found in either plane.
  • (16) Urine specimens from patient REE also contained a light chain fragment that lacked the first (amino-terminal) 85 residues of the native light chain but otherwise was identical in sequence to the light chain REE.
  • (17) Residual cancer was found in the radical prostatectomy specimen in 11 of the 29 stage-A1 patients (38%) and in 66 of the 86 stage-A2 patients (77%).
  • (18) The presence of a few key residues in the amino-terminal alpha-helix of each ligand is sufficient to confer specificity to the interaction.
  • (19) This implies that the epitope(s) of NNA-PLA2 might comprise some substituted residues in the sequence of PLA2 homologues.
  • (20) On the basis of primary sequence homology with other known Pseudomonas lipases, a number of putative active site residues located in conserved areas were found.
