What's the difference between polynomial and taxonomic?
Polynomial
Definition:
(n.) An expression composed of two or more terms, connected by the signs plus or minus; as, a2 - 2ab + b2.
(a.) Containing many names or terms; multinominal; as, the polynomial theorem.
(a.) Consisting of two or more words; having names consisting of two or more words; as, a polynomial name; polynomial nomenclature.

(9) The polynomial logit-log procedure gave the best fit, but this was probably due to the inherent flexibility of this curve-fitting process since the analytical precision achieved with it was not better than what was obtained with most of the other procedures.

(17) The H-H rate constants, alpha and beta, are approximated by polynomial functions rather than exponential functions, since the former are handled more efficiently by SPICE.
(18) A third-order polynomial function would theoretically explain better than a linear relation or a parabolic fit the curved shape of experimentally obtained P-Q relationships.
(19) A polynomial regression fits the best the results: the speed of acquisition of this kind of learning decreases between the ages of 3 and 35 days, a plateau being observed in flies older than 35 days.
(20) It involves a conceptual dissection of the polypeptide chain into interacting blocks; the behavior of any block with side-chain interactions is treated then with conventional binding polynomial techniques.
Taxonomic
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to, or involving, taxonomy, or the laws and principles of classification; classificatory.
Example Sentences:
(1) The taxonomic relationship of strains H4-14 and 25a with previously described Xanthobacter strains was studied by numerical classification.
(2) Bordetella pertussis and Bacillus anthracis, two taxonomically distinct bacteria, secrete adenylate cyclase toxins that are activated by the eukaryotic protein calmodulin.
(3) The present classification of vasculitis has several objections, based on the following aspects: 1) It does not take into account taxonomic rules; 2) It uses criteria which helps to cover up; 3) It uses generic terms without a specific meaning; 4) Lack of clinical interest.
(4) As an extension to the variety of existing techniques using polymorphic DNA markers, the Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique may be used in molecular ecology to determine taxonomic identity, assess kinship relationships, analyse mixed genome samples, and create specific probes.
(5) Authors pointed on etiologic connections between particular clinical syndroms in AIDS and microbial, parasitic and viral agents belonging to different taxonomic groups.
(6) Disclosure of the 5'-terminal sequence of the HCV genome would facilitate its taxonomic classification, and contribute toward immunological diagnosis of infection and development of vaccines.
(7) The threat or risk of the child involves a substantial taxonomic variety, therefore the author tries to define the entire area by terms such as risk factor, individual at risk, group at risk and risk situation, to assess their content and extent and their mutual relations.
(8) The results suggested that allergenic cross-reactivity between some fly species exists, and may extend to taxonomically unrelated insect species.
(9) The advantages of long-term preservation of suspensions of mycobacteria by storage at -70 degrees C established in earlier studies are reinforced by present evidence that freezer storage does not alter key taxonomic features used to identify mycobacteria.
(10) Fourteen Streptomyces strains from various numerical taxonomic classes and representatives of three other genera of actinomycetes were studied using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IND-ELISA) to determine their serological relationships.
(11) Our goal was to encourage analysis and synthesis rather than memorization; evaluating such higher taxonomic levels of education is extraordinarily difficult.
(12) Numerical methods have been employed to determine the taxonomic value of a number of microbiological, hydrobiological and chemical characteristics of water purity either in current use or proposed.
(13) A phasics were classified by their test scores according to taxonomic criteria, independently from localization.
(14) The popular concept of "marihuana" is actually based on the chemical characteristics of the plant Cannabis, rather than on the taxonomic classification.
