What's the difference between presuming and presumption?

(19) Compared with Sheehan's series in England, it was found the incidence of post-partum hypopituitarism in Okayama was presumably less than in England.
(20) In addition, we have shown that long-lived, presumably non-senescent, strains do not arise by suppressor mutation, but lose senescence plasmid DNA by another mechanism.
Presumption
Definition:
(n.) The act of presuming, or believing upon probable evidence; the act of assuming or taking for granted; belief upon incomplete proof.
(n.) Ground for presuming; evidence probable, but not conclusive; strong probability; reasonable supposition; as, the presumption is that an event has taken place.
(n.) That which is presumed or assumed; that which is supposed or believed to be real or true, on evidence that is probable but not conclusive.
(n.) The act of venturing beyond due beyond due bounds; an overstepping of the bounds of reverence, respect, or courtesy; forward, overconfident, or arrogant opinion or conduct; presumptuousness; arrogance; effrontery.
Example Sentences:

(3) Three discrete cell populations were thus defined, differing in mean cell diameter TdT+ 14.8- mu-, 9.5 micron; TdT+ 14.8+ mu-, 10 microns; and TdT- 14.8+ mu-, 11.5 micron, presumptively representing a sequence of cell stages preceding the expression of mu chains in large pre-B cells (TdT- 14.8+ c mu+ s mu-, 11.5 microns).
(4) The presumptive origin of this entity is briefly discussed.
(5) Patients with presumptive Alzheimer's disease (AD) and healthy community volunteers received computed tomographic (CT) brain scans and cognitive tests.
(6) It is now recognized that presumptive positive screening results have to be confirmed by an analytical procedure based on a different chemical technique with greater than or equal sensitivity to the screening test.
(7) In addition, E9 primary cultures contain a transient subpopulation of presumptive mesenchymal stem or progenitor cells that lack density dependent inhibition of growth [contact-insensitive (CS-) cells].
(8) Because the pathophysiology of many drug eruptions is unknown, the presumption that a drug eruption is due to immune mechanisms is often based on clinical features.
(9) The clinical situation presumptive of tentorial herniation included: partial (2 patients) or total (2 patients) secondary third nerve palsy, homolateral to the cerebral lesion; noncomatose state with initial Glasgow verbal score of 3 or greater; slight or no contralateral deficit.
(10) Peripheral processes of dorsomedially situated ganglion cells course dorsally toward the presumptive vibrissa field, and those of ventrolaterally situated ganglion cells project ventrally.
(11) The importance of ectopy in the genesis of cervical malignancy has been derived from the presumption that permissive cervical cells are thus created and exposed to vaginal contents which may harbor the mutagens(s).
