What's the difference between pyro and pyrotechnician?
Pyro
Definition:
(n.) Abbreviation of pyrogallic acid.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is found that, in contrast to most metallic materials yet in keeping with many ceramics, there are no distinct fracture morphologies in pyro-carbons which are characteristic of a specific mode of loading; fracture surfaces appear to be identical for both catastrophic and subcritical crack growth under either sustained or cyclic loading.
(2) Studies of a monoclonal IgA (lambda) protein with both cryo- and pyro-precipitability show that it belongs to the IgA2 subclass and is positive for the A2m(2) allotypic marker.
(3) Based on the assumption that amino acid residues which are critical for function are preferentially conserved, we predict from the sequence that glycine residue 15 rather than residue 12 is important for (pyro)phosphate binding.
(4) The Michaelis constant, Km, for hydrolysis of pyro-Glu-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide by thrombin was increased 1.8-fold, from 130 to 230 microM, as a result of the binding of protein Z and the Km for H-Val-Leu-Arg-p-nitroanilide 1.4-fold, from 390 to 560 microM.
(5) No cross-reactivity of (3--10) LH-RH, pyro-His-Trp-SerOMe and TRH was recorded with LH-RH, whereas slight cross-reaction was observed for (Lys8) LH-RH and (Ala4) LH-RH showed marked cross-reaction.
(6) The ratio of rates of production of pyro to isopyro derivatives is 2:1 throughout.
(7) However, the cytochrome c reduction by the electron transport system was inhibited in the presence of inorganic (pyro)phosphate.
(8) The activities of the pyro- and orthophosphate fractions were used to calculate the amount of acidic calcium phosphate present in the nascent mineral.
(9) (Pyro)-Glu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 appears to account for most of all of the LHRH and FSHRH activity found.
(10) From the crude venom we have isolated several pyro-glutamate containing peptides, two of which are relatively good inhibitors of the toxins.
(11) The structure of pGlu-Phe-Pro (where p-indicates pyro-) amide was confirmed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.
(12) More than 150 hypothalamic fractions were reassayed for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) and follicle stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (FSHRH) activities in search for LHRH and FSHRH which differ from the decapeptide (pyro)Glu-His-Trp-Ser-Try-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2 (I).
(13) Exophthalmos has been induced in carp by injecting thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) (PYRO-glutamyl-histidyl-prolinamide) into the coelom.
(14) Modifications of the Komnick potassium (pyro)antimonate precipitation method have been widely used for the subcellular localization of a variety of cations.
(15) The localization of pyro-antimonate-precipitable Ca2+ in the undecalcified femur and calvaria of neonatal rats was examined.
(16) Homogenates of brain, pituitary, liver, lung, ovary, and testes were incubated with [pyro Glu1-3,4-3H]luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone ([3H]LHRH), and the profiles of metabolites generated as a function of time were determined.
(17) Based on these results, we suggest to call these substances (adenosine and pyro-glutamic acid) "selective modulators".
(18) The isolated light chain of factor XIa retained greater than 90% of its amidolytic activity against the oligopeptide substrate pyro-Glu-Pro-Arg-pNA (S-2366), but only 3.8% of its clotting activity in a factor XIa assay and 1% of its factor IX activating activity in an activation peptide release assay.
(19) Furthermore, electroplax membranes contain a whole set of enzymes responsible for the dephosphorylation of thiamine tri-, pyro- and monophosphate.
(20) The binding and uptake of the GnRH agonist D-Lys6-GnRH and of the antagonists [N-Ac-D-(pyro)-Cl-Phe1,2-D-Trp3-Lys6-D-Ala10]-GnRH and D-p-Glu1-D-Phe2-D-Trp3-D-Lys6-GnRH by dispersed pituitary gonadotropes was studied with electron microscopy.
Pyrotechnician
Definition:
(n.) A pyrotechnist.
Example Sentences:
(1) The renowned artist and musician also had one of his self-portraits recreated in fireworks by the event’s master pyrotechnician, Fortunato Foti .
(2) Pyrotechnicians turned the riverside precinct of the National Theatre into a spectacular garden of fire.
