Reapportion


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To apportion again.

Example Sentences:

Redistribute


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To distribute again.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) This "paradox of redistribution" was certainly observable in Britain, where Welfare retained its status as one of the 20th century's most exalted creations, even while those claiming benefits were treated with ever greater contempt.
  • (3) In addition, a redistribution of cellular controls of the host reaction to parasites may act as a complementary mechanism for establishment of the viable equilibrium between host and parasite.
  • (4) All cellular signals characterized so far are reverted during retrodifferentiation: Redistribution of PKC and down-regulation of c-fos and c-jun contribute to an interruption of the differentiation-associated transsignaling cascade.
  • (5) Three of four lesions with chronic infarction showed no redistribution.
  • (6) The reasons for this are not well understood but such factors as differing mechanisms of action, development of tolerance and unique patterns of regional redistribution of blood flow may all play a modifying role in differentiating one vasodilator from another.
  • (7) Eight of 16 patients with thallium redistribution had cardiac events, whereas there were no such events in 32 patients whose thallium scan either was normal or showed only persistent defects (P less than 0.0001).
  • (8) Previous experiments had demonstrated that the receptors for the lectins soybean agglutinin (SBA), wheat germ agglutinin, concanavalin A and Lens culinaris agglutinin all were relatively uniformly distributed on both myoblasts and myotubes, and that SBA receptors were capable of rapid redistribution on myotubes but not myoblasts at 4 degrees C (Sawyer & Akeson, 1983).
  • (9) It is thought that the mechanisms of resorption are: co-mingling with CSF and redistribution in the more acute variety and in instances of subdural hydromas; and thru the healing and reparative process in the chronic type.

  • (14) We have perturbed the dynamics of the nuclear lamins by means of cell fusion between mitotic and interphase cells and have studied redistribution of lamins in fused cells as a function of extracellular pH levels.
  • (15) Receptor redistribution was prevented completely in rats pretreated with beta-blocking nadolol.
  • (16) After occlusion, myocardial flow was redistributed from deep layers to outer layers, and within 6 hours after occlusion collateral flow was increased to the outer zones in excess of redistributed flow.
  • (17) These include a redistribution of the neurons that originally were in barrel sides; a reduction in the neuropil between the neurons that originally were within hollows; and differential growth of layer IV dendrites.

  • (19) Frusemide has been given to try to prevent this change in glycerol-induced ARF because of its effect in redistributing renal blood flow from medulla to cortex.
  • (20) The mechanism for its beneficial antianginal effect may be due to favorable redistribution of myocardial blood flow to ischemic zones; no clear effect on anginal threshold or sympathetic tone could be demonstrated in these patients.
