What's the difference between rectifier and rectify?

Rectifier


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, rectifies.
  • (n.) Specifically: (a) (Naut.) An instrument used for determining and rectifying the variations of the compass on board ship. (b) (Chem.) A rectificator.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) A sample of 154 randomly selected, full-wave rectified and filtered electromyographic recordings was evaluated using a test-retest paradigm.
  • (2) At low concentrations, the current-voltage relations are inwardly rectifying, but they become more ohmic if a small amount of divalent cations is added externally.
  • (3) A voltage-sensitive K+ channel with characteristics of the delayed rectifier was studied in NG108-15 cells using the cell-attached patch-clamp technique.
  • (4) -57 mV) induced a large voltage-dependent inward current which has been identified as the K current through the anomalous rectifier (Ianomal.).
  • (5) Single atrial myocytes were enzymatically isolated from the bull-frog as previously described (Hume & Giles, 1981), and patch-clamp techniques were used in an attempt to identify and separate two inwardly rectifying K+ channels in this tissue.
  • (6) Neither a steady-state component (Is-s) nor a slowly activated component (Irise) of inward rectifier currents were observed in fibres of P0 and P4 mice.
  • (7) Opioid activation of the inward rectifying conductance resulted in small outward potassium currents at resting membrane potentials and increased inward currents at hyperpolarized potentials.
  • (8) The dependence of the current activation and inactivation on the membrane potential was consistent with that of a delayed K+ rectifier.
  • (9) If such errors are to be rectified systematically to provide a sustainable improvement in field placement accuracy over a course of treatment, the origins of the errors require unambiguous identification.
  • (10) Therapy depends upon determining the precise etiology for the fall and rectifying contributing factors.
  • (11) A channel exhibiting fast, voltage-dependent transitions between different conductance states may behave as an intrinsic rectifier.
  • (12) These results showed that some of the organic compounds released by cells during regulatory volume decrease could diffuse through this outwardly rectifying anionic channel.
  • (13) Treatment with recombinant human TNF-alpha (rhTNF) for 24 to 72 hr produces (i) process retraction in some but not all OLGs, (ii) a reduction in the resting membrane potential with no significant change in membrane capacitance or input resistance over control cells and (iii) a decrease in the expression of both the inwardly rectifying and outward K+ current.
  • (14) "And charging citizens to hold power to account is not the way to rectify an existing imbalance or promote a more meaningful democracy."
  • (15) Edi was recorded by an esophageal electrode, rectified, and then integrated, and peak values during inspiration were measured.
  • (16) Nothing I can say will rectify that,” said Reid, who worked for the Metropolitan police service’s specialist search unit for 26 years, before retiring in 2011.
  • (17) To rectify the situation, we adapted the anchored polymerase chain reaction to clone and analyze rapidly the expressed V genes for three anti-virus IgG antibodies.
  • (18) Retailers work very quickly to rectify these mistakes whenever they are found."
  • (19) The inward rectifier in lens has the necessary properties to be involved in setting resting voltage.
  • (20) The effects of intracellular pH on an inwardly rectifying K+ channel ("Kin channel") in opossum kidney (OK) cells were examined using the patch-clamp technique.

Rectify


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To make or set right; to correct from a wrong, erroneous, or false state; to amend; as, to rectify errors, mistakes, or abuses; to rectify the will, the judgment, opinions; to rectify disorders.
  • (v. t.) To refine or purify by repeated distillation or sublimation, by which the fine parts of a substance are separated from the grosser; as, to rectify spirit of wine.
  • (v. t.) To produce ( as factitious gin or brandy) by redistilling low wines or ardent spirits (whisky, rum, etc.), flavoring substances, etc., being added.
