What's the difference between reliability and reliable?

Reliability


Definition:

  • (n.) The state or quality of being reliable; reliableness.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) An effective graft-surveillance protocol needs to be applicable to all patients; practical in terms of time, effort, and cost; reliable; and able to detect, grade, and assess progression of lesions.
  • (2) It was found that linear extrapolations of log k' versus ET(30) plots to the polarity of unmodified aqueous mobile phase gave a more reliable value of log k'w than linear regressions of log k' versus volume percent.
  • (3) This would disrupt and prevent Isis from maintaining stable and reliable sources of income.
  • (4) A beta-adrenergic receptor cDNA cloned into a eukaryotic expression vector reliably induces high levels of beta-adrenergic receptor expression in 2-12% of COS cell colonies transfected with this plasmid after experimental conditions are optimized.
  • (5) Pokeweed mitogen-stimulated rat spleen cells were identified as a reliable source of rat burst-promoting activity (PBA), which permitted development of a reproducible assay for rat bone marrow erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E).
  • (6) The results suggest that RPE cannot be used reliably as a surrogate for direct pulse measurement in exercise training of persons with acute dysvascular amputations.
  • (7) Data collection at the old hospital for comparison, however, was not always reliable.
  • (8) Comparison if single injections of MSB and atropine in normal subjects also demonstrated a more reliable dose-response relationship with MSB.
  • (9) The evidence suggests that by the age of 15 years many adolescents show a reliable level of competence in metacognitive understanding of decision-making, creative problem-solving, correctness of choice, and commitment to a course of action.
  • (10) Improvement of its particularly poor prognosis requires therefore early screening based on reliable biological markers.
  • (11) A 6.4 kilobase C4B-5'-specific Taq I fragment usually provided a reliable guide to the presence of a C4A deletion but unusually in one instance this fragment was found to be a marker of a functioning C4A gene.
  • (12) Abnormal albuminuria at levels not reliably detected by the usual dipstick methods was commonly observed in Pima Indians with diabetes, even those with diabetes of recent onset.
  • (13) It is concluded that the transcutaneous ultrasound technique provides a reliable, rapidly available, non-invasive method to confirm the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis.
  • (14) This new index provides a reliable method to assess drug therapy appropriateness.
  • (15) The quantitative method used for determination of HBDH is reliable, accurate, simple and rapid and therefore has better value in a clinical setting than electrophoresis and adsorption techniques which are laborious and time consuming.
  • (16) The capacity of granule-cell networks to separate overlapping patterns of activity on their inputs is adequate, with spatial variability in the secretion at synapses, but is improved if there is also temporal variability in the stochastic secretion at individual synapses, although this is at the expense of reliability in the network.
  • (17) Interexaminer reliability studies indicate that a standard method of motion palpation is quite feasible and accurate.
  • (18) In conclusion, 99Tcm-MIBI SPECT provides a reliable method for detecting CAD.
  • (19) As a result of measures taken to reduce artifacts and to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, the measurements were performed reliably, with little inconvenience for the patients; all measurements could be used for analysis.
  • (20) This method can characterize reliably flavivirus field isolates at the molecular level without extensive virus propagation and molecular cloning, and will be a valuable tool for molecular epidemiological studies.

Reliable
