What's the difference between rotary and roundabout?

Rotary


Definition:

  • (a.) Turning, as a wheel on its axis; pertaining to, or resembling, the motion of a wheel on its axis; rotatory; as, rotary motion.

  • (4) Direct two-component rotary diffusion constant analysis is found to be too strongly affected by cross modulation between small systematic errors and physically significant data components to be a reliable measure of structural modification.
  • (5) rotary-pursuit tracking and rehearsal of tracking or rotary-pursuit tracking and object-slide naming (nonrehearsal).
  • (6) Each performed 14 trials on a rotary pursuit task (30-sec.
  • (7) The more serious sequelae must be ascribed either to rotary deformity or to ulnar angulation at the fracture-site.
  • (8) However, in free fall even without head tilts there was a significant suppression of nystagmus relative to 1 G and 1.8 G force backgrounds, thus potentially masking an effect of head tilt on suppression in 0 G. We have retested four of the original subjects with 90 degrees head tilts to maximize the likelihood of detecting suppression in 0 G. Although nystagmus and illusory after-rotation were suppressed by post-rotary head tilts in normal and high gravitoinertial force environments, there was still no evidence of suppression in free fall.
  • (9) Rotary shadowing showed that 1A6 and 6F6 both recognize the same end of type X, probably the aminoterminal non-triple helical domain.

  • (14) Serial blood samples were obtained in addition to performance measures of rotary pursuit and a simple force choice reaction time.
  • (15) Rotary-replication of quick-frozen, etched postsynaptic membranes enhanced the visibility of these surface protuberances and illustrated that they often occur in dimers, tetramers, and ordered rows.
  • (16) In turbidity experiments, the presence of heparin, even in small concentrations, drastically reduced maximal aggregation of type IV collagen which was prewarmed to 37 degrees C. By using the morphological approach of rotary shadowing, lateral associations and network formation by prewarmed type IV collagen were inhibited in the presence of heparin.
  • (17) This device was used to study the ultrastructural features of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and the immunocytochemical localization of spectrin in an "in situ" approach, by freeze drying and platinum rotary shadowing.
  • (18) Attenuation of the vestibular response to rotary acceleration in free-fall causes sensory-motor mismatches during natural head movements in orbital flight that may be important factors in the evocation of space motion sickness.
  • (19) Quadriceps rehabilitation, pes anserines transfers and semimembranosus transfers were thought not to influence anterolateral rotary instability.
  • (20) The nystagmus was reduced, and there was virtual absence of the rotary head motion.

Roundabout


Definition:

  • (a.) Circuitous; going round; indirect; as, roundabout speech.
  • (a.) Encircling; enveloping; comprehensive.
  • (n.) A horizontal wheel or frame, commonly with wooden horses, etc., on which children ride; a merry-go-round.
  • (n.) A dance performed in a circle.
  • (n.) A short, close jacket worn by boys, sailors, etc.
  • (n.) A state or scene of constant change, or of recurring labor and vicissitude.

  • (3) Continue straight on at two roundabouts from where the pavement makes its way alongside Salisbury Crags to reach an obvious grassy path.
  • (4) "If you had a platoon of cyclists coming all at once, which tends to be how traffic moves, and they have priority over traffic trying to get off the roundabout, that could lock up the roundabout very quickly.
  • (5) The coalition's much-touted manufacturing renaissance is so far confined to a roundabout of hi-tech firms in east London, and British industry remains largely a bit-player, making and assembling parts for foreign companies.
  • (6) It has such a large number of highways and roundabouts and highway roads.
