What's the difference between sensor and stimuli?

Sensor


Definition:

  • (a.) Sensory; as, the sensor nerves.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) You're more likely to awake refreshed, because inside your mattress there's a special sensor that monitors your sleeping rhythms, determining precisely when to wake you so as not to interrupt an REM cycle.

  • (8) During the measurement, the values of previously selected features of sensor output signal are determined; then they serve as the input data for computation of concentrations of glucose and of interfering substances.
  • (9) Efforts to obtain long term, reliable direct measurements of blood pressures have not been successful because of blood clotting impairing the function of sensors, baseline drift, artifacts on measurements, and health hazard-related catheterization.
  • (10) The algorithm is an improvement over the sphere model in that it considers two distinct surfaces: an ellipsoid, to model the region of the skull on which the sensors are placed, and a sphere as the medium in which the current dipole model is considered.
  • (11) An electromagnetic flow sensor was placed around the middle uterine artery and electromyogram electrodes were attached to the uterus.
  • (12) This sensor has been used in flow injection to determine oxalate, alkylamines, and NADH.
  • (13) When the glass pH electrode data were above 5.1, the pH sensor tended to show lower pH values than glass pH electrode.
  • (14) The sensor's hysteresis is about 8 percent at 40 degrees Celsius (C) and 12 percent at 20 degrees C. The sensor has a maximal nonlinearity of 8 percent and a worst-case nonrepeatibility of 7 percent.
  • (15) All ports were successfully placed under local anesthesia, with catheter tip location determined by an electronic sensor wand.
  • (16) The GCN4 protein mediates the response of the transcriptional apparatus to the environmental signal 'amino acid limitation', while PHO2 seems to be the phosphate sensor that adjusts the response to the availability of phosphate precursors.
  • (17) The non-specific sensor response may be reduced by a combination of biologic sensors.
  • (18) These data imply that GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) are not involved in coupling the voltage sensors to Ca2+ release in skeletal muscle.
  • (19) A ventricular rate responsive pacemaker was implanted in all patients, with sensors responsive to muscular activity in one patient, and to minute ventilation in three.
  • (20) A single combined transcutaneous sensor for PO2 and PCO2 was evaluated in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Stimuli


Definition:

  • (pl. ) of Stimulus

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.
  • (2) They retained the ability to make this discrimination when the coloured stimuli were placed against a background bright enough to saturate the rods.3.
  • (3) We conclude that neuronal activities in the region of the retrofacial nucleus are important both in the integration of stimuli from the central chemoreceptors and in defining the discharge patterns of respiratory neurons.
  • (4) Substance P, a potent vasodilating peptide, seems to be released from trigeminal nerve endings in response to nervous stimulation and is involved in the transmission of painful stimuli within the periphery.
  • (5) Their receptive fields comprise a temporally and spatially linear mechanism (center plus antagonistic surround) that responds to relatively low spatial frequency stimuli, and a temporally nonlinear mechanism, coextensive with the linear mechanism, that--though broad in extent--responds best to high spatial-frequency stimuli.
  • (6) The electrical stimulation of the tail associated to a restraint condition of the rat produces a significant increase of immunoreactive DYN in cervical, thoracic and lumbar segments of spinal cord, therefore indicating a correlative, if not causal, relationship between the spinal dynorphinergic system and aversive stimuli.
  • (7) In the first, a technique for establishing an effective reinforcer from a range of possible reinforcing stimuli was evaluated.
  • (8) II, the visual and auditory stimuli were exposed conversely over the habituation- (either stimulus) and the test-periods (both stimuli).
  • (9) Stimuli presented to this island could be detected and discriminated, although the subject reported he did not see them.
  • (10) Preliminary rhythmic somatic stimulation has a predominantly facilitating effect on EPs appearing in response to tonal stimuli in the areas A1, S2, S1.
  • (11) The proportions of one of the warning stimuli, with respect to the total number of trials, were 0.10, 0.30 and 0.50.
  • (12) The effects of postnatal methyl mercury exposure on the ontogeny of renal and hepatic responsiveness to trophic stimuli were examined.
  • (13) The stimuli were two simple tones in experiment 1 and two tonal complexes in both experiments 2 and 3.
  • (14) The effects of noise on information processing in perceptual and memory tasks, as well as time reaction to perceptual stimuli, were investigated in a laboratory experiment.
  • (15) This factor was named interleukin-8 (IL-8) since it is produced by various kinds of cells in response to inflammatory stimuli including LPS, IL-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and has pleiotropic effects on T lymphocytes and basophils as well as neutrophils.
  • (16) In general patients with diarrhoea were more sensitive to stimuli than those with constipation.
  • (17) Previous experiments using natural stimuli have provided evidence that the VOR is subserved by parallel pathways, including some that are modified during learning and some that are not.
  • (18) Anti-histamine and anti-serotonin drugs, as well as substances capable of blocking synthesis of prostaglandins or activation of the kinin system, and also atropine, were ineffective in reducing the responses to TsTX or electrical stimuli.
