What's the difference between shuttle and woof?

Shuttle


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument used in weaving for passing or shooting the thread of the woof from one side of the cloth to the other between the threads of the warp.
  • (n.) The sliding thread holder in a sewing machine, which carries the lower thread through a loop of the upper thread, to make a lock stitch.
  • (n.) A shutter, as for a channel for molten metal.
  • (v. i.) To move backwards and forwards, like a shuttle.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) No effect was observed on the [6-3H]glucose half-life suggesting the dicarboxylic acid shuttle is unaffected by adrenalectomy; the Cori cycle is also not influenced.
  • (6) The implication that attenuation is due to the inhibition of energy transport via a PCr shuttle resulting in the decrease of ATP and accumulation of inhibitory levels of ADP distally has been supported by calculating sperm PCr and ATP levels resulting from diffusion along the flagellum.
  • (7) These results are consistent with data previously obtained by others in the supF shuttle vector system and the CHO aprt gene.
  • (8) The use of a new single long-terminal-repeat retroviral shuttle vector has allowed us to obtain copies of the Ld gene with the first seven exons spliced correctly, as well as many other partially spliced or aberrantly recombined copies.
  • (9) In addition, shuttle vectors that can be established both in Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli have been constructed by adding a pMB9 replicon.
  • (10) To gain insight into the mechanisms by which carcinogens induce mutations in human cells, we have been comparing the frequency and spectrum of mutations induced when a shuttle vector, pS189, carrying covalently bound residues of structurally related carcinogens, replicates in human 293 cells.
  • (11) A possible functional role for LDH isoenzyme X is proposed: the redox couple-2-oxo acid-2-hydroxy acid could integrate a shuttle system transferring reducing equivalents from cytoplasm to mitochondria.
  • (12) In contrast to these enzymes, the levels of cytoplasmic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (cGPDH), the enzyme representative of the alpha-glycerophosphate shuttle, were higher (25%) in the type II fibres.
  • (13) In cells from hypothyroid animals, a 58% depression of glucose formation and 68% reduction in ureogenesis were induced by n-butylmalonate, an inhibitor of the malate shuttle.
  • (14) It has recently been shown that transport of electron opaque tracers can occur via the vesicular system, but the detailed ultrastructure is inconsistent with the transcytotic shuttling of single vesicles.
  • (15) The fragment mediates an increased level of methicillin resistance when inserted into a shuttle vector and transformed back into the sensitive strain generated when the original DNA was deleted.
  • (16) Rats were trained to perform shuttle responses to a buzzer in four different situations: pseudoconditioning or D test (buzzers and footshocks presented at random), classical conditioning or DP test (buzzers and footshocks paired on every trial), avoidance without stimulus pairing or DC test (buzzer-shock intervals varied at random, shocks contingent upon non-emission of a shuttle response to the preceding buzzer), and standard two-way avoidance or DPC test (buzzers paired to shocks, but the latter omitted every time there was shuttling to the buzzer).
  • (17) A Thermus-E. coli shuttle vector pYK109 was constructed.
  • (18) This shuttle may function at specific times to catalytically generate cytosolic NADP+ and in turn regulate enzymes limited by [NADP+].
  • (19) Lack of actin filaments around giant vacuoles in Schlemm's canal indicates that they do not play a role in shuttling aqueous across the endothelium of the canal.
  • (20) In addition, prenatal alcohol exposure produced a deficit in acquisition and performance of a shuttle-avoidance task.

Woof


Definition:

  • (n.) The threads that cross the warp in a woven fabric; the weft; the filling; the thread usually carried by the shuttle in weaving.
  • (n.) Texture; cloth; as, a pall of softest woof.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Together with his late wife Janet, he wrote 37 titles including perennial favourites The Jolly Postman and Burglar Bill, and by himself he is the author of many more, including The Pencil, and Woof!
  • (2) While the slackening of the woof and the dimension of the meshes are minimal at both the beginning and end of the cycle, they reach a maximum on forteenth day.
  • (3) Well Dave genuinely thought the reptiles would go mad for tantric sex lolz because when he tested it in cabinet people were seriously woof, Govey was so hysterical that Haguey was like, hark at Lady Govina, titter ye not missus & Picklesy kept shouting encore, so Dave said funny you should ask, well they have this position called the BT engineer as in you stay in all day and no one comes.
  • (4) I think the difficult thing is just having to juggle your career and your spare time with a dog,” she tells me when we meet for our cutesily termed “welcome woof”, a brief rendezvous to check all three of us are happy at the prospect of handing over the leash.
  • (5) In some ways the former possibility, the woof-woof hypothesis, is the more entertaining.
  • (6) Smarter pseudonymous writers than I have explained why people like King and network TV hosts simultaneously call America the greatest nation on earth and explain that it’s in dire existential danger at the slightest jihadi woofing, and that’s because it moves the dial.
  • (7) The use of the Scanning Electron Microscope has made it possible through observation to study the human cervical mucus through the various stages of the ovarian cycle, as well as to describe the significant variations of the meshed woof making up the ultrastructure during the ovarian cycle.
  • (8) Last week Sir Nicholas Soames started 'woofing' when SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh was speaking in the house Davis’s subsequent text messages have now been made public, where he says he wouldn’t hug Abbott because “I am not blind”.
