Simulated
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Simulate

(12) A rubber cuff was fixed on the metal cylinder and let an opening of 8 cm, simulating the cervix uteri.
(13) It is suggested that this human model of unloading could serve to simulate effects of microgravity on skeletal muscle mass and function because reductions in muscle mass and strength were of similar magnitude to those produced by bed rest.

(16) Using the rate coefficient values found by SCoPfit, we simulated a voltage-clamp experiment with both models running under their Na(+)-Na+ exchange mode, and we computed the transient currents generated following voltage steps in both depolarizing and hyperpolarizing directions from a basic potential of -40 mV.
(17) By using increased feed-forward gain in a sampled-data control model we simulated the pattern of macrosaccadic oscillation.
(18) Studies on antimicrobial effect kinetics in dynamic models in vitro simulating pharmacokinetic profiles observed in humans markedly promote the problem solution.
(19) The technique was applied to the classification of MUAP's extracted from simulated myoelectric signals.
(20) The latter animals were raised in an automated feeding device (Autosow) with an artificial diet simulating the nutritional composition of sow milk.
Virtual
Definition:
(a.) Having the power of acting or of invisible efficacy without the agency of the material or sensible part; potential; energizing.
(a.) Being in essence or effect, not in fact; as, the virtual presence of a man in his agent or substitute.
Example Sentences:
(1) Virtually every developed country has some form of property tax, so the idea that valuing residential property is uniquely difficult, or that it would be widely evaded, is nonsense.
(2) The Nazi extermination of Jews in Lithuania (aided enthusiastically by local Lithuanians) was virtually total.
(3) There was virtually no difference in a set of subtypic determinants between the serum and liver.
(4) We identified four distinct clinical patterns in the 244 patients with true positive MAI infections: (a) pulmonary nodules ("tuberculomas") indistinguishable from pulmonary neoplasms (78 patients); (b) chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis with sputum repeatedly positive for MAI or granulomas on biopsy (58 patients, virtually all older white women); (c) cavitary lung disease and scattered pulmonary nodules mimicking M. tuberculosis infection (12 patients); (d) diffuse pulmonary infiltrations in immunocompromised hosts, primarily patients with AIDS (96 patients).
(5) Thin films (OD approximately 0.7) of glucose-embedded membranes, prepared as a control, showed virtually 100% conversion to the M state, and stacks of such thin film specimens gave very similar x-ray diffraction patterns in the bR568 and the M412 state in most experiments.
(6) The pathway of ketogenesis in renal cortex must differ from that of the liver, as beta-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl-CoA synthetase is virtually absent from the kidney.
(7) The diet increased the formation of a cholesterol-rich very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated cholesterol and phospholipids, but had virtually no effect on low density lipoprotein (LDL)-lipids.
(8) Reconstituted freeze dried allogeneic skin grafts contained virtually no blood, a phenomenon possibly analogous to the 'no reflow' phenomenon of microsurgery.
(9) Endotoxin is virtually devoid of effects at the metastatic level.
(10) When collateral marginal vessels were eliminated, adjacent arterial blood flow decreased to control levels and venous flow virtually stopped.
(11) In contrast, the fast block by internal TEA+ appeared virtually independent of voltage.
(12) Mice homozygous for mutations at either locus exhibit several phenotypic abnormalities including a virtual absence of mast cells.
