What's the difference between steeper and steerer?
Steeper
Definition:
(n.) A vessel, vat, or cistern, in which things are steeped.
Example Sentences:
(1) The slope of this line was substantially steeper than the regression line slope for treadmill running.4.
(2) The mean in the newborn-to-6-month-old group was 47.59 D; in the 12-18-month-old group it had decreased to 45.56 D. The cornea appears to stabilize at about 54 months, with an average reading of 42.69 D. Evaluation of 11 eyes diagnosed as having persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous revealed that eyes with this diagnosis generally have steeper corneas than normal eyes at any given age.
(3) Air N2 curve of COPD, however, showed a much steeper ascending plateau without CO.
(4) Stimulation of these endings also caused the TE vs TI relationship to become steeper in cats and to be displaced downwards in rabbits.
(5) When EDTA was present in the homogenization medium the curve obtained was of simpler, curvilinear type showing an increased activity at temperatures above 20 degrees C. The Na+-K+ ATPase activity in similar preparation from adult brain were not complex but curvilinear whether EDTA was used or not; however, EDTA increased the activity at temperatures above 20 degrees C. When such chelating agents as EDTA or histidine were used in preparation of microsomes from immature rat brain, the temperature dependence curve of Na+-K+ ATPase in this membrane fraction was changed to a steeper and simpler curve with increased activity especially at temperatures above 20 degrees.
(6) The slope of the 1-nitrosopyrene survival curve for XP cells was also 2.5 times steeper than that for the normal cells, but the HCMM cells showed a normal response.
(7) The slope of the 1-nitropyrene survival curve for XP cells was 2.5 times steeper than the slope of the curve of the normal cells; the slope of the 1-NP survival curve for the HCMM cells was intermediate between the XP cells and the normal fibroblasts.
(8) Many subjects in both UCLP and CP groups showed an intrinsic maxillary retrusion and a steeper mandible.
(9) The slope of this increase was 2.5 times steeper for S units than for FR units.
(10) After increasing doses of T4 administered to thyroidectomized rats, serum and cerebrocortical T4 concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner, but the increment in the latter was steeper than that in the former.
(11) Comparison with other epidemiologic studies suggests that the typical ultraviolet radiation dose-nevus yield curve might be steeper in males than females.
(12) Contractures induced by using, instead of normal Krebs solution, a solution in which potassium was replaced by sodium (Krebs potassium) were also decreased dose-dependently by amiloride, but the slope of the linear log dose-effect curve line was steeper.
(13) The pattern of dose-response curves was a continuous change from being flat (maximal delta FEV1 less than or equal to 5%), becoming steeper with a plateau that occurred at a greater change in FEV1 as the curves were shifted more to the left, to being the steepest without a plateau response.
(14) In BAPN-treated rats, the medial cross-sectional area was reduced, postmortem distensibility of vascular wall was greater, and baroreceptor reflex, estimated from heart rate responses to BP changes, showed steeper regression curves.
(15) I began the long climb up Swirral Edge, a ridge that gets progressively steeper and narrower until two-legged runners were reduced to clamberers on all fours.
(16) Growth curves of chest tumors (residual tumors) in Group B after amputation of the tumor-bearing leg were significantly steeper than those of both Group A, whose tumor-bearing legs were not amputated, and Group C, whose normal legs were amputated, at the same tumor age.
(17) The instantaneous I-V curve was linear while in the steady state the curve became flatter at low negative membrane potentials and steeper at high negative membrane potentials.
(18) Serum SHBG correlated negatively with age in both treated hypopituitary and normal boys, but the slope of the regression line was significantly steeper in treated hypopituitary boys (P less than 0.01).
(19) When administered intravenously, Ple 1053 was approximately 5 times more potent on a weight basis than furosemide, its dose-response relationship was closer and the slope was steeper.
(20) These include "a steeper than expected downturn in Europe, financial contagion related to the sovereign debt crisis, rapidly rising oil prices and geopolitical risks".
Steerer
Definition:
(n.) One who steers; as, a boat steerer.
Example Sentences:
(1) The highest mutagenic activity was found at the following work-posts: caster, moulder, steerer of an induction furnace, and smelter and in the office rooms and in the flat occupied by heavy smokers.
