What's the difference between tastable and testable?
Tastable
Definition:
(a.) Capable of worthy of being tasted; savory; relishing.
Example Sentences:
(1) Genetic markers typed are: A1A2B0, Rho(D) blood group systems glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, transferrin, haptoglobin, groupspecific component, haemoglobin, colour-vision deficiency and tastability to P. T. C. Using frequency data for the above nine genetic loci, genetic distances between the five endogamous tribes, and between the five groups of Koya Dora are calculated by adopting the statistical method of Edwards (1971).
Testable
Definition:
(a.) Capable of being tested or proved.
(a.) Capable of being devised, or given by will.
Example Sentences:
(1) Since group therapy and sensory stimulation over a relatively short period can result in clinical and testable improvement, the diagnosis of "chronic brain syndrome" in the elderly should not be allowed to preclude the provision of appropriate psychiatric therapy.
(2) The tenability of the formulation is readily testable by clinical research.
(3) Phenomenological equations are represented in the form of an equivalent electrical circuit that can be used to deduce testable relations among measurable quantities.
(4) Most importantly, our hypothesis leads to a series of experimentally testable predictions, which should provide considerably greater insight into the ontogeny of NK cells and their relationship to the T-cell lineage.
(5) As examples, experimentally testable mechanisms are suggested for cell surface changes in malignant transformation, and for cooperative effects exhibited in the interactions of membranes with some specific ligands.
(6) Testable inferences from this hypothesis are proposed, including the suggestion that clinically and neurophysiologically, schizophrenia and psychosomatic disorders are the obverse of one another.
(7) (Cancer Res., 50: 3445-3452, 1990) suggests two novel, yet testable, hypotheses: (a) the early pharmacokinetics of low molecular weight agents can have an important effect on later concentrations using two-step approaches; and (b) metabolism may play an important role in reducing concentrations in the tumor and tumor:plasma concentration ratios.
(8) The existence of consistent behavioral results despite uncontrollable and unpredictable influences, the simple requirements for a negative feedback system, and the identification of continuously varying purposes as representing the unfolding of behavioral events over time argue for the testable hypothesis that most behavior is produced by negative feedback control.
(9) Symmorphosis - the postulated matching of capacities to each other and to loads - is a testable hypothesis of economic design, useful in detecting and explaining cases of apparently uneconomic design.
(10) Of these, 14 were known asthmatics, 18 were not testable, and 37 were normal when retested.
(11) Statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study indicated that the Letter-Matching-Test was significantly better in terms of testability rates, group and individual instruction time, and performance time.
(12) The short term (20 parkinsonian patients on L-dopa for 22 months or less) and the long term (20 parkinsonian patients on L-dopa for 40 months or more) patients were chosen from the neurological clinic at St. Barnabas Hospital, Bronx, N.Y. Testability was assessed by the neurologis and by WAIS Vocabulary performance.
(13) This formulation presents directly testable hypotheses that could importantly impact on our understanding of the pathophysiology of affective disorders, and suggests novel therapeutic strategies through the enhancement of endogenous compensatory mechanisms.
(14) The model makes predictions which are testable in future experiments.
(15) The overall construction makes a large number of biochemical, anatomical, physiological, and psychological predictions which are either testable or in good agreement with fact.
(16) Virtually no multichannel wearer is equally testable in two, let alone more languages.
(17) The possibility of maternal effect is testable and has implications for treatment.
(18) The hypothesis, which is testable, is proposed because of doubts concerning the current concept of memory as applied to T cells, and a need to understand the consequences of the expression of MHC class II molecules by a subset of T cells.
(19) Acoustic reflex thresholds were clearly present in all testable infants at coupler sound pressure levels similar to adult data, suggesting that the relations between reflex thresholds and hearing sensitivity demonstrated in adult subjects are similarly applicable to infant subjects.
(20) The authors conclude that, despite the classic tenets, there is not testable modality specific to the DC.
