What's the difference between tessera and tesseral?
Tessera
Definition:
(n.) A small piece of marble, glass, earthenware, or the like, having a square, or nearly square, face, used by the ancients for mosaic, as for making pavements, for ornamenting walls, and like purposes; also, a similar piece of ivory, bone, wood, etc., used as a ticket of admission to theaters, or as a certificate for successful gladiators, and as a token for various other purposes.
Example Sentences:
(1) Transmission electron microscopy shows calcification in close association with coarse collagen fibrils on the outer side of a tessera, but such fibrils are absent from the cartilaginous matrix along the under side of tesserae.
(2) If so, the cap could be considered a thin veneer of bone atop the calcified cartilage of the body of a tessera.
(3) The outer zone of tesserae, the cap, is composed of calcified tissue which appears to be produced by perichondrial fibroblasts more directly, i.e., without first differentiating as chondroblasts.
(4) Individual tesserae develop peripherally at the boundary between cartilage and perichondrium.
(5) Calcospherites and hydroxyapatite crystals similar to those commonly seen on the surface of bone are present on the outer surface of the tessera adjacent to the perichondrium.
(6) By scanning electron microscopy it was observed that outer and inner surfaces of tesserae differ in appearance.
Tesseral
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or containing, tesserae.
(a.) Isometric.
Example Sentences:
(1) This study was conducted to examine the effects of individual differences in affiliation motivation, achievement motivation, and self-esteem on the self-evaluation maintenance (SEM) model proposed by Tesser et al.
(2) The tesserate pattern of endoskeletal calcification has been investigated in jaws, gill arches, vertebral arches and fins of the sharks Carcharhinus menisorrah, Triaenodon obesus and Negaprion brevirostris by techniques of light and electron microscopy.
(3) News on that category and more of the pre-ceremony award winners below: • Neil Tesser won best album notes for his work on Afro Blue Impressions (Remastered and Expanded).
(4) Calcification in the tesserate pattern occurring in modern Chondrichthyes may be derived from an ancestral pattern of a continuous bed of calcified cartilage underlying a layer of perichondral bone, as theorized by Orvig ('51); or the tesserate pattern in these fish may itself be primitive.
(5) The results of this random order model are compared with those of a consecutive order model proposed by Gribnau and Tesser.
(6) Content analyses of subjects' relevant essays yielded additional data confirming Tesser's ideas regarding mediation: High (vs. low) consistency subjects expressed a greater proportion of cognitions that were evaluatively consistent with their prior affect toward the attitude object and a smaller proportion of evaluatively inconsistent and neutral cognitions.
(7) In previous work, Tesser and Campbell (1982) found that Ss were most charitable in their perception of another's performance when self-relevance was low and the other was close.
(8) In this study, two-dimensional proton NMR experiments were performed on a chemically synthesized pentacosapeptide containing the first 25 amino acids of this coat protein [Ten Kortenaar, P. B. W., Krüse, J., Hemminga, M. A., & Tesser, G. I.
