What's the difference between transmission and transmittal?

Transmission


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of transmitting, or the state of being transmitted; as, the transmission of letters, writings, papers, news, and the like, from one country to another; the transmission of rights, titles, or privileges, from father to son, or from one generation to another.
  • (n.) The right possessed by an heir or legatee of transmitting to his successor or successors any inheritance, legacy, right, or privilege, to which he is entitled, even if he should die without enjoying or exercising it.

Example Sentences:

  • (13) The presence of potential insect vectors and the occurrence of clinical signs are indications of active transmissions.
  • (14) Transmission in these pathways is enhanced in Parkinson's disease.
  • (15) There was a considerably greater risk of transmission by younger children.
  • (16) A compensator connected to the section consisting of the pump-main line-operating member and including a pneumatic resistance and a flaxid non-elastic container enables it in combination with the feedback to maintain through the volumetric displacement of the gas, or changing the pump diaphragm position, the stability of the gas volume in the pneumatic transmission element of the assisted circulation apparatus.
  • (17) The possibility that HBV and HIV act as cofactors for each other's transmission could not be ruled out.
  • (18) Using serial-sectioning techniques for conventional transmission and high-voltage electron microscopy, we characterized the ultrastructural features and synaptic contacts of the sensory cell in tentacles of Hydra.
  • (19) Principal conclusions are: 1) rapid change to predominantly heterosexual HIV transmission can occur in North America, with serious societal impact; 2) gender-specific clinical features can lead to earlier diagnosis of HIV infection in women; 3) HIV infection in women does not pursue an inherently more rapid course than that observed in men.
  • (20) Routine vaccination of travellers to endemic areas cannot be recommended; however, for people travelling to regions with a high transmission rate vaccination should be considered.

Transmittal


Definition:

  • (n.) Transmission.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate release from the treated side was higher than the control value during the first 2-3 h, a result indicating an important role of glial cells in the inactivation of released transmitter.
  • (2) In contrast, the effects of deltamethrin and cypermethrin promote transmitter release by a Na+ dependent process.
  • (3) Media made hyperosmotic with sucrose increase the frequency of spontaneously released quanta of transmitter, or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials (MEPSPs).
  • (4) Ruthenium red (RuR) inhibits Ca2+ uptake and transmitter release in synaptosomes, and produces flaccid paralysis when injected intraperitoneally (IP) and convulsions after intracranial administration.

  • (7) Assays of isolated single sympathetic neurones show that their transmitter functions can be either adrenergic or cholinergic depending on growth conditions.
  • (8) Heart rates were obtained simultaneously from FM radio transmitters and heart rate monitors externally mounted on unanesthetized and unrestrained mixed-breed goats.
  • (9) It is concluded that catechol potentiates excitatory transmission at the LOT-superficial pyramidal cell synapse, possibly by increasing evoked transmitter release.

  • (11) Today's identification of four types and various sub-types of 5-HT receptors has revealed the extraordinary eclecticism of this transmitter which within migraine's clinical expression underscores that migraine sufferers are characterized by a marked sensitivity to all the drugs capable of acutely or chronically interacting with serotonin metabolism and binding with many serotonin receptor types and sub-types.
