  • (13) Twenty-six rapidly adapting units (RA), eighteen slowly adapting units (SA) and ten Pacinian corpuscle units (PC) were differentiated from each other mainly on the presence of the off response in RA and PC units to a ramp stimulation, the persistence of discharges of the SA units during steady pressure on the receptive field and the classical tuning curve seen in the PC units.
  • (14) The doom-laden voiceover claims Miliband could only secure power through a deal with the SNP and that Salmond would be able to “call the tune”.
  • (15) The use of this selector creates a possibility of reducing the increase in the synchronizing pulse with respect to the channel pulses and eliminating tuning the transmitter's modulator and receiver's selector to each other.
  • (16) I'm sure Evan wouldn't mind me saying that he makes no secret of an occasional discomfort about conventional chord-change playing in jazz, and tends to sit out occasions where it's required, as he did last year in London on a gig in which the pianist Django Bates was reworking Charlie Parker tunes.
  • (17) In general, the results were consistent in showing that there is a systematic change in the variables which define the quality of tuning as hearing loss progressively increases and that these changes are clearly related to outer hair cell losses.
  • (18) For velocity tuning curves, a few cell pairs showed selective attenuation at high speeds, while others showed it at low speeds.
  • (19) The national anthems Nothing to say about the Indian anthem, but the New Zealand one sounds like the theme tune for an 1960s ATV variety spectacular.
  • (20) "I'd tuned in to watch United vs Liverpool in the Premier League," writes Fraser Thomas.

Tuner


Definition:

  • (n.) One who tunes; especially, one whose occupation is to tune musical instruments.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Kinetic analysis shows that this scheme reduces errors at 'hungry' codons considerably more effectively than J. Ninio's accuracy tuner model; for example, a 10-fold decrease in cognate aminoacyl-tRNA elicits only a 10% increase in the error frequency.
