Physicists distinguish between macroscopic and microscopic equations: the former determine the visible movements of bodies of ordinary size, the latter the minute occurrences in the smallest parts.
The macroscopic equations result from a process of averaging out, and may be different in different cases.
So, in our instance, the laws of macroscopic phenomena are different for mechanical and vital movements, though the laws of microscopic phenomena may be the same.
The general condition of this patient precluded a projected operation, and after death the bullet was found to be pressing laterally upon a cord not materially altered on macroscopic inspection.
Below the point of section the cord was blanched, but offered no other macroscopic evidence of disease.
In the late post-mortem examinations I witnessed, a yellow discoloration of the softened cord was the only macroscopic evidence of hæmorrhage.
On many occasions when the symptoms were considered of such a nature as to render an exploration advisable, no macroscopic evidence of gross injury was obtained.
Macroscopic life can be readily detected and kept from or removed from the spacecraft, but the detection and removal of microscopic and submicroscopic life is an extremely difficult task.
Free convection flow is a macroscopic phenomenon which increases not only with g, but varies also approximately with the five-fourths power of the bulk concentration involved.
The Grashoff number limits free convection to the macroscopic domain.
The chief and most common anomaly is the prevalence of macroscopic anomalies in the left hemisphere, which are correlated to the sensory and functional left-handedness common to criminals and acquired through illness.
The findings at autopsy were likewise similar, as gastro-enteritis was the chief lesion observed on macroscopic examination.
Macroscopic examination of the organs, however, threw some doubt on this supposition, for well-marked lesions were noticed in all of the guinea pigs which received 0.
Macroscopic Examination--Tentative A macroscopic examination is usually sufficient to show the presence of excessive amounts of black and blighted coffee beans, coffee hulls, stones, and other foreign matter.
Macroscopic Examination--Tentative Artificial coffee beans are apparent from their exact regularity of form.
Macroscopic and microscopic observations have to go hand in hand in the study of volcanic phenomena.
Their macroscopic appearances vary with the stage of the disease at which they are examined.
The alimentary tract occasionally shows macroscopic changes similar to the lesions found in man.
In these cases the junction and rows of cartilage cells are often completely disorganized, causing a marked macroscopic deformity of the bone.
It should not be regarded as "pseudo-rhachitic," but as typically scorbutic, from a microscopic as well as a macroscopic viewpoint.
The junction as a whole may present an uneven, slightly disorganized appearance and there is sometimes a certain amount of macroscopic deformity.
In view of the fact that many of the animals have taken very little food for some days previous to their death, it will be well to describe briefly the macroscopic picture of simple starvation in guinea-pigs.
Hemorrhages and separations of the epiphyses or fractures of the long bones dominate the macroscopic picture.
It is quite compact in appearance, and as a rule very few macroscopic crystals can be seen in it.
A general separation can be made into an epidotic division characterized by an abundance of macroscopic epidote and a non-epidotic division with microscopic epidote.
The schists can be definitely called volcanic in many cases, from macroscopic characters, such as the component minerals and basaltic arrangement.
Also, careful macroscopic examination suffices to show that in the transitional pelage of autumn, the brown overhairs generally are longer than the intermixed white overhairs.
Microscopically Mott confirmed the pial congestion and macroscopic subpial hemorrhages described in the gross.
In chronic cases, according to our own investigations in rabbits, there are no characteristicmacroscopic lesions, a result which agrees with Mittelstaedt's report.
In the acute case of poisoning in man reported by Tiraboschi and Taito, no macroscopicchanges were noted in the stomach mucosa.
In assigning a rock a place in this genus some regard must be paid to itsmacroscopic aspect as well as to the presence or absence of plagioclase phenocrysts.
They are for the most part dark grey dull-looking rocks, with a specific gravity of 2·7 to 2·8, showing macroscopic plagioclase together with conspicuous pyroxene phenocrysts.
The Na Raro rocks are light grey with a specific gravity in the unweathered state of about 2·6, and display macroscopic crystals of glassy plagioclase and hornblende.
They are dark grey granitoid rocks displaying abundant macroscopic pyroxene crystals 2 to 3 mm.
Tests of foraminifera, often macroscopic bottom forms, together with shells of small gasteropods, are displayed at times; but they are as a rule in such cases not frequent.
It is composed of loosely compacted subangular fragments, 1 to 3 millimetres in size, in which the macroscopic prisms of the rhombic pyroxene are especially frequent.
In the upper half occurred at first fine-grained calcareous tuffs, bedded and dipping gently down the slope, composed of palagonite-debris, mineral fragments and calcitic material and displaying a few macroscopic tests of foraminifera.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "macroscopic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
