Analysing Separates material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. Distinguishes between facts and inferences. Students analyse the structures of different compounds to explain that different smells are caused by different arrangements of atoms in a molecule. They analyse the relationship between temperature and volume of gases. analyses, breaks down, compares, contrasts, diagrams, deconstructs, differentiates, discriminates, distinguishes, identifies, illustrates, infers, outlines, relates, selects, separates... 

At low rotation rates, less than the chemical shifts anisotropy, however, the powder spectra contained disturbing side bands dispersed among the isotropic chemical shifts. In order to discriminate between sidebands and isotropic resonances two spectra obtained at different spinning speeds were multiplied together or the differentiation was made by visual inspection. 

No geographic structure was revealed by this analysis, with trees from Arch Cape, Oregon, Whitetish, Montana, and sites from northern British Columbia, including Queen Charlotte Islands, being closely associated. The authors remarked on the lack of differentiation between coastal and interior populations. A reinvestigation of red cedar from 55 sites (3-6 trees per site) provided a new data set that was analyzed by numerical and discriminant-function analyses (von Rudloff et al., 1988). These analyses confirmed the low intra- and interpopulational variation seen in the earlier study, but did reveal small differences between coastal and interior populations. No correlations between northern and southern populations emerged from the analyses likewise, elevation had no effect on terpene composition. 

As with in vivo voltammetry, a variety of electrochemical techniques have been used for the stripping step. Because of its simplicity, linear sweep voltammetry has enjoyed widespread use however, the detection limit of this technique is limited by charging current. Differential pulse has become popular because it discriminates against the charging current to provide considerably lower detection limits. 

Quinones, lipid-soluble substances involved in electron transport, can also be used as biomarkers. Lipski et al. (155) u.sed quinone analyses, physiological tests, and fatty acid profiles to differentiate Gram-negative non-fermentative bacteria isolated from biofilters. Quinone type was found to be an efficient method to group isolates prior to the analysis of results from the physiological tests. The detection of quinones appears to be restricted to the discrimination of isolated colonies and has limited potential to the analysis of mixed populations. 

We are routinely screening compounds for ability to displace 1-125 DOI from frontal cortex homogenates. As far as the CNS stimulant effects, differentiating from psychostimulants, the present model we are using is substitution in amphetamine-trained rats, in drug discrimination. We have used synaptosomes and looked at their effect on dopamine release and reuptake. But basically they are correlative models.

Sexually differentiated responses to female-soiled bedding occur within the regions of the AOB only the rostral zone was -activated in males as opposed to that of females the caudal zone cells had no such differential activation VN-x removed the response (Dudley and Moss, 1999 Matsuoka et al., 1999). The number of Fos-ii cells was larger after exposure to females of ICR stain, than to BALB females. Male strain-differences gave equivalent amounts of rostral/caudal activity in females. It is probable that discrimination by females of between-strain chemosignals is related to the fine distinctions possible through the operation of cues related to influence of products from the MHC loci.
