Word: oscine Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin oscen (“songbird”). Pronunciation: /ˈɒ.saɪn/, /ˈɑ.saɪn/ 1. Any bird of the suborder Passeri (the songbirds), which have better vocal control than other birds. Example: Because the oscines are the most speciose group of living birds, the use of learned vocalizations for mate competition and attraction has been hypothesized to have facilitated speciation (Marler and Tamura 1962; Slabbekoorn and Smith 2002; see Ricklefs [2003] for an alternative view). Example: Oscine songbirds are capable of vocal learning. This has led to a detailed study of the sophisticated set of neural nuclei responsible for the central control of the song. Oscines also show a high degree of complexity at the level of the vocal organ. For this reason, we dedicate a section to the description of the oscine syrinx.

Word: perfuse Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *per-der.

Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰunédti ~ ǵʰundénti Proto-Italic *hundō Latin fundō Latin perfundō Latin perfūsusder. English perfuse From 1520s, from Latin perfusus, past participle of perfundo (“to pour over, besprinkle”) from per- + fundo (“to pour”) (from nasalised form of PIE root *gheu- ("to pour")); compare diffuse, suffuse. 1. To permeate or suffuse something, especially with a liquid or with light. Labels: transitive Example: Tissues can be broadly classified as poorly-perfused, adequately perfused and well-perfused on this basis as shown in Table 2.1. Note how organs with a relatively small mass, such as the heart and brain, only require a modest blood flow to perfuse them well.

To force a fluid to flow over or through something, especially through an organ of the body.

Thomson, Gary Wild, Lipid Absorption and the Unstirred layers, Charles M. Mansbach II, Patrick Tso, Arnis Kuksis (editors), Intestinal Lipid Metabolism, Kluwer Academic / Plenum Publishers, page 140, The change in the ratio of the uptake of xylose and urea could not be explained just by an alteration in UWL resistance or by a change in the laminar flow properties of the perfused fluid.

Example: London's Marylebone station was also on the Minister of Transport's hit-list for closure, with High Wycombe/Aylesbury services diverted to Paddington and closure of the Northolt-Neasden link via Wembley Park. (Both Marylebone and the lines to it are still open in 2020) 2. A similar list of people to be approached for a charitable donation. 3. Any list of things to be acquired or conquered.

In a probabilistic manner; using a method based on probability.

Word: probabilistic Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From probabil(ity) + -istic and probabil(ism) + -istic.

Example: Richard Hanania—one of those weird right-wing randos who appear on the scene out of nowhere every few months, suddenly raised to Twitter prominence for some occult algorithmic/dark-money reason that we will never get a good answer about—wrote a long newsletter in which he endorses opposing The Current Thing as a “heuristic”: “I would argue that a probabilistic approach suggests that we should be anti-current thing.” Example: Johnson explained that absolute gauging assumed that everything that could go wrong would go wrong at the same time, resulting in the train hitting the platform. In contrast, probabilistic gauging says that everything can go wrong, but not at the same time. For the Pitsea '357', probabilistic gauging estimated a 0.00001% chance of the train hitting the platform. That seems much closer to the daily life of Pitsea Platform 2. 2. Of or pertaining to the Roman Catholic doctrine of probabilism.
