A term used to describe speech that is indirect and delayed in reaching the point because of unnecessary, tedious details and parenthetical remarks. Circumstantial replies or statements may be prolonged for many minutes if the speaker is not interrupted and urged to get to the point. Interviewers often respond to circumstantiality by interrupting the speaker in order to complete the process of history taking within an allotted time. This may make it difficult to distinguish loosening of associations from circumstantiality. In the former there is a lack of connection between clauses, but in the latter the clauses always retain a meaningful connection. In loosening of associations, the original point is lost, whereas in circumstantiality, the speaker is always aware of the original point, goal, or topic. 1, record 4, English, - circumstantiality

Expression utilisée pour décrire un discours indirect qui tarde à atteindre son objectif à cause de détails inutiles et ennuyeux et de remarques incidentes. Les réponses ou les déclarations détaillées de ce type peuvent se prolonger pendant plusieurs minutes si le locuteur n'est pas interrompu et instamment pressé d'aller à l'essentiel. Les interlocuteurs répliquent souvent à ce comportement en interrompant le sujet afin qu'il complète le récit de son histoire dans un temps limité. Cela peut rendre difficile la distinction entre un relâchement des associations et ce trouble. Dans le premier cas, il existe un manque de lien entre les propositions; dans le second, les propositions gardent toujours un lien logique entre elles. Dans le relâchement des associations, le point de départ est oublié tandis qu'ici, le locuteur est toujours conscient du point de départ, du but ou du sujet du discours. La prolixité circonlocutoire est courante chez les Personnalités de type obsessionnel-compulsif et chez de nombreux sujets ne souffrant d'aucun trouble mental. 1, record 4, French, - prolixit%C3%A9%20circonlocutoire

In Car Service terminology, a car intended for and belonging to a railroad with which the handling carrier does not have an interchange. In the case of box cars of indirect ownership mechanically designated as "XM", there exists a short routing plan (CSD-90 or SCO-90) established and controlled by the A.A.R., which allows each railroad to dispose of these cars when empty to certain railroads and at specified junction points without regard to prior inbound route of loaded movement of the cars. In the case of gondolas and flats of indirect ownership with a specified mechanical designation, short routing plan SCO-100 is used. 3, record 7, English, - indirect%20connection%20car

An analysis of the amino acid sequences of variable regions of human and mouse antibody molecules was performed. It involved comparison of their constituent tetrapeptides with those found in a reference set(the somatic self) built with non-immunological proteins found in a protein data base. It appeared that hypervariable regions, particularly CDR1 and CDR3, are often made up of rare tetrapeptides not present in the reference set. As assessed by simple statistical tests, this bias was significant. We discuss its possible connection with the problem of antibody immunogenicity. This result provides indirect support for the existence of idiopeptides predicted by the "peptidic self model". 2, record 9, English, - peptidic%20self%20model
