The phrase "active and quiescent" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing states of being, particularly in scientific or technical discussions, such as biology or physics.
Example: "The cells can exist in two states: active and quiescent, depending on the environmental conditions."
Alternatives: "active and dormant" or "active and inactive".
There was a strikingly low general interest in sexual activities in both patients with active and quiescent disease.
We found similar, elevated levels of circulating Th17 cells both in patients with active and quiescent GPA, implying that there was no association with disease activity.
Prominences vary considerably in size, shape, and motion and are of two main types, active and quiescent.
By 1871, Secchi classified prominences into active and quiescent prominences.
Here, this balanced state is achieved through a trade-off between the rates at which neurones become active and quiescent.
The irrigation of Nereis and Arenicola is intermittent with active and quiescent periods in a more or less rhythmic fashion.
Bursting oscillations are characterized by the alternation between periods of fast spiking (the active phase) and quiescent periods (the silent phase), and accompanied by slow variations in one or more slowly changing variables, such as the intracellular calcium concentration.
Under these conditions, the durations of the active episodes and quiescent episodes similar to the control behaviours.
Under these conditions the durations of the active episodes and quiescent episodes were also similar to the controls.
Th17 expansion was similar between active GPA and quiescent GPA (n = 42, 1.7 ± 1.4% vs. 1.9 ± 1.5%, P = 0.37. Seven patients first assessed during the active state of disease were sampled again during remission (median time between visits 118 days, range 71 to 567 days).
It will also explain the puzzling clinical observations that some SLE patients are serologically active and clinically quiescent while others are clinically active and serologically quiescent.
