What's the difference between analogy and consensus?

Analogy


Definition:

  • (n.) A resemblance of relations; an agreement or likeness between things in some circumstances or effects, when the things are otherwise entirely different. Thus, learning enlightens the mind, because it is to the mind what light is to the eye, enabling it to discover things before hidden.
  • (n.) A relation or correspondence in function, between organs or parts which are decidedly different.
  • (n.) Proportion; equality of ratios.
  • (n.) Conformity of words to the genius, structure, or general rules of a language; similarity of origin, inflection, or principle of pronunciation, and the like, as opposed to anomaly.

Example Sentences:

  • (12) The changes in muscle activity had the same pattern and similar phase-frequency properties to those observed under analogous vestibular stimulation during the maintenance of steady posture.
  • (13) Reconstituted freeze dried allogeneic skin grafts contained virtually no blood, a phenomenon possibly analogous to the 'no reflow' phenomenon of microsurgery.
  • (14) A comparative evaluation of these data suggest that hormone independent cells are present in the cervical crypts of late menopause women and that a cyclic change of hormone dependent cells may occur in fertile women, analogous to the cyclic changes of endometrial mucosa.
  • (15) A hybrid analog cecropin A-(1-11) D-(12-37) was designed and predicted to have enhanced potency.
  • (16) A new analog of salmon calcitonin (N alpha-propionyl Di-Ala1,7,des-Leu19 sCT; RG-12851; here termed CTR), which lacks the ring structure of native calcitonin, was tested for biological activity in several in vitro and in vivo assay systems.
  • (17) Several derivatives and analogs of the recently reported antiproliferative and antitumor agent trans-bis(salicylaldoximato)copper(II) (CuSAO2) have been prepared and tested for antiproliferative activity against L1210 leukemia cells in vitro.
  • (18) The analogy with infant sleep patterns and results of studies of brain function in narcoleptics suggest that forebrain inhibitory processes are more important in narcoleptic symptomology than is brainstem dysfunction.
  • (19) Such agents may permit the synthesis of additional analogs in an effort to obtain optimal affinity in the Tc-99m complexes.
  • (20) We found that 1) polyclonal antibodies raised against epithelial Na+ channel proteins from bovine kidney cross-react with a 135-kDa protein in ATII membrane vesicles on Western blots; 2) using the photoreactive amiloride analog, 2'-methoxy-5'-nitrobenzamil (NMBA), in combination with anti-amiloride antibodies, we found that NMBA specifically labeled the same M(r) protein; and 3) monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies directed against anti-amiloride antibodies also recognized this same M(r) protein on Western blots.

Consensus


Definition:

  • (n.) Agreement; accord; consent.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The deduced amino acid sequence contained no consensus sequence indicative of N-glycosylation.
  • (2) Translation of the tnsC ORF reveals strong homology to a consensus sequence for nucleotide binding sites as well as a region of similarity to a transcriptional activator (MalT).
  • (3) All members of this family contain consensus sequence elements consistent with GTP binding near their amino termini, although none has been shown to have GTPase activity.
  • (4) The C4 and C4b models are compared with possible structures for the C1 component of complement to show the importance of the surface accessibility of the protease domains and short consensus repeat domains in C1 for C4 activation.
  • (5) For dyslexia, schizophrenia, and depression, there is a considerable volume of research reports but still no consensus about how to use quantitative EEG tests for care of individual patients.
  • (6) Environmental campaigners had been apprehensive about the chances of the Senate ratifying a new international treaty – a successor to the Kyoto protocol – to combat global warming unless a consensus had already been reached on Capitol Hill.
  • (7) Since the N-terminal amino acid of the coat protein of PVA was blocked, the position of the putative coat protein cleavage site has been deduced by searching for consensus sequences and by the analogy to other potyviruses.

  • (9) However, a purified recombinant fragment of the GR which contained essentially only its DNA binding domain was unable to bind at the GME although it interacted strongly with a consensus GRE sequence.
  • (10) And there seems to be party consensus that this is a good thing; a poll released this week by NBC News and Survey Monkey found that 57% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters want Sanders to stay in the race until the convention.
  • (11) A consensus promoter sequence was found immediately 5' to the first ORF.
  • (12) The nucleotide sequence of the E3 promoter region revealed consensus sequences for several DNA binding proteins but no apparent TATA box or Sp1 sites.
  • (13) Among the implications of the less-than-impressive substantive results of the MWTA is the lesson that while a crisis can tilt the political balance in favor of regulatory legislation, it cannot as readily produce the consensus required to sustain that regulation at the levels promised in the legislation.
