What's the difference between assibilation and assimilation?
Assibilation
Definition:
(n.) Change of a non-sibilant letter to a sibilant, as of -tion to -shun, duke to ditch.
Example Sentences:
Assimilation
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of assimilating or bringing to a resemblance, likeness, or identity; also, the state of being so assimilated; as, the assimilation of one sound to another.
(n.) The conversion of nutriment into the fluid or solid substance of the body, by the processes of digestion and absorption, whether in plants or animals.
Example Sentences:

(2) These results emphasize the potential importance of LPL-mediated lipid assimilation in the metabolic events that lead to energy production in response to environmental stresses and lend support to the notion that the regulation of LPL activity is tissue specific.
(3) The 13CO2 starch breath test is an attractive test for the study of factors affecting carbohydrate assimilation.
(4) In the animals the assimilation of the administered thiamin constituted 17,5-20% as compared with healthy animals; this phenomenon was accompanied by an increased urinary excretion of the vitamin.
(5) Results of these tests suggest that assimilation of protocatechuate and p-hydroxybenzoate may be a useful characteristic, when used in conjunction with traditional tests, for identifying C. parapsilosis and C. albidus.
(6) For each of the 3 major age groups (young, intermediate, and older), the paper describes general characteristics for children's though processes, ways in which children assimilate information about various aspects of AIDs, and implications for educating children about causes, prevention, and fear of AIDS.
(7) A gene (FRE1) was identified which encodes a protein required for both ferric iron reduction and efficient ferric iron assimilation, thus linking these two activities.
(8) Isotopes (153Sm, 186Re, and 166Ho) were assumed to assimilate as surface agents and the dose profiles were calculated on a microscopic scale using the Electron-Gamma Shower (EGS4) computer program.
(9) The dynamics and composition of labeled products formed upon assimilation of 14C-bicarbonate in the presence of unlabeled carbon oxide by the two organisms, the composition of products formed upon assimilation of 14CO by suspensions of S. carboxydohydrogena Z-1062 during 5 minutes, and the dynamics and composition of labeled assimilates of A. carboxydus Z-1171 after incubation in the presence of 14CO, were found to be consistent with those expected in the action of the reductive pentose phosphate Calvin cycle.
(10) The amino-oligopeptidase of the intestinal brush border possesses high specificity for oligopeptides having bulky side chains and is a candidate for a crucial role in the overall assimilation of dietary protein.
(11) Photosynthetic carbon assimilation and associated CO(2)-dependent O(2) evolution by chloroplasts isolated from pea shoots and spinach leaves is almost completely inhibited by 10mm-dl-glyceraldehyde.
(12) "They are over-assimilating to a culture that some men are now saying they don't want."
(13) NADH-GDH and AIDH are induced by ammonia, and it is suggested that these enzymes are involved in primary nitrogen assimilation.
(14) Close contacts of the yeast cells with the hydrocarbon being assimilated is important; assimilation may start in a close vicinity of the cell walls.
(15) The results suggest that the assimilation of amino acids by growing fungal cells was quantitatively comparable with their dissimilation to metabolites.
(16) This gene cluster is required for the assimilation of nitrate in A. nidulans, and the three genes encode a product required for nitrate uptake and the enzymes, nitrite reductase and nitrate reductase, respectively.
(17) The 21 biochemical and assimilation tests on the Rapid NFT test strips were treated according to the manufacturer's protocol, which included use of AUX medium (provided with the Rapid NFT system) for preparing assimilation tests, and by substituting phenol red broth base (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.)
(18) Previous studies indicate that schizophrenic thought processes show a disturbance in the balance between assimilation and accommodation, as Piaget uses these terms.
(19) Assimilation of kerosene and hexadecane was optimal at pH 2 and was stimulated by yeast extract.
(20) nit-4 is a pathway-specific regulatory gene which controls nitrate assimilation in Neurospora crassa, and appears to mediate nitrate induction of nitrate and nitrite reductase.
