What's the difference between chachalaca and guan?
Chachalaca
Definition:
(n.) The Texan guan (Ortalis vetula).
Example Sentences:
(1) Like other bird lysozymes c, that of the chachalaca has 129 amino acid residues.
(2) When the hydropathic approach is used for comparison of lysozymes c, the enzyme obtained from chachalaca egg-white is placed closer to those from pheasant-like birds than to those of ducks; this result agrees with the morphological resemblance of the chachalaca to pheasant-like birds.
(3) During the present study there was no evidence that plain chachalacas died as a direct result of exposure to agricultural chemicals, nor was there evidence that eggshells of this species have thinned significantly since 1900.
(4) Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectra with 229-nm excitation are reported for aqueous tyrosine and for ovomucoid third domain proteins from chicken [OMCHI3(-)] and from chachalaca [OMCHA(-)], as well as alpha 1-, alpha 2-, and beta-purothionin.
(5) If this contrast between organismal and molecular results had been based on comparative studies with only lysozyme, one could have ascribed the contrast to the possibility that chachalaca lysozyme was paralogous, rather than orthologous, to the other bird lysozymes c. Examination of several proteins is thus desirable in cases of possible paralogy.
(6) It was found that trees constructed for birds on the basis of immunological comparison of their transferrins, albumins, and ovalbumins agree approximately with a published tree based on the amino acid sequences of their lysozymes c. This congruency is especially noteworthy with respect to the phylogenetic position of the chachalaca, a Mexican bird classified on morphological grounds in the family Cracidae of the order Galliformes.
(7) Immunological comparison of chachalaca lysozyme c with other lysozymes of known sequence provides further support for the proposal that immunological cross-reactivity is strongly dependent on degree of sequence resemblance among bird lysozymes.
(8) Plain chachalacas (Ortalis vetula) from the intensively cultivated and sprayed Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas were analyzed for pesticide residues during 1971 and 1972.
(9) Although the chachalaca is classified zoologically in the order Galliformes, which includes chickens and other pheasant-like birds, its lysozyme differs more from those of pheasant-like birds than do the lysozymes c of ducks.
(10) Zinc toxicosis was diagnosed in a gray-headed chachalaca (Ortalis cinereiceps) due to ingestion of a copper-plated zinc penny.
(11) Phylogenetic analysis of the sequence comparisons confirms that the lineage leading to chachalaca lysozyme c separated from that leading to other galliform lysozymes c before the duck lysozyme c lineage did.
(12) The amino acid sequence of lysozyme c from chachalaca egg white was determined.
Guan
Definition:
(n.) Any one of many species of large gallinaceous birds of Central and South America, belonging to Penelope, Pipile, Ortalis, and allied genera. Several of the species are often domesticated.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results indicated that it is reasonable to consider that "Kuo Guan" powder is an immunoregulative preparation for patients with BXBS syndrome of IHD angina.
(2) Asked directly if he believed another ratings cut was inevitable, Guan replies: "I think so."
(3) In an interview with Talk to Al-Jazeera, Guan agrees that it is almost inevitable that his agency will cut America's debt rating once again, arguing that the only solution open to the US economy is further quantitative easing.
(4) Writing in the journal Nature , Guan calls for long-term surveillance of viruses in birds, to give health authorities early warning of dangerous strains that emerge.
(5) We reported the construction of the vector pGEX-KG (K. Guan and J. E. Dixon, 1991, Anal.
(6) SBF in 15 regions (sacral spot and bilateral nail-fold, Zu-San-Li, San-Yin-Jiao, Tai-Xi, Xing-Jian, Guan-Yuan-Shu and femur) was measured by means of Laser Doppler Flowmeter in 193 patients with paraplegia resulted from trauma during the Tangshan earthquake, and the result was compared with that in 53 normal subjects.
(7) The above results suggested that guan-fu base A could block the fast Na+ channels and exhibited anti-arrhythmic action.
(8) The author's real name is Guan Moye; "Mo Yan" means "don't speak" in Chinese.
(9) Our recent anterior drawer studies in human cadaveric knees [Guan and Butler, Adv.
(10) The remarks by Dagong's chairman, Guan Jianzhong, to be broadcast in an interview with al-Jazeera on Saturday morning, come at the end of another week of deep turmoil for the world economy.
(11) A successful birth is far from certain despite the carefully cultivated expectation the zoo has built up since the excitement in April over its attempts to get Tian Tian to mate with Yang Guan.
(12) The inhibition of guan-fu base A on Vmax showed frequency dependent effects.
(13) We have previously demonstrated (Guan X.-P., Hromchak, R. A., and Bloch, A.
(14) The pollution level will gradually improve, as the overall average figures show,” insists Dabo Guan, professor in climate change economics at the University of East Anglia, who believes Beijing will be one of the first large Chinese cities to tackle air pollution thoroughly.
(15) Mo Yan – whose real name is Guan Moye – took the literature Nobel on Thursday, prompting celebrations from state media , although prominent Chinese names have criticised the Nobel jury's decision to award the prize to a writer close to the establishment, with Ai Weiwei calling it " an insult to humanity and to literature ".
(16) However, Guan believes Beijing’s eventual success may come at a cost for other parts of China as they take up more of the industrial strain.
(17) Guan-fu base A and the internal standard alprenolol (ALP) was found to react rapidly and quantitatively with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) to produce derivatives GFA-TFAA and ALP-TFAA which were identified by GC-MSD.
