What's the difference between dissimile and illustration?

Dissimile


Definition:

  • (n.) Comparison or illustration by contraries.

  • (20) The first two enzymes employed by a Bacillus species for the dissimilation of nicotinic acid are coordinately induced.

Illustration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of illustrating; the act of making clear and distinct; education; also, the state of being illustrated, or of being made clear and distinct.
  • (n.) That which illustrates; a comparison or example intended to make clear or apprehensible, or to remove obscurity.
  • (n.) A picture designed to decorate a volume or elucidate a literary work.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) By presenting the case history of a man who successively developed facial and trigeminal neural dysfunction after Mohs chemosurgery of a PCSCC, this paper documents histologically the occurrence of such neural invasion, and illustrates the utility of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance scanning in patient management.
  • (2) In contrast, resting cells of strain CHA750 produced five times less IAA in a buffer (pH 6.0) containing 1 mM-L-tryptophan than did resting cells of the wild-type, illustrating the major contribution of TSO to IAA synthesis under these conditions.
  • (3) In this paper, we show representative experiments illustrating some characteristics of the procedure which may have wide application in clinical microbiology.
  • (4) A complex linkage between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix is illustrated both in the cord forming Sertoli and granulosa cells, and in the adjacent mesenchymal cells.
  • (5) The following case report illustrates such a case as well as its successful treatment using the BICEPS model.

  • (10) A theory of action is presented which illustrates that certain forms of action are ones from which learning is not possible, but when the form of action is experiential or creative, then learning from it follows--as a result of both monitoring and reflecting.
  • (11) Two illustrative cases are presented to demonstrate such features.
  • (12) The information from the literature and the data from the authors' clinical experience have been used to illustrate important points in the discussion.
  • (13) These results illustrate that NGF can promote either growth or differentiation of PC12 cells, and that myc or E1A alter the phenotypic responses to growth factors and hormones.
