What's the difference between dodecahedron and polyhedron?

Dodecahedron


Definition:

  • (n.) A solid having twelve faces.

Example Sentences:

  • (9) The potential types of sections through the regular dodecahedron, i.e., a twelve-sided shape with faces consisting of pentagons, seemed to fit best with present findings, and this is suggested as an idealized configuration that might be useful in various geometric determinations, e.g., estimates of alveolar surface area and volume.
  • (10) The localization of the structural protein, by labeling with periodate-oxidized glycoprotein, supported the hypothesis that 60 molecules of p49 aggregated into a dodecahedron (12 pentamers), whereas the two other proteins (p59 and p69) might have a stabilizing function and were localized on the outer surface of the p49 dodecahedron.
  • (11) Tilting experiments and rotational image analysis indicated that the iscoms were composed of 20 morphological subunits assembled in a pentagonal dodecahedron with a hole on each of the 12 pentagonal faces.
  • (12) The pentagonal dodecahedron-shaped macromolecule has a maximum diameter, as measured along the 3-fold axis, of approximately 226 A (frozen-hydrated value), and 12 large openings (approximately 63 A in diameter) on the 5-fold axes that lead into a large solvent-accessible cavity (approximately 76-140 A diameter).

  • (14) It was composed of 12 pentons (vertex capsomers plus projections) aggregated into the form of a pentagonal dodecahedron.

Polyhedron


Definition:

  • (n.) A body or solid contained by many sides or planes.
  • (n.) A polyscope, or multiplying glass.

  • (4) The Voronoi polyhedron of a given S-phase cell nucleus is that polyhedron of minimal volume defined by planes all of which are perpendicular bisectors of the vectors extending from the given cell to all other S-phase cells in the tumor.
  • (5) The co-ordination polyhedron displays approximate 4m2 symmetry.
  • (6) A minimal data structure of the polyhedron is then proposed, which contains only topological informations, since no coordinates have been generated.

  • (10) A suitable composition for the residual glass phase of bioactive glass-ceramics can be found approximately and controlled on the basis of calculation of a structural parameter Y, which in the simplified concept of the glass structure corresponds to the mean number of bridging oxygens per polyhedron in the glass lattice.
  • (11) The direct assay using 125I-labeled rabbit immunoglobulins could detect 0.2 microng of polyhedron protein, and the indirect method using 125I-labeled sheep antirabbit immunoglobulins could detect 0.05 microng of polyhedron protein.
  • (12) Morphologically, the virus is a rectilinear polyhedron 270 A in diameter, without a process.
  • (13) The biological function of zinc is governed by the composition of its tetrahedral coordination polyhedron in the metalloprotein, and each ligand group that coordinates to the metal ion does so with a well-defined stereochemical preference.
