What's the difference between gerbe and grebe?

Gerbe


Definition:

  • (n.) A kind of ornamental firework.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) One GerB mutant mapped on the origin-proximal side of hisA; it was normal in germination in alanine, but deficient in termination in a mixture of asparagine, glucose, fructose and KCl.
  • (2) The two GerF mutants were defective in germination in all three germinants and mapped on the origin proximal-side of hisA, but much closer to his than did the GerB mutant.
  • (3) Coronary endothelial cells were isolated from adult guinea-pig hearts (Nees, Gerbes & Gerlach, 1981) and the electrical properties of primary cultures were studied using the tight-seal whole-cell recording mode of the patch clamp technique.

Grebe


Definition:

  • (n.) One of several swimming birds or divers, of the genus Colymbus (formerly Podiceps), and allied genera, found in the northern parts of America, Europe, and Asia. They have strong, sharp bills, and lobate toes.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Growth rate coefficients for dark- and light-phase western grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis) are compared with the Richards' growth model.
  • (2) Unlike the patients with Grebe disease, the latter two patients had involvement of the spine and particularly short humeri.
  • (3) The nesting flamingos and moulting grebes from the same water body were also infected to a great extent with these cestodes.
  • (4) those feeding on other birds (sparrow-hawk 33.00 mg.kg-1 in the dry matter of eggs, hawk 239.98 mg.kg-1 in fat) or those associated with water (great crested grebe 11.97 mg.kg-1, sea-gull 11.24 mg.kg-1 in the dry matter of eggs).
  • (5) The method is applied to samples of surface water, fat of a grebe and human adipose tissue for halogenated compounds.
  • (6) Adult cestodes were found in the red-necked grebe (Podiceps griseigena).
  • (7) And the Olympic torch completed its remarkable journey, the penultimate stage undertaken from Hampton Court to Tower Bridge on the prow of the gilded Gloriana, at the head of a flotilla of rowboats that drew curious glances from the cormorants, herons and great crested grebes in their haunts by Richmond Bridge.
  • (8) We have studied three patients with severe short-limbed dwarfism, only one of whom had the typical features of Grebe disease, whereas the other two had clearly distinct previously unreported skeletal dysplasias.
  • (9) It’s not a desert, though: on a walk you might spot cormorants or great crested grebes.
  • (10) Our search to find a convenient animal tissue to study alkane biosynthesis resulted in the finding that the uropygial gland (a modified sebaceous gland) of the eared grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) produces large amounts of alkanes.
  • (11) The significance of interspecific interactions as a structuring force in the enteric helminth communities of 4 species of grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis, Podiceps grisegena, P. nigricollis, and P. auritus) was evaluated.
  • (12) Quantitative immunological comparisons of three avian proteins, transferrin, ovalbumin, and penalbumin, indicate that penguins are phylogenetically most closely related to loons, albatrosses, herons, and grebes.
  • (13) On re-evaluation of their clinical and radiographic features, only one of them had the typical features of the Grebe chondrodysplasia, whereas the other two appear to have clearly distinct, previously unreported skeletal dysplasias.
  • (14) Grebe chondrodysplasia has been established as an autosomal recessive trait.
  • (15) The tarn also provides food for diving birds such as great crested grebes.
  • (16) One of the siblings who did not have hip and knee dislocations clinically resembled Grebe chondrodysplasia, another severe acromesomelic dwarfing condition.
  • (17) Open daily 9am-midnight Directions: M4 tram to Buschallee Haubentaucher The next day is overcast – perfect conditions to visit Friedrichshain’s Haubentaucher (the German word for great crested grebe).
  • (18) The uropygial gland secretion of some grebes (Podicipediformes) had been shown to contain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and monoester waxes.
  • (19) However, radiological analysis suggests that while acromesomelic dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson type and Grebe chondrodysplasia are related, they are not identical.
  • (20) The condition is differentiated from other bone dysplasias with extreme limb shortness, in particular Grebe chondrodysplasia.
