What's the difference between isotropic and uniform?

Isotropic


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the same properties in all directions; specifically, equally elastic in all directions.

Example Sentences:

Uniform


Definition:

  • (a.) Having always the same form, manner, or degree; not varying or variable; unchanging; consistent; equable; homogenous; as, the dress of the Asiatics has been uniform from early ages; the temperature is uniform; a stratum of uniform clay.
  • (a.) Of the same form with others; agreeing with each other; conforming to one rule or mode; consonant.
  • (a.) A dress of a particular style or fashion worn by persons in the same service or order by means of which they have a distinctive appearance; as, the uniform of the artillery, of the police, of the Freemasons, etc.
  • (v. t.) To clothe with a uniform; as, to uniform a company of soldiers.
  • (v. t.) To make conformable.

  • (4) Another, discussing public attitudes towards the police, said: "I've lost count of [the number of] people who said: 'It's only cos you've got a uniform … if you didn't have the uniform on, I'd come and fuck you and this, that and the other … I hope your wife dies of cancer and your kids die of cancer.'"
  • (5) The cells were taken from cultures in low-density balanced exponential growth, and the experiments were performed quickly so that the bacteria were in a uniform physiological state at the time of measurement.
