Parabole


Definition:

  • (n.) Similitude; comparison.

Example Sentences:

  • (17) The inhibitory activity is strongly dependent on the alkyl chain length of the alkoxy-substituent showing a typical quasi-parabolic dependence with maximum effect at 6-8 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain.
  • (18) To facilitate description of central field defects, enlargement of the central visual field by a parabolic, non-linear projection has been proposed.
  • (19) A highly significant reversed parabolic relationship was shown between the Rm values and the biliary excretion of the test compounds.
  • (20) Sections cut normal to the plane of the laminae do not show parabolic patterning.

Similitude


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or state of being similar or like; resemblance; likeness; similarity; as, similitude of substance.
  • (n.) The act of likening, or that which likens, one thing to another; fanciful or imaginative comparison; a simile.
