Resemblance


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or state of resembling; likeness; similitude; similarity.
  • (n.) That which resembles, or is similar; a representation; a likeness.
  • (n.) A comparison; a simile.
  • (n.) Probability; verisimilitude.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The authors have presented in two previous articles the graphic solutions resembling Tscherning ellipses, for spherical as well as for aspherical ophthalmic lenses free of astigmatism or power error.
  • (2) As a group, the three mammalian proteins resemble bovine serum conglutinin and behave as lectins with rather broad sugar specificities directed at certain non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose and fucose residues, but with subtle differences in fine specificities.
  • (3) The above results indicate that the psychopharmacological profile of SAM resembles that of antidepressants in only some tests.
  • (4) The blastocyst antiluteolytic protein therefore closely resembles the interferon-alpha family of antiviral proteins.
  • (5) The younger patients more often experienced an acute arthritis with sacroiliitis resembling a reactive disease.
  • (6) Because the mitogenic action of IL 2 resembles that of some growth factors, the possible role of phosphatidylinositol breakdown in the activation of T cells by IL 2 was examined.
  • (7) The absolute level of ventilatory capacity resembles that of Nepalese children and differs from that of some other groups.
  • (8) Initiation of the alternative pathway by the cryptococcal capsule is characterized by a lag in C3 accumulation and the appearance of a limited number of focal initiation sites which resemble those observed when the alternative pathway is activated by zymosan and nonencapsulated cryptococci.
  • (9) It was recently demonstrated that MRL-lpr lymphoid cells transferred into lethally irradiated MRL- +mice unexpectedly failed to induce the early onset of lupus syndrome and massive lymphadenopathy of the donor, instead they caused a severe wasting syndrome resembling graft-vs-host (GvH) disease.
  • (10) The new trabecular bone closely resembled that typically seen at electrically active implants.
  • (11) A nonspecific reaction of the marrow against extramedullary lymphogranulomatosis closely resembling to the so-called tumor myeopathy has to be distinguished from the localized marrow changes due to the tumor itself.
  • (12) The effect upon ethanol responding was found not to resemble a pattern of extinction, but rather was best described as a general overall reduction in responding.
  • (13) The clinical and roentgenographic features of xanthogranulomatosis bear a close resemblance to those seen in two fibrosclerosing syndromes: sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy and retroperitoneal fibrosis.
  • (14) Based on similarities in elution time, the metabolites of [35S]PTU in urine closely resembled those in bile of rats.
  • (15) The observed staining indicated that the epithelium of the external auditory meatus has a pattern of keratin expression typical of epidermis in general and the epithelium of the middle ear resembles simple columnar epithelia.
  • (16) The structure of L-carnitine resembles the chemical structure of other substances that have been described as being able to protect living cells against osmotic stress.
  • (17) The antimicrobial activity of mederrhodin A resembled that of medermycin.
  • (18) A temperature-sensitive mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was identified which at the restrictive temperature of 37 degrees C is unable to secrete a number of cell wall-associated proteins and thus resembles previously reported sec mutants.
  • (19) The dose response initially resembled that described by Scholer (1959) in which one million spores killed the majority of mice.
  • (20) Electron microscopy revealed a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, an enlarged Golgi apparatus and many highly electron-dense secretory granules resembling those of Clara cells.
