In particular, there sometimes is an apparent assumption that superficially similar studies, or those that claim to be dealing with the same set of constructs, can be easily combined to draw meaningful construct-level inferences.
As we start constructing gene networks for the development of morphological features (such as arthropod - or even other bilaterian - segments [ 5], bilaterian nervous systems [ 6] and now notochords [ 4]), the need and the ability to distinguish between homologous, convergent or superficially similar molecular networks are becoming more apparent and more feasible.
A novel direct 2D/3D histological method was applied to large, thick (300 μm) slices superficially silver-stained to separate ReTm (unstained) from apparent termini (planar artefacts, brown).
While superficially similar to those barriers defined for mosquitoes, a key apparent difference lies in the lack of salivary gland barriers of infection and release [ 10, 12, 14].
Superficially, Melancholia resembles Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life in its apparent engagement with big spiritual issues and matters eschatological, but it lacks Malick's emotional generosity.
Though these functions seemed superficially disparate based on Gene Ontology [12], the potential mechanism for their interaction became apparent when the loci involved were investigated.
His style is superficially like Edward Hopper's, but Hopper's paintings are filled with strong emotions, despite their apparent simplicity.
However, worse than this, it inflates the apparent benefit of optimization: counter-intuitively, the worse the optimization method, the better it will superficially appear (unless one asks about information content).
Superficially, this sounds promising.
