Likewise, one might ask whether animal species are characterized (necessarily) by superficially available qualities, for example, whether a tiger is, by definition, a large carnivorous quadrupedal feline, tawny yellow in colour with blackish transverse stripes and a white belly (Kripke 1980, 119 121).
They are typically characterized by a superficially lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults.
Even for widely used models, only a handful of superficially characterized cell lines exist.
Several administrators were insightful regarding the shift in mindset needed to achieve STEM integration, believing that it is important, for example, for teachers to understand technology use in the context of the engineering design process rather than more superficially characterizing technology incorporation as any type of student computer use.
Two populations of nociceptors that terminate within superficial dorsal horn have been characterized and consist of an IB4-positive non-peptidergic group that projects to the inner layer of lamina II and a CGRP-positive peptidergic group that projects more superficially to lamina I and the outer layer of lamina II (Hunt and Mantyh 2001; Snider and McMahon 1998).
The plants are characterized by inconspicuous flowers that are borne in small but often showy clusters, resembling superficially those of a sunflower.
The damage initiation of thin hard coatings deposited on smooth surfaces is mainly induced by fatigue mechanisms and characterized by the removal of film segments in the contact area between the ball indenter and the specimen in highly superficially loaded contact regions during the impact test.
The timar, traditionally described as a fief, only superficially resembled European feudalism; it was part of a centralized system and did not involve the mutual rights and obligations that characterized feudalism in the West.
In addition, disease was characterized by unusual, single or multiple, white, opaque scleral nodules, often with hyperemia or local edema, and in some cases with opacification (changes in the normally transparent characteristics of the cornea or superficially on scleral tissue) extending to the limbus, or angular corneal opacities and anterior uveitis with granulomas in the anterior chamber.
Robert Shelton describes the song's central character, Mr Jones, as "one of Dylan's greatest archetypes", characterizing him as "a Philistine ... superficially educated and well bred but not very smart about the things that count".
