That sends brave men and women to foreign lands to fight their capitalist wars, that intimidates and unsettles people whose faith and culture superficially distinguishes them, that tells the comfortable "hush now" you have your trinkets.
It would permit these species to be classified in a highly reproducible and cost effective manner because DNA-based methods are independent of morphology, integrity, and developmental stage of the organism and can distinguish among species that superficially look alike [ 30].
The spore sac contains the gleba, which is composed of a pseudocolumella, unbranched threads (the capillitium), the spore-bearing cells (basidia) and the spores themselves; all of these microscopic elements have certain characteristic features that help distinguish G. triplex from other superficially similar earthstars.
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.
Young children, Professor Chomsky found, could distinguish no difference in meaning between superficially similar sentences like "John promised Bill to shovel the driveway" and "John told Bill to shovel the driveway" — they could not discern who did the shoveling in each case.
Correlation analysis of metabolic profiles has been used effectively to distinguish silent phenotypes or genetic alterations that are not noticeable superficially [ 2- 4].
Directed by Maria Aitken on a glossy set by Derek McLane that's as superficially appealing as the writing, "The Gift" tries, in its contrived, meretricious way, to distinguish what separates artists from regular folk.
So maybe Conway's seeming inability to distinguish fact from fiction correlated to his uncanny ability to see mathematics differently, to pursue pure curiosity-driven research no matter how superficially trivial, and to achieve his idiosyncratically original results.
This helps to distinguish games that are competitive throughout from those in which the trailing team scores a meaningless touchdown or two late in the game to bring the margin superficially closer.
There are several species of coral fungi that are superficially similar in appearance to R. botrytis, and although comparison of habitat or characteristics like color or branching morphology is often sufficient for identification, sometimes microscopy is required to definitively distinguish between them.
