Similarity of features between two species resulting from their having taken similar evolutionary paths following their initial divergence from a common ancestor
The doctrine that matter and mind do not causally interact but that physiological events in the brain or body nonetheless occur simultaneously with matching events in the mind
A dualistic theory which asserts that both mind and brain are real, but that neither interact with each other
A literary device, common in the psalms, of either repeating or imaging one line of poetry with another that uses different words but expresses the same thought
When there is parallelism between two things, there are similarities between them. The last thing we should do is make any parallelism between the murderers and their victims. the state of being parallel with something
An evolutionary event where two identical changes occur independently For instance when two homologous sequences possess an isoleucine at a particular position, and both isoleucines are substituted for leucines The ancestral state is the same in both instances and the new character state is the same The difference between this type of event and a convergence lies in the identity of the ancestral state
Parallelism is the extent to which two or more different substances produce parallel dilution (titration) curves in an immunoassay Parallelism measurements are used to detect matrix effects in different substance solutions Parallelism is also used to measure the crossreactivity of a binder to substances similar in structure to the ligand
The view that mental and physical phenomena occur in parallel but that these simultaneities never involve causal interactions See dualism, preestablished harmony, occasionalism <Discussion> <References> Chris Eliasmith
The juxtaposition of two or more identical or equivalent syntactic constructions, especially those expressing the same sentiment with slight modifications, introduced for rhetorical effect
Similarity of construction or meaning of clauses placed side by side, especially clauses expressing the same sentiment with slight modifications, as is common in Hebrew poetry; e
A means of improving performance, and potentially fault tolerance, by allowing multiple processing tasks to proceed simultaneously Threads and server pools are two mechanisms for achieving parallelism
