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

When two notes are a certain distance apart and move the same interval at the same time in the same direction A parallel third, for instance, would be when two notes are a third apart (C and E, for example), and they move, say, a step upward Parallel thirds and sixths are supposed to sound good, while parallel fifths and octaves are supposed to sound bad
Elements of similar rhetorical importance in similar grammatical patterns (The use of equivalent grammatical forms or matching sentence structures to express equivalent ideas )
Belongs to the work of hermeneutics, which is the science of interpretation It is the relationship between two or more sentences or clauses that correspond in similarity There are essentially three types of Parallelism: 1 Synonymous, Antithetic, and Synthetic Synonymous Parallelism deals with pairs such as earth, dust; enemy, foe; Jacob, Israel; voice, speech; people, nations; and similar combinations See Psalm 2: 2-4
Parallelism means using the same grammatical structures for coordinated words, phrases, and clauses For example, the following sentence contains parallelism: Before the school year begins, I need to shop for new clothes, get a haircut, and buy school supplies
(n) An orientation control for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing Parallelism is a condition in which a surface or an axis is equidistant at all points from a datum plane or datum axis, respectively The distance between the feature and the datum is the tolerance value given in the control frame
When the writer establishes similar patterns of grammatical structure and length For instance, "King Alfred tried to make the law clear, precise, and equitable " The previous sentence has parallel structure in use of adjectives However, the following sentence does not use parallelism: "King Alfred tried to make clear laws that had precision and were equitable "
A Backup feature that enables the Backup server to back up save sets from several clients, or many save sets from one client, at the same time Parallelism is also available during recovers
Literary device in which grammatical or semantic elements repeat Parallelism is commonly classified as synonymous, antithetical, or synthetic, following the system of Robert Lowth in the 18th century These categories are not always adequate, but they do offer a starting point For example, Psalm 18: 8 is an example of synonymous parallelism: "Smoke went up from his nostrils / and devouring fire from his mouth / glowing coals flamed forth from him" (NRSV) Note that the repeated meanings are not identical, but rather seem to build on one another Some other types of parallelism include chiastic and staircase
