Differentiation :: Differentiation (n.) The act of distinguishing or describing a thing, by giving its different, or specific difference; exact definition or determination..

Derivation :: Derivation (n.) The operation of deducing one function from another according to some fixed law, called the law of derivation, as the of differentiation or of integration..

Differentia :: Differentia (n.) The formal or distinguishing part of the essence of a species; the characteristic attribute of a species; specific difference.

Undifferentiated :: Undifferentiated (a.) Not differentiated; specifically (Biol.), homogenous, or nearly so; -- said especially of young or embryonic tissues which have not yet undergone differentiation (see Differentiation, 3), that is, which show no visible separation into their different structural parts..

Differential :: Differential (n.) One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other..

Protyle :: Protyle (n.) The hypothetical homogeneous cosmic material of the original universe, supposed to have been differentiated into what are recognized as distinct chemical elements..

Homosystemic :: Homosystemic (a.) Developing, in the case of multicellular organisms, from the same embryonic systems into which the secondary unit (gastrula or plant enbryo) differentiates..

Structureless :: Structured (a.) Having a definite organic structure; showing differentiation of parts.

Osculatrix :: Osculatrix (n.) A curve whose contact with a given curve, at a given point, is of a higher order (or involves the equality of a greater number of successive differential coefficients of the ordinates of the curves taken at that point) than that of any other curve of the same kind..

Differentiate :: Differentiate (v. i.) To acquire a distinct and separate character.

Heterodont :: Heterodont (a.) Having the teeth differentiated into incisors, canines, and molars, as in man; -- opposed to homodont..

Potential :: Potential (n.) In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; -- also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the cente

Deme :: Deme (n.) An undifferentiated aggregate of cells or plastids.

Invagination :: Invagination (n.) One of the methods by which the various germinal layers of the ovum are differentiated.

Differentiate :: Differentiate (v. t.) To express the specific difference of; to describe the properties of (a thing) whereby it is differenced from another of the same class; to discriminate.

Gonochorism :: Gonochorism (n.) In ontogony, differentiation of male and female individuals from embryos having the same rudimentary sexual organs..

Integration :: Integration (n.) The operation of finding the primitive function which has a given function for its differential coefficient. See Integral.

Determination :: Determination (n.) The addition of a differentia to a concept or notion, thus limiting its extent; -- the opposite of generalization..

Differential :: Differential (n.) A form of conductor used for dividing and distributing the current to a series of electric lamps so as to maintain equal action in all.

Thermoscope :: Thermoscope (n.) An instrument for indicating changes of temperature without indicating the degree of heat by which it is affected; especially, an instrument contrived by Count Rumford which, as modified by Professor Leslie, was afterward called the differential thermometer..
