    The description of similarities and differences found between the two things is also called a comparison. Comparison can take many distinct forms, varying by field: To compare is to bring two or more things together (physically or in contemplation) and to examine them systematically, identifying similarities and differences among them.

  3. Grammatical number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_number

    A few languages have specific parts of speech that distinguish between two number categories: one or two, and more than two. The former category can be thought of as a single conflated singular-dual number. [257] For example, in the nouns of Kalaw Lagaw Ya: [258] [259] ùmay - "dog(s)" (one or two) ùmayl - "dogs" (plural, three or more)

  4. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Pulse width also constrains the range discrimination, that is the capacity of the radar to distinguish between two targets that are close together. At any range, with similar azimuth and elevation angles and as viewed by a radar with an unmodulated pulse, the range resolution is approximately equal in distance to half of the pulse duration ...

  5. Distinction (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_(philosophy)

    Actuality is a realization of the way a thing could be, while potency refers simply to the way a thing could be. There are two levels to each: matter itself can be anything, and becomes something actually by causes, making it something which then has the ability to be in a certain way, and that ability can then be realized. The matter of an ax ...

  6. Indistinguishable particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indistinguishable_particles

    There are two methods for distinguishing between particles. The first method relies on differences in the intrinsic physical properties of the particles, such as mass, electric charge, and spin. If differences exist, it is possible to distinguish between the particles by measuring the relevant properties.

  7. Computational indistinguishability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_in...

    One might conceive of a situation in which the algorithm trying to distinguish between two distributions, could access as many samples as it needed. Hence two ensembles that cannot be distinguished by polynomial-time algorithms looking at multiple samples are deemed indistinguishable by polynomial-time sampling.

  8. Juncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juncture

    Juncture, in linguistics, is the manner of moving (transition) between two successive syllables in speech. [1] An important type of juncture is the suprasegmental phonemic cue by means of which a listener can distinguish between two otherwise identical sequences of sounds that have different meanings. [1]
