Unlike the commoner status of a British peer's wife and descendants ( yet typical of the nobility of every continental European country ), the legitimate children and male-line descendants of any French nobleman ( whether titled or not, whether possessing a French peerage or not ) were also legally noble ad infinitum.

Unlike traditional ad hoc macro languages of the time, such as those found in assemblers, TRAC is well planned, consistent, and in many senses complete.

Unlike characters for unofficial varieties of Chinese ( e. g., written Cantonese ) or other now-defunct ad hoc characters ( e. g., those by the Empress Wu ), the names for the elements are official, consistent, and taught ( with Mandarin pronunciation ) to every Chinese and Taiwanese student who has attended public schools ( usually by the first year of middle school ).

Unlike an ordinary executor or administrator, someone with a grant ad colligenda cannot make any distribution of the estate's assets.

Unlike previous federal excise taxes, this tax is collected directly from the consumer by the seller and based on the sale price rather than a quantity.

Unlike bony fish, there is no direct control of the pigment cells by the nervous system, and this results in the colour change taking place more slowly than happens in fish.

Unlike ethanol, methanol is extremely toxic: As little as 10 ml can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve and 30 ml ( one fluid ounce ) is potentially fatal.

Unlike conventional auctions, bids are non-refundable ; if one player bids 65 for psyche and another wins with a bid of 66, then the character with 66 is " superior " to the character with 65 even though there is only one bid difference.

Unlike pure metals, most alloys do not have a single melting point, but a melting range in which the material is a mixture of solid and liquid phases.

Unlike beta decay, alpha decay is governed by the interplay between the nuclear force and the electromagnetic force.

Unlike gingerbread (), which is sweetened with honey, Printen are sweetened with sugar.

Unlike the other Ainu clans currently living in Russia, there is considerable doubt whether the Nakamura clan of Kamchatka should be identified as Northern Kurils Ainu, Southern Kurils Ainu or as Kamchatka Ainu.

Unlike his translation of the Pastoral Care, Alfred here deals very freely with his original and though the late Dr. G. Schepss showed that many of the additions to the text are to be traced not to Alfred himself, but to the glosses and commentaries which he used, still there is much in the work which is solely Alfred's and highly characteristic of his style.

Unlike mainstream medicine, CAM often lacks or has only limited experimental and clinical study ; however, scientific investigation of CAM is beginning to address this knowledge gap.

Unlike individual groups, the GSO is not self-supporting and maintains a small salaried staff.

Unlike the typical hijackings of land vehicles or ships, skyjacking is not usually committed for robbery or theft.

Unlike McCaffrey's black crystal transceivers, Le Guin's ansibles are not mated pairs: it is possible for an ansible's coordinates to be set to any known location of a receiving ansible.

Unlike Pentecostals, Evangelicals and Fundamentalists generally do not believe that physical healing is within the anointing.

Unlike that, the speed of light is constant and only its direction changes.

Unlike in Hindu and Jain sources, in ancient Buddhist texts ahimsa ( or its Pāli cognate ) is not used as a technical term.

Unlike the IEEE, however, the ACM is solely dedicated to computing.

Unlike a conventional tank water heater, the tank is filled only when there is sunlight.

Unlike the police and security forces, the Army and the People's Militia is organized along Soviet / Chinese models and precepts.

Unlike a sacrifice bunt, which may be scored if a runner advances from any base to any base, a sacrifice fly is only credited if a runner scores on the play.

Unlike in soccer, the convention in rugby is for the home side to accommodate its guests when there is a clash of kit.

Unlike in Unix shells, Perl and Perl-influenced languages, single quotation marks and double quotation marks function similarly.

Unlike most well-known complexity classes, it is not a class of decision problems but a class of function problems.

Unlike optical and transmission electron microscopes, image magnification in the SEM is not a function of the power of the objective lens.

Unlike function generators, which are limited to a simple set of waveforms ; an AWG allows the user to specify a source waveform in a variety of different ways.

A window that cannot be opened, whose function is limited to allowing light to enter ( Unlike an unfixed window, which can open and close ).

Unlike the universal wave function, the conditional wave function of a subsystem does not always evolve by the Schrödinger equation, but in many situations it does.

Unlike neuromotor prostheses, neurocognitive prostheses would sense or modulate neural function in order to physically reconstitute or augment cognitive processes such as executive function, attention, language, and memory.

Unlike a logic gate, which has a fixed function, a PLD has an undefined function at the time of manufacture.

Unlike fibrous proteins which only play a structural function, globular proteins can act as:

Unlike rigid skeletons which cannot exhibit both geometric and stress similarity, the hydrostatic skeleton can maintain both forms which may be due to decoupling of weight and skeletal function.

Unlike previous multi-CPU Opteron sockets, Socket G34 CPUs will function with unbuffered ECC or non-ECC RAM in addition to the traditional registered ECC RAM.

Unlike gram-negative bacteria, the gram-positive Corynebacterium lack lipopolysaccharides that function as antigenic endotoxins in humans.

Unlike other functions, the factorial function is denoted with the exclamation mark ( serving as the symbol of the function ) after the variable ( postfix notation ).

Unlike linear regression with normally distributed residuals, it is not possible to find a closed-form expression for the coefficient values that maximize the likelihood function, so an iterative process must be used instead, for example Newton's method.

Unlike voicemail, which can be a centralized or networked system that performs a similar function, an answering machine must be installed in the customer's premises alongside — or incorporated within — the customer's telephone.

Unlike the speculative proposal of ultraviolet fixed points, fixed points in the infrared are known to exist in asymptotically free theories, arising at two loops in the beta function providing that the fermion count N < sub > f </ sub > is large enough.

Unlike the partition function in statistical mechanics, that in quantum field theory contains an extra factor of i in front of the action, making the integrand complex, not real.

Unlike other atlases from the Allen Institute, this atlas focuses on the identification of neural circuitry that govern behavior and brain function.

Unlike in the previous examples, the shape parameter does not affect the support ; the fact that allowing it to vary makes the Weibull non-exponential is due rather to the particular form of the Weibull's probability density function ( k appears in the exponent of an exponent ).

Unlike personality, attitudes are expected to change as a function of experience.
