Unlike enamel, dentin continues to form throughout life and can be initiated in response to stimuli, such as tooth decay or attrition.

Unlike the Earth and the Moon, Io's main source of internal heat comes from tidal dissipation rather than radioactive isotope decay, the result of Io's orbital resonance with Europa and Ganymede.

Unlike other commonly used radiometric dating techniques such as rubidium-strontium or uranium-lead dating, the uranium-thorium technique does not measure accumulation of a stable end-member decay product.

Unlike other radiometric dating techniques, those using the uranium decay series ( except for those using the stable final isotopes < sup > 206 </ sup > Pb and < sup > 207 </ sup > Pb ) compare the ratios of two radioactive unstable isotopes.

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 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 other traditions, Anglicanism has never been governed by a magisterium nor by appeal to one founding theologian, nor by an extra-credal summary of doctrine ( such as the Westminster Confession of the Presbyterian Church ).

Unlike the University's other libraries, the Law Library is governed directly by the school of law, rather than by the University of the Witwatersrand Library.

Unlike Narnia, Archenland is inhabited by humans and is governed by Men.

Unlike most provinces in the Abbasid Caliphate, which were closely governed by Baghdad and Samarra, the provinces under the control of the Tahirids were exempted from many tributes and oversight functions.

Unlike many Croatian political figures of Sanader's generation, he was not actively involved in politics in his younger years – neither as a member of the League of Communists of Croatia ( Croatia's party which formed the single bloc which governed Yugoslavia ), nor as a dissident in exile.

On the other hand, NASDAQ Dubai is governed to international standards by an independent regulator called the Dubai Financial Services Authority ( DFSA ), which is equivalent to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the U. S. Unlike DFM and ADX, NASDAQ Dubai, located in Dubai International Financial Centre ( DIFC ), is an electronic exchange with no trading floor.
