asymmetries, plural;
  1. Lack of equality or equivalence between parts or aspects of something; lack of symmetry

  1. (mathematics) a lack of symmetry
  2. (asymmetrical) characterized by asymmetry in the spatial arrangement or placement of parts or components
  3. (asymmetrical) irregular in shape or outline; "asymmetrical features"; "a dress with a crooked hemline"
  4. Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, a symmetry.
  5. Want of symmetry, or proportion between the parts of a thing, especially want of bilateral symmetry; Lacking a common measure between two objects or quantities; Incommensurability; That which causes something to not be symmetrical
  6. (Asymmetric) tires that have differing tread patterns on each half of the tire.
  7. (Asymmetric) (also see Profile)When the tyre tread pattern varies from one side of the tread to the other. These must be fitted with the outside sidewall on the outer face of the wheel. Directional versions will also be specific to the left and right sides of the vehicle. ...
  8. (Asymmetric) When opposite sides of a tire's tread pattern are not identical.
  9. (asymmetric) not divisible into similar halves in any plane.
  10. (Asymmetric) a garment that has an uneven/ one-sided top or hem. For example, a one-shouldered top or dress is asymmetric and a coat with an uneven hem is also asymmetric.
  11. (ASYMMETRIC) This is a type of paddle on which the top side of the blade is longer than the bottom side.
  12. (Asymmetric) A pair of keys, where each key "undoes" the other key. Together these keys are referred to as a pair; one is known as the private key, the other as the public. The private key must be kept private and well secured. ...
  13. (Asymmetric) A term used to explain the offset current waveform that can occur when a fault is initiated; the composite quantity of the transient current (dc component) and the steady state current (ac component); usually considered to be 1. ...
  14. (Asymmetric) Irregular, uneven; without symmetry; having no center or axis where something can be divided evenly.
  15. (Asymmetric) Not similar in size, shape, form or arrangement of parts on opposite sides of a line, point or plane.
  16. (Asymmetric) This relates to the distribution of light from a luminaire. The distribution is biased to one direction. In relation to floodlights, they can be kept at a low til angle and still throw light to where it is required, this helps reduce sky glow.
  17. (Asymmetric) This type affects around 35% of patients and is generally mild. This type does not occur in the same joints on both sides of the body and usually only involves less than 3 joints.
  18. (Asymmetric) Unequal distribution about one or more axes.
  19. (Asymmetric) Unequal. Refers to the time spent encoding vs. decoding. Encoding can take much longer than decoding.
  20. (Asymmetric) a branching pattern or shape that lacks a line of symmetry on either side of a median plane
  21. (asymmetric (ah-sim-ET-ric)) when there is a difference in size, shape or appearance of corresponding parts or organs, which are normally alike.
  22. (asymmetric (oblique)) of a leaf, leaf base or other organ, having the sides unequal. Fig.7 E.
  23. (asymmetric) All sites on RNA and probably most if not all sites on DNA bound by a single polypeptide will be asymmetric. Example: RNA: splice sites; DNA: T7 RNA polymerase binding sites.
  24. (asymmetric) for all x and y in X it holds that if xRy then not yRx. "Greater than" is an asymmetric relation, because if x>y then not y>x.
  25. (asymmetrical) Providing differing bandwidth in different directions. 56 K modems are asymmetrical: they offer a maximum speed of 56K for downloading, but only 28.8K or 33.6K for uploading.
