The name choice for element 97 followed the previous tradition of the Californian group to draw an analogy between the newly discovered actinide and the lanthanide element positioned above it in the periodic table.

The point of the egg analogy is simply to stress that the earth is completely enclosed by heaven, rather than merely covered from above as the Kai Tian describes.

In most real-world applications such as the one above, the naïve inductive analogy is flawed because each building permit will not be evaluated the same way ( for example, the more religious structures in a community, the less likely a permit will be granted for another ).

As noted above, the analogy used above describes curvature of a two dimensional space caused by gravity in general relativity in a three dimensional superspace in which the third dimension corresponds to the effect of gravity.

There is a particularly important implication of the more precise mathematical description that differs from the analogy based heuristic description of de Sitter space and anti de Sitter space above.

The term film grammar is best understood as a creative metaphor, since the elements of film grammar described above do not stand in any strict relation of analogy to the components of grammar as understood by philology or modern linguistics.

By analogy, overburden is also used to describe the soil and other material that lies above a specific geologic feature, such as a buried astrobleme.

' It was especially in which his ideas put subject to the position of a transcending truth above positivism that garnered attention ; by way that all senses about the world only take the form of ideas within one's mind in any real sense ; to Gentile even the analogy between the function & location of the physical brain with the functions of the physical body were a consistent creation of the mind ( and not brain ; which was a creation of the mind and not the other way around ).

An argument from analogy is weakened if it is inadequate in any of the above respects.

In the above analogy regarding choosing a contractor, maximum likelihood would be analogous to gathering data on the final cost of broadly comparable jobs performed by each contractor over the past year, and selecting the contractor with the lowest average cost for those comparable jobs.

By analogy with secular princes, in the broad sense of the ruler of any principality regardless of the style, it made perfect sense in a feudal class society to regard the highest members of the clergy, mainly prelates, as a privileged class (' estate ') similar to the nobility, ranking just below or even above it in the social order ; often high clerical ranks, such as bishops, were given high protocolary precedence amongst the nobility, and seats in the highest assemblies, including courts of justice and legislatures, such as Lord Bishops in the English ( later British ) House of Lords and Prince primates in the Kingdom of Hungary.

These peculiar numbers had received the name on account of their analogy to the construction of man, who was held to be nature's most perfect creation, and above all on account of their own peculiar regularity.

Regardless, by analogy with more conventionally ergative languages, the-up ,-k ,-it endings described above are often called ergative suffixes which are taken to be indicative of the ergative case, while the-mik ,-rnik ,-nik endings ( see Non-specific verbs-Objects ) are called accusative.

An analogy that can be used to understand the advantages of an asymmetric system is to imagine two people, Alice and Bob, who are sending a secret message through the public mail.

In the earlier postal analogy, Alice would have to have a way to make sure that the lock on the returned packet really belongs to Bob before she removes her lock and sends the packet back.

As an analogy, consider that Alice has a letter which should be signed by an authority ( say Bob ), but Alice does not want to reveal the content of the letter to Bob.

An example of an " Alice and Bob " analogy used in cryptography.

A more accurate analogy might be that of a large and often oddly shaped " atmosphere " ( the electron ), distributed around a relatively tiny planet ( the atomic nucleus ).

Kaisertum might literally be translated as " emperordom " ( on analogy with " kingdom ") or " emperor-ship "; the term denotes specifically " the territory ruled by an emperor ", and is thus somewhat more general than Reich, which in 1804 carried connotations of universal rule.

An analogy might be made to the issue of legal opinions from courts in common-law systems.

George Gabriel Stokes became a champion of the entrainment interpretation, developing a model in which the aether might be ( by analogy with pine pitch ) rigid at very high frequencies and fluid at lower speeds.

In the vacuum cleaner analogy, one might have a vacuum cleaner definition with its ports, but now this definition would also include a full description of the machine's internal components and how they connect ( motors, switches, etc.

Members of the British Association for the Advancement of Science had been complaining about the lack of a good term at recent meetings, Whewell reported in his review ; alluding to himself, he noted that " some ingenious gentleman proposed that, by analogy with artist, they might form word scientist, and added that there could be no scruple in making free with this term since we already have such words as economist, and atheist — but this was not generally palatable ".

Through analogy and through the belief that one can control or aid the powers of nature by the practice of magic, particularly sympathetic magic, sexuality might characterize part of the cult of the Baʿals and ʿAshtarts.

the matrices satisfy various polynomials such as their minimal polynomials, which form a proper ideal ( because they are not all zero, in which case the result is trivial ); one might call this the characteristic ideal, by analogy with the characteristic polynomial.

( An analogy might be a piece of rubber, which thins in the middle when stretched.

By analogy with protoscience, it might be considered a form of protoengineering.

: ZEEK: The Hasidim / Misnagdim analogy is a fascinating one, though I can see how some folks in the Havurah movement might have bones to pick there.

Even a tachyon would not move along the path that one might naively expect from a " rubber sheet " analogy: in particular, if the dimple is drawn pointing upward rather than downward, the tachyon's path still curves toward the central mass, not away.

An analogy for the relationship between the two might be defined as follows: Where willpower is the muscle, self-discipline is the structured thought that controls that muscle.

Detractors of this argument might point out that the same thing could be said about any concept-object relation, and that the brain-computer analogy can be a perfectly useful model if there is a strong isomorphism between the two.

Continuing this analogy, the island might have more than one physical bridge to the mainland, but the set of bridges still represents only one logical path.

( In other writings, local flow variables are considered ; these might be considered as classical by analogy with the time-invariant long-term time-averages of flows produced by endlessly repeated cyclic processes ; examples with flows are in the thermoelectric phenomena known as the Seebeck and the Peltier effects, considered by Kelvin in the nineteenth century and by Onsager in the twentieth.

Kaisertum might literally be translated as " emperordom " on analogy with " kingdom " or " emperor-ship "; the term denotes specifically " the territory ruled by an emperor ".

To summarize, an analogy might be useful: a Very Little Language is like a knife, which can be used in thousands of different ways, from cutting food to cutting down trees.

A similar analogy could be made about moral sense, which might give us a clear idea of what " rightness " is, but perhaps doesn't grant us direct knowledge of normative ethics.

It is not clear how this version of applying the analogy might be used to the check the rates of discrete events.

The law retained the important legal principle of analogy, according to which acts not specifically defined might be considered crimes.

In an analogy to Meridian ( geography ), in which meridians are lines of longitude, the North pole might correspond to the fovea, Greenwich would correspond to a retinal location about 39 degrees to the left of the fovea ( because the retinal image is inverted, this corresponds to a location in the visual field to the observer's right ), and the South pole would correspond to the centre of the pupil.
