* Minimax: Choose the decision rule with the lowest worst loss — that is, minimize the worst-case ( maximum possible ) loss:

In voting systems, the Minimax method is one of several Condorcet methods used for tabulating votes and determining a winner when using ranked voting in a single-winner election.

Minimax selects the candidate for whom the greatest pairwise score for another candidate against him is the least such score among all candidates.

When winning votes is used, Minimax also satisfies the Plurality criterion.

When the pairwise opposition variant is used, Minimax also does not satisfy the Condorcet criterion.

When winning votes is used as the measure of defeat strength in methods such as the Schulze method, Ranked Pairs, or Minimax, Plurality is satisfied.

* When the Hungarian version was rebroadcast on television in 2005, Minimax used the original dub from the archives of Magyar Televízió.

This text from Dr. Huxley is sometimes used by enthusiasts to indicate that they have the permission of the scientists to press the case for a wonderful unfoldment of psychic powers in human beings.

The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

It is true that this distinction between style and idea often approaches the arbitrary since in the end we must admit that style and content frequently influence or interpenetrate one another and sometimes appear as expressions of the same insight.

On the other hand, the bright vision of the future has been directly stated in science fiction concerned with projecting ideal societies -- science fiction, of course, is related, if sometimes distantly, to that utopian literature optimistic about science, literature whose period of greatest vigor in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries produced Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward and H. G. Wells's A Modern Utopia.

He could no longer build anything, whether a private residence in his Pennsylvania county or a church in Brazil, without it being obvious that he had done it, and while here and there he was taken to task for again developing the same airy technique, they were such fanciful and sometimes even playful buildings that the public felt assured by its sense of recognition after a time, a quality of authentic uniqueness about them, which, once established by an artist as his private vision, is no longer disputable as to its other values.

For he knows that the first and sometimes most difficult job is to know what the question is -- that when it is accurately identified it sometimes answers itself, and that the way in which it is posed frequently shapes the answer.

Displacement is sometimes referred to as `` swept volume ''.

They did not dawdle at the hour of decision but attacked quickly, using a massive series of short, rapid, vicious charges against the length of the whole Roman line, with charging units sometimes withdrawing to the forest to regroup while others took their place.

Particularly in hardware design and verification applications, satisfiability and other logical properties of a given propositional formula are sometimes decided based on a representation of the formula as a binary decision diagram ( BDD ).

Usually this takes the form of a public process, where interested parties can express their concerns and sometimes including a public hearing, followed by a commission decision.

To elect means " to choose or make a decision " and so sometimes other forms of ballot such as referendums are referred to as elections, especially in the United States.

In that case, the decision of the court may be ultra vires, and may sometimes be characterized as judicial activism.
