In keeping with the analogy, they even used the term " Emperor " in reference to the shogun / regent, e. g. in the case of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who missionaries called " Emperor Taicosama " ( from Taiko and the honorific sama ).

The term first past the post ( abbreviated FPTP or FPP ) was coined as an analogy to horse racing, where the winner of the race is the first to pass a particular point ( the " post ") on the track ( in this case a plurality of votes ), after which all other runners automatically and completely lose ( that is, the payoff is " winner-takes-all ").

They proposed – among others – that in a fully competitive economic environment ( as they thought was the case of ecosystems ) the most potent individuals would thrive and in turn society would prosper ( in analogy to the observed biodiversity and abundance of life on earth ).

In this case, the analogy applies both to the form of the words and to their meaning: in each pair, the first word means " one of X ", while the second " two or more of X ", and the difference is always the plural form-s affixed to the second word, signaling the key distinction between singular and plural entities.

Some places may allow a hand such as 10-9-8-7-A to play as a straight ( by analogy to a wheel ) in the 32-card game, the A playing low and skipping over the removed ranks ( although this is not the case in Manila ).

Mr. Pitt's case in ' 84 is the nearest analogy ; but then the people only confirmed the Sovereign's choice ; here every Conservative candidate professed himself in plain words to be Sir Robert Peel's man, and on that ground was elected.

In keeping with the analogy, they even used the term " emperor " in reference to the shogun / regent, e. g. in the case of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, whom missionaries called " Emperor Taicosama " ( from Taiko and the honorific sama )

The argument from analogy has faced scrutiny from the likes of Norman Malcolm who have issues with the ' one case ' nature of the argument.

These differences could mean that the bacterial and archaella could be a classic case of biological analogy, or convergent evolution, rather than homology.

But in an ergative – absolutive language like Dyirbal, " I " in the transitive I hug him would take the ergative case, but the " I " in I was hugged would take the absolutive, and so by analogy the antipassive construction more closely resembles * was hugged me.

According to the Gemara, they demonstrated their wisdom by raising their case in a timely fashion, just as Moses was expounding the law of levirate marriage, or yibbum, and they argued for their inheritance by analogy to that law.

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.

A mechanical analogy in the K = 1 case with magnetic field energy ( 1 / 2 ) Li < sup > 2 </ sup > is a body with mass M, velocity u and kinetic energy ( 1 / 2 ) Mu < sup > 2 </ sup >.

To see this consider the case of a supersingular elliptic curve over a finite field of characteristic p. The endomorphism ring of this is an order in a quaternion algebra over the rationals, and should act on the first cohomology group, which should be a 2 dimensional vector space over the coefficient field by analogy with the case of a complex elliptic curve.

He proved that, in analogy with the spherical case, every building of affine type and rank at least four arises from a group.

The analogy with the Riemann surface case was already pointed out by Richard Dedekind and Heinrich M. Weber in the nineteenth century.

By analogy with the case when the θ < sub > U </ sub > came from coordinate systems, condition 3 means that φ < sub > U </ sub > is related to φ < sub > V </ sub > by h.

Beyond this point the analogy breaks down ; in the case of elevators the potential energy is gravitational but with the quantum number it is electromagnetic.

The term trigonometric polynomial for the real-valued case can be seen as using the analogy: the functions sin ( nx ) and cos ( nx ) are similar to the monomial basis for polynomials.

It can be seen as an analogy to creating a concept car to test new technology for future products, but in this case the work is directly used for the next product generation.

The term " corner case " comes about by physical analogy with " edge case ".

The " dead " parts are the tools, materials and equipment worked with, which are the results of past labour ( this analogy becomes dubious e. g. in the case of agriculture and biotechnologies ).

The spin of the electron and proton can be in either direction-in the classical analogy they are rotating clockwise or anticlockwise around a given axis.

A bucket and a stopwatch is an analogy for the operation of a positive displacement meter

Figure 1: The leaky bucket analogy

The Leaky Bucket Algorithm is based on an analogy of a bucket ( figure 1 ) that has a hole in the bottom through which any water it contains will leak away at a constant rate, until or unless it is empty.

In one version of applying the analogy, the analogue of the bucket is a counter or variable, separate from the flow of traffic or scheduling of events.

In this they state “ In the leaky bucket analogy, the cells do not actually flow through the bucket ; only the check for conforming admission does ”.

The token bucket algorithm is based on an analogy of a fixed capacity bucket into which tokens, normally representing a unit of bytes or a single packet of predetermined size, are added at a fixed rate.

The description in terms of the leaky bucket algorithm may be the easier of the two to understand from a conceptual perspective, as it is based on a simple analogy of a bucket with a leak: see figure 1 on the leaky bucket page.

However, there has been confusion in the literature over the application of the leaky bucket analogy to produce an algorithm, which has crossed over to the GCRA.

Thus the flow diagram mimics the leaky bucket analogy ( used as a meter ) directly, with X and X ' acting as the analogue of the bucket.

The virtual scheduling algorithm, while not so obviously related to such an easily accessible analogy as the leaky bucket, gives a clearer understanding of what the GCRA does and how it may be best implemented.

The specific analogy to the dilemma of love is the problem of the `` breakthrough '' in the realm of art.

Perhaps it is only an analogy, but one of the most obvious differences between cheap fiction and fiction of an enduring quality is the development of a theme or story with leisure and anticipation.

Much criticism has been leveled at this rather forced analogy, but what is equally significant is Adams' complete acceptance of the Biblical record as `` good and trustworthy history ''.

Although the Af calculation is obvious by analogy with that for gravitational field and osmotic pressure, it is interesting to confirm it by a method which can be generalized to include related effects.

This hypothesis is evolved in analogy to the demonstrated action of organic actives in detergency.

It is not a farfetched analogy to say that this is what Thomas did to poetry.

This transuranic element of the actinide series is located in the periodic table below the lanthanide element europium, and thus by analogy was named after another continent, America.

" His term for analogy is Latin analogia.

The analogy is said of being in many different ways, but the key to it is the real distinction between existence and essence.

An analogy of proportion is therefore possible: " essence is related to existence as potency is related to act.

A common analogy explains that space itself is expanding, carrying galaxy | galaxies with it, like spots on an inflating balloon.

One helpful analogy is that by creating multiple VLANs, the number of broadcast domains increases, but the size of each broadcast domain size decreases.

Burnt-in timecode ( often abbreviated to BITC by analogy to VITC ) is a human-readable on-screen version of the timecode information for a piece of material superimposed on a video image.

In some situations where 4NT is a quantitative invitation, especially where 4 is a jump, many partnerships use the Gerber convention by some analogy to the Blackwood family: 4 asks for the number of aces or key cards.

To find out what the precise law is that applies to a particular set of facts, one has to locate precedential decisions on the topic, and reason from those decisions by analogy.

This analogy is extremely simplistic and incomplete: The rapid propagation of a sound wave does not impart any change in the air molecules ' drift velocity, whereas EM waves do carry the energy to propagate the actual current at a rate which is much, much higher than the electrons ' drift velocity.
