  Declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nominative-accusative (or simply accusative): The argument (subject) of an intransitive verb is in the same case as the agent (subject) of a transitive verb; this case is then called the nominative case, with the patient (direct object) of a transitive verb being in the accusative case.
The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.

These 'associations' may suggest that there is a causal relationship, and may then be used to justify a study of causal relationships, but it is incorrect to jump from the discovery of an association to a conclusion of causation.
Considering that each of the cases was a homicide reported to the police, we can expect that there was a police investigation and not only was a gun found if there was one in the home, but that there would be little reluctance to admit the fact.
Sampling the cases and controls in the same way: One strategy is to choose a control group that _compensates_ for an unrepresentative sample of cases by being unrepresentative in the same way." "2.

 Genitive_case
The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
These are sometimes not identified as the genitive case, and in many instances are not marked with the apostrophe, but these usages demonstrate use of nouns in the genitive case as adverbs in the Germanic language, indicating the time when the events described happen.
In Baltic-Finnic languages, the accusative case -(e)n is homophonic to the genitive case.

 interdisciplines : Causalité : Causality vs. Explanation. Objective Relations vs. Subjective Interests.
Whereas causal attribution is a cognitive process that involves referring an event to its source, whether it be a painting to its author, or an event to its origin, explanation is a three-place predicate describing a social interaction whereby someone explains something to someone else.
As such causal explanation must obey the rules of conversation (Grice, 1975); a good explanation must be probably true, informative given an interlocutor’s state of knowledge, relevant to her interests, and expressed clearly.
Causal modelling approaches thus seem to be very useful for resolving the attribution question that I raised at the beginning of this essay, in the sense of tracing an outcome to its origins.

 Accusative case - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
The same case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions.
This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence.

 Naturalizing
In these later cases, any mental act whatsoever could be related to any object, or indeed to none, for the relation is external to the nature of the act, it is superimposed on it by outside forces.
A causal interpretation of Intentionality makes the mistake of presupposing realism, for it assumes that objects are already defined before they enter the Intentional relation, whereas to a transcendentalist the point of Intentionality is to account for how objects come to be defined as they are in the first place.
In the case of language we have a gap between two elements, the intrinsic character of the sentence as an event or being and the act of the agent in using it to mean something.

Case study methods are superior at process tracing and identifying causal mechanisms, identifying omitted variables, and measuring qualitative variables, and they also have advantages in the genetic explanation of individual cases and of path-dependent processes.
Comparative case studies, with a small number of cases that are not necessarily chosen to provide a "representative" sample of some population, are much weaker at establishing covariance between independent and dependent variables (for a discussion of the uses and limits of the "congruence method" in case studies, see George, 1997).
Case study methods have frequently been criticized for their use of John Stuart Mill's "method of agreement" and his "method of difference." Mill's methods of comparison are only one source of inference in case comparisons, however, and case study researchers essentially never rely on these methods of comparison alone, usually supplementing them with process tracing.

In a case study done by an alert social scientist who has thorough local acquaintance, the theory he uses to explain the focal difference also generates predictions or expectations on dozens of other aspects of the culture, and he does not retain the theory unless most of these are also confirmed.
Case study methods allow for the inductive identification of variables as well as their deductive specification, and they do not face a narrowly-defined degrees of freedom problem on how many independent variables to include.
Most of the case study literature is "outcome-centric" in that it focuses on explaining variance in outcomes in terms of the the causal variables and contingent conditions that account for this variance.

 THE ROLE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In general, the case study process involves reading the case text to determine the facts of the case, the issue or problem, the business decision, and lastly, some reasoning as to whether the decision is supported by the factual results of the case from the readerís perspective.
A comparison of a case study and its causal diagram was performed to illustrate the collaborative role of information technology in a learning organization to test the study hypothesis.
After completing the case brief and causal diagram, the results were compared to each other and to the learning organization attributes to determine the collaborative manner in which the two methods complement a learning organization.

For causal theorists like Nagel and myself, finding the crucial difference between the cases is important for survival.
In Case 2, causal continuity is disrupted as our existence for a period is solely as information, either in a computer, or the surgeon's mind.
So, the best response that the causal theorist can give is to ask what a realization of brain storage is in a computer, and to point out that almost every example of information storage in a computer is interpreted, and not intrinsically complete.

 Triangulation in Research
A research design of a case study is the logic that links the data to be collected and the conclusions to be drawn to the initial questions of a study.
The case study investigator also must maximize four aspects of the quality of any design: construct validity, internal validity, external validity, and reliability.
Vignettes can be used as: as a representation of a formal program evaluation, as a mini cases for in-service training, as a potential research tool to describe a case study, and problem solving and policy planning.

In the present case, the unlawfulness consists in the failure of the Community legislature, when it adopted Regulation No 2340/90, to provide for compensation for the damage caused by that regulation to undertakings in the applicant's position.
In the present case, no Community provision imposes on the institutions the obligation to adopt measures protecting economic operators against the risks of reprisals on the part of a non-Member State which is subject to sanctions imposed at international level.
The Court finds that that prohibition does not apply to financial transactions relating to supplies which, as in the present case, were wholly carried out more than a year before the date of entry into force of the regulation and which do not have as their object or effect to promote supplies after that date.

So in any case in which Sonny is making a choice, the right choice is to stay out of the mineshaft.
And maybe this is the limiting case of examples like the ones Andy cites, in which people have reason to believe that the people who will choose a certain course of action are those who suffer from a condition that will make them less likely to succeed at it.
In this case, it's like the Sonny case in reverse--Paul might as well push the button, since if he's a psychopath he's doomed anyway.

 PhysOrgForum Science, Physics and Technology Discussion Forums -> Quoting a Post in Laplace vs. Fourier
By the way, if you set up a Green's function formalism for the Schroedinger equation in terms of Laplace, rather than Fourier transforms, you will automatically get the retarded (or causal) case, without having to worry about "adiabatic switching on" and the resulting +/- i epsilon terms in the denominator.
Posted on Aug 10 2005, 07:02 PM The Fourier transform is a special case of the Laplace transform.
The Fourier transform is when the real part of the transform variable is equal to zero (where the s in the Laplace transform is equal to jwt: s=0+jwt or s=jwt).

Now that I have had a chance to present my case that gay marriage is undermining marriage in Europe to the Constitution Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, a chorus of critics has risen to challenge my argument.
Gay marriage is part and parcel of a whole new stage of marital decline — a stage still relatively unfamiliar in the United States.
And in the Netherlands, the causal impact of gay marriage on marital decline has been decisive.

Meantime, Andrew Sullivan has posted entries here and here attempting to rebut my Scandinavia argument.
Norwegian radicals were able to use gay marriage to suppress traditionalists and to argue for a still more liberalized cohabitation regime.
Spedale's naive praise for parental cohabitation is the antithesis of Sullivan's "conservative case" for gay marriage.
