  Inferior good - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In consumer theory, an inferior good is a good that decreases in demand when income rises, unlike the more common normal goods, for which the opposite is observed.
Inferiority, in this sense, is an observable fact rather than a statement about the quality of the good.
A special type of inferior good may exist known as the Giffen good, which would disobey the "law of demand".

 The Mirage
The inferior mirage forms when light rays passing through a relatively warm layer of air are bent upward from their path.
Inferior mirages commonly form when the air near the ground is much warmer than that above it -- the relatively warmer the air, the greater the effect.
Inferior mirages may also form over heated vertical surfaces such as a rock face or wall, giving a surreal view of the surroundings appearing over this surface, including the "pool of water" illusion clinging to a vertical surface.

 Germania Inferior
The army of Germania Inferior marched from the mouth of the Rhine through the inland to the sources of the Lippe, where a camp was built at Anreppen.
Meanwhile, the army of Germania Inferior was commanded by Publius Quinctilius Varus, one of the most important senators of his age and a personal friend of Augustus.
From this moment on, Germania Inferior was only a small province: a small stretch of land to the southwest of the Lower Rhine, with the country of the Frisians and Chauci as an appendix.

The IFC is defined as cortex anterior to the precentral sulcus, inferior to the inferior frontal sulcus and superior and posterior to the lateral orbital sulcus (Figure 1).
When the inferior frontal sulcus and precentral sulcus do not meet, draw a straight line between the most medial point of the inferior frontal sulcus to the most medial point of the precentral sulcus (Figure 4).
Since the inferior frontal sulcus is not clearly defined in the axial slices of this region, the cortical object model must be used to distinguish this geometric line (Figure 8 and Figure 9).

 The Mirage
The terms inferior and superior are not commentaries on their quality of the mirage's appearance but refer to the perceived position of the image relative to the actual location of the object.
The appearance of the inferior mirage always indicates that the surface air is much warmer than the air above it due to the strong heating of the surface by the sun or some other heat source.
This "inferior" lateral mirage results from a strong temperature gradient next to the wall similar to the condition of an inferior mirage turned sideways.

 Inferior Five
The Inferior Five began as an exercise in freak out street theatre, as a performance piece intended to lampoon The Four in particular, costumed vigilantes in general, the comic book culture of modern American life, the absurdity of struggle in the face of overwhelming adversity.
The idea of the Inferior Five came to him in a vision of pharmaceutical induced clarity, when he realized that others on the bus were also related to crime fighters or mystery men or women.
When he proposed the idea of the Inferior Five troupe they were at first reluctant but his persistence and the camaraderie of their shared drug experience finally convinced them to help him create his street theatre troupe.

The paucity of reports of VN with selective lesion of the inferior nerve has been explained by the shorter and wider ossesous canal of the inferior nerve compared to the superior branch [9].
VN with selective lesion of the inferior nerve (iVN) is difficult to diagnose, owing to the lack of clinical tests for posterior canal or saccular function.
Although some of their patients might have suffered from vestibular migraine, a disorder which can present with these findings [11], a neuritis of the inferior vestibular nerve was assumed to be the most probable explanation.

Symptomatic ICB might respond to (1) outfracture of the inferior turbinate and squeezing of the ICB with Takahashi's forceps or a concha bullosa crusher, (10) (2) simple excision of varying amounts of the free edge of the inferior turbinate with angled scissors, (3) submucous resection of the inferior turbinate, or (4) bipolar submucosal electrocoagulation.

 The Inferior Colliculus
As in the measurements of blood flow, baseline uptake of deoxyglucose is highest in the inferior colliculus.
Processing of acoustic stimuli in the inferior colliculus plays a key role in representation of space, and this involves moment to moment damping of some signals to enhance focus on sounds of greater importance.
Variability in which of the brainstem nuclei of high metabolic rate are damaged is likely due to a variety of protective biofeedback mechanisms, and the most active inferior colliculus may have priority over areas with lesser metabolic demands.

Further, if the superior angels enlighten the inferior about all they know, nothing that the superior angels know would be unknown to the inferior angels.
Nevertheless this gift is not received so excellently by the inferior as by the superior angels; and therefore the superior ever remain in a higher order, and have a more perfect knowledge; as the master understands the same thing better than the pupil who learns from him.
The Master's words are not to be understood as if the inferior angels were entirely ignorant of the Mystery of the Incarnation but that they did not know it as fully as the superior angels; and that they progressed in the knowledge of it afterwards when the Mystery was accomplished.

After local anesthesia is applied to the lateral nasal wall in the inferior meatus, exposure is maximized by medializing the inferior turbinate.

A curved or straight: microdebrider is passed through the inferior meatal window, and the lesion is removed in a precise and controlled manner (figure, B, C, and D).

Carlos Souza-Dias, M.D. Mauro Goldchmit, M.D. The authors present their experience with the correction of hypertropia in primary position by unilateral inferior oblique weakening, in patients who have inferior oblique overaction of only one eye or a marked overaction in the hypertropic eye and only a mild overaction in the other eye.
In 19 patients who had a recession of the inferior oblique, they achieved an average correction of 8.4 PD +/- 4.0 PD of the hypertropia.
Unilateral weakening of the inferior oblique is a good procedure for correcting hypertropia, provided that certain restrictions are observed.
