Metaphor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ironically, "not knowing the difference between a simile and a metaphor" is sometimes used as a euphemism for knowing little about rhetoric or literature. Two influential figures in modern use of metaphor are: George Lakoff, one of America's foremost linguists, and Milton Erickson, the so-called "father of modern hypnotherapy". A therapeutic metaphor is an extended metaphor, used in psychotherapy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Metaphor   (2238 words)

Mixed economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As it is unlikely that an economy will contain a perfectly even mix, mixed economies are usually noted as being skewed either toward capitalism or statism in varying degrees. The term mixed economy was coined to identify economic systems which stray from the ideals of either capitalism or various command economies and "mix" with elements of each other. Private businesses produce most goods and services, and almost two-thirds of the nation's total economic output goes to individuals for personal use (the remaining one-third is bought by government and business). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mixed_economy   (1325 words)

Mixed inhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mathematically, mixed inhibition occurs when the alpha and alpha-prime factors (introduced into the Michaelis-Menten equation to account for competitive and uncompetitive inhibition, respectively) are both present (i.e., greater than unity). Mixed inhibition refers to a combination of two different types of reversible enzyme inhibition--competitive inhibition and uncompetitive inhibition. In a special case of mixed inhibition, the alpha and alpha-prime factors are equal, and noncompetitive inhibition occurs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mixed_inhibition   (1325 words)

Metaphor. Fowler, H. W. 1908. The King's English Mixed metaphor is the result of negligence, and can generally be put right by a simple adaptation of the language to whichever metaphor is to be retained. Unsustained metaphor is rather an error of judgement: it is unsustained either because it was difficult to sustain, or because it was not worth sustaining; in either case abandonment is the simplest course. Take such a word as explain: its literal meaning is 'spread out flat': how are we to say now whether necessity or picturesqueness first prompted its metaphorical use? www.bartleby.com /116/305.html   (2463 words)

Tensor -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article Tensors may be written down in terms of (A system that uses coordinates to establish position) coordinate systems, as arrays of scalars, but are defined so as to be independent of any chosen (A system of assumptions and standards that sanction behavior and give it meaning) frame of reference. Note that the word "tensor" is often used as a shorthand for (additional info and facts about tensor field) tensor field, which is a tensor value defined at every point in a (A pipe that has several lateral outlets to or from other pipes) manifold. Tensors are of importance in (The science of matter and energy and their interactions) physics and (The discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems) engineering. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/t/te/tensor.htm   (2044 words)

Encyclopedia: Mixed language Mixed languages Oxford is a city and local government district in Oxfordshire, England, with a population of 134,248 (2001 census). A mixed language may be said to evolve from persistent code-switching and indeed language names like "Spanglish" are often given to persistent code-switiching long before it is clear that a genuine mixed language has evolved. A mixed language is a language that arises when two languages are in contact and there is a high degree of bilingualism among speakers. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Mixed-language   (2098 words)

Standard gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the United States, because some early trains were purchased from the UK, parts of the rail system, mainly in the north-east, adopted the same gauge. This is opposed to narrow gauge modeling, which models real-world narrow gauge, or off-scale modeling, where track is not true to scale, such as in O gauge. The subsequent Gauge Act of 1846 ruled that new railways should be built to standard gauge, but allowed the broad gauge companies to continue expanding their networks. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Standard_gauge   (2098 words)

Great Western Railway By the 1860s the gauge war was lost; with the merger of the standard-gauge West Midlands Railway into the GWR in 1861 mixed gauge came to Paddington, and by 1869 there was no broad gauge track north of Oxford. This was the beginning of the "gauge war", and resulted in the appointment by Parliament of a Gauge Commission, which duly recommended in favour of the standard gauge. The final stretch of broad gauge was converted to standard in a single weekend in May 1892. pedia.newsfilter.co.uk /wikipedia/g/gr/great_western_railway.html   (2098 words)

Radix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When describing radix in mathematical notation, the letter b is generally used as a symbol for this concept, so, for a binary system, b equals 2. The radix (Latin for root), also called base, is the number of various unique symbols (or digits or numerals) a positional numeral system uses to represent numbers. The highest symbol of a positional numeral system usually has the value one less than the value of the radix of that numeral system (but see decimal without a zero for a counter example). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Radix   (247 words)

Graph (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A mixed graph G is an ordered triple G := (V,E,A) with V, E and A defined as above. V (and hence E) are usually taken to be finite sets, and many of the well-known results are not true (or are rather different) for infinite graphs because many of the arguments fail in the infinite case. In a weighted graph or digraph, each edge is associated with some value, variously called its cost, weight, length or other term depending on the application; such graphs arise in many contexts, for example in optimal route problems such as the traveling salesman problem. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Graph_(mathematics)   (52 words)

Dual gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dual gauge was used in Londonderry, by the Port Authority, in an on-street network to transfer goods, on either gauge, between the city's four stations (two 3 ft narrow gauge, two 5 ft 3 in broad gauge). Standard gauge (4 ft 8½ in, 1435 mm) and 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) gauge (as found in Africa) are sufficiently dissimilar to allow 3-rail dual gauge track. On the other hand, metre gauge (3 ft 3.4 in) and 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) as found in Africa are too similar to work in 3-rail dual gauge. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dual_gauge   (52 words)

Mixed-breed dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Guessing a mixed-breed's unknown ancestry is difficult for even knowledgeable dog observers, because mixed breeds have much more genetic variation than among purebreds. Random-bred dog, mutt, and mongrel are often used for dogs who result from breeding without the supervision or planning of humans, especially after several generations, whereas mixed breed and crossbreed often imply mixes of known breeds, sometimes deliberately mated. Mixed breed dogs are, on average, no more intelligent than purebred dogs, and both sets feature both slow learners and dogs with high learning capacity. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mixed-breed_dog   (52 words)

McVay, Metaphors for the Church in Ephesians The modern abrogation of the use of "mixed metaphors" is an extension of the classical principle of decorum. Those four tenets are: 1) Metaphor is not mere adornment of language; 2) Metaphor is irreducible in not being exhausted through paraphrase; 3) The communicative impact and cognitive value of metaphor are to be presumed rather than impugned; 4) Complex and "mixed" metaphor should not be approached from the negative presumptions of a "classical" view. In mixed metaphor "we understand the speaker's intention directly; hence mixed metaphor is a sin against eloquence rather than a sin against meaning" (Metaphor and Religious Language, 73). www.andrews.edu /~jmcvay/puc_classes/relb342/Metaphor.htm   (2241 words)

Pullback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is precisely because a pullback on mixed tensors would need to be "going in the opposed direction" for the contravariant indeces. A general mixed tensor will then transform as a mixture of transposes and inverses, depending on whether the indices are contra- or co-variant. This article focuses primarily on the pullback of tensors on differentiable manifolds. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pullback   (888 words)

Dr. Ivan Yotov: Papers and Reports The mixed method is expanded in the sense that three variables are explicitly approximated, namely, the scalar unknown, the negative of its gradient, and its flux (the tensor coefficient times the negative gradient). Quadrature rules turn the mixed method into a cell-centered finite difference method with a 9 point stencil in 2-D and 19 in 3-D. As shown by theory and experiment, if the modified permeability on the computational domain is smooth, then the convergence rate is optimal and both pressure and velocity are superconvergent at certain points. Existing theory shows that the expanded mixed method gives optimal order approximations in the L www.ticam.utexas.edu /Groups/SubSurfMod/papers/yotov.html   (1661 words)

PlanetMath: strategy It defines a probability over the strategies, and reflect that, rather than choosing a particular pure strategy, the player will randomly select a pure strategy based on the distribution given by their mixed strategy. A mixed strategy is an assignment of a probability to each pure strategy. Of course, every pure strategy is a mixed strategy (the function which takes that strategy to planetmath.org /encyclopedia/Strategy2.html   (192 words)

Hessian matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1 Mixed derivatives and symmetry of the Hessian The mixed derivatives of f are the entries off the main diagonal in the Hessian. In a formal statement: if the second derivatives of f are all continuous in a region D, then the Hessian of f is a symmetric matrix throughout D; see symmetry of second derivatives. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hessian_matrix   (417 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mixed Marriage Thus Pius VI allowed mixed marriages in Austria to take place in the presence of a priest, provided no religious solemnity was employed, and with the omission of public banns, as evidence of the unwillingness of the Church to sanction such unions. As to a mixed marriage contracted before a non-Catholic minister, Pope Pius IX issued an instruction, 17 Feb., 1864. Hence arose the impediments to a marriage with a heretic ( mixta religio) and with an infidel ( disparitas cultus). www.newadvent.org /cathen/09698a.htm   (417 words)

Mixed media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When creating a work of art using Mixed Media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to insure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed.바보 en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mixed_media   (417 words)

Payoff matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The expectation of F relative to Pr is the extension of F to mixed strategies. A mixed strategy profile is an association of mixed strategies to players, that is an m-tuple of mixed strategies The study of infinite games is more difficult however, since it requires use of functional analytic techniques. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Payoff   (814 words)

Spice mix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When a certain combination of herbs or spices is called for in many different recipes (or in one recipe that is used frequently), it is convenient to blend these ingredients beforehand. These spice mixes are also easily made by the home cook for later use. Blends such as Chili powder, curry powder, herbes de Provence, garlic salt, and onion salt are traditionally sold pre-made by grocers, and sometimes baking blends such as pumpkin pie spice are also available. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Spice_mix   (814 words)
