 Objective (grammar) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An objective pronoun functions as the target of a verb, as distinguished from a subjective pronoun, which is the initiator of a verb.
Several relatively common usages of objective pronouns in the subject position are regarded as errors by prescriptive grammarians, though descriptive grammarians class such usages as dialect and a natural part of language evolution.
Objective pronouns are instances of the oblique case.

 Objective approach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taking an "objective approach" may not always be relevant, particularly in cases where it is impossible to be objective either because the relevant facts and viewpoints necessary are lacking, or because it is the subjective opinion or response that happens to be important.
Taking an objective approach often contrasts with arguments from authority, where it is argued that X is true because an authority Y says so.
An objective approach is particularly important in science, and in decision-making processes which affect large numbers of people (e.g.

 Learn English - English Grammar - Case
Objective case: pronouns used as objects of verbs or prepositions.
You cannot really go wrong here, we have shed most of our cases and as a result English is easier than many other languages because nouns and some indefinite pronouns ( anyone, someone, everyone, and so on) only have a distinctive case form for the possessive.
One result of this simplicity is that, the sense of case being almost lost, the few mistakes that can be made are made often, even by native speakers, some of them so often that they are now almost right by prescription.

 Objective idealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Objective idealism is a metaphysics that postulates that there is in an important sense only one perceiver, and that this perceiver is one with that which is perceived.
It is, certainly, distinct from the subjective idealism of George Berkeley, and it abandons the thing-in-itself of Kant's dualism.
One important advocate of such a metaphysic, Josiah Royce wrote that he was indifferent "whether anybody calls all this Theism or Pantheism."

 idealism on Encyclopedia.com
The post-Kantian German idealism of J. Fichte and Friedrich von Schelling, which culminated in the absolute or objective idealism of G. Hegel, began with a denial of the unknowable thing-in-itself, thereby enabling these philosophers to treat all reality as the creation of mind or spirit.
held that the apparently objective world has its existence in the consciousness of individuals.
Forms of post-Kantian idealism were developed in Germany by Arthur Schopenhauer and Hermann Lotze and in England by Samuel Coleridge; forms of post-Hegelian idealism were developed in England and France by T. Green, Victor Cousin, and C. Renouvier.

 C programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
C is prized for the efficiency of the code it produces, and is the most popular programming language for writing system software, though it is also used for writing applications.
C is used as an intermediate language by some high-level languages (Eiffel, Sather, Esterel) which do not output object or machine code, but output C source code only, to submit to a C compiler, which then outputs finished object or machine code.
C was originally developed (along with the Unix operating system with which it has long been associated) by programmers and for programmers, with few users other than its own designers in mind.

 Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Anatomy of the Microscope - Microscope Objectives
Objectives of lower magnification often have a rear focal plane that is exterior to the barrel, located in the thread area or within the microscope nosepiece.
The magnification of an infinity-corrected objective is calculated by dividing the reference focal length by the focal length of the objective lens.
Objectives are designed to image specimens either with air or a medium of higher refractive index between the front lens and the specimen.

 Project objective - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In project management, project objective is a business benefit that an organization expects to achieve as a result of injecting project product(s) into itself or its environment.
A more formal way to define project objective is: a desired change in key performance measures (indicators) of an organization, resulting from the interplay between project products injected into the organization or its environment and the organization itself.
Care should be taken to list only such non-objectives that can be reasonably expected by project sponsors or other interested parties, but are not going to be achieved by the project.

 Welcome to Objective Design of Experiments
I will compare a conventional design with a corresponding I-optimal design for three different cases: case 1 is a simple process factor design; case 2 is a mixture design; and case 3 is a process factor design with a constraint.
Their designs are called "spherical code designs" or "Hardin-Sloane designs." Doehlert, Hardin and Sloane have made it feasible for industrial experimenters to use I-optimal designs in their work.
The effect of a design on the quality of predictions is seldom considered when selecting a design.
