  Oblique case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case of a sentence subject or the vocative case of direct address.
In ergative-absolutive languages, the absolutive case is used for a direct object (the subject will then be in the ergative case); but the absolutive case is also used for the subject of an intransitive verb, where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.
Oblique cases appear in the English pronoun set; these pronouns are often called objective pronouns.

 Nikon MicroscopyU: Illumination for Stereomicroscopy - Oblique Illumination
Oblique illumination is achieved by means of a sliding diaphragm that shields the center of the light beam to produce a partially coherent light source, which is projected obliquely onto the specimen, producing a high contrast image.
Oblique illumination is similar in many aspects to the darkfield technique except that, instead of the specimen being lighted from all directions at oblique angles, light is projected from only a single azimuth.
Oblique illumination is generally achieved by placing a slit or sector stop beneath the lower lens and aperture diaphragm of the condenser, allowing only oblique light passing through the narrow opening of the stop to illuminate the specimen.

 Info and facts on 'Oblique case'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case (The category of nouns serving as the grammatical subject of a verb) of a sentence subject or the vocative case (The case (in some inflected languages) used when the referent of the noun is being addressed) of direct address.
Bulgarian, the only analytic Slavic language, also has an oblique case - or, rather, two of them at pronoun (A function word that is used in place of a noun or noun phrase) s (cf.
In analytic Indo-European (The family of languages that by 1000 BC were spoken throughout Europe and in parts of southwestern and southern Asia) languages, the oblique case is a relic of the original, more complex system of noun cases from the common Proto-Indo-European (additional info and facts about Proto-Indo-European) language.

 Oblique
Oblique drawing is the crudest '3D' drawing method but the easiest to master.
Oblique is not really a '3D' system but a 2 dimensional view of an object with 'forced depth'.
When using oblique the side of the object you are looking at is drawn in two dimensions, i.e.

This oblique illumination is in fact a useful way of improving the visibility of some low contrast subjects like protozoa and the details on diatoms.
The same view with the oblique patch stop gives a very pleasing depth to the cell especially the nucleus, cell granules and folding of the cell (again, the visual image is a lot clearer than in the captured image).
The oblique patch stop is certainly a cheap and cheerful way for the amateur to improve contrast for some subjects, especially at medium powers where patch stops for dark-field get trickier to make.

 Oblique
The oblique grid appeals to me because it retains something of the symmetry of a regular chess board, thus retaining the greatest useful area for the game.
This appealed to me because it adds another element of obliqueness and retains the forward movement of the Pawn, which is important for playability.
Oblique has an unusual setup because of the orientation of the board.

 A Primer On Oblique Strategizing
There is now another set of the Oblique Strategies in existence, and it looks nothing like this; perhaps the best way to think of the differences between the earlier versions and the fourth edition deck is by analogy.
It seems clear, also, that the deck was not conceived of as a set of "fixed" instructions, but rather a group of ideas to be added to or modified over time; each of the three decks included 4 or 5 blank cards, intended to be filled and used as needed.
The function of the Oblique Strategies was, initially, to serve as a series of prompts which said, "Don't forget that you could adopt *this* attitude," or "Don't forget you could adopt *that* attitude."

 AOJ 47: 118-121 "Anterior Transposition of the Inferior Oblique Muscles"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Mark S. Ruttum, M.D. The records of 76 patients who underwent bilateral anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscles were retrospectively reviewed with respect to the effect that this surgery had on inferior oblique function, "V" pattern, and reduction or prevention of dissociated vertical deviation.
Inferior oblique muscle anterior transposition was slightly less effective than myectomy in normalizing inferior oblique function and eliminating "V" pattern, but was more effective in preventing small-to-moderate cases of dissociated vertical deviation from developing in patients who initially had bilateral inferior oblique muscle overaction but no dissociated vertical deviation.
Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscles was also successful in eliminating or reducing the severity of dissociated vertical deviation in the majority of patients who had inferior oblique overaction and dissociated vertical deviation.

 Polarised oblique lighting
I have written about oblique and diffuse lighting before and stressed in both articles the advantages of experimenting with illumination.
The degree of obliqueness, and extent of crossing of the polarisers is left to the observer, and these two combinations promise a wide variation of image enhancement.
Again I stress that the variations of settings of both the oblique lighting and the degree of crossing of the polarising filters is endless, and in the final analysis has more to do with personal tastes and preferences than scientific exactness.

 NASA Dryden AD-1 Oblique Wing Photo Collection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The oblique wing could be rotated on its center pivot so that it could be set at its most efficient angle for the speed at which the airplane was flying.
The oblique wing was the brainchild of NASA aeronautical engineer Robert T. Jones, whose analytical and wind tunnel studies at the NASA Ames Research Center, Moffet Field, California, indicated that an oblique wing, supersonic transport might achieve twice the fuel economy of an aircraft sporting more conventional wings.
Although the oblique wing is still considered a viable concept for large transports, the unpleasant flying characteristics of the AD-1 at extreme wing-sweep angles may have discouraged aircraft designers from adopting this configuration.

Some of these exercises, we believe, are better for training the side abs (the obliques), some for the lower and others for the upper abs.
This suggests that the obliques play an important role in lumbar flexion movement, which is more demanding than trunk rotation.
The hollowing movement is associated with good lumbar stabilisation, and again the obliques are important in producing this movement.

Then the study of oblique triangles is really the study of all triangles.

These are called the "law of cosines" and the "law of sines." There are other "laws" that used to be used, but since the common use of calculators, these two laws are enough.

 Oblique House
Oblique House is name of the palatial 200-square foot office in which scriptwriters John Pellatt and Kenn Scott toil at their chosen trade, often late into the night after all right-thinking people have gone to bed.
Since founding Oblique House in 1997, Kenn and John have sold (collectively or individually) more than 70 animated and live-action television scripts, and they have also managed to grab about 8 hours of sleep (cumulative grand total) in the process.
As well, the walls of Oblique House meet each other at angles of exactly 90 degrees, which means there are no oblique angles within the structure of Oblique House.

However, the incidence of inferior oblique overaction was not significantly different in infantile esotropia versus esotropia of late onset, while superior oblique overaction proved more frequent in infantile esotropia.
Post-surgical development of oblique muscle overaction in infantile esotropia patients with normal preoperative oblique function reached 19.3%.
In esotropia of late onset, the development of oblique muscle overaction after horizontal surgery was minimal and only observed in two cases.
