  Vocative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person being addressed, found in Latin among other languages.
In Latin, e.g., the nominative case is lupus and the vocative case is lupe!
In English the vocative case is not marked, but English syntax performs a similar function; witness: "John, could you come here?" or "I don't think so, John", where "John" is neither subject nor object of the verb, but rather indicates the person to whom the statement is being addressed.

 Nominative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech.
In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).

 Accusative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.

The patient of a (transitive) verb is 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.

 Genitive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
In some languages, nouns in the genitive case also agree in case with the nouns they modify (that is, the head noun is marked for two cases).
Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

This case in Finnish language can express that something happens at a frequent point in time (e.g.
It is restricted to a small number of adverb stems and nouns, mostly those with the plural formed with an -i- suffix.
The temporal distributive case specifies when something is done, in contrast to the distributive case, which is specifies how often something is done, as in regular maintenance.

This couldn't be done without reinterpreting to a certain extent the notion of what a case is for agglutinating languages, such as those in the Finno-Ugric language group.
Most common of the cases in Hungarian are the nominative case, accusative case and dative case; some express location and placement (see the chart below); and some express other relations (terminative case, essive-formal case, instrumental-comitative case, translative case, causal-final case).
There are further cases of restricted use (locative case, essive-modal case, distributive case, distributive-temporal case, sociative case).

 CONTEXT3. Spatial and temporal analysis of epidemiological data: International Development Research Centre
This paper is a survey of the concepts and methodologies of spatial and temporal analysis that could be beneficial for health-related studies, particularly to public health professionals and policymakers at the state, national, and local levels.
A common measure used by epidemiologists to identify increases in case occurrence of diseases, is the ratio of case numbers at a particular time to past case occurrence using the mean or median.
Detection of temporal clusters, understood as a change in the frequency of disease occurrence, is important to stimulate research into the causes, and to encourage the development of preventive strategies.

 WEIGHING TEMPORAL PROXIMITY IN TITLE VII RETALIATION CLAIMS
Temporal proximity is crucial in many retaliation claims because retaliatory employers rarely memorialize their retaliatory motives.
342 The sufficiency of temporal proximity evidence alone to defeat a motion for summary judgment, therefore, depends on the sufficiency of temporal proximity to prove a causal connection by a preponderance of the evidence.
Moreover, at least in cases in which the factual context makes it appropriate, temporal proximity alone should be sufficient to create a genuine material issue for the jury, and therefore, to defeat a defendant’s motion for summary judgment.

 Relative Identity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The most common objections -- that on the temporal parts account, objects are not "wholly present" at any given time, and that on the relations-to-times account, seemingly simply properties of objects, such as Oscar having a gray muzzle, are complicated relations -- do little more than affirm what their targets deny.
There is a similar conflict of criteria in the case of personal identity: Brain duplication scenarios (Wiggins, 1967, Parfit, 1984) suggest that it is logically possible for one person to split into two competitors, each with equal claim to be the original person.
Secondly, the interesting cases of RI do not involve a shift from an impoverished point of view to an improved one -- whether this is seen in epistemic terms (which Geach disputes -- Geach, (1973)) or in purely logical terms.

 Declension in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This collapse of the separate case pronouns into the same word is one of the reasons grammarians consider the dative and accusative cases to be extinct in English — neither is an ideal term for the role played by "whom".
The information formerly conveyed by having distinct case forms is now mostly provided by prepositions and word order.
Modern English morphologically distinguishes only one case, the possessive case — which some linguists argue is not a case at all, but a clitic (see the entry for genitive case for more information).

In linguistics, the ablative case is a noun case found in several languages, including Armenian, Latin, Sanskrit and the Finno-Ugric languages.
In Finnish, the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the meaning "from off of", e.g.
It is an outer locative case, used just as the adessive and allative cases to denote both being on top of something and "being around the place" (as opposed to the inner locative case, the elative, which means "from out of" or "from the inside of").

casus generalis) is a noun case of analytic languages that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
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.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Case history matching is two-fold, i.e., there are two similarity values need to be computed: the non-temporal similarity degree and the temporal similarity degree.
However, in non-temporal matching of case histories h1 and h2, due to the fact that elemental cases appearing in case histories are not actually ordered by their index, there is a combinatorial problem in pairing the two case histories in the first place.
As mention in the previous section, in case history matching, in addition to the non-temporal similarity degree which is computed based on elemental case matching, there is an additional similarity value need to be computed, that is the temporal similarity degree which is based on temporal reference matching.

 Temporal Logic Case Study
Wood, W. This report is a case study applying temporal logic to specify the operation of a bank of identical elevators servicing a number of floors in a building.
The goal of the study was to understand the application of temporal logic in a problem domain that is appropriate for the method, and to determine some of the strengths and weaknesses of temporal logic in this domain.
The case study uses a finite state machine language to build a model of the system specification, and verifies that the temporal logic specifications are consistent using this model.

Our case is further remarkable because it is the first report of such an occurrence in a patient with familial type III hyperlipoproteinemia.
The occurrence of a xanthoma in the temporal bone, which is extremely rare, is associated with the presence of hyperlipoproteinemia IIa, IIb, and V. [5,6] In this article, we describe only the fourteenth reported case of a temporal bone xanthoma.
Although hyperlipidemia was documented in approximately one-half of the previously reported cases of temporal bone xanthoma, this is the first report of an accompanying familial type III hyperlipoproteinemia.

 Temporal Logic
The importance of the S and U operators is that they are expressively complete with respect to first-order temporal properties on continuous, strictly linear temporal orders (which is not true for the one-place operators on their own).
The reification of time instants implied by the method of temporal arguments may be regarded as philosophically suspect, instants being rather artificial constructs unsuited to playing a foundational role in temporal discourse.
This kind of manoeuvre lies at the heart of hybrid temporal logics in which the standard apparatus of propositions and tense operators is supplemented by propositions which are true at unique instants, thereby effectively naming those instants without invoking philosophically dubious reification.

Similarly, in the case of small encoded pictures on a large display the size of the display and the position of the window within that display may be specified.
Especially in case of frequent errors or temporary loss of the enhancement layer signal this concealment signal is relatively free of non-linear distortions like blocking (which could arise if high frequency DCT coefficients are completely absent from the lower layer) or motion jerkiness (if the motion information is omitted from the high priority layer).
Temporal localisation encompasses those methods aimed at minimising the extent to which errors propagate from picture to picture in the temporal sequence, by providing early resynchronisation of pictures that are coded differentially.

Objective pronouns are instances of the oblique case.
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.
Also, using the objective pronoun for the second word in a comparison with the conjunction than, regardless of whether it is a subject or object, is similary regarded as incorrect in Queen's English.

 Articles - Dative case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
The Old English language, current until approximately the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, had a dative case; however, the English case system gradually fell into disuse during the Middle English period, when the accusative and dative pronouns merged into a single objective pronoun used in both roles.
The pronoun whom is also a remnant of the dative case in English, descending from the Old English dative pronoun "hwām" (as opposed to the nominative "who", which descends from Old English "hwā") — though "whom" also absorbed the functions of the Old English accusative pronoun "hwone".

Although GCRG of the temporal bone has been purported to be a reaction to cranial trauma, (1,2,11,12) its pathogenesis remains unclear.
In this article, we report a new case of temporal bone GCRG, in which a large tumor infiltrated the sphenoid bone, infratemporal fossa, pterygoid fossa, temporomandibular joint, middle cranial fossa, and temporal lobe.
Even so, because of the small number of cases that have been reported, it is not possible to speculate whether there is a true gender predilection for temporal bone GCRG.

The present method extends the case-based reasoning module by making it capable of learning new and optimizing the existing cases where each case is a set of behavioral parameters.
In either case, the robot learns an optimal parameterization of its behavior for different environments it encounters.
The goal of this research is not only to automatically optimize the performance of the robot but also to avoid the manual configuration of behavioral parameters and the initial configuration of a case library, both of which require the user to possess good knowledge of robot behavior and the performance of numerous experiments.
