Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Glorification - Receiving of Perfection

Glorification is, for all practical purposes, the protestant version of purgatory using purgatory as "the means by which the elect receive perfection before entering into the kingdom of heaven." While purgatory deals with the means by which the elect become perfect, glorification deals with the elect becoming perfect. For the most part, all protestant denominations believe in this for ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Perfect Hair Forever - The Strange Circumstances Surrounding The Pilot's First Airing

The Perfect Hair Forever pilot first aired on November 7, 2004, in the time slot that had been advertised as the premiere of the Squidbillies pilot. Unknown to the audience at the time, the existing Squidbillies pilot had been scrapped and would not air. Williams Street continued advertising the Squidbillies premiere up to and including the bump directly preceding the show. The night's confusion began when, instead of seeing the opening titles for Squidbillies, viewers were confronted with a title card for an ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Grammatical aspect - Confusing terminology: perfective vs. perfect

The terms perfective and perfect are used in an unfortunate and highly confusing fashion in different writings about linguistics. Traditional Greek grammar uses the term "perfect" to refer to a grammatical tense encoding what is variously described as a past action with present relevance or a present state resulting from a past action. (For example, "I have gone to the cinema" implies both that I went to the cinema and that I am now in the cinema.) The perfect is opposed to the aorist, describing a simple past action, and the i ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Solution concept - Perfect Bayesian equilibrium

Main article: Bayesian game Sometimes subgame perfection does not impose large enough restriction on unreasonable outcomes. For example, since subgames cannot cut through information sets, a game of imperfect information may have only one subgame – itself – and hence subgame perfection cannot be used to eliminate any Nash equilibria. A perfect Bayesian equilibrium is a specification of players’ strategies and beliefs about which node in the information set has been reached by the play of ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Mike Mussina - Brushes With Perfection

Mussina is perhaps most infamously known for his collection of near-perfect outings: On May 30, 1997, he retired the first 25 Cleveland Indians he faced before surrendering a single to Sandy Alomar Jr. with one out in the ninth; Mussina struck-out the last two batters for a one-hit 3-0 shut-out. On August 4, 1998, he retired the first 23 Detroit Tigers he faced before surrendering a double to Frank Catalanotto with two outs in the eighth; Mussina gave up another hit in the eventual 4-0 shut-out. On September 2, ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Solution concept - Subgame perfect Nash equilibrium

Main article: Subgame perfect equilibrium A generalisation of backward induction is subgame perfection. Backward induction assumes that all future play will be rational. In subgame perfect equilibria, play in every subgame is rational (specifically a Nash equilibrium). Backward induction can only be used in terminating (finite) games of definite length and cannot be applied to games with imperfect information. In these cases, subgame perfection can be used. The eliminated Nash equilibrium described above is subgame imperfect because it is not a Nash equilibrium of the ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Energy conditions - Perfect fluids

Perfect fluids possess a matter tensor of form where is the four-velocity of the matter particles and where hab is the projection tensor onto the spatial hyperplane elements orthogonal to the four-velocity, at each event. (Notice that these hyperplane elements will not form a spatial hyperslice unless the velocity is vorticity-free; that is, irrotational.) With respect to a frame aligned with the motion of the matter particles, the components of the matte ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Complete information - Complete vs. perfect information

Although similar, complete and perfect information are not identical. Complete information refers to a state of knowledge about the structure of the game, while not necessarily having knowledge inside the game. So for example, one may have complete information in the context of a Prisoner's Dilemma, but nonetheless this is a game of imperfect information since one does not know the action of the other player. Examples of incomplete but perfect information are more difficult. Suppose you are playing a game of chess against an opponent ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Semiconductor - Required purity and perfection of semiconductor materials

Semiconductors with predictable, reliable electronic properties are necessary for mass production. The level of chemical purity needed is extremely high because the presence of impurities even in very small proportions can have large effects on the properties of the material. A high degree of crystalline perfection is also required, since faults in crystal structure (such as dislocations, twins, and stacking faults) interfere with the semiconducting properties of the material. Crystalline faults are a major cause of defective semiconductor d ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Public bathing - Bodily perfection and self-consciousness

In what some see as the prudish United States, women strive to achieve a bodily perfection yet are often uncomfortable in situations requiring nudity, like the shower at the local gym. For Muslim women, not usually seen in public, the hammam is a social center where they feel no self-consciousness about their bodies and where they can catch up on each other's lives and socialize. Public baths do not exist per se in United States today, except in certain resorts and isolated locations. For example, Esalen on the Big Sur coast of Califo ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Cell Dragon Ball - Perfect Cell Saga

Kuririn, enraged by Cell's absorbing 18, launched an attack on Cell; Cell barely registered the hits until he "lightly" kicked Kuririn away, nearly killing him. Vegeta, unimpressed by the display, was eager to resume the battle, which Cell obliged. Cell merely toyed with Vegeta at the beginning, absorbing his attacks without any sign of damage; when he did strike back, the kick he delivered blew Vegeta away, smashing him into a rock formation. Vegeta then challenged Cell to take his next attack head on without dodging it and fired his ultima ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Convex cone - Salient convex cones and perfect half-spaces

A convex cone is said to be flat if it contains some nonzero vector x and its opposite -x; and salient otherwise. A blunt convex cone is necessarily salient, but the converse is not necessarily true. A convex cone C is salient if and only if C(-C) is {0}; that is, iff C does not contain any non-trivial linear subspace of V. A perfect half-space of V is defined recursively as follows: if V is zero-dimensional, then it is the set {0}, else it is any open half-space H of V ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Peter Shilton - Poland & The Perfect Save

Shilton was selected by Ramsey for the match, walking out behind captain Martin Peters to earn his 15th cap. Aside from one infamous incident, he spent pretty much all of the game watching the heroics of his opposite number Jan Tomaszewski as he kept chance after chance out of his net. Unfortunately, when the ball finally did get into the net, it was at Shilton's end, in the first moment which formed part of the whole definition of Shilton's career. Midway through the second half, Norman Hunter inexplicably trod on the ball near the touchline and Poland broke, with Grzeg ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - English verbs - Principal parts

A regular English verb has only one principal part, the infinitive or dictionary form (which is identical to the simple present tense for all persons and numbers except the third person singular). All other forms of a regular verb can be derived straightforwardly from the infinitive, for a total of four forms (e.g. exist, exists, existed, existing) English irregular verbs (except to be) have at most three principal parts: Strong verbs like write have all three distinct parts, for a total of five forms (e. g. write, writes, wrote, written, writing).

English verbs, like those in many other western European languages, have more tenses than forms; tenses beyond the ones possible with the five forms listed above are formed with auxiliary verbs, as are the passive voice forms of these verbs. Important auxiliary verbs in English include will, used to form the future tense; shall, formerly used mainly for the future tense, but now used mainly for commands and directives; be, have, and do, which are used to form the supplementary tenses of the English verb, ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Grammatical aspect - Aspect in Slavic languages

In Slavic languages there is only one type of aspectual opposition which forms two grammatical aspects: perfective and imperfective (in contrast with English which has two aspectual oppositions: perfect vs. neutral and progressive vs. nonprogressive). The aspectual distinctions exist on the lexical level - there is no unique method to form a perfective verb from a given imperfective one (or conversely). With a few exceptions each Slavic verb is either perfective or imperfective. Most verbs form strict pairs of one perfective and one i ...

Main article: Backward induction There are games that have multiple Nash equilibria, some of which are unrealistic. In the case of dynamic games, unrealistic Nash equilibria might be eliminated by applying backward induction, which assumes that future play will be rational. It therefore elimates noncredible (or incredible) threats because such threats would be irrational ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Grammatical aspect - Aspect in English

According to one prevalent account, the English tense system is considered to have strictly only two basic times (since no primitive future tense exists in English, and the futurity of an event is expressed in English through the use of the auxiliary verbs "will" and "shall", by use of a present form, as in "tomorrow we go to Newark", or by some other means). But present and past are expressed using direct modifications of the verb, which may then be modified further by the progressive aspect (also called the continuous aspect), the perfect aspect (also called the completed aspect), or both. Each tense is ...

Perfections: Encyclopedia II - Solution concept - Rationalizability & Iterated Dominance

Main article: Rationalisability In this solution concept, players are assumed to be rational and so strictly dominated strategies are eliminated from the set of strategies that might feasibly be played. A strictly dominated strategy is one for which there is a strategy that a player is always better off playing and so a rational player would never play such a strategy. (Strictly dominated strategies are also important in minimax game-tree search). For example, in the (single period) prisoners' ...
