The sixth argument against the Theory of Inevitable Compromise is the virtual impossibility in today's polarised America of shaping a consensus.
The Sentences, whose orthodoxy was established by the Lateran council of 1215, became the standard theological textbook in the medieval West and the subject of many commentaries; it thus helped to shape a nuanced consensus there too, from which disputes and disputations were not absent.
Sir Jeremy, the chairman of the committee, said the purpose of the reports was to give a "stimulant and catalyst" for shaping a global consensus.
If the Gehry-led group helps shape a sturdy new consensus about remaking the river as a civic amenity, Garcetti's gamble will have been worth it.
The analysis scales landmarks of each specimen to a common body size, rotates each individual to a common alignment, then computes the average shape of all individuals included in the analysis to create a consensus shape.
By using the generalized Procrustes analysis, it is possible to derive a consensus shape for a collection of figures [21], which is then used in registering new shapes into alignment with the collection by an Affine transformation.
The generalized Procrustes fit of the combined data set produces a consensus shape that is invariant under all the transformations in the symmetry group, that is, a completely symmetric shape.
The shape differences obtained from these landmarks will be independent of isometric shape differences [33] and will reflect a consensus configuration [32].
Briefly, tpsRelw uses a generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA) to compute a consensus shape with a minimum sum of squared Procrustes distances to other specimens wherein each specimen is individually superimposed onto the average of previous specimens until all specimens are averaged.
Its history ought to remind anyone that, however long it takes, Japan usually moves rapidly once a consensus takes shape.
