Note that, in automatically synthesizing analog electrical circuits composed of transistors, resistors, and capacitors, genetic programming uses only a de minimus amount of platitudinous knowledge about analog circuits.
I do not know how to define the word "substantial"; but something other than de minimus must be involved.
Thirdly, there is no de minimus provision, which provides that a small number of failures will not amount to a rule breach.
I know that that is an absurd instance, but the doctrine of de minimus seems to be a very dangerous one.
I dare say that later on we shall have a minimus drainage board.
This is on the de minimus point.
We also believe that there should be a de minimus provision for minor infringements, for petty transgressions: the authorities should not come down too hard in such cases.
Hip abduction is performed primarily by the hip abductors (gluteus medius and minimus).
