Date "Definitions" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1509. (references) |
| Expressions | Definition | ||
| Definitions of capitalism | Capitalism is an economic system in which the capital is owned either by individuals or corporations. In such a system, the amount and type of development is typically limited by activities which support the accumulation and reinvestment of profits. (references) | ||
| Definitions of Palestine and Palestinian | The term Palestine and the related term Palestinian have several overlapping (and occasionally contradictory) definitions. (references) | ||
| Glossary of anatomical terminology, definitions and abbreviations | It is frequent represent the complex 3-D organisation of the CNS through slices, which is called the stereotactic approach (stereo from solid object and tactic from tactus, touch). The most common orientation for slices are Axial, a horizontal slice, Coronal, a vertical slice that can show both ears, and Parasagital, a vertical slice that can show from the nose to the back of the head. A Sagital slice is the slice that divides the head in two equal left and right sides. A Parasagital slice is then any slice parallel to the Sagital slice. (references) | ||
| Rally principles and definitions | A rally involves driving a vehicle between a series of control points against the clock. Each vehicle traverses the course independently, and no direct head-to-head racing takes place. The team or driver with the fastest time over the correct course is the winner. (references) | ||
| Reaching definitions | In compiler theory, reaching definitions is a data-flow analysis which statically determines which definitions may reach a given point in the code. Because of its simplicity, it is often used as the canonical example of a data-flow analysis in textbooks. The data-flow confluence operator used is set union, and the analysis is forward flow. Reaching definitions are used to compute use-def chains and def-use chains. (references) | ||

| Open systems interconnection (OSI)--service definitions | Business | The next lower level of abstraction below that of the OSI--Reference Model. The OSI--Service Definitions for each layer define the layer's abstract interface and the facilities provided to the user of the service independent of the mechanism used to accomplish the service. (references) | |
| Operational definitions | Aerospace | In an experiment, a description of how the investigator has decided to measure a variable. (references) | |
| Variable definitions | Environment | TAO buoys measure oceanographic and surface meteorological parameters. Related data sets from other sources are displayed for comparison with TAO buoy data. Data is from instruments on the TAO buoys unless otherwise noted. 1) Wind: Vectors showing the speed and direction of winds at four meters above the sea surface, measured by the TAO buoys. The arrow head shows the direction the wind is blowing towards, and the length of the vector indicates the strength of the wind speed; 2) UWND: TAO buoys measure the wind speed and direction four meters above the sea surface. UWND is the East-West component, also referred to as the U or zonal component of the wind. If it is positive, the East-West component of the wind is blowing towards the East. If it is negative, this component is blowing towards the West; 3) VWND: TAO buoys measure the wind speed and direction four meters above the sea surface. VWND is the North-South component of the wind, also referred to as the V or meridional component of the wind. If it is positive, the North-South component of the wind is blowing towards the North. If it is negative, this component is blowing towards the South; 4) WSPD: Scalar wind speed computed from hourly or daily data using the relation wspd = sqrt (uwnd^2 + vwnd^2); 5) WDIR: Wind Direction in degrees clockwise from North computed from hourly or daily data using the relation wdir = (180 / 3.14) * arctan (uwnd / vwnd); 6) RH: Relative Humidity, measured by the TAO buoys 3 meters above the sea surface; 7) AIRT: Air temperature, measured by the TAO buoys three meters above the sea surface; 8) SST: Sea surface temperature, measured by the TAO buoys at one meter below the surface; 9) T1, T2,...., T10: Subsurface temperatures, measured by the TAO buoys; 10) Isotherms: Surfaces of constant temperature within the ocean, or lines of constant temperature on a time-depth plot, a depth-longitude plot, or a latitude depth plot; 11) Z20: Depth of the twenty degree isotherm determined by linearly interpolating the depth vs temperature profile. This is the depth in the ocean of water with temperature twenty degrees Centigrade; 12) TZ-AVE: Depth Averaged Temperature, measured by the TAO buoys from the surface to 300m depth; 13) DYN: Dynamic Height. This is a measure of the elevation of the sea level (without the ocean waves), calculated by integrating the specific volume anomaly of the sea water between the sea surface and 500 m depth; 14) Heat: Heat content of the upper layers of the ocean, from the surface to 300 meters; 15) Current: Velocity of Ocean Currents as measured by mechanical current meters; 16) ADCP: Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles. Velocity profile of ocean currents measured using doppler shifts; 17) Transport: Volume of ocean water moving through an imaginary surface per second. Often computed as a transport per unit width from a single buoy by integrating the ocean currents over a range of depth in the upper ocean; 18) COARE: Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment. Conducted in the West Pacific in the early 1990's, including TAO buoys located at 0143E, 0154E, 0158E, 0161E, 0170E; 19) TOPEX: Sea level height variation (without the ocean waves) measured by the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter. 20) NMC: Data output from an operational analyses computer model being run by the National Center for Environmental Prediction (formerly the National Meteorological Center); 21) Surface Met: Meteorological data from the sea surface including SST, AIRT, winds, RH, precipitation and shortwave radiation; 22) Ocean Measured: Data directly from ocean sensors such as thermisters and current meters; and 23) Ocean Derived: Data computed from ocean sensor data, such as heat content, dynamic height, 20 C isotherm depth, and transports.
