- Altruism -- English
Altruism is selfless concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures, and central to many religious traditions. In English, this idea was often described as the Golden rule of ethics. Some newer philosophies such as egoism have criticized the concept, with philosophers arguing that there is no moral obligation to help others. - Ontology -- So Cvs
The Gene Ontology is a collection of terms used to describe gene products. It is divided into three aspects, cellular location, biological process and molecular function. A gene product may be described by one or more terms from each of the aspects. The characterization of gene products in this way enhances many large scale analyses. The Sequence Ontology ... is used to catalog the features and properties of biological sequence, and how these features relate to each other. It captures the subclass hierarchy of these features, the meronomies, that is what features are parts of other features, and also topological relationships like adjacent_to. Using SO and GO together to catalogue the kinds of gene products and the features of the sequence will mean that queries such as “Give me the 3’UTR sequence of all transcription factors in the X pathway” will be trivial. - Harpoon -- Models
From this operational definition of a flow, Harpoon's architecture begins with the notion of unicast file transfers using either TCP or UDP. Harpoon does not address the packet level dynamics of TCP file transfers. Rather, it relies on the version(s) of TCP running on end hosts to transfer the requested file. Modeling UDP traffic is complicated by the fact that packet emission behaviors are largely application-specific. At present, Harpoon contains three models of UDP packet transfer: a simple parameterized constant packet rate, a fixed-interval periodic ping-pong, and an exponentially distributed ping-pong. The first source type is similar to some audio and video streams, while the latter two types are intended to mimic the standard Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Domain Name Service (DNS), respectively. - Roman Architecture -- Book
The best information about the Roman architecture will come from Vitruvius. Vitruvius was a Roman Architect, who wrote a handbook for architects. He describes in his book "Handbook architecture" what it takes to be an architect. He ... describe in his book what kind of materials an architect must use and on which point a architect must know something about and lots more is explained in his book. - Tartarus -- Region
Tartarus is the lowest region of the world, as far below earth as earth is from heaven. According to the Greek poet Hesiod, a bronze anvil falling from heaven would take nine days and nights to reach earth, and an object would take the same amount of time to fall from earth into Tartarus. Tartarus is described as a dank, gloomy pit, surrounded by a wall of bronze, and beyond that a three-fold layer of night. Along with Chaos, Earth, and Eros, it is one of the first entities to exist in the universe. - Fundamentalism -- Term
Fundamentalism is a term popularly used to describe strict adherence to Christian doctrines based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. This usage derives from a late 19th and early 20th century transdenominational Protestant movement that opposed the accommodation of Christian doctrine to modern scientific theory and philosophy. With some differences among themselves, fundamentalists insist on belief in the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth and divinity of Jesus Christ, the vicarious and atoning character of his death, his bodily resurrection, and his second coming as the irreducible minimum of authentic Christianity. This minimum was reflected in such early declarations as the 14 point creed of the Niagara Bible Conference of 1878 and the 5 point statement of the Presbyterian General Assembly of 1910. - Informix -- Data
