Fault \Fault\, n. 1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the circuit. 2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated structure resulting from such slipping. Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have moved is called the {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the present relative position of the two masses could have been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane, of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up relatively, the fault is then called a {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust}, {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault is then called a {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation measured on the fault plane and in the direction of movement is the {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the fault plane with a horizontal plane is the {trend} of the fault. A fault is a {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal plane); it is a {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike; an {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike. Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel faults are sometimes called {step faults} and sometimes {distributive faults}. | |

Fault \Fault\, n. 1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the circuit. 2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated structure resulting from such slipping. Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have moved is called the {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the present relative position of the two masses could have been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane, of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up relatively, the fault is then called a {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust}, {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault is then called a {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation measured on the fault plane and in the direction of movement is the {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the fault plane with a horizontal plane is the {trend} of the fault. A fault is a {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal plane); it is a {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike; an {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike. Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel faults are sometimes called {step faults} and sometimes {distributive faults}. | |

heap 1. allocation} where blocks of memory are allocated and freed in an arbitrary order and the pattern of allocation and size of blocks is not known until {run time}. Typically, a program has one heap which it may use for several different purposes. Heap is required by languages in which functions can return arbitrary data structures or functions with {free variables} (see {closure}). In {C} functions {malloc} and {free} provide access to the heap. Contrast {stack}. See also {dangling pointer}. 2. ordered (sorted) such that finding either the minimum or the maximum (but not both) of the elements is computationally inexpensive (independent of the number of elements), while both adding a new item and finding each subsequent smallest/largest element can be done in O(log n) time, where n is the number of elements. Formally, a heap is a {binary tree} with a key in each {node}, such that all the {leaves} of the tree are on two adjacent levels; all leaves on the lowest level occur to the left and all levels, except possibly the lowest, are filled; and the key in the {root} is at least as large as the keys in its children (if any), and the left and right subtrees (if they exist) are again heaps. Note that the last condition assumes that the goal is finding the minimum quickly. Heaps are often implemented as one-dimensional {arrays}. Still assuming that the goal is finding the minimum quickly the {invariant} is heap[i] <= heap[2*i] and heap[i] <= heap[2*i+1] for all i, where heap[i] denotes the i-th element, heap[1] being the first. Heaps can be used to implement {priority queues} or in {sort} algorithms. (1996-02-26) | |

hub connected to several other devices. In {ARCnet}, a hub is used to connect several computers together. In a message handling service, a number of local computers might exchange messages solely with a hub computer. The hub would be responsible for exchanging messages with other hubs and non-local computers. (1995-01-16) | |

Heap When Joshua took the city of Ai (Josh. 8), he burned it and "made it an heap [Heb. tel] for ever" (8:28). The ruins of this city were for a long time sought for in vain. It has been at length, however, identified with the mound which simply bears the name of "Tel." "There are many Tels in modern Palestine, that land of Tels, each Tel with some other name attached to it to mark the former site. But the site of Ai has no other name 'unto this day.' It is simply et-Tel, 'the heap' par excellence." | |

Hoof a cleft hoof as of neat cattle (Ex. 10:26; Ezek. 32:13); hence also of the horse, though not cloven (Isa. 5:28). The "parting of the hoof" is one of the distinctions between clean and unclean animals (Lev. 11:3; Deut. 14:7). | |

Hope one of the three main elements of Christian character (1 Cor. 13:13). It is joined to faith and love, and is opposed to seeing or possessing (Rom. 8:24; 1 John 3:2). "Hope is an essential and fundamental element of Christian life, so essential indeed, that, like faith and love, it can itself designate the essence of Christianity (1 Pet. 3:15; Heb. 10:23). In it the whole glory of the Christian vocation is centred (Eph. 1:18; 4:4)." Unbelievers are without this hope (Eph. 2:12; 1 Thess. 4:13). Christ is the actual object of the believer's hope, because it is in his second coming that the hope of glory will be fulfilled (1 Tim. 1:1; Col. 1:27; Titus 2:13). It is spoken of as "lively", i.e., a living, hope, a hope not frail and perishable, but having a perennial life (1 Pet. 1:3). In Rom. 5:2 the "hope" spoken of is probably objective, i.e., "the hope set before us," namely, eternal life (comp. 12:12). In 1 John 3:3 the expression "hope in him" ought rather to be, as in the Revised Version, "hope on him," i.e., a hope based on God. | |
