Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G. gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. & OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.] 1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7. Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity. It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks. It also occurs associated with other metallic substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite, sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use, and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which is used as a toning agent in photography. 2. Money; riches; wealth. For me, the gold of France did not seduce. --Shak. 3. A yellow color, like that of the metal; as, a flower tipped with gold. 4. Figuratively, something precious or pure; as, hearts of gold. --Shak. {Age of gold}.

See {Cloth of gold}, under {Cloth}. {Gold Coast}, a part of the coast of Guinea, in West Africa. {Gold cradle}. (Mining) See {Cradle}, n., 7. {Gold diggings}, the places, or region, where gold is found by digging in sand and gravel from which it is separated by washing. {Gold end}, a fragment of broken gold or jewelry. {Gold-end man}. (a) A buyer of old gold or jewelry. (b) A goldsmith's apprentice. (c) An itinerant jeweler. [bd]I know him not: he looks like a gold-end man.[b8] --B. Jonson. {Gold fever}, a popular mania for gold hunting. {Gold field}, a region in which are deposits of gold. {Gold finder}. (a) One who finds gold. (b) One who empties privies. [Obs. & Low] --Swift. {Gold flower}, a composite plant with dry and persistent yellow radiating involucral scales, the {Helichrysum St[d2]chas} of Southern Europe.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
knapsack problem cost and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total cost is less than some given cost and the total value is as large as possible. The 0/1 knapsack problem restricts the number of each items to zero or one. Such {constraint satisfaction} problems are often solved using {dynamic programming}. The general knapsack problem is {NP-hard}, and this has led to attempts to use it as the basis for {public-key encryption} systems. Several such attempts failed because the knapsack problems they produced were in fact solvable by {polynomial-time algorithms}. [Are there any trusted knapsack-based public-key cryptosystems?].
