Rabbet \Rab"bet\, n. [See {Rabbet} v., and cf. {Rebate}, n.] 1. (Carp.) A longitudinal channel, groove, or recess cut out of the edge or face of any body; especially, one intended to receive another member, so as to break or cover the joint, or more easily to hold the members in place; thus, the groove cut for a panel, for a pane of glass, or for a door, is a rabbet, or rebate. 2. Same as Rabbet joint, below. {Rabbet joint} (Carp.), a joint formed by fitting together rabbeted boards or timbers: -- called also {rabbet}. {Rabbet plane}, a joiner's plane for cutting a rabbet. --Moxon. | |

Any of the smaller species of the genus Lepus, especially the common European species ({Lepus cuniculus}), which is often kept as a pet, and has been introduced into many countries. It is remarkably prolific, and has become a pest in some parts of Australia and New Zealand. Note: The common American rabbit ({L. sylvalica}) is similar but smaller. See {Cottontail}, and {Jack rabbit}, under 2d {Jack}. The larger species of Lepus are commonly called hares. See {Hare}. {Angora rabbit} (Zo[94]l.), a variety of the domestic rabbit having long, soft fur. {Rabbit burrow}, a hole in the earth made by rabbits for shelter and habitation. {Rabbit fish}. (Zo[94]l.) (a) The northern chim[91]ra ({Chim[91]ra monstrosa}). (b) Any one of several species of plectognath fishes, as the bur fish, and puffer.

Rapid Application Development designed to give faster development and better results and to take maximum advantage of recent advances in development software. RAD is associated with a wide range of approaches to software development: from hacking away in a {GUI builder} with little in the way of analysis and design to complete {methodologies} expanding on an {information engineering} framework. Some of the current RAD techniques are: {CASE} tools, {iterative life-cycles}, {prototyping}, {workshops}, {SWAT team}s, {timebox development}, and {Re-use} of applications, templates and code. {RAD at BSO/Den Haag (http://www.riv.nl/origin/company/denhaag/RAD.HTM)}.

refutable In lazy functional languages, a refutable pattern is one which may fail to match. An expression being matched against a refutable pattern is first evaluated to head normal form (which may fail to terminate) and then the top-level constructor of the result is compared with that of the pattern. If they are the same then any arguments are matched against the pattern's arguments otherwise the match fails. An irrefutable pattern is one which always matches. An attempt to evaluate any variable in the pattern forces the pattern to be matched as though it were refutable which may fail to match (resulting in an error) or fail to terminate. Patterns in Haskell are normally refutable but may be made irrefutable by prefixing them with a tilde (~). For example, (\ (x,y) -> 1) undefined ==> undefined (\ ~(x,y) -> 1) undefined ==> 1 Patterns in Miranda are refutable, except for tuples which are irrefutable. Thus g [x] = 2 g undefined ==> undefined f (x,y) = 1 f undefined ==> 1 Pattern bindings in local definitions are irrefutable in both languages: h = 1 where [x] = undefined ==> 1 Irrefutable patterns can be used to simulate unlifted products because they effectively ignore the top-level constructor of the expression being matched and consider only its components. |
