A poisonous nonmetallic element of the nitrogen             group, obtained as a white, or yellowish, translucent waxy             substance, having a characteristic disagreeable smell. It             is very active chemically, must be preserved under water,             and unites with oxygen even at ordinary temperatures,             giving a faint glow, -- whence its name. It always occurs             compined, usually in phosphates, as in the mineral             apatite, in bones, etc. It is used in the composition on             the tips of friction matches, and for many other purposes.             The molecule contains four atoms. Symbol P. Atomic weight             31.0.          3. (Chem.) Hence, any substance which shines in the dark like             phosphorus, as certain phosphorescent bodies.          {Bologna phosphorus} (Chem.), sulphide of barium, which             shines in the dark after exposure to light; -- so called             because this property was discovered by a resident of             Bologna.

It is             not poisonous, is not phosphorescent, and is only             moderately active chemically. It is valuable as a chemical             reagent, and is used in the composition of the friction             surface on which safety matches are ignited.          {Solar phosphori} (Chem.), phosphorescent substances which             shine in the dark after exposure to the sunlight or other             intense light.

See                {Centigrade}, {Fahrenheit}, and {R[82]aumur}. To reduce                degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Centigrade, substract                32[f8] and multiply by [frac59]; to reduce degrees                Centigrade to degrees Fahrenheit, multiply by [frac95]                and add 32[f8].          {Air thermometer}, {Balance thermometer}, etc. See under             {Air}, {Balance}, etc.          {Metallic thermometer}, a form of thermometer indicating             changes of temperature by the expansion or contraction of             rods or strips of metal.          {Register thermometer}, [or] {Self-registering thermometer},             a thermometer that registers the maximum and minimum of             temperature occurring in the interval of time between two             consecutive settings of the instrument. A common form             contains a bit of steel wire to be pushed before the             column and left at the point of maximum temperature, or a             slide of enamel, which is drawn back by the liquid, and             left within it at the point of minimum temperature.

modal logic          An extension of {propositional calculus} with operators that       express various "modes" of truth.   Examples of modes are:       necessarily A, possibly A, probably A, it has always been true       that A, it is permissible that A, it is believed that A.          "It is necessarily true that A" means that things being as       they are, A must be true, e.g.          "It is necessarily true that x=x" is TRUE          while          "It is necessarily true that x=y" is FALSE          even though "x=y" might be TRUE.          Adding modal operators [F] and [P], meaning, respectively,       henceforth and hitherto leads to a "{temporal logic}".          Flavours of modal logics include: {Propositional Dynamic       Logic} (PDL), {Propositional Linear Temporal Logic} (PLTL),       {Linear Temporal Logic} (LTL), {Computational Tree Logic}       (CTL), {Hennessy-Milner Logic}, S1-S5, T.          C.I. Lewis, "A Survey of Symbolic Logic", 1918, initiated the       modern analysis of modality.   He developed the logical systems       S1-S5.   JCC McKinsey used algebraic methods ({Boolean       algebra}s with operators) to prove the decidability of Lewis'       S2 and S4 in 1941.   Saul Kripke developed the {relational       semantics} for modal logics (1959, 1963).   Vaughan Pratt       introduced {dynamic logic} in 1976.   Amir Pnuelli proposed the       use of temporal logic to formalise the behaviour of       continually operating {concurrent} programs in 1977.          [Robert Goldblatt, "Logics of Time and Computation", CSLI       Lecture Notes No. 7, Centre for the Study of Language and       Information, Stanford University, Second Edition, 1992,       (distributed by University of Chicago Press)].          [Robert Goldblatt, "Mathematics of Modality", CSLI Lecture       Notes No. 43, Centre for the Study of Language and       Information, Stanford University, 1993, (distributed by       University of Chicago Press)].          [G.E.

model checking          To algorithmically check whether       a program (the model) satisfies a specification.          The model is usually expressed as a {directed graph}       consisting of {nodes} (or {vertices}) and {edges}.   A set of       {atomic propositions} is associated with each node.   The nodes       represents states of a program, the edges represent possible       executions which alters the state, while the atomic       propositions represent the basic properties that hold at a       point of execution.          A specification language, usually some kind of {temporal       logic}, is used to express properties.          The problem can be expressed mathematically as: given a       temporal logic formula p and a model M with initial state s,       decide if M,s \models p.          ["Automatic verification of finite state concurrent systems       using temporal logic", E.M.
