Solution \So*lu"tion\ (s[osl]*l[umac]"sh[ucr]n), n. [OE.       solucion, OF. solucion, F. solution, fr. L. solutio, fr.       solvere, solutum, to loosen, dissolve. See {Solve}.]       1. The act of separating the parts of any body, or the             condition of undergoing a separation of parts; disruption;             breach.                         In all bodies there is an appetite of union and                      evitation of solution of continuity.   --Bacon.          2. The act of solving, or the state of being solved; the             disentanglement of any intricate problem or difficult             question; explanation; clearing up; -- used especially in             mathematics, either of the process of solving an equation             or problem, or the result of the process.          3. The state of being dissolved or disintegrated; resolution;             disintegration.                         It is unquestionably an enterprise of more promise                      to assail the nations in their hour of faintness and                      solution, than at a time when magnificent and                      seductive systems of worship were at their height of                      energy and splendor.                           --I. Taylor.          4. (Chem.Phys.) The act or process by which a body (whether             solid, liquid, or gaseous) is absorbed into a liquid, and,             remaining or becoming fluid, is diffused throughout the             solvent; also, the product reulting from such absorption.          Note: When a solvent will not take in any more of a substance                the solution is said to be saturated. Solution is two                kinds; viz.: (a) {Mechanical solution}, in which no                marked chemical change takes place, and in which, in                the case of solids, the dissolved body can be regained                by evaporation, as in the solution of salt or sugar in                water. (b) {Chemical solution}, in which there is                involved a decided chemical change, as when limestone                or zinc undergoes solution in hydrochloric acid.                {Mechanical solution} is regarded as a form of                molecular or atomic attraction, and is probably                occasioned by the formation of certain very weak and                unstable compounds which are easily dissociated and                pass into new and similar compounds.          Note: This word is not used in chemistry or mineralogy for                fusion, or the melting of bodies by the heat of fire.          5. release; deliverance; discharge. [Obs.] --Barrow.          6. (Med.)             (a) The termination of a disease; resolution.             (b) A crisis.             (c) A liquid medicine or preparation (usually aqueous) in                   which the solid ingredients are wholly soluble. --U.                   S. Disp.          {Fehling's solution} (Chem.), a standardized solution of             cupric hydrate in sodium potassium tartrate, used as a             means of determining the reducing power of certain sugars             and sirups by the amount of red cuprous oxide thrown down.                      {Heavy solution} (Min.), a liquid of high density, as a             solution of mercuric iodide in potassium iodide (called             the Sonstadt or Thoulet solution) having a maximum             specific gravity of 3.2, or of borotungstate of cadium             (Klein solution, specific gravity 3.6), and the like. Such             solutions are much used in determining the specific             gravities of minerals, and in separating them when             mechanically mixed as in a pulverized rock.          {Nessler's solution}. See {Nesslerize}.          {Solution of continuity}, the separation of connection, or of             connected substances or parts; -- applied, in surgery, to             a fracture, laceration, or the like. [bd]As in the natural             body a wound, or solution of continuity, is worse than a             corrupt humor, so in the spiritual.[b8] --Bacon.          {Standardized solution} (Chem.), a solution which is used as             a reagent, and is of a known and standard strength;             specifically, a normal solution, containing in each cubic             centimeter as many milligrams of the element in question             as the number representing its atomic weight; thus, a             normal solution of silver nitrate would contain 107.7 mgr.             of silver nitrate in each cubic centimeter.

Natural orders are                groups of genera agreeing in the fundamental plan of                their flowers and fruit. A natural order is usually (in                botany) equivalent to a family, and may include several                tribes.          13. (Rhet.)

standard deviation          (SD) A measure of the range of values in a set of       numbers.   Standard deviation is a statistic used as a measure       of the dispersion or variation in a distribution, equal to the       square root of the {arithmetic mean} of the squares of the       deviations from the arithmetic mean.          The standard deviation of a random variable or list of numbers       (the lowercase greek sigma) is the square of the {variance}.       The standard deviation of the list x1, x2, x3...xn is given by       the formula:             sigma = sqrt(((x1-(avg(x)))^2 + (x1-(avg(x)))^2 +                            ...   + (xn(avg(x)))^2)/n)          The formula is used when all of the values in the population       are known.   If the values x1...xn are a random sample chosen       from the population, then the sample Standard Deviation is       calculated with same formula, except that (n-1) is used as the       {denominator}.          [{dictionary.com (http://dictionary.com/)}].          ["Barrons Dictionary of Mathematical Terms, second edition"].          (2003-05-06)

Standard Generalised Markup Language          {ISO} spell it "{Standard Generalized Markup       Language}".          (1996-12-13)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Standard Generalized Markup Language          (SGML) A generic {markup} language for       representing documents.   SGML is an International Standard       that describes the relationship between a document's content       and its structure.   SGML allows document-based information to       be shared and re-used across applications and computer       {platforms} in an open, vendor-neutral format.   SGML is       sometimes compared to {SQL}, in that it enables companies to       structure information in documents in an open fashion, so that       it can be accessed or re-used by any SGML-aware application       across multiple platforms.          SGML is defined in "ISO 8879:1986 Information processing --       Text and office systems -- Standard Generalized Markup       Language (SGML)", an {ISO} standard produced by {JTC} 1/SC 18       and amended by "Amendment 1:1988".          Unlike other common document file formats that represent both       content and presentation, SGML represents a document's content       {data} and structure (interrelationships among the data).       Removing the presentation from content establishes a neutral       format.   SGML documents and the information in them can easily       be re-used by publishing and non-publishing {applications}.          SGML identifies document elements such as titles, paragraphs,       tables, and chapters as distinct objects, allowing users to       define the relationships between the objects for structuring       data in documents.   The relationships between document       elements are defined in a {Document Type Definition} (DTD).       This is roughly analogous to a collection of {field}       definitions in a {database}.   Once a document is converted       into SGML and the information has been 'tagged', it becomes a       database-like document.   It can be searched, printed or even       programmatically manipulated by SGML-aware applications.          Companies are moving their documents into SGML for several       reasons:          Reuse - separation of content from presentation facilitates       multiple delivery formats like {CD-ROM} and {electronic       publishing}.          Portability - SGML is an international, platform-independent,       standard based on {ASCII} text, so companies can safely store       their documents in SGML without being tied to any one vendor.          Interchange - SGML is a core data standard that enables       SGML-aware applications to inter-operate and share data       seamlessly.          A central SGML document store can feed multiple processes in a       company, so managing and updating information is greatly       simplified.   For example, when an aeroplane is delivered to a       customer, it comes with thousands of pages of documentation.       Distributing these on paper is expensive, so companies are       investigating publishing on CD-ROM.   If a maintenance person       needs a guide for adjusting a plane's flight surfaces, a       viewing tool automatically assembles the relevant information       from the document {repository} as a complete document.   SGML       can be used to define attributes to information stored in       documents such as security levels.          There are few clear leaders in the SGML industry which, in       1993, was estimated to be worth US $520 million and is       projected to grow to over US $1.46 billion by 1998.          A wide variety tools can be used to create SGML systems.   The       SGML industry can be separated into the following categories:          Mainstream Authoring consists of the key {word processing}       vendors like {Lotus}, {WordPerfect} and {Microsoft}.          SGML Editing and Publishing includes traditional SGML       authoring tools like {ArborText}, {Interleaf}, {FrameBuilder}       and {SoftQuad Author}/Editor.          SGML Conversions is one of the largest sectors in the market       today because many companies are converting legacy data from       mainframes, or documents created with mainstream word       processors, into SGML.          Electronic Delivery is widely regarded as the most compelling       reason companies are moving to SGML.   Electronic delivery       enables users to retrieve information on-line using an       intelligent document viewer.          Document Management may one day drive a major part of the       overall SGML industry.          SGML Document Repositories is one of the cornerstone       technologies that will affect the progress of SGML as a data       standard.          Since 1998, almost all development in SGML has been focussed       on {XML} - a simple (and therefore easier to understand and       implement) subset of SGML.          {"ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 1//EN"       (http://www.ucc.ie/info/net/isolat1.html)} defines some       characters.   [How are these related to {ISO 8859}-1?].          {ISO catalogue entry (http://www.iso.ch/cate/d16387.html)}.          SGML parsers are available from       {VU, NL (ftp://star.cs.vu.nl/Sgml)},       {FSU (ftp://mailer.cc.fsu.edu/pub/sgml)},       {UIO, Norway (ftp://ifi.uio.no/pub/SGML/SGMLS)}.          See also {sgmls}.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.text.sgml}.          ["The SGML Handbook", Charles F.

standard input/output          The predefined input/output       channels which every {Unix} process is initialised with.       Standard input is by default from the terminal, and standard       output and standard error are to the terminal.   Each of these       channels (controlled via a {file descriptor} 0, 1, or 2 -       stdin, stdout, stderr) can be redirected to a file, another       device or a {pipe} connecting its process to another process.       The process is normally unaware of such {I/O redirection},       thus simplifying prototyping of combinations of commands.          The {C} programming language library includes routines to       perform basic operations on standard I/O.   Examples are       "printf", allowing text to be sent to standard output, and       "scanf", allowing the program to read from standard input.          (1996-06-07)

B. MacQueen, Lal       George , and J. H. Reppy       at AT&T, and A. W. Appel       .          SML is {functional}, with {imperative} features.   It is       environment based and {strict}.   It adds to ML the       {call-by-pattern} of {Hope}, {recursive data type}s,       {reference type}s, typed {exception}s, and {module}s.   (The       "core" language excludes the modules).          Standard ML is {polymorphic}ally typed and its module system       supports flexible yet secure large-scale programming.       {Standard ML of New Jersey} is an optimising {native-code       compiler} for Standard ML that is written in Standard ML.   It       runs on a wide range of architectures. The distribution also       contains: an extensive library - The Standard ML of New Jersey       Library, including detailed documentation; {Concurrent ML}       (CML); {eXene} - an elegant interface to {X11} (based on       {CML}); {SourceGroup} - a {separate compilation} and "{make}"       facility.          Implementations: {SML/NJ}, {POPLOG ML}, {Poly/ML}, {Edinburgh       SML}, {ANU ML}, {Micro ML}, {lazy sml2c}.          {sml2c} compiles to {C}.   See also {ML Kit}.          Version 0.93 runs on {68000}, {SPARC}, {MIPS}, {HPPA},       {RS/6000}, {Intel 386}, {Intel 486} and {Macintosh}.          {Manual       (http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/course-notes/sml/manual.html)}.          {FTP from ATT (ftp://research.att.com/dist/ml/)}.       {FTP from Suny SB (ftp://sbcs.sunysb.edu/)}.          Mailing list: sml-request@cs.cmu.edu.          ["A Proposal for Standard ML", R.

standard semantics          The standard interpretation of a term in some language yields       the term's standard denotational semantics, i.e. its "meaning".       This is usually given by a semantic function which maps a term       in the abstract syntax to a point in some domain.   The domain       is the interpretation of the term's type.   The semantic       function also takes an environment - a function which maps the       free variables of the term to their meaning.   We say that a       domain point "denotes", or "is the denotation of", a term.   A       non-standard semantics results from some other interpretation,       e.g. an abstract interpretation.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sodomites       those who imitated the licentious wickedness of Sodom (Deut.       23:17; 1 Kings 14:24; Rom. 1:26, 27). Asa destroyed them "out of       the land" (1 Kings 15:12), as did also his son Jehoshaphat       (22:46).
