There are at least three isomeric             modifications all having the formula {C3H6O3}. Sarcolactic             or paralactic acid occurs chiefly in dead muscle tissue,             while ordinary lactic acid results from fermentation. The             two acids are alike in having the same constitution             (expressed by the name ethylidene lactic acid), but the             latter is optically inactive, while sarcolactic acid             rotates the plane of polarization to the right.

Kingsley.          {Acetous, [or] Acetic}, {fermentation}, a form of oxidation             in which alcohol is converted into vinegar or acetic acid             by the agency of a specific fungus or ferment ({Mycoderma             aceti}). The process involves two distinct reactions, in             which the oxygen of the air is essential. An intermediate             product, aldehyde, is formed in the first process. 1.             C2H6O + O = H2O + C2H4O          Note: Alcohol. Water. Aldehyde. 2. C2H4O + O = C2H4O2          Note: Aldehyde. Acetic acid.          {Alcoholic fermentation}, the fermentation which saccharine             bodies undergo when brought in contact with the yeast             plant or Torula. The sugar is converted, either directly             or indirectly, into alcohol and carbonic acid, the rate of             action being dependent on the rapidity with which the             Torul[91] develop.          {Ammoniacal fermentation}, the conversion of the urea of the             urine into ammonium carbonate, through the growth of the             special urea ferment. CON2H4 + 2H2O = (NH4)2CO3          Note: Urea. Water. Ammonium carbonate.          Note: Whenever urine is exposed to the air in open vessels                for several days it undergoes this alkaline                fermentation.          {Butyric fermentation}, the decomposition of various forms of             organic matter, through the agency of a peculiar             worm-shaped vibrio, with formation of more or less butyric             acid. It is one of the many forms of fermentation that             collectively constitute putrefaction. See {Lactic             fermentation}.          {Fermentation by an} {unorganized ferment [or] enzyme}.             Fermentations of this class are purely chemical reactions,             in which the ferment acts as a simple catalytic agent. Of             this nature are the decomposition or inversion of cane             sugar into levulose and dextrose by boiling with dilute             acids, the conversion of starch into dextrin and sugar by             similar treatment, the conversion of starch into like             products by the action of diastase of malt or ptyalin of             saliva, the conversion of albuminous food into peptones             and other like products by the action of             pepsin-hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice or by the             ferment of the pancreatic juice.          {Fermentation theory of disease} (Biol. & Med.), the theory             that most if not all, infectious or zymotic disease are             caused by the introduction into the organism of the living             germs of ferments, or ferments already developed             (organized ferments), by which processes of fermentation             are set up injurious to health. See {Germ theory}.          {Glycerin fermentation}, the fermentation which occurs on             mixing a dilute solution of glycerin with a peculiar             species of schizomycetes and some carbonate of lime, and             other matter favorable to the growth of the plant, the             glycerin being changed into butyric acid, caproic acid,             butyl, and ethyl alcohol. With another form of bacterium             ({Bacillus subtilis}) ethyl alcohol and butyric acid are             mainly formed.          {Lactic fermentation}, the transformation of milk sugar or             other saccharine body into lactic acid, as in the souring             of milk, through the agency of a special bacterium             ({Bacterium lactis} of Lister). In this change the milk             sugar, before assuming the form of lactic acid, presumably             passes through the stage of glucose. C12H22O11.H2O =             4C3H6O3          Note: Hydrated milk sugar. Lactic acid.          Note: In the lactic fermentation of dextrose or glucose, the                lactic acid which is formed is very prone to undergo                butyric fermentation after the manner indicated in the                following equation: 2C3H6O3 (lactic acid) = C4H8O2                (butyric acid) + 2CO2 (carbonic acid) + 2H2 (hydrogen                gas).          {Putrefactive fermentation}. See {Putrefaction}.

Urea \U"re*a\, a. [NL. See {Urine}.] (Physiol. Chem.)       A very soluble crystalline body which is the chief       constituent of the urine in mammals and some other animals.       It is also present in small quantity in blood, serous fluids,       lymph, the liver, etc.          Note: It is the main product of the regressive metamorphosis                (katabolism) of proteid matter in the body, and is                excreted daily to the amount of about 500 grains by a                man of average weight. Chemically it is carbamide,                {CO(NH2)2}, and when heated with strong acids or                alkalies is decomposed into carbonic acid and ammonia.                It unites with acids to form salts, as nitrate of urea,                and it can be made synthetically from ammonium cyanate,                with which it is isomeric.          {Urea ferment}, a soluble ferment formed by certain bacteria,             which, however, yield the ferment from the body of their             cells only after they have been killed by alcohol. It             causes urea to take up water and decompose into carbonic             acid and ammonia. Many different bacteria possess this             property, especially {Bacterium ure[91]} and {Micrococcus             ure[91]}, which are found abundantly in urines undergoing             alkaline fermentation.

A penalty at beast, omber, etc. Hence: To be beasted, to             be beaten at beast, omber, etc.          {Beast royal}, the lion. [Obs.] --Chaucer.          Syn: {Beast}, {Brute}.          Usage: When we use these words in a figurative sense, as                   applicable to human beings, we think of beasts as mere                   animals governed by animal appetite; and of brutes as                   being destitute of reason or moral feeling, and                   governed by unrestrained passion. Hence we speak of                   beastly appetites; beastly indulgences, etc.; and of                   brutal manners; brutal inhumanity; brutal ferocity.                   So, also, we say of a drunkard, that he first made                   himself a beast, and then treated his family like a                   brute.

backtracking          A scheme for solving a series of sub-problems each       of which may have multiple possible solutions and where the       solution chosen for one sub-problem may affect the possible       solutions of later sub-problems.          To solve the overall problem, we find a solution to the first       sub-problem and then attempt to recursively solve the other       sub-problems based on this first solution.   If we cannot, or       we want all possible solutions, we backtrack and try the next       possible solution to the first sub-problem and so on.       Backtracking terminates when there are no more solutions to       the first sub-problem.          This is the algorithm used by {logic programming} languages       such as {Prolog} to find all possible ways of proving a       {goal}.   An optimisation known as "{intelligent backtracking}"       keeps track of the dependencies between sub-problems and only       re-solves those which depend on an earlier solution which has       changed.          Backtracking is one {algorithm} which can be used to implement       {nondeterminism}.   It is effectively a {depth-first search} of       a {problem space}.          (1995-04-13)

Bastard       In the Old Testament the rendering of the Hebrew word _mamzer'_,       which means "polluted." In Deut. 23:2, it occurs in the ordinary       sense of illegitimate offspring. In Zech. 9:6, the word is used       in the sense of foreigner. From the history of Jephthah we learn       that there were bastard offspring among the Jews (Judg. 11:1-7).       In Heb. 12:8, the word (Gr. nothoi) is used in its ordinary       sense, and denotes those who do not share the privileges of       God's children.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Box-tree       (Heb. teashshur), mentioned in Isa. 60:13; 41:19, was, according       to some, a species of cedar growing in Lebanon. The words of       Ezek. 27:6 literally translated are, "Thy benches they have made       of ivory, the daughter of the ashur tree," i.e., inlaid with       ashur wood. The ashur is the box-tree, and accordingly the       Revised Version rightly reads "inlaid in box wood." This is the       Buxus sempervirens of botanists. It is remarkable for the beauty       of its evergreen foliage and for the utility of its hard and       durable wood.
