A power in nature, a manifestation of energy, exhibiting             itself when in disturbed equilibrium or in activity by a             circuit movement, the fact of direction in which involves             polarity, or opposition of properties in opposite             directions; also, by attraction for many substances, by a             law involving attraction between surfaces of unlike             polarity, and repulsion between those of like; by             exhibiting accumulated polar tension when the circuit is             broken; and by producing heat, light, concussion, and             often chemical changes when the circuit passes between the             poles or through any imperfectly conducting substance or             space. It is generally brought into action by any             disturbance of molecular equilibrium, whether from a             chemical, physical, or mechanical, cause.          Note: Electricity is manifested under following different                forms: (a)          {Statical electricity}, called also          {Frictional [or] Common}, {electricity}, electricity in the             condition of a stationary charge, in which the disturbance             is produced by friction, as of glass, amber, etc., or by             induction.

(d)          {Atmospheric electricity}, any condition of electrical             disturbance in the atmosphere or clouds, due to some or             all of the above mentioned causes. (e)          {Magnetic electricity}, electricity developed by the action             of magnets. (f)          {Positive electricity}, the electricity that appears at the             positive pole or anode of a battery, or that is produced             by friction of glass; -- called also {vitreous             electricity}.

Dining Philosophers Problem          (DPP) A problem introduced by {Dijkstra} concerning       resource allocation between processes.   The DPP is a model and       universal method for testing and comparing theories on       resource allocation.   Dijkstra hoped to use it to help create       a layered {operating system}, by creating a machine which       could be consider to be an entirely {deterministic}       {automaton}.          The problem consists of a finite set of processes which share       a finite set of resources, each of which can be used by only       one process at a time, thus leading to potential {deadlock}.          The DPP visualises this as a number of philosophers sitting       round a dining table with a fork between each adjacent pair.       Each philosopher may arbitrarily decide to use either the fork       to his left or the one to his right but each fork may only be       used by one philosopher at a time.          Several potential solutions have been considered.          Semaphores - a simple, but unfair solution where each       resources is a {binary semaphore} and additional semaphores       are used to avoid deadlock and/or {starvation}.          Critical Regions - each processor is protected from       interference while it exclusively uses a resource.          Monitors - the process waits until all required resources are       available then grabs all of them for use.          The best solution allows the maximum parallelism for any       number of processes (philosophers), by using an array to track       the process' current state (i.e. hungry, eating, thinking).       This solution maintains an array of semaphores, so hungry       philosophers trying to acquire resources can block if the       needed forks are busy.          (1998-08-09)

dynamic binding          The property of {object-oriented programming} languages where       the code executed to perform a given operation is determined       at {run time} from the {class} of the operand(s) (the receiver       of the message).   There may be several different classes of       objects which can receive a given message.   An expression may       denote an object which may have more than one possible class       and that class can only be determined at run time.   New       classes may be created that can receive a particular message,       without changing (or recompiling) the code which sends the       message.   An class may be created that can receive any set of       existing messages.          {C++} implements dynamic binding using "{virtual member       function}s".          One important reason for having dynamic binding is that it       provides a mechanism for selecting between alternatives which       is arguably more robust than explicit selection by       conditionals or {pattern matching}.   When a new {subclass} is       added, or an existing subclass changes, the necessary       modifications are localised: you don't have incomplete       conditionals and broken patterns scattered all over the       program.          See {overloading}.

dynamic RAM          {dynamic random access memory}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
dynamic random access memory          (DRAM) A type of {semiconductor} memory in which the       information is stored in {capacitors} on a {MOS} {integrated       circuit}.   Typically each {bit} is stored as an amount of       electrical charge in a storage cell consisting of a capacitor       and a {transistor}.   Due to leakage the capacitor discharges       gradually and the memory cell loses the information.       Therefore, to preserve the information, the memory has to be       refreshed periodically.   Despite this inconvenience, the DRAM       is a very popular memory technology because of its high       density and consequent low price.          The first commercially available DRAM chip was the {Intel       1103}, introduced in 1970.          The early DRAM chips up to a 16k x 1 (16384 locations of one       bit each) model needed 3 supply voltages (+5V, -5V and +12V).       Beginning with the 64 kilobit chips, {charge pumps} were       included on-chip to create the necessary supply voltages out       of a single +5V supply.   This was necessary to fit the device       into a 16-pin {DIL} package, which was the preferred package       at the time, and also made them easier to use.          To reduce the pin count, thereby helping miniaturisation,       DRAMs generally had a single data line which meant that a       computer with an N bit wide {data bus} needed a "bank" of (at       least) N DRAM chips.   In a bank, the address and control       signals of all chips were common and the data line of each       chip was connected to one of the data bus lines.          Beginning with the 256 kilobit DRAM, a tendency toward       {surface mount} packaging arose and DRAMs with more than one       data line appeared (e.g. 64k x 4), reducing the number of       chips per bank.   This trend has continued and DRAM chips with       up to 36 data lines are available today.   Furthermore,       together with surface mount packages, memory manufacturers       began to offer memory modules, where a bank of memory chips       was preassembled on a little {printed circuit} board (SIP =       Single Inline Pin Module, SIMM = Single Inline Memory Module,       DIMM = Dual Inline Memory Module).   Today, this is the       preferred way to buy memory for {workstations} and {personal       computers}.          DRAM bit cells are arranged on a chip in a grid of rows and       columns where the number of rows and columns are usually a       power of two.   Often, but not always, the number of rows and       columns is the same.   A one megabit device would then have       1024 x 1024 memory cells.   A single memory cell can be       selected by a 10-bit row address and a 10-bit column address.          To access a memory cell, one entire row of cells is selected       and its contents are transferred into an on-chip buffer.   This       discharges the storage capacitors in the bit cells.   The       desired bits are then read or written in the buffer.   The       (possibly altered) information is finally written back into       the selected row, thereby refreshing all bits (recharging the       capacitors) in the row.          To prevent data loss, all bit cells in the memory need to be       refreshed periodically.   This can be done by reading all rows       in regular intervals.   Most DRAMs since 1970 have been       specified such that one of the rows needs to be refreshed at       least every 15.625 microseconds.   For a device with 1024 rows,       a complete refresh of all rows would then take up to 16 ms; in       other words, each cell is guaranteed to hold the data for 16       ms without refresh.   Devices with more rows have accordingly       longer retention times.          Many varieties of DRAM exist today.   They differ in the way       they are interfaced to the system - the structure of the       memory cell itself is essentially the same.          "Traditional" DRAMs have multiplexed address lines and       separate data inputs and outputs.   There are three control       signals: RAS\ (row address strobe), CAS\ (column address       strobe), and WE\ (write enable) (the backslash indicates an       {active low} signal).   Memory access procedes as follows:       1. The control signals initially all being inactive (high), a       memory cycle is started with the row address applied to the       address inputs and a falling edge of RAS\ .   This latches the       row address and "opens" the row, transferring the data in the       row to the buffer.   The row address can then be removed from       the address inputs since it is latched on-chip.   2. With RAS\       still active, the column address is applied to the address       pins and CAS\ is made active as well.   This selects the       desired bit or bits in the row which subsequently appear at       the data output(s).   By additionally activating WE\ the data       applied to the data inputs can be written into the selected       location in the buffer.   3. Deactivating CAS\ disables the       data input and output again.   4. Deactivating RAS\ causes the       data in the buffer to be written back into the memory array.          Certain timing rules must be obeyed to guarantee reliable       operation.   1. RAS\ must remain inactivate for a while before       the next memory cycle is started to provide sufficient time       for the storage capacitors to charge (Precharge Time).   2. It       takes some time from the falling edge of the RAS\ or CAS\       signals until the data appears at the data output.   This is       specified as the Row Access Time and the Column Access Time.       Current DRAM's have Row Access Times of 50-100 ns and Column       Access Times of 15-40 ns.   Speed grades usually refer to the       former, more important figure.          Note that the Memory Cycle Time, which is the minimum time       from the beginning of one access to the beginning of the next,       is longer than the Row Access Time (because of the Precharge       Time).          Multiplexing the address pins saves pins on the chip, but       usually requires additional logic in the system to properly       generate the address and control signals, not to mention       further logic for refresh.   Therefore, DRAM chips are usually       preferred when (because of the required memory size) the       additional cost for the control logic is outweighed by the       lower price.          Based on these principles, chip designers have developed many       varieties to improve performance or ease system integration of       DRAMs:          PSRAMs (Pseudo Static Random Access Memory) are essentially       DRAMs with a built-in address {multiplexor} and refresh       controller.   This saves some system logic and makes the device       look like a normal {SRAM}.   This has been popular as a lower       cost alternative for SRAM in {embedded systems}.   It is not a       complete SRAM substitute because it is sometimes busy when       doing self-refresh, which can be tedious.          {Nibble Mode DRAM} can supply four successive bits on one data       line by clocking the CAS\ line.          {Page Mode DRAM} is a standard DRAM where any number of       accesses to the currently open row can be made while the RAS       signal is kept active.          Static Column DRAM is similar to Page Mode DRAM, but to access       different bits in the open row, only the column address needs       to be changed while the CAS\ signal stays active.   The row       buffer essentially behaves like SRAM.          {Extended Data Out DRAM} (EDO DRAM) can continue to output       data from one address while setting up a new address, for use       in {pipelined} systems.          DRAM used for Video RAM ({VRAM}) has an additional long       shift register that can be loaded from the row buffer.   The       shift register can be regarded as a second interface to the       memory that can be operated in parallel to the normal       interface.   This is especially useful in {frame buffers} for       {CRT} displays.   These frame buffers generate a serial data       stream that is sent to the CRT to modulate the electron beam.       By using the shift register in the VRAM to generate this       stream, the memory is available to the computer through the       normal interface most of the time for updating the display       data, thereby speeding up display data manipulations.          SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) adds a separate clock signal to the       control signals.   It allows more complex {state machines} on       the chip and high speed "burst" accesses that clock a series       of successive bits out (similar to the nibble mode).          CDRAM (Cached DRAM) adds a separate static RAM array used for       caching.   It essentially combines main memory and {cache}       memory in a single chip.   The cache memory controller needs to       be added externally.          RDRAM (Rambus DRAM) changes the system interface of DRAM       completely.   A byte-wide bus is used for address, data and       command transfers.   The bus operates at very high speed: 500       million transfers per second.   The chip operates synchronously       with a 250MHz clock.   Data is transferred at both rising and       falling edges of the clock.   A system with signals at such       frequencies must be very carefully designed, and the signals       on the Rambus Channel use nonstandard signal levels, making it       incompatible with standard system logic.   These disadvantages       are compensated by a very fast data transfer, especially for       burst accesses to a block of successive locations.          A number of different refresh modes can be included in some of       the above device varieties:          RAS\ only refresh: a row is refreshed by an ordinary read       access without asserting CAS\.   The data output remains       disabled.          CAS\ before RAS\ refresh: the device has a built-in counter       for the refresh row address.   By activating CAS\ before       activating RAS\, this counter is selected to supply the row       address instead of the address inputs.          Self-Refresh: The device is able to generate refresh cycles       internally.   No external control signal transitions other than       those for bringing the device into self-refresh mode are       needed to maintain data integrity.          (1996-07-11)

dynamic scope          In a dynamically scoped language, e.g. most       versions of {Lisp}, an {identifier} can be referred to, not       only in the block where it is declared, but also in any       function or procedure called from within that block, even if       the called procedure is declared outside the block.          This can be implemented as a simple stack of (identifier,       value) pairs, accessed by searching down from the top of stack       for the most recent instance of a given identifier.          The opposite is {lexical scope}.   A common implementation of       dynamic scope is {shallow binding}.          (1996-07-11)

dynamic translation          A {virtual machine} implementation approach,       used to speed up execution of {byte-code} programs.   To       execute a program unit such as a {method} or a {function}, the       virtual machine compiles its bytecodes into (hardware) machine       code.   The translated code is also placed in a cache, so that       next time that unit's machine code can be executed       immediately, without repeating the translation.          This technique was pioneered by the commercial {Smalltalk}       implementation currently known as {VisualWorks}, in the early       1980s.   Currently it is also used by some implementations of       the {Java Virtual Machine} under the name {JIT} (Just In Time       compilation).          [Peter L. Deutsch and Alan Schiffman.

Dynamically Linked Library          (DLL) A {library} which is linked to {application       programs} when they are loaded or run rather than as the final       phase of {compilation}.   This means that the same block of       library code can be shared between several {tasks} rather than       each task containing copies of the routines it uses.   The       executable is compiled with a library of "{stubs}" which allow       {link errors} to be detected at {compile-time}.   Then, at {run       time}, either the system {loader} or the task's entry code       must arrange for library calls to be patched with the       addresses of the real shared library routines, possibly via a       {jump table}.          The alternative is to make library calls part of the       {operating system} {kernel} and enter them via some kind of       {trap} instruction.   This is generally less efficient than an       ordinary {subroutine} call.          It is important to ensure that the version of a dynamically       linked library is compatible with what the executable expects.          Examples of operating systems using dynamic linking are       {SunOS} (.so - shared object files), {Microsoft Windows}       (.dll) and {RISC OS} on the {Acorn} {Archimedes} (relocatable       modules).          (1995-12-12)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Daemoniac       one "possessed with a devil." In the days of our Lord and his       apostles, evil spirits, "daemons," were mysteriously permitted       by God to exercise an influence both over the souls and bodies       of men, inflicting dumbness (Matt. 9:32), blindness (12:22),       epilepsy (Mark 9:17-27), insanity (Matt. 8:28; Mark 5:1-5).       Daemoniacs are frequently distinguished from those who are       afflicted with ordinary bodily maladies (Mark 1:32; 16:17, 18;       Luke 6:17, 18). The daemons speak in their own persons (Matt.       8:29; Mark 1:23, 24; 5:7). This influence is clearly       distinguished from the ordinary power of corruption and of       temptation over men. In the daemoniac his personality seems to       be destroyed, and his actions, words, and even thoughts to be       overborne by the evil spirit (Mark, l.c.; Acts 19:15).

After posting an increase of nearly 8% in 1992, GDP growth    fell to 3% in 1993 and 1994 as mining output decreased and erosion of    real wages caused private consumption to decline. A pre-election boost    in government spending in early 1994 led to the first government    deficit in four years and bumped inflation up to 14% for the year.    Continued dynamism in construction and the services sector, especially    tourism, should keep the economy growing in 1995. Tourism,    agriculture, and manufacturing for export remain key sectors of the    economy. Domestic industry is based on the processing of agricultural    products, oil refining, and chemicals.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $24 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 2.9% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $3,070 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 14% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 30% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $1.8 billion    expenditures: $2.2 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1994 est.)       Exports: $585 million (f.o.b., 1994)    commodities: ferronickel, sugar, gold, coffee, cocoa    partners: US 52%, EC 23%, Puerto Rico 9%, Asia 7% (1992)       Imports: $2.5 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: foodstuffs, petroleum, cotton and fabrics, chemicals and    pharmaceuticals    partners: US 60% (1993)       External debt: $4.3 billion (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 3.4% (1994); accounts for 14% of    GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 1,450,000 kW    production: 5.4 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 651 kWh (1993)       Industries: tourism, sugar processing, ferronickel and gold mining,    textiles, cement, tobacco       Agriculture: accounts for 15% of GDP and employs 49% of labor force;    commercial crops - sugarcane, coffee, cotton, cocoa, and tobacco; food    crops - rice, beans, potatoes, corn, bananas; animal output - cattle,    hogs, dairy products, meat, eggs; not self-sufficient in food       Illicit drugs: transshipment point for South American drugs destined    for the US and Europe       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY85-89), $575 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $655 million       Currency: 1 Dominican peso (RD$) = 100 centavos       Exchange rates: Dominican pesos (RD$) per US$1 - 13.258 (January    1995), 13.160 (1994), 12.679 (1993), 12.774 (1992), 12.692 (1991),    8.525 (1990)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Dominican Republic:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 1,655 km (in numerous segments; includes 4 different gauges    from 0.558-m narrow gauge to 1.435-m standard gauge)       Highways:    total: 12,000 km    paved: 5,800 km    unpaved: gravel or improved earth 5,600 km; unimproved earth 600 km       Pipelines: crude oil 96 km; petroleum products 8 km       Ports: Barahona, La Romana, Puerto Plata, San Pedro de Macoris, Santo    Domingo       Merchant marine:    total: 1 cargo ship (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 1,587 GRT/1,165 DWT       Airports:    total: 36    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 4    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 5    with paved runways under 914 m: 16    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 1    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 6       Dominican Republic:Communications       Telephone system: 190,000 telephones; relatively efficient domestic    system based on islandwide microwave radio relay network    local: NA    intercity: islandwide microwave radio relay network    international: 1 coaxial submarine cable; 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean)    earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 120, FM 0, shortwave 6    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 18    televisions: NA       Dominican Republic:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, National Police       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 2,008,597; males fit for    military service 1,266,812; males reach military age (18) annually    79,769 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $116 million, 1.4% of    GDP (1994)
