Horse \Horse\ (h[ocir]rs), n. [AS. hors; akin to OS. hros, D. &       OHG. ros, G. ross, Icel. hross; and perh. to L. currere to       run, E. course, current Cf. {Walrus}.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) A hoofed quadruped of the genus {Equus};             especially, the domestic horse ({E. caballus}), which was             domesticated in Egypt and Asia at a very early period. It             has six broad molars, on each side of each jaw, with six             incisors, and two canine teeth, both above and below. The             mares usually have the canine teeth rudimentary or             wanting. The horse differs from the true asses, in having             a long, flowing mane, and the tail bushy to the base.             Unlike the asses it has callosities, or chestnuts, on all             its legs. The horse excels in strength, speed, docility,             courage, and nobleness of character, and is used for             drawing, carrying, bearing a rider, and like purposes.          Note: Many varieties, differing in form, size, color, gait,                speed, etc., are known, but all are believed to have                been derived from the same original species. It is                supposed to have been a native of the plains of Central                Asia, but the wild species from which it was derived is                not certainly known. The feral horses of America are                domestic horses that have run wild; and it is probably                true that most of those of Asia have a similar origin.                Some of the true wild Asiatic horses do, however,                approach the domestic horse in several characteristics.                Several species of fossil ({Equus}) are known from the                later Tertiary formations of Europe and America. The                fossil species of other genera of the family                {Equid[91]} are also often called horses, in general                sense.          2. The male of the genus horse, in distinction from the             female or male; usually, a castrated male.

Let AB be an arc in a circle, whose             radius OA is unity let AC be a quadrant, and let OC, DB,             and AF be drawnpependicular to OA, and EB and CG parallel             to OA, and let OB be produced to G and F. E Then BD is the             sine of the arc AB; OD or EB is the cosine, AF is the             tangent, CG is the cotangent, OF is the secant OG is the             cosecant, AD is the versed sine, and CE is the coversed             sine of the are AB. If the length of AB be represented by             x (OA being unity) then the lengths of Functions. these             lines (OA being unity) are the trigonometrical functions             of x, and are written sin x, cos x, tan x (or tang x), cot             x, sec x, cosec x, versin x, coversin x.

explicit parallelism          A feature of a programming language for a {parallel       processing} system which allows or forces the programmer to       annotate his program to indicate which parts should be       executed as independent parallel tasks.   This is obviously       more work for the programmer than a system with {implicit       parallelism} (where the system decides automatically which       parts to run in parallel) but may allow higher performance.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
explicit type conversion          (Or "cast" in {C} and elsewhere).   A programming       construct ({syntax}) to specify that an expression's value       should be converted to a different type.          For example, in {C}, to convert an {integer} (usually 32 bits)       to a {char} (usually 8 bits) we might write:          int i = 42;       char *p = &buf;       *p = (char) i;          The expression "(char)" (called a "cast") converts i's value       to char type.   Casts (including this one) are often not       strictly necessary, due to automatic {coercions} performed by       the compiler, but can be used to make the conversion obvious       and to avoid warning messages.          (1999-09-19)
