Electricity \E`lec*tric"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Electricities}. [Cf. F.       [82]lectricit[82]. See {Electric}.]       1. 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. (b)          {Dynamical electricity}, called also          {Voltaic electricity}, electricity in motion, or as a current             produced by chemical decomposition, as by means of a             voltaic battery, or by mechanical action, as by             dynamo-electric machines. (c)          {Thermoelectricity}, in which the disturbing cause is heat             (attended possibly with some chemical action). It is             developed by uniting two pieces of unlike metals in a bar,             and then heating the bar unequally. (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}. (g)          {Negative electricity}, the electricity that appears at the             negative pole or cathode, or is produced by the friction             of resinous substance; -- called also resinous             electricity. (h)          {Organic electricity}, that which is developed in organic             structures, either animal or vegetable, the phrase animal             electricity being much more common.          2. The science which unfolds the phenomena and laws of             electricity; electrical science.          3. Fig.: Electrifying energy or characteristic.

Frigate \Frig"ate\, n. [F. fr[82]gate, It. fregata, prob.       contracted fr. L. fabricata something constructed or. built.       See {Fabricate}.]       1. Originally, a vessel of the Mediterranean propelled by             sails and by oars. The French, about 1650, transferred the             name to larger vessels, and by 1750 it had been             appropriated for a class of war vessels intermediate             between corvettes and ships of the line. Frigates, from             about 1750 to 1850, had one full battery deck and, often,             a spar deck with a lighter battery. They carried sometimes             as many as fifty guns.

Frightful \Fright"ful\, a.       1. Full of fright; affrighted; frightened. [Obs.]                         See how the frightful herds run from the wood. --W.                                                                               Browne.          2. Full of that which causes fright; exciting alarm;             impressing terror; shocking; as, a frightful chasm, or             tempest; a frightful appearance.          Syn: Terrible; dreadful; alarming; fearful; terrific; awful;                horrid; horrible; shocking.          Usage: {Frightful}, {Dreadful}, {Awful}. These words all                   express fear. In frightful, it is a sudden emotion; in                   dreadful, it is deeper and more prolonged; in awful,                   the fear is mingled with the emotion of awe, which                   subdues us before the presence of some invisible                   power. An accident may be frightful; the approach of                   death is dreadful to most men; the convulsions of the                   earthquake are awful.

First Fit          A {resource} allocation scheme (usually for       {memory}).   First Fit fits data into memory by scanning from       the beginning of available memory to the end, until the first       free space which is at least big enough to accept the data is       found.   This space is then allocated to the data.   Any left       over becomes a smaller, separate free space.          If the data to be allocated is bigger than the biggest free       space, the request cannot be met, and an error is generated.          Compare {Best Fit}.          (1997-06-02)

first-in first-out          (FIFO, or "queue") A data structure or hardware       buffer from which items are taken out in the same order they       were put in.   Also known as a "shelf" from the analogy with       pushing items onto one end of a shelf so that they fall off       the other.   A FIFO is useful for buffering a stream of data       between a sender and receiver which are not synchronised -       i.e. not sending and receiving at exactly the same rate.       Obviously if the rates differ by too much in one direction for       too long then the FIFO will become either full ({block}ing the       sender) or empty ({block}ing the receiver).   A {Unix} {pipe}       is a common example of a FIFO.          A FIFO might be (but isn't ever?) called a LILO - last-in       last-out.   The opposite of a FIFO is a LIFO (last-in       first-out) or "{stack}".          (1999-12-06)

first-order logic          The language describing the truth of       mathematical {formula}s.   Formulas describe properties of       terms and have a truth value.   The following are atomic       formulas:             True          False          p(t1,..tn) where t1,..,tn are terms and p is a predicate.          If F1, F2 and F3 are formulas and v is a variable then the       following are compound formulas:             F1 ^ F2 conjunction - true if both F1 and F2 are true,             F1 V F2 disjunction - true if either or both are true,             F1 => F2 implication - true if F1 is false or F2 is       true, F1 is the antecedent, F2 is the       consequent (sometimes written with a thin       arrow),             F1 <= F2 true if F1 is true or F2 is false,             F1 == F2 true if F1 and F2 are both true or both false       (normally written with a three line       equivalence symbol)             ~F1 negation - true if f1 is false (normally       written as a dash '-' with a shorter vertical       line hanging from its right hand end).             For all v . F universal quantification - true if F is true       for all values of v (normally written with an       inverted A).             Exists v . F existential quantification - true if there       exists some value of v for which F is true.       (Normally written with a reversed E).          The operators ^ V => <= == ~ are called connectives.   "For       all" and "Exists" are {quantifier}s whose {scope} is F.   A       term is a mathematical expression involving numbers,       operators, functions and variables.          The "order" of a logic specifies what entities "For all" and       "Exists" may quantify over.   First-order logic can only       quantify over sets of {atomic} {proposition}s.   (E.g. For all p       . p => p).   Second-order logic can quantify over functions on       propositions, and higher-order logic can quantify over any       type of entity.   The sets over which quantifiers operate are       usually implicit but can be deduced from well-formedness       constraints.          In first-order logic quantifiers always range over ALL the       elements of the domain of discourse.   By contrast,       second-order logic allows one to quantify over subsets of M.          ["The Realm of First-Order Logic", Jon Barwise, Handbook of       Mathematical Logic (Barwise, ed., North Holland, NYC, 1977)].          (1995-05-02)

fractal          A fractal is a rough or fragmented       geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which       is (at least approximately) a smaller copy of the whole.       Fractals are generally self-similar (bits look like the whole)       and independent of scale (they look similar, no matter how       close you zoom in).          Many mathematical structures are fractals; e.g. {Sierpinski       triangle}, {Koch snowflake}, {Peano curve}, {Mandelbrot set}       and {Lorenz attractor}.   Fractals also describe many       real-world objects that do not have simple geometric shapes,       such as clouds, mountains, turbulence, and coastlines.          {Benoit Mandelbrot}, the discoverer of the {Mandelbrot set},       coined the term "fractal" in 1975 from the Latin fractus or       "to break".   He defines a fractal as a set for which the       {Hausdorff Besicovich dimension} strictly exceeds the       {topological dimension}.   However, he is not satisfied with       this definition as it excludes sets one would consider       fractals.          {sci.fractals FAQ       (ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/usenet/usenet-by-group/sci.fractals/)}.          See also {fractal compression}, {fractal dimension}, {Iterated       Function System}.          {Usenet} newsgroups: {news:sci.fractals},       {news:alt.binaries.pictures.fractals}, {news:comp.graphics}.          ["The Fractal Geometry of Nature", Benoit Mandelbrot].          [Are there non-self-similar fractals?]          (1997-07-02)

fractal dimension          A common type of fractal dimension is the       Hausdorff-Besicovich Dimension, but there are several       different ways of computing fractal dimension.   Fractal       dimension can be calculated by taking the limit of the       quotient of the log change in object size and the log change       in measurement scale, as the measurement scale approaches       zero.   The differences come in what is exactly meant by       "object size" and what is meant by "measurement scale" and how       to get an average number out of many different parts of a       geometrical object.   Fractal dimensions quantify the static       *geometry* of an object.          For example, consider a straight line.   Now blow up the line       by a factor of two.   The line is now twice as long as before.       Log 2 / Log 2 = 1, corresponding to dimension 1.   Consider a       square.   Now blow up the square by a factor of two.   The       square is now 4 times as large as before (i.e. 4 original       squares can be placed on the original square).   Log 4 / log 2       = 2, corresponding to dimension 2 for the square.   Consider a       snowflake curve formed by repeatedly replacing ___ with _/\_,       where each of the 4 new lines is 1/3 the length of the old       line.   Blowing up the snowflake curve by a factor of 3 results       in a snowflake curve 4 times as large (one of the old       snowflake curves can be placed on each of the 4 segments       _/\_).   Log 4 / log 3 = 1.261...   Since the dimension 1.261 is       larger than the dimension 1 of the lines making up the curve,       the snowflake curve is a fractal.   [sci.fractals FAQ].

First-born       sons enjoyed certain special privileges (Deut. 21:17; Gen.       25:23, 31, 34; 49:3; 1 Chr. 5:1; Heb. 12:16; Ps. 89:27). (See {BIRTHRIGHT}.)                The "first-born of the poor" signifies the most miserable of       the poor (Isa. 14:30). The "church of the first-born" signifies       the church of the redeemed.                The destruction of the first-born was the last of the ten       plagues inflicted on the Egyptians (Ex. 11:1-8; 12:29, 30).                Menephtah is probably the Pharaoh whose first-born was slain.       His son did not succeed or survive his father, but died early.       The son's tomb has been found at Thebes unfinished, showing it       was needed earlier than was expected. Some of the records on the       tomb are as follows: "The son whom Menephtah loves; who draws       towards him his father's heart, the singer, the prince of       archers, who governed Egypt on behalf of his father.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
First-born, Redemption of       From the beginning the office of the priesthood in each family       belonged to the eldest son. But when the extensive plan of       sacrificial worship was introduced, requiring a company of men       to be exclusively devoted to this ministry, the primitive office       of the first-born was superseded by that of the Levites (Num.       3:11-13), and it was ordained that the first-born of man and of       unclean animals should henceforth be redeemed (18:15).                The laws concerning this redemption of the first-born of man       are recorded in Ex. 13:12-15; 22:29; 34:20; Num. 3:45; 8:17;       18:16; Lev. 12:2, 4.                The first-born male of every clean animal was to be given up       to the priest for sacrifice (Deut. 12:6; Ex. 13:12; 34:20; Num.       18:15-17).                But the first-born of unclean animals was either to be       redeemed or sold and the price given to the priest (Lev.       27:11-13, 27). The first-born of an ass, if not redeemed, was to       be put to death (Ex. 13:13; 34:20).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
First-born, Sanctification of the       A peculiar sanctity was attached to the first-born both of man       and of cattle. God claimed that the first-born males of man and       of animals should be consecrated to him, the one as a priest       (Ex. 19:22, 24), representing the family to which he belonged,       and the other to be offered up in sacrifice (Gen. 4:4).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
First-fruits       The first-fruits of the ground were offered unto God just as the       first-born of man and animals.                The law required, (1.) That on the morrow after the Passover       Sabbath a sheaf of new corn should be waved by the priest before       the altar (Lev. 23:5, 6, 10, 12; 2:12).                (2.) That at the feast of Pentecost two loaves of leavened       bread, made from the new flour, were to be waved in like manner       (Lev. 23:15, 17; Num. 28:26).                (3.) The feast of Tabernacles was an acknowledgement that the       fruits of the harvest were from the Lord (Ex. 23:16; 34:22).                (4.) Every individual, besides, was required to consecrate to       God a portion of the first-fruits of the land (Ex. 22:29; 23:19;       34:26; Num. 15:20, 21).                (5.) The law enjoined that no fruit was to be gathered from       newly-planted fruit-trees for the first three years, and that       the first-fruits of the fourth year were to be consecrated to       the Lord (Lev. 19:23-25). Jeremiah (2:3) alludes to the       ordinance of "first-fruits," and hence he must have been       acquainted with the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers,       where the laws regarding it are recorded.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Forest       Heb. ya'ar, meaning a dense wood, from its luxuriance. Thus all       the great primeval forests of Syria (Eccl. 2:6; Isa. 44:14; Jer.       5:6; Micah 5:8). The most extensive was the trans-Jordanic       forest of Ephraim (2 Sam. 18:6, 8; Josh. 17:15, 18), which is       probably the same as the wood of Ephratah (Ps. 132:6), some part       of the great forest of Gilead. It was in this forest that       Absalom was slain by Joab. David withdrew to the forest of       Hareth in the mountains of Judah to avoid the fury of Saul (1       Sam. 22:5). We read also of the forest of Bethel (2 Kings 2:23,       24), and of that which the Israelites passed in their pursuit of       the Philistines (1 Sam. 14:25), and of the forest of the cedars       of Lebanon (1 Kings 4:33; 2 Kings 19:23; Hos. 14:5, 6).                "The house of the forest of Lebanon (1 Kings 7:2; 10:17; 2       Chr. 9:16) was probably Solomon's armoury, and was so called       because the wood of its many pillars came from Lebanon, and they       had the appearance of a forest. (See {BAALBEC}.)                Heb. horesh, denoting a thicket of trees, underwood, jungle,       bushes, or trees entangled, and therefore affording a safe       hiding-place. place. This word is rendered "forest" only in 2       Chr. 27:4. It is also rendered "wood", the "wood" in the       "wilderness of Ziph," in which david concealed himself (1 Sam.       23:15), which lay south-east of Hebron. In Isa. 17:19 this word       is in Authorized Version rendered incorrectly "bough."                Heb. pardes, meaning an enclosed garden or plantation. Asaph       is (Neh. 2:8) called the "keeper of the king's forest." The same       Hebrew word is used Eccl. 2:5, where it is rendered in the       plural "orchards" (R.V., "parks"), and Cant. 4: 13, rendered       "orchard" (R.V. marg., "a paradise").                "The forest of the vintage" (Zech. 11:2, "inaccessible       forest," or R.V. "strong forest") is probably a figurative       allusion to Jerusalem, or the verse may simply point to the       devastation of the region referred to.                The forest is an image of unfruitfulness as contrasted with a       cultivated field (Isa. 29:17; 32:15; Jer. 26:18; Hos. 2:12).       Isaiah (10:19, 33, 34) likens the Assyrian host under       Sennacherib (q.v.) to the trees of some huge forest, to be       suddenly cut down by an unseen stroke.

It is rendered by       Gesenius, the Hebrew lexicographer, "ant," and so also by       others, but the usual interpretation derived from the ancient       versions may be maintained.
