From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Mendel's law \Men"del's law\       A principle governing the inheritance of many characters in       animals and plants, discovered by Gregor J. Mendel (Austrian       Augustinian abbot, 1822-84) in breeding experiments with       peas. He showed that the height, color, and other characters       depend on the presence of determinating factors behaving as       units. In any given germ cell each of these is either present       or absent.          Note: The following example (using letters as symbols of the                determining factors and hence also of the individuals                possessing them) shows the operation of the law:                Tallness being due to a factor T, a tall plant, arising                by the union in fertilization of two germ cells both                bearing this factor, is TT; a dwarf, being without T,                is tt. Crossing these, crossbreeds, Tt, result (called                generation F_{1}). In the formation of the germ cells                of these crossbreeds a process of segregation occurs                such that germ cells, whether male or female, are                produced of two kinds, T and t, in equal numbers. The T                cells bear the factor [bd]tallness,[b8] the t cells are                devoid of it. The offspring, generation F_{2}, which                arise from the chance union of these germ cells in                pairs, according to the law of probability, are                therefore on an average in the following proportions: 1                TT : 2 Tt : 1 tt; and thus plants pure in tallness (TT)                and dwarfness (tt), as well as crossbreeds (Tt), are                formed by the interbreeding of crossbreeds. Frequently,                as in this example, owning to what is called the                dominance of a factor, the operation of Mendel's law                may be complicated by the fact that when a dominant                factor (as T) occurs with its allelomorph (as t),                called recessive, in the crossbreed Tt, the individual                Tt is itself indistinguishable from the pure form TT.                Generation F_{1}, containing only the Tt form, consists                entirely of dominants (tall plants) and generation                F_{2} consists of three dominants (2 Tt, 1 TT) to one                dwarf (tt), which, displaying the feature suppressed in                F_{1}, is called recessive. Such qualitative and                numerical regularity has been proved to exist in regard                to very diverse qualities or characters which compose                living things, both wild and domesticated, such as                colors of flowers, of hair or eyes, patterns,                structure, chemical composition, and power of resisting                certain diseases. The diversity of forms produced in                crossbreeding by horticulturists and fanciers generally                results from a process of analytical variation or                recombination of the factors composing the parental                types. Purity of type consequently acquires a specific                meaning. An individual is pure in respect of a given                character when it results from the union of two sexual                cells both bearing that character, or both without it.

mandelbug /man'del-buhg/ n.   [from the Mandelbrot set] A bug    whose underlying causes are so complex and obscure as to make its    behavior appear chaotic or even non-deterministic.   This term    implies that the speaker thinks it is a {Bohr bug}, rather than a    {heisenbug}.   See also {schroedinbug}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Mandelbrot set          (After its discoverer, {Benoit       Mandelbrot}) The set of all {complex numbers} c such that          | z[N] | < 2          for arbitrarily large values of N, where          z[0] = 0       z[n+1] = z[n]^2 + c          The Mandelbrot set is usually displayed as an {Argand       diagram}, giving each point a colour which depends on the       largest N for which | z[N] | < 2, up to some maximum N which       is used for the points in the set (for which N is infinite).       These points are traditionally coloured black.          The Mandelbrot set is the best known example of a {fractal} -       it includes smaller versions of itself which can be explored       to arbitrary levels of detail.          {The Fractal Microscope       (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Edu/Fractal/Fractal_Home.html/)}.          (1995-02-08)

mendelevium    Symbol: Md    Atomic number: 101    Atomic weight: (256)    Radioactive metallic transuranic element. Belongs to the actinoid series.    Only known isotope, Md-256 has a half-life of 1.3 hours. First identified    by Glenn T. Seaborg, Albert Ghiorso and associates in 1955. Alternative    name {unnilunium} has been proposed. Named after the 'inventor' of the    periodic table, Dmitri Mendeleev.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mantle       (1.) Heb. 'addereth, a large over-garment. This word is used of       Elijah's mantle (1 Kings 19:13, 19; 2 Kings 2:8, 13, etc.),       which was probably a sheepskin. It appears to have been his only       garment, a strip of skin or leather binding it to his loins.       _'Addereth_ twice occurs with the epithet "hairy" (Gen. 25:25;       Zech. 13:4, R.V.). It is the word denoting the "goodly       Babylonish garment" which Achan coveted (Josh. 7:21).                (2.) Heb. me'il, frequently applied to the "robe of the ephod"       (Ex. 28:4, 31; Lev. 8:7), which was a splendid under tunic       wholly of blue, reaching to below the knees. It was woven       without seam, and was put on by being drawn over the head. It       was worn not only by priests but by kings (1 Sam. 24:4),       prophets (15:27), and rich men (Job 1:20; 2:12). This was the       "little coat" which Samuel's mother brought to him from year to       year to Shiloh (1 Sam. 2:19), a miniature of the official       priestly robe.                (3.) Semikah, "a rug," the garment which Jael threw as a       covering over Sisera (Judg. 4:18). The Hebrew word occurs       nowhere else in Scripture.                (4.) Maataphoth, plural, only in Isa. 3:22, denoting a large       exterior tunic worn by females. (See {DRESS}.)
