plenum cable          Cable that can be (legally) installed in the plenum       (the space between a ceiling and the floor above it).   Such       cable is (usually) teflon-coated so that it will not give off       toxic fumes when burned.   In some parts of the world such       cable is required by law.          (1996-08-25)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
polynomial          1. An arithmetic expression composed by summing       multiples of powers of some variable.          P(x) = sum a_i x^i for i = 0 .. N          The multipliers, a_i, are known as "{coefficient}s" and N, the       highest power of x with a non-zero coefficient, is known as       the "degree" of the polynomial.   If N=0 then P(x) is constant,       if N=1, P(x) is linear in x.   N=2 gives a "{quadratic}" and       N=3, a "cubic".          2. {polynomial-time}.

polynomial-time algorithm          A known {algorithm} (or {Turing Machine}) that is       guaranteed to terminate within a number of steps which is a       {polynomial} function of the size of the problem.          See also {computational complexity}, {exponential time},       {nondeterministic polynomial-time} (NP), {NP-complete}.          (1995-04-13)

polonium    Symbol: Po    Atomic number: 84    Atomic weight: (210)    Rare radioactive metallic element, belongs to group 16 of the periodic    table. Over 30 known isotopes exist, the most of all elements. Po-209 has    a half-life of 103 years. Possible uses in heating spacecraft. Discovered    by Marie Curie in 1898 in a sample of pitchblende.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Philemon       an inhabitant of Colosse, and apparently a person of some note       among the citizens (Col. 4:9; Philemon 1:2). He was brought to a       knowledge of the gospel through the instrumentality of Paul       (19), and held a prominent place in the Christian community for       his piety and beneficence (4-7). He is called in the epistle a       "fellow-labourer," and therefore probably held some office in       the church at Colosse; at all events, the title denotes that he       took part in the work of spreading a knowledge of the gospel.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Philemon, Epistle to       was written from Rome at the same time as the epistles to the       Colossians and Ephesians, and was sent also by Onesimus. It was       addressed to Philemon and the members of his family.                It was written for the purpose of interceding for Onesimus       (q.v.), who had deserted his master Philemon and been       "unprofitable" to him. Paul had found Onesimus at Rome, and had       there been instrumental in his conversion, and now he sends him       back to his master with this letter.                This epistle has the character of a strictly private letter,       and is the only one of such epistles preserved to us. "It       exhibits the apostle in a new light. He throws off as far as       possible his apostolic dignity and his fatherly authority over       his converts. He speaks simply as Christian to Christian. He       speaks, therefore, with that peculiar grace of humility and       courtesy which has, under the reign of Christianity, developed       the spirit of chivalry and what is called 'the character of a       gentleman,' certainly very little known in the old Greek and       Roman civilization" (Dr. Barry).
