Iron \I"ron\ ([imac]"[ucr]rn), n. [OE. iren, AS. [c6]ren,       [c6]sen, [c6]sern; akin to D. ijzer, OS. [c6]sarn, OHG.       [c6]sarn, [c6]san, G. eisen, Icel. [c6]sarn, j[be]rn, Sw. &       Dan. jern, and perh. to E. ice; cf. Ir. iarann, W. haiarn,       Armor. houarn.]       1. (Chem.) The most common and most useful metallic element,             being of almost universal occurrence, usually in the form             of an oxide (as hematite, magnetite, etc.), or a hydrous             oxide (as limonite, turgite, etc.). It is reduced on an             enormous scale in three principal forms; viz., cast iron,             steel, and wrought iron. Iron usually appears dark brown,             from oxidation or impurity, but when pure, or on a fresh             surface, is a gray or white metal. It is easily oxidized             (rusted) by moisture, and is attacked by many corrosive             agents. Symbol Fe (Latin Ferrum). Atomic weight 55.9.             Specific gravity, pure iron, 7.86; cast iron, 7.1. In             magnetic properties, it is superior to all other             substances.          Note: The value of iron is largely due to the facility with                which it can be worked. Thus, when heated it is                malleable and ductile, and can be easily welded and                forged at a high temperature. As cast iron, it is                easily fusible; as steel, is very tough, and (when                tempered) very hard and elastic. Chemically, iron is                grouped with cobalt and nickel. Steel is a variety of                iron containing more carbon than wrought iron, but less                that cast iron. It is made either from wrought iron, by                roasting in a packing of carbon (cementation) or from                cast iron, by burning off the impurities in a Bessemer                converter (then called Bessemer steel), or directly                from the iron ore (as in the Siemens rotatory and                generating furnace).          2. An instrument or utensil made of iron; -- chiefly in             composition; as, a flatiron, a smoothing iron, etc.                         My young soldier, put up your iron.   --Shak.          3. pl. Fetters; chains; handcuffs; manacles.                         Four of the sufferers were left to rot in irons.                                                                               --Macaulay.          4. Strength; power; firmness; inflexibility; as, to rule with             a rod of iron.          {Bar iron}. See {Wrought iron} (below).          {Bog iron}, bog ore; limonite. See {Bog ore}, under {Bog}.          {Cast iron} (Metal.), an impure variety of iron, containing             from three to six percent of carbon, part of which is             united with a part of the iron, as a carbide, and the rest             is uncombined, as graphite. It there is little free             carbon, the product is white iron; if much of the carbon             has separated as graphite, it is called gray iron. See             also {Cast iron}, in the Vocabulary.          {Fire irons}. See under {Fire}, n.          {Gray irons}. See under {Fire}, n.          {Gray iron}. See {Cast iron} (above).          {It irons} (Naut.), said of a sailing vessel, when, in             tacking, she comes up head to the wind and will not fill             away on either tack.          {Magnetic iron}. See {Magnetite}.          {Malleable iron} (Metal.), iron sufficiently pure or soft to             be capable of extension under the hammer; also, specif., a             kind of iron produced by removing a portion of the carbon             or other impurities from cast iron, rendering it less             brittle, and to some extent malleable.          {Meteoric iron} (Chem.), iron forming a large, and often the             chief, ingredient of meteorites. It invariably contains a             small amount of nickel and cobalt. Cf. {Meteorite}.          {Pig iron}, the form in which cast iron is made at the blast             furnace, being run into molds, called pigs.          {Reduced iron}. See under {Reduced}.          {Specular iron}. See {Hematite}.          {Too many irons in the fire}, too many objects requiring the             attention at once.          {White iron}. See {Cast iron} (above).          {Wrought iron} (Metal.), the purest form of iron commonly             known in the arts, containing only about half of one per             cent of carbon. It is made either directly from the ore,             as in the Catalan forge or bloomery, or by purifying             (puddling) cast iron in a reverberatory furnace or             refinery. It is tough, malleable, and ductile. When formed             into bars, it is called bar iron.

Reduced Instruction Set Computer          (RISC) A {processor} whose design is based on the       rapid execution of a sequence of simple instructions rather       than on the provision of a large variety of complex       instructions (as in a {Complex Instruction Set Computer}).          Features which are generally found in RISC designs are uniform       instruction encoding (e.g. the {op-code} is always in the same       bit positions in each instruction which is always one word       long), which allows faster decoding; a homogenous {register       set}, allowing any register to be used in any context and       simplifying {compiler} design; and simple {addressing mode}s       with more complex modes replaced by sequences of simple       arithmetic instructions.          Examples of (more or less) RISC processors are the {Berkeley       RISC}, {HP-PA}, {Clipper}, {i960}, {AMD 29000}, {MIPS R2000}       and {DEC Alpha}.   {IBM}'s first RISC computer was the {RT/PC}       ({IBM 801}), they now produce the RISC-based {RISC       System/6000} and {SP/2} lines.          Despite {Apple Computer}'s bogus claims for their       {PowerPC}-based {Macintosh}es, the first RISC processor used       in a {personal computer} was the {Advanced RISC Machine} (ARM)       used in the {Acorn} {Archimedes}.          (1997-06-03)

reduction          (Or "contraction") The process of transforming an expression       according to certain reduction rules.   The most important       forms are {beta reduction} (application of a {lambda       abstraction} to one or more argument expressions) and {delta       reduction} (application of a mathematical function to the       required number of arguments).          An {evaluation strategy} (or {reduction strategy}), determines       which part of an expression (which redex) to reduce first.       There are many such strategies.          See {graph reduction}, {string reduction}, {normal order       reduction}, {applicative order reduction}, {parallel       reduction}, {alpha conversion}, {beta conversion}, {delta       conversion}, {eta conversion}.          (1995-02-21)
