   Tern \Tern\ (t[etil]rn), n. [Dan. terne, t[91]rne; akin to Sw.
      t[84]rna, Icel. [thorn]erna; cf. NL. sterna.] (Zo[94]l.)
      Any one of numerous species of long-winged aquatic birds,
      allied to the gulls, and belonging to {Sterna} and various
      allied genera.
  
      Note: Terns differ from gulls chiefly in their graceful form,
               in their weaker and more slender bills and feet, and
               their longer and more pointed wings. The tail is
               usually forked. Most of the species are white with the
               back and wings pale gray, and often with a dark head.
               The common European tern ({Sterna hirundo}) is found
               also in Asia and America. Among other American species
               are the arctic tern ({S. paradis[91]a}), the roseate
               tern ({S. Dougalli}), the least tern ({S. Antillarum}),
               the royal tern ({S. maxima}), and the sooty tern ({S.
               fuliginosa}).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Scott-closed
  
      A set S, a subset of D, is Scott-closed if
  
      (1) If Y is a subset of S and Y is {directed} then lub Y is in
      S and
  
      (2) If y <= s in S then y is in S.
  
      I.e. a Scott-closed set contains the {lub}s of its {directed}
      subsets and anything less than any element.   (2) says that S
      is downward {closed} (or left closed).
  
      ("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\sqsubseteq}).
