Crystallization \Crys`tal*li*za"tion\       (kr[icr]s`t[ait]l*l[icr]*z[amac]"sh[ucr]n), n. [Cf. F.       cristallization.]       1. (Chem. & Min.) The act or process by which a substance in             solidifying assumes the form and structure of a crystal,             or becomes crystallized.          2. The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on             precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations.          Note: The systems of crystallization are the several classes                to which the forms are mathematically referable. They                are most simply described according to the relative                lengths and inclinations of certain assumed lines                called axes; but the real distinction is the degree of                symmetry characterizing them. 1. {The Isometric, [or]                Monometric, system} has the axes all equal, as in the                cube, octahedron, etc. 2. {The Tetragonal, [or]                Dimetric, system} has a varying vertical axis, while                the lateral are equal, as in the right square prism. 3.                {The Orthorhombic, [or] Trimetric, system} has the                three axes unequal, as in the rectangular and rhombic                prism.

The following are oblique. 4. {The                Monoclinic system}, having one of the intersections                oblique, as in the oblique rhombic prism. In this                system, the lateral axes are called respectively,                clinodiagonal and orthodiagonal. 5. {The Triclinic                system}, having all the three intersections oblique, as                in the oblique rhomboidal prism. There is also: 6. {The                Hexagonal system} (one division of which is called                Rhombohedral), in which there are three equal lateral                axes, and a vertical axis of variable length, as in the                hexagonal prism and the rhombohedron.          Note: The Diclinic system, sometimes recognized, with two                oblique intersections, is only a variety of the                Triclinic.

[imp. {Rode} (r[omac]d) ({Rid} [r[icr]d],       archaic); p. p. {Ridden}({Rid}, archaic); p. pr. & vb. n.       {Riding}.] [AS. r[c6]dan; akin to LG. riden, D. rijden, G.       reiten, OHG. r[c6]tan, Icel. r[c6][edh]a, Sw. rida, Dan.       ride; cf. L. raeda a carriage, which is from a Celtic word.       Cf. {Road}.]       1. To be carried on the back of an animal, as a horse.                         To-morrow, when ye riden by the way.   --Chaucer.                         Let your master ride on before, and do you gallop                      after him.                                          --Swift.          2. To be borne in a carriage; as, to ride in a coach, in a             car, and the like. See Synonym, below.                         The richest inhabitants exhibited their wealth, not                      by riding in gilden carriages, but by walking the                      streets with trains of servants.         --Macaulay.          3. To be borne or in a fluid; to float; to lie.                         Men once walked where ships at anchor ride.                                                                               --Dryden.          4. To be supported in motion; to rest.                         Strong as the exletree On which heaven rides.                                                                               --Shak.                         On whose foolish honesty My practices ride easy!                                                                               --Shak.          5. To manage a horse, as an equestrian.                         He rode, he fenced, he moved with graceful ease.                                                                               --Dryden.          6. To support a rider, as a horse; to move under the saddle;             as, a horse rides easy or hard, slow or fast.          {To ride easy} (Naut.), to lie at anchor without violent             pitching or straining at the cables.          {To ride hard} (Naut.), to pitch violently.          {To ride out}.             (a) To go upon a military expedition.

[Colloq.]          {To ride to hounds}, to ride behind, and near to, the hounds             in hunting.          Syn: Drive.          Usage: {Ride}, {Drive}. Ride originally meant (and is so used                   throughout the English Bible) to be carried on                   horseback or in a vehicle of any kind. At present in                   England, drive is the word applied in most cases to                   progress in a carriage; as, a drive around the park,                   etc.; while ride is appropriated to progress on a                   horse. Johnson seems to sanction this distinction by                   giving [bd]to travel on horseback[b8] as the leading                   sense of ride; though he adds [bd]to travel in a                   vehicle[b8] as a secondary sense. This latter use of                   the word still occurs to some extent; as, the queen                   rides to Parliament in her coach of state; to ride in                   an omnibus.                               [bd]Will you ride over or drive?[b8] said Lord                            Willowby to his quest, after breakfast that                            morning.                                       --W. Black.

tired iron n.   [IBM] Hardware that is perfectly functional but far       enough behind the state of the art to have been superseded by new    products, presumably with sufficient improvement in bang-per-buck    that the old stuff is starting to look a bit like a {dinosaur}.

three-tier          A {client-server} architecture in which the       {user interface}, functional process logic ("business rules")       and data storage and access are developed and maintained as       independent {modules}, most often on separate {platforms}.          Apart from the usual advantages of modular software with well       defined interfaces, the three-tier architecture is intended to       allow any of the three tiers to be upgraded or replaced       independently as requirements or technology change.   For       example, an upgrade of desktop {operating system} from       {Microsoft Windows} to {Unix} would only affect the {user       interface} code.          Typically, the user interface runs on a desktop {PC} or       {workstation} and uses a standard {graphical user interface},       functional process logic may consist of one or more separate       modules running on a {workstation} or application {server},       and an {RDBMS} on a database server or {mainframe} contains       the data storage logic.   The middle tier may be multi-tiered       itself (in which case the overall architecture is called an       "n-tier architecture").          (1998-05-13)

Tree Transformation Language          (TXL) A hybrid       {functional language} and {rule-based language} developed by       J.R. Cordy et al of {Queen's       University}, Canada in 1988.   TXL is suitable for performing       source to source analysis and transformation and for rapidly       prototyping new languages and language processors.   It uses       {structural transformation} based on {term rewriting}.          TXL has been particularly successful in {software engineering}       tasks such as {design recovery}, {refactoring}, and       {reengineering}.   Most recently it has been applied to       {artificial intelligence} tasks such as recognition of       hand-written mathematics, and to transformation of {structured       documents} in {XML}.          TXL takes as input an arbitrary {context-free grammar} in       {extended BNF}-like notation, and a set of {show-by-example}       transformation rules to be applied to inputs parsed using the       grammar.   TXL supports the notion of {agile parsing}, the       ability to tailor the grammar to each particular task using       "grammar overrides".          Current version: FreeTXL 10.3, as of 2003-10-26.          {TXL Home (http://www.txl.ca/)}.          ["TXL: A Rapid Prototyping System for Programming Language       Dialects", J.R.
