From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   travelling salesman problem
  
      (TSP or "shortest path", US:
      "traveling") Given a set of towns and the distances between
      them, determine the shortest path starting from a given town,
      passing through all the other towns and returning to the first
      town.
  
      This is a famous problem with a variety of solutions of
      varying complexity and efficiency.   The simplest solution (the
      {brute force} approach) generates all possible routes and
      takes the shortest.   This becomes impractical as the number of
      towns, N, increases since the number of possible routes is
      !(N-1).   A more intelligent {algorithm} (similar to {iterative
      deepening}) considers the shortest path to each town which can
      be reached in one hop, then two hops, and so on until all
      towns have been visited.   At each stage the algorithm
      maintains a "frontier" of reachable towns along with the
      shortest route to each.   It then expands this frontier by one
      hop each time.

   triple DES
  
      A {product cipher} which, like {DES}, operates
      on 64-bit data blocks.   There are several forms, each of which
      uses the DES cipher 3 times.   Some forms use two 56-bit keys,
      some use three.   The DES "modes of operation" may also be used
      with triple-DES.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tree of life
      stood also in the midst of the garden of Eden (Gen. 2:9; 3:22).
      Some writers have advanced the opinion that this tree had some
      secret virtue, which was fitted to preserve life. Probably the
      lesson conveyed was that life was to be sought by man, not in
      himself or in his own power, but from without, from Him who is
      emphatically the Life (John 1:4; 14:6). Wisdom is compared to
      the tree of life (Prov. 3:18). The "tree of life" spoken of in
      the Book of Revelation (Rev. 2:7; 22:2, 14) is an emblem of the
      joys of the celestial paradise.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tribulation
      trouble or affiction of any kind (Deut. 4:30; Matt. 13:21; 2
      Cor. 7:4). In Rom. 2:9 "tribulation and anguish" are the penal
      sufferings that shall overtake the wicked. In Matt. 24:21, 29,
      the word denotes the calamities that were to attend the
      destruction of Jerusalem.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Tarpelites, ravishers; succession of miracles
