symbol - HighBeam Encyclopedia Although the drawings at Altamira are considered symbolic in one sense (i.e., a drawn reindeer is the symbol for a live reindeer), they are said not to be symbols in another more common sense, since they are partially iconic. Religious symbolism is best known in its more ancient form from the discoveries of archaeologists; this is especially important in the study of Egyptian religion, in which the symbol of the god often appeared more frequently than the likeness of the god himself. In Judaism and Christianity religious symbolism is important, notably in the prophetic passages in the Bible and in the uses of public worship (see, for example, candle ; incense ; liturgy ; sacrament ; see also iconography). www.encyclopedia.com /doc/1E1-symbol.html   (626 words)

Term symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In quantum mechanics, the term symbol is an abbreviated description of the angular momentum quantum numbers in a multi-electron atom. The ground state term symbol is predicted by the Hund's rules. The term symbol is also used to describe compound systems such as mesons or atomic nuclei, or even molecules (see molecular term symbol). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Term_symbol   (1091 words)

Sophia on the web: Logic Page ~ Definition, etc. A word or term is a symbol that represents a collection of things, and not an individual thing itself. It is the group of words or symbols being used to explain the meaning of the definiendum. An operational definition of a term states that the term is correctly applied in a given case if and only if the performance of specified operations in that case yields a specific result. members.aol.com /moresophia/topic6.html   (1069 words)

[No title] The superscript of the term symbol is the value of the quantity 2S+1, where S is the total spin angular momentum quantum number of all the electrons in the atom. An L=0, S=½ term would give a term symbol 2S for Na. When there are two electrons outside of filled subshells and these two electrons are in different subshells the terms symbol is easy to predict using the so-called Clebsch-Gordan series. Terms symbols may be used to predict which atomic transitions are allowed and which are forbidden in absorption or emission spectroscopy. classweb.gmu.edu /sdavis/chem332/terms.doc   (1251 words)

Grey Lodge Occult Review :: Issue #9 :: On Symbolism :: There is no escape from the fact that they do, and that they always will, rule mankind, because we constitute a symbolic class of life, and we cannot cease from being so, except by regressing to the animal level. If we use the term 'food', for instance, the presupposition is that we take for granted the existence of living beings able to eat; and, similarly, the term 'symbol' implies the existence of intelligent beings. At present, the use of this term is not uniform and is largely a matter of convenience. www.greylodge.org /occultreview/glor_009/symbol.htm   (1742 words)

IBM Software - NetRexx - Language Definition - Terms Within simple terms, method calls with no arguments (that is, with no expressions between the parentheses) may be expressed without the parentheses provided that they refer to a method in the current class (or to a static method in a class used by the current class) and do not refer to a constructor. Within compound terms, method calls with no arguments (that is, with no expressions between the parentheses) may be expressed without the parentheses provided that they do not refer to a constructor. The symbol naming the reference is the name of a primitive type or is the short name of a known class, and there are one or more expressions within the brackets. www-306.ibm.com /software/awdtools/netrexx/library/nrlterms.html   (1768 words)

Term Symbols for Atomic Energy Levels   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) The heirarchy of labels for the electrons of multi-electron atoms is configuration, term, level, and state. Different terms will in general have different energies, and the order of those energies is usually that given by Hund's Rules, although there are exceptions. The different terms for a given configuration are obtained by forming the different combinations of angular momenta for the electrons outside closed shells, making sure the Pauli Exclusion Principle is obeyed. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu /hbase/atomic/term.html   (72 words)

NIST: Atomic Spectros. - Different Coupling Schemes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) K symbol in the fifth example is explained in the section LS Coupling. Unless separation of the configuration and final term designations is desired, as in some data tables, one may obtain a more concise notation by simply enclosing the entire configuration in brackets and adding the final J value as a subscript. Any term symbol gives the values of two angular momenta that may be coupled to give the total electronic angular momentum of a level (indicated by the J value). physics.nist.gov /Pubs/AtSpec/node09.html   (1247 words)

NIST: Atomic Spectra Database - Energy Levels Help File A term symbol in the second column belongs to the eigenvector component whose configuration and ancestry appear in the first column. The presence of both a configuration with all necessary ancestor terms in the first column and a term symbol in the second column guarantees that each of the levels grouped with the term is uniquely designated by the symbols in the first two columns, together with the J value; i.e., such levels have names. Thus the component for an assigned term name is normally the leading component in the eigenvector, and is also as large a percentage of the particular name as occurs in the eigenvector of any other level (known or not) with the same J value. physics.nist.gov /PhysRefData/ASD/Html/levelshelp.html   (3388 words)

Welcome to NewAgeCities.com The word "symbol" is derived from the Greek ‘sumbolon’, which was a token used for identification by comparison with a counterpart. The phenomenon of nature itself is perceived as a symbolic writing that reveals the laws governing both the physical and spiritual aspects of the universe. The different attributions of magical symbols can be considered as expressions of the spirit of those symbols in different states of being (or at different rates of vibration). www.newagecities.com /content/Magical_Symbol_L.asp   (1045 words)

Honalee LR(k) Algorithm LALR parsing was invented as a variation on this idea, using the look-ahead symbols of each state to combine similar states. All of the items shifting the same symbol are grouped together, and result in the creation of one new transition item set. This new set is the item set that the come-from set "transitions" to after shifting the symbol (i.e., the "goto" action that results when the the item set is converted into an LR parsing table entry). david.tribble.com /text/honalee.html   (3387 words)

Symbol reverting - OrCAD Community We recently had a problem on our board designs, specifically in the schematic, where a symbol was changed at rev 2 of the board and a replace cache was done in order to update the symbol. During the rev C spin of the board the cache again had to be updated due to the libraries being relocated to a different drive on the server. The symbol was not changed locally because there was no internal revision on the symbol in the design cache (the presence of an underscore followed by a number) This caused the new revision of the board design to be connected up per the old symbol, not the new, corrected one. www.orcad.com /forums/PrintPost.aspx?PostID=7840   (879 words)

Molecular term symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) In molecular physics, the molecular term symbol is a shorthand expression of the group representation and angular momenta that characterize the state of a molecule, i.e. It is the equivalent of the term symbol for the molecule case. In the case of less symmetric molecule the molecular term symbol contains the symbol of the group representation to which the molecular electronic state belongs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Molecular_term_symbol   (995 words)

KIF: Design Principles In my experience, the term is *never* used in texts or papers in mathematical or philosophical logic to indicate the meaning of a relation symbol. Whatever you heard was certainly not spawned by any sense of unnaturalness of the term "predicate" for me, as that is the term I have used for linguisitic thingies twenty years. They way you avoid confusion is to axiomatize the term "class" (or "sort" or whatever you want) and just insist that that is where people look if they want to understand what you mean. grimpeur.tamu.edu /pipermail/kif/2001-March/000525.html   (886 words)

KIF: Design Principles I noticed during today's telecon, you were stuttering when you used the term "predicate" and "function symbol" in the same sentence. The term "predicate symbol" is historically correct, and the use of "predicate" to refer to the symbol is ignorant. As Pat explained, the term "property" is a confusing word that should be expunged from the logical vocabulary. grimpeur.tamu.edu /pipermail/kif/2001-March/000518.html   (575 words)

Java Symbol Table Design Issues The term "symbol table" is generic and usually refers to a data structure that is much more complex than a table (e.g., an array of structures). The function symbol table parent pointer points to the next scope "upward" in the hierarchy (either the global symbol table, or in the case of Pascal, an enclosing procedure or function). The symbol table and the semantic analysis code that checks the Java AST returned by the parser must be able to resolve whether a symbol definition is semantically correct. www.bearcave.com /software/java/java_symtab.html   (3447 words)

The Assignment of Atomic Term Symbols Note: In the symbol L must be replaced with its alphabetic 'code': L=0 is S, L=1 is P, L=2 is D, L=3 is F, L=4 is G, L=5 is H... atomic term for the ground state of the H atom. Therefore, in the designation of atomic terms, the contribution from closed subshell electrons may be neglected. www.chem.ufl.edu /~itl/4412/lectures/ATermSym.html   (370 words)

ML-Yacc specifications The type of the value that a symbol may carry is defined at the same time that the symbol is defined. The symbol names and types are used to construct a datatype union for the values on the semantic stack in the LR parser and to name the values associated with subcomponents of a rule. Each value has the general form {symbol name}{n+1}, where {n} is the number of occurrences of the symbol to the left of the symbol. www.smlnj.org /doc/ML-Yacc/mlyacc002.html   (1848 words)

ACL2 Version 2.4 If any term in the goal is an instance of a trigger of some forward chaining rule, we try to establish the hypotheses of that forward chaining theorem (from the negation of the goal). Because every recursive function must be admitted with a justification in terms of a measure that decreases in a well-founded way on a given set of ``controlling'' arguments, every recursive function suggests a dual induction scheme that ``unwinds'' the function from a given application. term occurs in a conjecture to be proved by induction and the corresponding instance of the www.cs.utexas.edu /users/moore/acl2/v2-4/acl2-doc-56.html   (4547 words)

The EUCHARIST: ONLY a symbol? The best way to try to recover some of the Augustinan meaning of the term symbol is to imagine how it would make you feel if someone were to come into your house and cut up a picture of someone you love, a parent, child, spouse. A symbol is active, it evokes and--like a familiar smell that calls forth memories--touches an entire spectrum of consciousness beyond/beneath the merely rational. Let's remember that Holy Communion (to use the "old" term) is fundamentally an Easter celebration of thanksgiving (that's the meaning of the term "Eucharist") for the life-giving love of YHWH (celebrated in the Jewish Passover) linked to the life-giving sacrifice and love of Jesus the Christ who represents God's gift of Godself to the people. astro.temple.edu /~arcc/euch.htm   (1559 words)

Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics Thus the symbol is a sign, but it is distinguished from the signs of language in this: that between the image and the idea which it represents, there is a relation which is natural, not arbitrary or conventional. It is thus that the lion is the symbol of courage, the circle of eternity, the triangle of the trinity. The termination of this epoch is the disappearance of the symbol, which takes place by the reflective separation of the two terms, the idea being clearly conceived; the image, on its side, being perceived as distinct from the idea. www.marxists.org /reference/archive/hegel/works/ae/ch01.htm   (2196 words)

1909 Checklist Introduction, page 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) The arrangement on the shelves should be strictly alphabetical by symbol, not by the word for whcih the symbol stands; that is, Commerce and Labor Department publications precede Civil Service Commission publications, because C precedes CS. This provides for a distinctive symbol for each without limit, though the alphabetical arrangement of new bureaus can not be kept up. A point is placed after the bureau symbol to separate the Department and bureau notation from the rest of the classification. www.evergreen.edu /library/govdocs/tools/1909checklist/intro8.html   (380 words)

A Branch Office Symbol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Symbol Technologies, the first vendor to market a wireless LAN switch and (according to Synergy Research Group) the most successful in the market thus far, has introduced a new product designed for branch offices that don't need coverage for an extensive number of employees. Mobius Axon); it's not meant to be controlled by the original switch, which can run up to 30 "access ports," Symbol's term for its own "thin access points." The WS2000 is meant simply to be a scaled-down version that will provide coverage using one to six access ports. Symbol's take on the term "wireless switch" is that the main hardware should mimic the wired switches so prevalent in enterprises. www.wi-fiplanet.com /news/article.php/3313861   (724 words)
