Specialty Definition: A

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The letter A is the first letter in the Roman alphabet, derived from the Greek letter &Alpha which as in Latin had the sound values /a/ and /a:/. It can be traced back through Etruscan and Greek (α, Alpha¹) to the Semitic 'âlep, which stood for the glottal stop. The Greek names are of Semitic origin, and the Semitic names are known thanks to Hebrew. The Latin, Greek and Old English sound values /a/ and /a:/ gave way to several other vocalic sounds, e.g. [EI] and [æ] in English, the latter formerly represented by an a-e ligature called æsc. In some languages, e.g. Italian, Spanish and German, A is basically still pronounced as in Latin. A was originally a pictogram that stood for the ox (='âlep in Semitic).

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

On computers using ASCII, the uppercase letter is represented with ASCII code 65 and the lowercase letter with code 97.

In syllogisms, the letter A is used as a symbol for the universal affirmative proposition in the general form "all x is y." The letters I, E and O are used respectively for the particular affirmative "some x is y," the universal negative "no x is y," and the particular negative "some x is not y." The use of these letters is generally derived from the vowels of the two Latin verbs affirmo (or AIo), "I assert," and nego, "I deny." The use of the symbols dates from the 13th century, though some authorities trace their origin to the Greek logicians. A is also used frequently in abbreviations.

The above usage is copied in mathematics and logic, the symbol ∀ (an inverted letter A), called the universal quantifier, is used to mean "for all...". Example: ∀x x+x=2x.

¹ Alpha represents the letter A in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

A is also:

• A musical note
• The English indefinite article, see A, an
• The stock symbol for Agilent Technologies Incorporated.
• The HTML element for an anchor tag.
• An album by Jethro Tull, see A
• An Italian film, A, made in 1969
• The heater (filament) power supply (originally a battery) of vacuum tube circuitry.
• The symbol for the SI unit ampere or amp
• With a ring over (Å), the symbol for the unit angstrom
• The symbol for the surface area unit are (a)
• A is one of the Blood types.

Two-letter combinations starting with A:

• aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an ao ap aq ar as at au av aw ax ay az

A. This letter of ours corresponds to the first symbol in the Phoenician alphabet and in almost all its descendants. In Phoenician, a, like the symbols for e and for o, did not represent a vowel, but a breathing; the vowels originally were not represented by any symbol. When the alphabet was adopted by the Greeks it was not very well fitted to represent the sounds of their language. The breathings which were not required in Greek were accordingly employed to represent some of the vowel sounds, other vowels, like i and u, being represented by an adaptation of the symbols for the semi-vowels y and w. The Phoenician name, which must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew Aleph, was taken over by the Greeks in the form Alpha (alpsa). The earliest authority for this, as for the names of the other Greek letters, is the grammatical drama (grammatike Ieoria) of Callias, an earlier contemporary of Euripides, from whose works four trimeters, containing the names of all the Greek letters, are preserved in Athenaeus x. 453 d.

The form of the letter has varied considerably. In the earliest of the Phoenician, Aramaic and Greek inscriptions (the oldest Phoenician dating about 1000 B.C., the oldest Aramaic from the 8th, and the oldest Greek from the 8th or 7th century B.C.) A rests upon its side thus -- @. In the Greek alphabet of later times it generally resembles the modern capital letter, but many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening of one leg, or by the angle at which the cross line is set-- @, &c. From the Greeks of the west the alphabet was borrowed by the Romans and from them has passed to the other nations of western Europe. In the earliest Latin inscriptions, such as the inscription found in the excavation of the Roman Forum in 1899, or that on a golden fibula found at Praeneste in 1886 (see Alphabet). Fine letters are still identical in form with those of the western Greeks. Latin develops early various forms, which are comparatively rare in Greek, as @, or unknown, as @. Except possibly Faliscan, the other dialects of Italy did not borrow their alphabet directly from the western Greeks as the Romans did, but received it at second hand through the Etruscans. In Oscan, where the writing of early inscriptions is no less careful than in Latin, the A takes the form @, to which the nearest parallels are found in north Greece (Boeotia, Locris, and Thessaly, and there only sporadically) .

In Greek the symbol was used for both the long and the short sound, as in English father (a) and German Ratte a; English, except in dialects, has no sound corresponding precisely to the Greek short a, which, so far as can be ascertained, was a mid-back-wide sound, according to the terminology of H. Sweet (Primer of Phonetics, p. 107). Throughout the history of Greek the short sound remained practically unchanged. On the other hand, the long sound of a in the Attic and Ionic dialects passed into an open e-sound, which in the Ionic alphabet was represented by the same symbol as the original e-sound. The vowel sounds vary from language to language, and the a symbol has, in consequence, to represent in many cases sounds which are not identical with the Greek a whether long or short, and also to represent several different vowel sounds in the same language. Thus the Oxford English Dictionary distinguishes about twelve separate vowel sounds, which are represented by a in English.

In general it may be said that the chief changes which affect the a-sound in different languages arise from (1) rounding, (2) fronting, i.e. changing from a sound produced far back in the mouth to a sound produced farther forward. The rounding is often produced by combination with rounded consonants (as in English was, wall, &c.), the rounding of the preceding consonant being continued into the formation of the vowel sound. Rounding has also been produced by a following l-sound, as in the English fall, small, bald, &c. (see Sweet's History of English Sounds, 2nd ed., sec. sec. 906, 784). The effect of fronting is seen in the Ionic and Attic dialects of Greek, where the original name of the Medes, Madoi, with a in the first syllable (which survives in Cypriot Greek as Madoi), is changed into Medoi (Medoi), with an open e-sound instead of the earlier a. In the later history of Greek this sound is steadily narrowed till it becomes identical with i (as in English seed). The first part of the process has been almost repeated by literary English, a (ah) passing into e (eh), though in present-day pronunciation the sound has developed further into a diphthongal ei except before r, as in hare (Sweet, op. cit. sec. 783).

In English a represents unaccented forms of several words, e.g. an (one), of, have, he, and or various prefixes the history of which is given in detail in the Oxford English Dictionary.

As a symbol the letter is used in various connexions and for various technical purposes, e.g. for a note in music, for the first of the seven dominical letters (this use is derived from its being the first of the litterae nundinales at Rome), and generally as a sign of priority.

In Shipping, A1 is a symbol used to denote quality of construction and material. In the various shipping registers ships are classed and given a rating after an official examination, and assigned a classification mark, which appears in addition to other particulars in those registers after the name of the ship. See Shipbuilding. It is popularly used to indicate the highest degree of excellence.

The above is from an original text from 1911 EB.

A, an

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A and an function primarily as the indefinite forms of the grammatical article in the English language.

An is the older form, now used only before words starting with a vowel sound (and sometimes words beginning with an H sound in an unstressed syllable as in an historic event, but this usage is fading).

Indeed, the N has wandered back and forth between words beginning with vowels over the history of the language, where sometimes it would be a nuncle and is now an uncle. The Oxford English Dictionary gives such examples as smot hym on the hede with a nege tool from 1448 for smote him on the head with an edge tool and a nox for an ox and a napple for an apple. Sometimes the change has been permanent. For example, a newt was once an ewt (earlier euft and eft), a nickname was once an eke-name, where eke means "extra" (as in eke out meaning "add to"), and in the other direction, an orange was once a norange.

In addition to serving as an article, a and an are also used as synonyms for the number one, as in "make a wish", "a hundred". An is an older spelling of "one".

A and an are also used to express a proportional relationship, such as "a dollar a day" or "$50 an ounce".

Adenine

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Adenine is one of the purine basess used in forming nucleotides of DNA and RNA.

Adenine forms adenosine, a nucleoside, when attached to ribose and deoxyadenosine when attached to deoxyribose, and it forms Adenosine triphosphate, a nucleotide, when one or more phosphate group is added to adenosine. Adenosine triphosphate is used in all known cellular metabolisms as one of the basic methods of transferring chemical energy between reactions.

History

The Albanian alphabet was the result of an evolutionary process of several different versions. The first major attempt at forming an Albanian alphabet was made by Naum Veqilharxhi in 1824 who wanted Albanians to have their own alphabet and not be influences by Greek and Arabic ones. He formed a 33-letter alphabet from Latin alphabets and called it Evetor. This alphabet was mainly used in southern Albania. Other variants of the time included a Catholic alphabet used by Arbëreshë (Italo-Albanians), an Arabic one favored by the pashas, and the Istanbul one created by Sami Frashëri based on the Latin script with certain Greek characters. The latter became widely used as it was also adopted by the Istanbul Society for the Printing of Albanian Writings, which in 1879 printed Alfabetare, the first ABC. Another variant similar to the Istanbul one, Bashkimi, was developed by the Albanian literary society Bashkimi (The Union) in Shkodër with the help of Catholic clergy and Franciscans that aimed to be simpler. Yet another version, Agimi, was developed by another literary society called Agimi (The Dawn) and spearheaded by Ndre Mjeda in 1901.

In November 1908, an alphabet Congress was held in Monastir. It aimed to unify Albanians behind one alphabet and some prominent delegates included Midhat Frashëri, Sotir Peçi, Shahin Kolonja, and Gjergj D. Kyrias. There was much debate and the contending alphabets were Istanbul, Bashkimi, and Agimi. However, the Congress was unable to make a clear decision and opted for a compromise solution of using both the widely used Istanbul one and a new Latin one.

During 1909 and 1910 there were movements by Young Turks supporters to adopt an Arabic script alphabet as they considered the Latin script to be against religious law and Islam. In Korçë and Gjirokastër demonstrations took place favoring the Latin alphabet, whereas in Elbasan a demonstration for the Arabic alphabet took place led by muslim clerics (hoxhas) that told muslims they would be infidels if they used the Latin script.

In 1911, the Young Turks dropped their opposition to the Latin script and finally the adoption of a revised Bashkimi alphabet that is still used today took place. Both Ghegs in the northern Albania and Tosks in the south adopted the alphabet though their respective dialects of Albanian differ somewhat.

Algebraic number

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

An algebraic number is any real or complex number that is a solution of a polynomial equation of the form

a_nxⁿ + a_n-1x^n-1 + ... + a₁x¹ + a₀ = 0

where n > 0 and every a_i is an integer, and a_n is nonzero.

All rational numbers are algebraic because every fraction a / b is a solution of bx - a = 0. Some irrational numbers such as 2^1/2 (the square root of 2) and 3^1/3/2 (the cube root of 3 divided by 2) are also algebraic because they are the solutions of x² - 2 = 0 and 8x³ - 3 = 0, respectively. But not all real numbers are algebraic. Examples of this are &pi and e. If a complex number is not an algebraic number then it is called a transcendental number.

If an algebraic number satisifies such an equation as given above with a polynomial of degree n and not such an equation with a lower degree, then the number is said to be an algebraic number of degree n.

The sum, difference, product and quotient of two algebraic numbers is again algebraic, and the algebraic numbers therefore form a field. It can be shown that if we allow the coefficients a_i to be any algebraic numbers then every solution of the equation will again be an algebraic number. This can be rephrased by saying that the field of algebraic numbers is algebraically closed. In fact, it is the smallest algebraically closed field containing the rationals, and is therefore called the algebraic closure of the rationals.

All numbers which can be written starting from the rationals using only the arithmetical operations +,-,*,/ and square roots, cube roots etc. are algebraic. The converse however is not true: there are algebraic numbers which cannot be written in this manner. All of these numbers have degree ≥ 5. This is a result of Galois theory.

An algebraic number which satisfies a polynomial equation of degree n as above with a_n = 1 is called an algebraic integer. Examples of algebraic integers are 3×2^1/2 + 5 and 6i - 2. The sum, difference and product of algebraic integers are again algebraic integers, which means that the algebraic integers form a ring. The name algebraic integer comes from the fact that the only rational numbers which are algebraic integers are the integers.

Both the notions of algebraic number and algebraic integer may be usefully generalized to fields other than the complex numbers; see algebraic extension and integral closure.

Ampere

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In physics, the ampere (symbol: A, often informally abbreviated to amp) is the SI base unit used to measure electrical currentss. By definition, 1 ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2x10^-7 newton per meter of length.

The ampere is named after André-Marie Ampère, one of the main discoverers of electromagnetism.

The unit of electric charge, the coulomb, is defined in terms of the ampere: 1 coulomb is the amount of electric charge carried in a current of 1 ampere flowing for 1 second. (By SI standards, 1 coulomb per second is actually equal to 0.999835 ampere.)

ATTAC

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens (ATTAC - Association pour la Taxation des Transactions pour l'Aide aux Citoyens) is an activist organization for the establishment of a tax on exchange transactions.

Originally a single-issue movement demanding the introduction of the so-called Tobin tax on currency-speculation, ATTAC now devotes itself to a wide range of issues related to globalization, monitoring the decisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). ATTAC attends the meetings of the G8 with the goal of influencing policymakers' decisions.

Though ATTAC criticizes the neoliberal ideology dominating economic globalization, it is not "anti-globalization". It supports globalization policies that are sustainable and socially just. One of ATTAC's slogans is "The World is not merchandise", denouncing the merchandization of society.

Organizational History and Background

In December 1997, Ignacio Ramonet wrote in Le Monde diplomatique, an editorial in which he advocated for the establishment of the Tobin tax and the creation of an organization to pressure governments around the world to introduce the tax. ATTAC was created on June 3, 1998, during a constitutive assembly in France. While it was founded in France it now exists in over forty countries around the world. In France, politicians from the left and the right are members of the association.

ATTAC functions on a principle of decentralization: local associations organize meetings, conferences, and compose documents that become counter-arguments to the neoliberal discourse. ATTAC aims to formalize the possibility of an alternative to the neoliberal society that is currently required of globalization. ATTAC aspires to be a movement of popular education.

Critics say that ATTAC constitutes an identity-based reactionary group and that, contrary to that which ATTAC affirms, it does not speak in the name of the poorest. Another criticism is that ATTAC promotes policies that are in reality plain protectionism of the developed countries against the Third World, be it in agriculture or in industry, and thus will prevent the Third World from developing itself through trade.

The main issues covered by ATTAC today are:

• Democratic control of financial markets (e.g. Tobin tax)
• Fair instead of "free" trade ( WTO, IMF, Worldbank, EU, NAFTA, FTAA, G8)
• Social security systems (it is against privatization of pensions and of the health system)
• Against tax evasion (tax havens, TNCs)
• Sustainable globalisation

In France, ATTAC associates with many other left-wing causes.

ATTAC supports José Bové.

Chessboard

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The board used in the game of chess consists of eight rows and eight columns of squares arranged in alternating colors. The colors are called "black" and "white", although the actual colors are usually dark green and buff for boards used in competition, and often natural shades of light and dark woods for home boards. Some play sets may use red and black, which is also used for checkers.

The board is always placed so that the rightmost square on the row nearest each player is a "white" square.

In modern commentary, the columns (called files) are labeled by the letters a to h from left to right from the white player's point of view, and the rows (called ranks) by the numbers 1 to 8 from the white player's point of view, thus providing a standard notation called Algebraic chess notation.

In older English commentary, the files are labeled by the piece originally occupying its first rank, and ranks by the numbers 1 to 8 from each player's point of view, depending on the move being described. This is called English chess notation, and is no longer commonly used.

At the start of the game, the pieces are arranged in ranks 1 and 2 as follows:

Rank 1 contains rook, knight, bishop, queen, king, bishop, knight, and rook in this order from left to right. The three pieces on the Queen's side are called "queen's rook", "queen's knight" etc., and the other pieces are "king's rook", "king's bishop", etc. Rank 2 contains eight pawnss. Black's pieces on ranks 7 and 8 are a mirror image of white's. In particular, both kings share the same file (file e), as do both queens (on file d). This is often remembered by noting that each queen sits on a square of her own color.

The image at the top of this page is a graphical representation of this starting position, with the files and ranks labeled. By convention, diagrams display the starting position of the white pieces at the bottom of the board.

Poker jargon starting with A

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Poker jargon:

A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H - I - J - K - L - M - N - O - P - Q - R - S - T - U - V - W - X - Y - Z

; A-B-C, A-B-C-D

1. A sequence of the lowest cards in a lowball game. For example, the hand 8-6-3-2-A might be called an "eight-six-a-b-c".

2. Uncreative or predictable play. He's an a-b-c player.

; Able, Baker, Charlie

First, second, and third player to the left of the dealer, respectively. From the pre-1954 U.S. Navy radio alphabet.

; ace-to-five, ace-to-six

Methods of evaluating low hands. See ace-to-five lowball, ace-to-six lowball.

; aces and spaces

A hand with one pair of aces, and nothing else. Used derogatorily, especially in games such as seven-card stud, where two pair is a typical winning hand.

; action

1. A player's turn to act. The action is on you.

2. A willingness to gamble. I'll give you action or There's plenty of action in this game
3. A bet, along with all the calls of that bet. For example, if one player makes a $5 bet and three other players call, he is said to have $5 "in action", and to have received $15 worth of action on his bet. Usually this term comes into play when figuring side pots when one or players is all in. See table stakes.

; action button

A marker similar to a kill button, on which a player places an extra forced bet. Typically in a stud game, a player is required to post an amount representing a completion of the bring-in to a full bet. For example, in a stud game with $2 and $4 betting limits and a $1 bring-in, a player with the action button must post $2; after the cards are dealt, the player with the low card must still pay the $1 bring-in, then when the betting reaches the player who posted the $2, he is required to leave it in as a raise of the bring-in (and has the option to raise further). Players in between the bring-in and the action button can just call the bring-in, but they know ahead of time that they will be raised by the action button.

; action player

Euphemism for a less skillful player who bets and calls frequently with inferior hands.

; add-on

In a live game, to buy more chips before you have busted. In tournament play, a single rebuy for which all players are eligible regardless of their stack size. This is usually allowed only once, at the end of the rebuy period.

; advertising

To make an obvious play or expose cards in such a way as to deliberately convey an impression to your opponents about your style of play. For example, to make a bad play or bluff to give the impression that you bluff frequently (hoping opponents will then call your legitimate bets) or to show only good hands to give the impression that you rarely bluff (hoping opponents with then fold when you do).

; age

The player immediately to the dealer (or button)'s left; so called because he is the player who received the first card during the initial deal. Also "eldest hand".

; aggression

Proactive betting and raising. See aggression (poker).

; air

In a lowball game, "giving air" is letting an opponent who might otherwise fold know that you intend to draw one or more cards to induce him to call.

; all in

Having bet one's entire stake. See table stakes.

; all blue/all pink

A flush, "blue" usually referring to black suits and "pink" to red ones. Occasionally one hears "all green" or "all purple".

; alternate straight

Skip straight. See non-standard poker hands.

; ammo, ammunition

Chips in play. I'm going to need more ammo for this game. Compare to "fire".

; angle

A technically legal, but borderline unethical, play. For example, deliberately miscalling one's own hand to induce a fold, or placing odd amounts of chips in the pot to confuse opponents about whether you mean to call or raise. A player employing such tactics is called an "angle shooter".

; ante

Once meaning a first-round bet, now a type of forced bet before cards are dealt. See ante (poker).

; ante off

In tournament play, to force an absent player to continue paying antes. blinds, bring-ins, or other forced bets so that the contest remains fair to the other players. Go ahead and take that phone call. We'll ante you off until you get back. Also "blind off".

Retinol

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Retinol, the most useful form of vitamin A, (along with retinal and retinoic acid) is a fat-soluble vitamin important in vision and bone growth. It is sometimes used in the treatment of severe acne. As can be seen from the structure, this is a compound synthesized from isoprene.

A deficiency of vitamin A is not only disease causing, but it can kill. On the other hand, overdoses of vitamin A are also lethal. The livers of certain animals, especially those adapted to polar environments, often contain amounts of vitamin A that would be toxic to humans. The first documented death due to vitamin A poisioning was Xavier Mertz, a Swiss scientist who died in January 1913 on an Antarctic expedition that had lost its food supplies and fell to eating its sled dogs. Mertz consumed lethal amounts of vitamin A by eating sled dog liver. The liver of the polar bear also has enough vitamin A to kill a human being.

Deficiency of Vitamin A can cause night-blindness, pale, dry skin. Vitamin A is found in Carrot, Spinach, Milk and Egg. Vitamin A gets destroyed at about 40 degree centigrade, hence these foods must be consumed raw in order to avail maximum benefit.

	A 10 year-old white girl is pictured here with her father in a swimming pool. She was diagnosed at age three with a form of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) that did not respond to therapy. She is presently in long-term remission after an experimental bone marrow transplant was performed. She now suffers from chronic GVH (Graft Versus Host Disease) which is rare. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).		Six-step sequence of the death of a cancer cell. A cancer cell has migrated through the holes of a matrix coated membrane from the top to the bottom, simulating natural migration of a invading cancer cell between, and sometimes through, the vascular endothelium. Notice the spikes or pseudopodia that are characteristic of an invading cancer cell (1). A buffy coat containing red blood cells, lymphocytes and macrophages is added to the bottom of the membrane. A group of macrophages identify the cancer cell as foreign matter and start to stick to the cancer cell, which still has its spikes (2). Macrophages begin to fuse with, and inject its toxins into, the cancer cell. The cell starts rounding up and loses its spikes (3). As the macrophage cell becomes smooth (4). The cancer cell appears lumpy in the last stage before it dies. These lumps are actually the macrophages fused within the cancer cell (5). The cancer cell then loses its morphology, shrinks up and dies (6). Photo magnification: 1: x12,000; 2: x4,000; 3: x8,000; 4: x26,000; 5: x56,000; 6: x14,000. Credit: Susan Arnold (photographer).
