Glossary
A glossary (from , ''glossa''; language, speech, wording), also known as a vocabulary or clavis, is an alphabetical list of Term (language), terms in a particular domain of knowledge with the definitions for those terms. Traditionally, a glossary appears at the end of a book and includes terms within that book that are either newly introduced, uncommon, or specialized. While glossaries are most commonly associated with non-fiction books, in some cases, fiction novels sometimes include a glossary for unfamiliar terms. A bilingual glossary is a list of terms in one language defined in a second language or Gloss (annotation), glossed by synonyms (or at least near-synonyms) in another language. In a general sense, a glossary contains explanations of concepts relevant to a certain field of study or action. In this sense, the term is related to the notion of ontology. Automatic methods have been also provided that transform a glossary into an ontology or a computational lexicon. C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Reeve Aleutian Airways
Reeve Aleutian Airways was an airline headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, Anchorage, Alaska, United States. It ceased operations on December 5, 2000. Reeve Aleutian was named, possibly as a pun on the word revolution, by combining founder Robert Campbell Reeve, Robert C. Reeve's surname and the Aleutian Islands, its primary destination. History Founding In February 1946, Robert Campbell Reeve, Bob Reeve received a call informing him that some ex-USAAF Douglas C-47 Skytrain, C-47s and Douglas DC-3s were for sale (the C-47 being the military version of the DC-3). Reeve bought his first DC-3 for $20,000 with $3,000 down and the balance payable over 3 years. The cost of conversion to civilian standard was quoted at $50,000, but Reeve did the work himself at a cost of $5,000. A strike by sailors on steamships operating between Seattle and Anchorage started on April 6, 1946. Reeve, along with Merritt Boyle and Bill Borland began flying between Seattle and Anchorage, with stops at Jun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dilute Russell's Viper Venom Time
Dilute Russell's viper venom time (dRVVT) is a laboratory test often used for detection of lupus anticoagulant (LA). It is an assessment of the time for blood to clot in the presence of a diluted amount of venom from Russell's viper (''Daboia russelii''), a highly venomous snake native to the Indian subcontinent and named after the herpetologist Patrick Russell. History Russell's viper venom (RVV) was known to clot blood many years ago. It was widely used as a styptic to clot minor wounds when razor blades were more commonly used for shaving (e.g. "Stypven", Burroughs-Wellcome Pharma). RVV came to be useful in laboratory tests for blood clotting factors V, X, prothrombin and phospholipid. It was first used in clotting tests for lupus anticoagulant (LA) in an individual case in 1975. The "dilute Russell's viper venom time (dRVVT)" test was then applied in 1985 to detect LA in a large number of patients and it became more widely used for this purpose. This multi-step method invo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Raad Van Vlaanderen
The Council of Flanders (, or RVV) was formed by members of the "activist" or "maximalist" faction of the Flemish Movement in German occupation of Belgium during World War I, German-occupied Belgium on 4 February 1917 with tacit German support. Its founders, who included and August Borms, wanted to realize the independence of Flanders from Belgium using German support provided as part of the ''Flamenpolitik''. The Council originally included 46 members, but eventually expanded to include 93. Despite hopes that the council would be allowed full legislative powers, it never became more than a consultative body. It also suffered from internal factionalism and infighting. Its members were broadly supported by the Germans but were condemned by other ''flamingants'' and the Catholic Church. The Germans subsequently made Flanders and Wallonia separate administrative regions in June 1917. However, the appointment of Georg von Hertling as Chancellor of Germany, German Chancellor in Nov ...
