Free-air gravity anomaly
The Free-Air Gravity Anomaly (FAGA) is a geophysical measurement that represents the difference between the observed gravity and the gravity value that would be expected at a particular elevation above a reference surface, typically the Earth's mean sea level. This measurement helps to identify variations in the Earth's gravitational field that are not due to changes in elevation, such as those caused by geological structures.
G-force
G-force, or gravitational force, refers to the measurement of acceleration felt by an object or person in relation to the acceleration due to gravity. It is often expressed in units of "g," where 1 g is equivalent to the acceleration of gravity at Earth's surface, approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s²). When experiencing G-force, people or objects feel heavier or lighter depending on the direction and magnitude of the acceleration.
Audrey Ruth Briggs
Audrey Ruth Briggs is not a widely recognized figure in public knowledge up to my last update, and there doesn't appear to be significant information available about her in popular media or historical records. If she is a private individual or a figure who has gained recognition after my last training data cut-off in October 2023, I may not have information on her.
Several mathematicians and scholars contributed to the development of Islamic inheritance laws, which are based on the principles outlined in Islamic texts like the Quran and Hadith. One notable figure in this field is **Abu al-Hasan al-Mawardi** (974–1058), who was an Islamic jurist and scholar. He wrote extensively on inheritance laws and their applications within Islamic jurisprudence.

Bernard Rollin is a prominent figure in the fields of animal ethics and veterinary medicine. He is best known for his work on the ethical treatment of animals, particularly in the context of scientific research. Rollin has been influential in advocating for the humane treatment of animals in various settings, including laboratories, farming, and veterinary practice. His contributions extend to the development of ethical guidelines and frameworks for the use of animals in research and education.
CAST-256
CAST-256 is a symmetric key block cipher that was designed by Carlisle Adams and Stafford Tavares. It was developed as part of the CAST encryption algorithm family. CAST-256 operates on 128-bit blocks of data and supports variable key lengths of up to 256 bits. Key features of CAST-256 include: 1. **Block Size**: It processes data in 128-bit blocks.
CJCSG
CJCSG could refer to a few different things depending on the context. However, one common interpretation is that it stands for **Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Group**. This group is typically involved in military planning and coordination among the various branches of the armed forces in the United States.
CRYPTON
As of my last update in October 2023, "CRYPTON" can refer to a few different things depending on the context. Here are some possible meanings: 1. **Crypton (Cryptocurrency)**: Crypton is a digital currency that may operate on its own blockchain or be part of a specific blockchain ecosystem. It is often associated with decentralized finance (DeFi) or other blockchain applications.
Certification on demand
"Certification on Demand" typically refers to a service or program that allows individuals or organizations to obtain certifications quickly and as needed, often without the rigid timelines or requirements of traditional certification programs. Here’s a breakdown of what this concept generally involves: 1. **Flexibility**: Individuals can access certification materials, training, and assessments whenever they need to, often through online platforms. This allows for learning at one's own pace.
GW151226
GW151226 is a significant event in the field of astrophysics, specifically relating to the detection of gravitational waves. It was the second detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and was announced on January 12, 2016. The event occurred on December 26, 2015, and was attributed to the merger of two black holes, with masses estimated to be around 14 and 8 times that of our Sun.
Daniel Gorenstein
Daniel Gorenstein was an American mathematician known for his contributions to group theory and finite groups. He made significant advances in the classification of finite simple groups and was a key figure in the development of the theory surrounding them. Gorenstein's work has had a lasting impact on algebra and mathematical research. He also authored several papers and books during his career, enhancing the understanding of group structures.
ALPAC
ALPAC, short for the Automatic Language Processing Advisory Committee, was a committee established by the U.S. government in the 1960s to evaluate the progress and potential of machine translation (MT) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies. The committee concluded that the quality of machine translation systems was insufficient for practical applications, leading to a decrease in funding and interest in MT research for several years.
Blocks world
The Blocks World is a classic problem in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics, often used to illustrate concepts in planning, problem-solving, and algorithms. The scenario typically involves a set of blocks that can be stacked on top of each other in a two-dimensional space, usually represented as a table or a surface. In a typical Blocks World scenario: 1. **Blocks**: There are various blocks, often distinguished by color or size.
Conceptual dependency theory
Conceptual Dependency Theory is a model developed in the 1970s by Roger Schank as part of his work in artificial intelligence and natural language processing. The theory aims to represent the meaning of sentences in a structured and consistent way by focusing on the underlying concepts rather than the specific words used.
The 15th century was a period of significant transition in Europe, marked by the Renaissance, which revived interest in classical knowledge, including that of ancient Greek mathematicians. While the most prominent figures in Greek mathematics, like Euclid, Archimedes, and Ptolemy, lived much earlier (in classical antiquity), there were mathematicians in the Byzantine Empire (which was the center of Greek culture and scholarship during the 15th century) who contributed to the transmission of this knowledge.
Carl F. Craver
Carl F. Craver is a philosopher of science, particularly known for his work in the philosophy of neuroscience and the philosophy of biology. He has contributed significantly to discussions surrounding scientific explanation, the nature of mechanisms in biological systems, and the relationship between neuroscience and psychology. Craver's research often involves examining how scientific practices inform our understanding of mental states and cognitive processes, and he seeks to clarify the conceptual frameworks that underpin scientific inquiry in these fields.
Crab (cipher)
CRAB (Cipher and Related Addressing Block) is a type of symmetric key block cipher designed for secure data encryption. It was developed to be lightweight and efficient, particularly suitable for resource-constrained environments such as embedded systems or Internet of Things (IoT) devices. CRAB typically emphasizes key characteristics such as: 1. **Simplicity**: The algorithm is designed to be easy to implement in hardware and software.
Cryptographic Quarterly
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, "Cryptographic Quarterly" doesn't refer to a widely recognized publication or journal in the field of cryptography. It's possible that it could be a smaller, less well-known journal, a newsletter, or something that has come into existence after that date.
Cryptography newsgroups
Cryptography newsgroups are online discussion forums that focus on topics related to cryptography, cryptographic protocols, algorithms, and security practices. These newsgroups serve as platforms for researchers, practitioners, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in discussing various aspects of cryptography. Typically, users can post questions, share information, and discuss recent developments in the field of cryptography.
