c_1pdj21q2vsra | In numismatics, a matrix is an intermediate mould used in the process of manufacturing coins. The use of a matrix lengthens the production of dies, but makes for a gain in consistency. | Matrix (numismatics) |
c_j88705n5omfy | In numismatics, a mule is a coin or medal minted with obverse and reverse designs not normally seen on the same piece. These can be intentional or produced by error. This type of error is highly sought after by collectors, and examples can fetch high prices. The earliest mules are found among ancient Greek and Roman co... | Mule (coin) |
c_l8ixz7vj9h0j | In numismatics, an overstrike describes a situation in which an existing coin rather than a blank is struck with a new design. This practice is now obsolete and generally occurred for two purposes. Overstriking was sometimes done for technical reasons when a first strike is unsatisfactory, or accidentally if the blank ... | Overstrike (numismatics) |
c_31wvxwqtx6ws | In the ancient world, use of overstrikes was not uncommon, since the manufacture of flans was resource consumptive; thus a foreign or outdated coin could be overstruck with less investment than new mintage. Evidence of overstriking appears as early as about 500 BC when coins of Aegina were overstruck by the ancient cit... | Overstrike (numismatics) |
c_h2d4gxuh2l58 | In numismatics, reeded edges are often referred to as "ridged" or "grooved" (American usage), or "milled" (British usage). Some coins, such as United States quarters and dimes, 1 euro, Australian 5, 10, 20 cents, 1 and 2 dollars, as well many other current coins, have reeded edges. One reason for having reeded edges wa... | Reeded edge |
c_wljtcxiqjnag | This practice was made more difficult through the implementation of reeding by Isaac Newton in 1698, during his time as warden of the Royal Mint. Another benefit of certain coins having reeded edges is that it helps the visually impaired identify different coin denominations by sense of touch alone. This dual purpose o... | Reeded edge |
c_lfksprg2arjm | In numismatics, the term "orichalcum" is used to refer to the golden-colored bronze alloy used for the sestertius and dupondius coins. It is considered more valuable than copper, of which the as coin was made. | Orichalcum |
c_v777wsf44fmh | In numismatics, the term Constantinian bronzes denotes the series of bronze coins issued in the Roman Empire in the middle of the 4th century.

c_4gmz6njw1ir3 | In oats, β-glucan makes up the majority of the soluble fibre; however, oat β-glucans do become insoluble above a certain concentration. The total viscosity is determined by the level of solubility, the molecular weight, and the trimer-to-tetramer ratio. The lower the trimer-tetramer ratio, the higher the β-glucan visco... | Oat beta-glucan |
c_mk01boqit590 | In obedience to their instructions, the translators provided no marginal interpretation of the text, but in some 8,500 places a marginal note offers an alternative English wording. The majority of these notes offer a more literal rendering of the original, introduced as "Heb", "Chal" (Chaldee, referring to Aramaic), "G... | King James Bible |
c_9axgezx6n9bx | More commonly, though, they indicate a difference between the literal original language reading and that in the translators' preferred recent Latin versions: Tremellius for the Old Testament, Junius for the Apocrypha, and Beza for the New Testament. At thirteen places in the New Testament a marginal note records a vari... | King James Bible |
c_ns7e4wa2gyc9 | In addition, there were originally some 9,000 scriptural cross-references, in which one text was related to another. Such cross-references had long been common in Latin Bibles, and most of those in the Authorized Version were copied unaltered from this Latin tradition. Consequently the early editions of the KJV retain ... | King James Bible |
c_v9aw4wbl4bre | in the numbering of the Psalms. At the head of each chapter, the translators provided a short précis of its contents, with verse numbers; these are rarely included in complete form in modern editions. Also in obedience to their instructions, the translators indicated 'supplied' words in a different typeface; but there ... | King James Bible |
c_61cm32imugsb | In one verse, 1 John 2:23, an entire clause was printed in roman type (as it had also been in the Great Bible and Bishop's Bible); indicating a reading then primarily derived from the Vulgate, albeit one for which the later editions of Beza had provided a Greek text.

Treatment with LLF580 had beneficial effects on serum lipids, liver fat, and biomarkers of liver injury; with mild to moderate gastrointestinal adverse effe... | FGF21 |
c_vgcz4po5z54t | In object oriented languages type safety is usually intrinsic in the fact that a type system is in place. This is expressed in terms of class definitions. A class essentially defines the structure of the objects derived from it and an API as a contract for handling these objects. Each time a new object is created it wi... | Type soundness |
c_t2fr6q8cvex0 | In object oriented programming, viscosity refers to the ease at which a developer can add design-preserving code to a system. If it is easier to add a hack than it is to add code that fits into the program's design, then the system has high viscosity. If it is easy to add new code to the program while maintaining the d... | Viscosity (programming) |
c_6wj73vwj5e5o | In object relations theory, the paranoid-schizoid position is a state of mind of children, from birth to four or six months of age. Melanie Klein has described the earliest stages of infantile psychic life in terms of a successful completion of development through certain positions. A position, for Klein, is a set of p... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_vbr5cpqahkvt | The earlier more primitive position is the paranoid-schizoid position and if an individual's environment and up-bringing are satisfactory, she or he will progress through the depressive position. The paranoid-schizoid position is considered the state of mind of children from birth to four or six months of age. Although... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_ebk23p723tuu | As one of the originators of Object Relations theory, Klein sees emotions as always related to other people or objects of emotions. Relations during these first months are not to whole objects but only to part objects, such as the breast, the mother's hands, her face etc. Paranoid refers to the central paranoid anxiety... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_lktzlkt1gkw9 | Paranoid anxiety can be understood in terms of anxiety about imminent annihilation and derives from a sense of the destructive or death instinct of the child. In this position before the secure internalisation of a good object to protect the ego, the immature ego deals with its anxiety by splitting off bad feelings and... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_55eln0yqx26j | However, this causes paranoia. Schizoid refers to the central defense mechanism: splitting, the vigilant separation of the good object from the bad object. | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_868x48p14rav | Klein posited that a healthy development implies that the infant has to split its external world, its objects and itself into two categories: good (i.e., gratifying, loved, loving) and bad (i.e. frustrating, hated, persecutory). This splitting makes it possible to introject and identify with the good. In other words: s... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_qkmfkeraa0dq | Later, when the ego has developed sufficiently, the bad can be integrated, and ambivalence and conflict can be tolerated. Later, with greater maturity and the resolution of the depressive position, the ego is able to bring together the good and bad object, which leads to whole object relations. Achieving this involves ... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_2rmwqkl5i01b | Klein described development as proceeding through two phases: the paranoid-schizoid position and the depressive position. In the paranoid-schizoid position, the main anxiety is paranoia and hypochondria, and the fear is for the self. When things are going well, the mother is experienced as an all benign figure. | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_9u8pkls486rr | However, inevitably when needs or desires of the young baby are not immediately met by the mother, because she is not there to fulfill them, the absence of the good object is experienced as the presence of the bad object. The bad object is then hated and attacked in phantasies. The hated frustrating object quickly beco... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_qs7k286vmfpy | This is why the baby feels persecuted, hence the "paranoid" in paranoid schizoid. As well as the bad (aggressive, hateful) parts of the self deriving from the death instinct being projected onto the object, goodness is also projected onto the object. It is easier to see why badness is projected outside the self rather ... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_b83n28zvns5m | It is more difficult to understand why goodness also may be projected out. The reason for this is that when the person does not feel that they can sustain goodness themselves, it is safer to project it into the object. This is the basis for idealisation, and it can be useful in certain situations, e.g. idealising a sur... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_03e0gqca2cgd | The projection of badness into the object is the basis of racism, homophobia, or any other irrational hatred of another group seen as (but essentially not being) different from the self, e.g. estate agents, liberals, conservatives, cyclists, car drivers, Northerners, Southerners, traffic wardens, etc. Over time the bab... | Paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions |
c_90b439l4rwce | In object-oriented analysis and in UML, an association between two classes represents a collaboration between the classes or their corresponding instances. Associations have direction; for example, a bi-directional association between two classes indicates that both of the classes are aware of their relationship. Assoc... | Partial class |
c_xxfugaz81us6 | Also, a "Magazine" has the "subscribed magazine" role in the same association. Association role multiplicity describes how many instances correspond to each instance of the other class of the association. Common multiplicities are "0..1", "1..1", "1..*" and "0..*", where the "*" specifies any number of instances. | Partial class |
c_lgcx5spk97ht | In object-oriented and functional programming, an immutable object (unchangeable object) is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is created. This is in contrast to a mutable object (changeable object), which can be modified after it is created. In some cases, an object is considered immutable even if some ... | Immutable object |
c_jcvx1i6gxk61 | For example, an object that uses memoization to cache the results of expensive computations could still be considered an immutable object. Strings and other concrete objects are typically expressed as immutable objects to improve readability and runtime efficiency in object-oriented programming. Immutable objects are a... | Immutable object |
c_hyyz1gr573gp | In object-oriented computer programming, a null object is an object with no referenced value or with defined neutral (null) behavior. The null object design pattern, which describes the uses of such objects and their behavior (or lack thereof), was first published as "Void Value" and later in the Pattern Languages of P... | Null Object pattern |
c_k4dm3jed9079 | In object-oriented computer programming, an extension method is a method added to an object after the original object was compiled. The modified object is often a class, a prototype or a type. Extension methods are features of some object-oriented programming languages. | Extension methods |
c_rtndcqb1sn89 | There is no syntactic difference between calling an extension method and calling a method declared in the type definition.Not all languages implement extension methods in an equally safe manner, however. For instance, languages such as C#, Java (via Manifold, Lombok, or Fluent), and Kotlin don't alter the extended clas... | Extension methods |
c_jkhwhzq1ej1e | In object-oriented design, a pattern is a named description of a problem and solution that can be applied in new contexts; ideally, a pattern advises us on how to apply its solution in varying circumstances and considers the forces and trade-offs. Many patterns, given a specific category of problem, guide the assignmen... | GRASP (object-oriented design) |
c_ewzgkr0ejecy | In object-oriented design, the chain-of-responsibility pattern is a behavioral design pattern consisting of a source of command objects and a series of processing objects. Each processing object contains logic that defines the types of command objects that it can handle; the rest are passed to the next processing objec... | Chain-of-responsibility pattern |
c_o92i0ufdzr20 | In some cases, this can occur recursively, with processing objects calling higher-up processing objects with commands that attempt to solve some smaller part of the problem; in this case recursion continues until the command is processed, or the entire tree has been explored. An XML interpreter might work in this manne... | Chain-of-responsibility pattern |
c_mqfqzb64i9lo | The chain-of-responsibility pattern is structurally nearly identical to the decorator pattern, the difference being that for the decorator, all classes handle the request, while for the chain of responsibility, exactly one of the classes in the chain handles the request. This is a strict definition of the Responsibilit... | Chain-of-responsibility pattern |
c_lq4kvomfzbq2 | In object-oriented design, the dependency inversion principle is a specific methodology for loosely coupled software modules. When following this principle, the conventional dependency relationships established from high-level, policy-setting modules to low-level, dependency modules are reversed, thus rendering high-le... | Dependency inversion principle |
c_hdzlvgk9qkuy | In object-oriented programming (OOP), an inner class or nested class is a class declared entirely within the body of another class or interface. It is distinguished from a subclass. | Inner class |
c_3q0s93ai2j6r | In object-oriented programming (OOP), an instance is a concrete occurrence of any object, existing usually during the runtime of a computer program. Formally, "instance" is synonymous with "object" as they are each a particular value (realization), and these may be called an instance object; "instance" emphasizes the d... | Class instance |
c_t1ytpg3hsml8 | Each realized variation of that object is an instance of its class. That is, it is a member of a given class that has specified values rather than variables. In a non-programming context, you could think of "dog" as a type and your particular dog as an instance of that class.In class-based programming, objects are crea... | Class instance |
c_bvjbzts1td9b | An object is an instance of a class as it can access to all data types(primitive as well as non primitive), and methods etc, of a class. Therefore, objects may be called a class instances or class objects. | Class instance |
c_idecroy9ui1n | Object instantiation is known as construction. Not all classes can be instantiated – abstract classes cannot be instantiated, while classes that can be instantiated are called concrete classes. In prototype-based programming, instantiation is instead done by copying (cloning) a prototype instance. | Class instance |
c_1qywa8733hjo | In object-oriented programming (OOP), inheritance describes a relationship between two classes in which one class (the child class) subclasses the parent class. The child inherits methods and attributes of the parent, allowing for shared functionality. For example, one might create a variable class Mammal with features... | Multiple inheritance |
c_xdsg3trgsr6w | In object-oriented programming (OOP), the object lifetime (or life cycle) of an object is the time between an object's creation and its destruction. Rules for object lifetime vary significantly between languages, in some cases between implementations of a given language, and lifetime of a particular object may vary fro... | Object creation |
c_eef9zdmnntx7 | In object-oriented programming languages that do not support higher-order functions, objects can be an effective substitute. An object's methods act in essence like functions, and a method may accept objects as parameters and produce objects as return values. Objects often carry added run-time overhead compared to pure... | Higher order function |
c_cyjrqtumzsey | In object-oriented programming languages that support virtual methods, the compiler will automatically create a dispatch table for each object of a class containing virtual methods. This table is called a virtual method table or vtable, and every call to a virtual method is dispatched through the vtable. | Function table |
c_egzoa3mzlil4 | In object-oriented programming languages where namespaces are incompletely supported, the singleton pattern may be used instead of static members within a non-instantiable class. | Module pattern |
c_lsjmpmif9eny | In object-oriented programming languages with garbage collection, object resurrection is when an object comes back to life during the process of object destruction, as a side effect of a finalizer being executed. Object resurrection causes a number of problems, particularly that the possibility of object resurrection –... | Object resurrection |
c_0t89nqdva4ba | In object-oriented programming languages, and other related fields, encapsulation refers to one of two related but distinct notions, and sometimes to the combination thereof: A language mechanism for restricting direct access to some of the object's components. A language construct that facilitates the bundling of data... | Encapsulation (object-oriented programming) |
c_n8ynv9wcuzty | In object-oriented programming languages, dynamic compilers are particularly good candidates for performing escape analysis. In traditional static compilation, method overriding can make escape analysis impossible, as any called method might be overridden by a version that allows a pointer to escape. Dynamic compilers ... | Escape analysis |
c_tu6dgf2ytfau | In object-oriented programming languages, it is possible to use method chaining to simulate named parameters, as a form of fluent interface. Each named-parameter argument is replaced with a method on an "arguments" object that modifies and then returns the object. In C++, this is termed the named parameter idiom. The o... | Named parameters |
c_f1r3a3exw9ql | In object-oriented programming theory, abstraction involves the facility to define objects that represent abstract "actors" that can perform work, report on and change their state, and "communicate" with other objects in the system. The term encapsulation refers to the hiding of state details, but extending the concept... | Data abstraction |
c_pnw74ecj5z88 | Various object-oriented programming languages offer similar facilities for abstraction, all to support a general strategy of polymorphism in object-oriented programming, which includes the substitution of one type for another in the same or similar role. Although not as generally supported, a configuration or image or ... | Data abstraction |
c_iq6cvc0n5i7a | Common Lisp Object System or Self, for example, feature less of a class-instance distinction and more use of delegation for polymorphism. Individual objects and functions are abstracted more flexibly to better fit with a shared functional heritage from Lisp. C++ exemplifies another extreme: it relies heavily on templat... | Data abstraction |
c_sl7pgoc34cfk | Although these examples offer alternate strategies for achieving the same abstraction, they do not fundamentally alter the need to support abstract nouns in code – all programming relies on an ability to abstract verbs as functions, nouns as data structures, and either as processes. Consider for example a sample Java f... | Data abstraction |
c_nvn15qps0h71 | If one requires a more differentiated hierarchy of animals – to differentiate, say, those who provide milk from those who provide nothing except meat at the end of their lives – that is an intermediary level of abstraction, probably DairyAnimal (cows, goats) who would eat foods suitable to giving good milk, and MeatAni... | Data abstraction |
c_oxojujy5tab5 | These facilities tend to vary drastically between languages, but in general each can achieve anything that is possible with any of the others. A great many operation overloads, data type by data type, can have the same effect at compile-time as any degree of inheritance or other means to achieve polymorphism. The class... | Data abstraction |
c_p6zl6welo2nv | In object-oriented programming, "data clump" is a name given to any group of variables which are passed around together (in a clump) throughout various parts of the program. A data clump, like other code smells, can indicate deeper problems with the program design or implementation. The group of variables that typicall... | Data Clump (Code Smell) |
c_19cyzfxp9xec | In object-oriented programming, a class implementation file is often used to contain the implementation code for the method(s) of a class. Programming languages like C and C++ make use of these implementation files so as to separate the interface and implementation of these methods. | Method body |
c_4kshof3edhvo | In object-oriented programming, a class is an extensible program-code-template for creating objects, providing initial values for state (member variables) and implementations of behavior (member functions or methods). In many languages, the class name is used as the name for the class (the template itself), the name fo... | Partial classes |
c_tmjro5oj5t0c | When an object is created by a constructor of the class, the resulting object is called an instance of the class, and the member variables specific to the object are called instance variables, to contrast with the class variables shared across the class. In certain languages, classes are, as a matter of fact, only a co... | Partial classes |
c_re1ycoyshhi7 | In object-oriented programming, a constructor is code that is run when an object is created. Default constructors of objects are usually nullary. | Nullary constructor |
c_mgfmh6zkwmoz | In object-oriented programming, a covariant return type of a method is one that can be replaced by a "narrower" type when the method is overridden in a subclass. A notable language in which this is a fairly common paradigm is C++. C# supports return type covariance as of version 9.0. Covariant return types have been (p... | Covariant return type |
c_efeznfgfkefr | The relationship between the two covariant return types is usually one which allows substitution of the one type with the other, following the Liskov substitution principle. This usually implies that the return types of the overriding methods will be subtypes of the return type of the overridden method. The above examp... | Covariant return type |
c_cyshk6csvdhy | In object-oriented programming, a factory is an object for creating other objects; formally, it is a function or method that returns objects of a varying prototype or class from some method call, which is assumed to be "new". More broadly, a subroutine that returns a "new" object may be referred to as a "factory", as i... | Factory object |
c_bj5yb0etn22e | In object-oriented programming, a friend function, that is a "friend" of a given class, is a function that is given the same access as methods to private and protected data.A friend function is declared by the class that is granting access, so friend functions are part of the class interface, like methods. Friend funct... | Friend function |
c_ciaug3libcop | In object-oriented programming, a god object (sometimes also called an omniscient or all-knowing object) is an object that references a large number of distinct types, has too many unrelated or uncategorized methods, or some combination of both. The god object is an example of an anti-pattern and a code smell. | God object |
c_69og9eewz6iz | In object-oriented programming, a helper class is used to assist in providing some functionality, which isn't the main goal of the application or class in which it is used. An instance of a helper class is called a helper object (for example, in the delegation pattern). Helper classes are often created in introductory ... | Helper class |
c_1fl3yf7vlapd | A utility class is a special case of a helper class in which the methods are all static. In general, helper classes do not have to have all static methods, but may have instance variables. Multiple instances of the helper class may exist as well. | Helper class |
c_kmv7rr7fvsy5 | In object-oriented programming, a member variable (sometimes called a member field) is a variable that is associated with a specific object, and accessible for all its methods (member functions). In class-based programming languages, these are distinguished into two types: class variables (also called static member var... | Member variable |
c_3864aqpsxfso | In object-oriented programming, a metaclass is a class whose instances are classes. Just as an ordinary class defines the behavior of certain objects, a metaclass defines the behavior of certain classes and their instances. Not all object-oriented programming languages support metaclasses. | Meta class |
c_jozrwwuz3bxt | Among those that do, the extent to which metaclasses can override any given aspect of class behavior varies. Metaclasses can be implemented by having classes be first-class citizens, in which case a metaclass is simply an object that constructs classes. Each language has its own metaobject protocol, a set of rules that... | Meta class |
