FSMLs define framework provided abstractions as FSML concepts and decompose the abstractions into features . The features represent implementation steps or choices. A FSML concept can be configured by selecting features and providing values for features. Such a concept configuration represents how the concept should be implemented in the code. In other words, concept configuration describes how the framework should be completed in order to create the implementation of the concept. Applications FSMLs are used in model driven development for creating models or specifications of software to be built.

A language for specific purposes dictionary is a dictionary that intends to describe a variety of one or more languages used by experts within a particular subject field. The discipline that deals with LSP dictionaries is usually called specialised lexicography and is a branch of lexicography . LSP dictionaries and users As described in Bergenholtz Tarp 1995, LSP dictionaries are often made for users who are already specialists with a subject field experts , but may also be made for semi experts and for users who may be laypeople relative to a particular subject field. In contrast to LSP dictionaries, LGP l anguage for g eneric p urposes dictionaries are made to be used by an average user. LSP dictionaries may have one or more functions. LSP dictionaries may have communicative functions such as help users to translate texts, help users to understand texts and help users to produce texts. Dictionaries may also have cognitive functions such as help users to develop knowledge in general or about a specific topic, such as the birthday of a famous person and the inflectional paradigm of a specific verb. Different types of LSP dictionary According to Nielsen 1994, LSP dictionaries may cover one language monolingual LSP dictionaries or two languages bilingual LSP dictionaries , and occasionally more languages. An LSP dictionary that attempts to cover as much of the vocabulary in a subject field as possible is called a maximizing dictionary , and an LSP dictionary that attempts to cover a limited number of terms within a subject field is called a minimizing dictionary . Also, Nielsen 1994 distinguishes between the following types of dictionaries An LSP dictionary that covers more than one subject field is called a multi field dictionary , an LSP dictionary that covers one subject field e.g. a dictionary of law is called a single field dictionary , and an LSP dictionary that covers ... explanation for using Wikipedia to translate subject specific vocabulary Lexicography Category Lexicography ... more details

Refimprove date April 2007 Specific properties of a substance are derived from other intrinsic and extrinsic properties or intensive and extensive properties of that substance. For example, the density of steel a specific and intrinsic property can be derived from measurements of the mass of a steel bar an extrinsic property divided by the volume of the bar another extrinsic property . Similarly, the specific gravity of a liquid is derived from the density of the liquid divided by the density of water two intrinsic properties . Uses of specific properties Reference tables Specific properties are often used in reference tables as a means of recording material data in a manner that is independent of size or mass. This allows the data to be broadly applied while keeping the table compact. Ranking, Classifying, and Comparing Specific properties are useful for making comparisons about one attribute while cancelling out the effect of variations in another attribute. For instance, steel alloys are typically stronger than aluminum alloys but are also much denser. Greater strength allows less metal to be used, which makes the choice between the two metals less than obvious. To simplify the comparison, one would compare the specific strength strength to weight ratio of the two metals. A more everyday example is grocery shopping. The two kilogram package sells for a higher price than the one kilogram package, but what matters is the specific price , commonly called the unit cost cost per kilogram . Mnemonics and Qualitative Reasoning In many instances, specific properties are more intuitive or are easier to remember than the original properties in SI or English units. For instance, it is easier ... squared. It is easy to remember that the specific gravity of water is 1.0 and that something with a higher specific gravity will sink in water.

Specific force is defined as the non gravitational force per unit mass . math mbox Specific Force frac mathrm Force non gravitational mathrm Mass math Specific force also called g force and mass specific force is measured in Metre per second squared meters second m s sup 2 sup which is the units for acceleration. Thus, specific force is not actually a force, but a type of acceleration. However, the mass specific force is not a coordinate acceleration, but rather a proper acceleration , which is the acceleration relative to free fall. Forces, specific forces, and proper acceleration s are the same in all reference frames, but coordinate accelerations are frame dependent. For free bodies, the specific force is the cause of, and a measure of, the body s proper acceleration . The g force acceleration is the same as the specific force. The acceleration of an object free falling towards the earth depends on the reference frame it disappears in the free fall frame, also called the inertial frame , but any g force acceleration will be present in all frames. This specific force is zero for freely falling objects, since gravity acting alone does not produce g forces or specific forces. Accelerometers on the surface of the Earth measure a constant 9.8 m s 2 even when they are not accelerating that is, when they do not undergo coordinate acceleration . This is because accelerometers measure the proper acceleration produced by the g force exerted by the ground gravity acting alone never produces g force or specific force . Accelerometers measure specific force proper acceleration , which is the acceleration relative to free fall, ref www.strapdownassociates.com Accels 20Measure.pdf ref , not the standard acceleration that is relative to a coordinate system.

This is sometimes referred to as unsystematic risk . In a balanced portfolio of assets there d be a spread between general market risk and risks specific to individual components of that portfolio. Determination of the extent of exposure to individual risks is made using models such as Treynor Black model Treynor Black in which the optimal share of a security is inversely proportional to the square of its specific risk. An example would be news that is specific to either one stock or a group of companies, such as the loss of a patent or a major natural disaster affecting the company s operation. Unlike systematic risk or market risk , specific risk can be diversified away.In fact, most unsystematic risk is removed by holding a portfolio of about twenty five to thirty securities.

For example, for every generic interval of a second there are only two possible specific intervals 1 semitone a minor second or 2 semitones a major second . In diatonic set theory a specific interval is the shortest possible clockwise distance between pitch class es on the chromatic circle interval class , in other words the number of half step s between note music notes . The largest specific interval music interval is one less than the number of chromatic pitches. In twelve tone equal temperament the largest specific interval is 11.
