Unreferenced date December 2009 Indirect selfreference describes an object selfreference referring to itself indirectly . For example, define the function f such that f x x x . Any function passed as an argument to f is invoked with itself as an argument, and thus in any use of that argument is indirectly referring to itself. This example is similar to the Scheme programming language Scheme expression lambda x x x lambda x x x , which is expanded to itself by beta reduction, and so its evaluation loops indefinitely despite the lack of explicit looping constructs. An equivalent example can be formulated in lambda calculus . Indirect selfreference is special in that its self referential quality is not explicit, as it is in the sentence this sentence is false. The phrase this sentence refers directly to the sentence as a whole. An indirectly self referential sentence would replace the phrase this sentence with an expression that effectively still referred to the sentence, but did not use the pronoun this. An example will help to explain this. Suppose we define the quine computing quine of a phrase to be the quotation of the phrase followed by the phrase itself. So, the quine of is a sentence fragment would be is a sentence fragment is a sentence fragment which, incidentally, is a true statement. Now consider the sentence when quined, makes quite a statement when quined, makes quite a statement The quotation here, plus the phrase when quined, indirectly refers to the entire sentence.

A reference group is a concept referring to a Group sociology group to which an individual or another group is compared. Sociologists call any group that individuals use as a standard for evaluating themselves and their own behavior a reference group. Reference groups are used in order to evaluate and determine the nature of a given individual or other group s characteristics and sociological attributes. It is the group to which the individual relates or aspires to relate himself or herself psychologically. It becomes the individual s frame of reference and source for ordering his or her experiences, perceptions, cognition, and ideas of self. It is important for determining a person s self identity, attitudes, and social ties. It becomes the basis of reference in making comparisons or contrasts and in evaluating one s appearance and performance. Reference groups provide the benchmarks and contrast needed for comparison and evaluation of group and personal characteristics. Robert K.

Cross referencing is usually employed to either verify claims made by an author or to link to another piece of work that is of related interest.

A reference circuit is a hypothetical electric circuit of specified equivalent length and computer configuration configuration , and having a defined transmission characteristic or characteristics, used primarily as a reference for measuring the performance of other, i.e., real, circuits or as a guide for planning and engineering of circuits and networks. Normally, several types of reference circuits are defined, with different configurations, because Telecommunication communications are required over a wide range of distances. Another type of reference circuit shows how to configure integrated circuits into function blocks, which Analog Devices provides for electrical design engineers. Analog Devices Circuits from the Lab reference circuits are fully tested and come with the schematics, evaluation boards, and device drivers necessary for system integration.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A reference collection is a collecting collection of objects maintained for the purpose of study and authentication. Reference collections are generally large undertakings maintained by institutions instead of having a single representative of each object, they will typically have multiples, so as to illustrate variations and, sometimes, provide samples for comparisons. For human created objects such as postage stamp s or coin s, a good reference collection will also include an assortment of carefully labelled fakes and forgeries. Since the purpose is study rather than personal gratification or display, a reference collection values damaged objects as much as the pristine in fact, organizations maintaining reference collections will encourage members to donate their damaged or poor condition items to the collection. In biology , reference collections, such as herbarium herbaria are an important sort of information about variations of populations within a species. They are also the repository of holotype s used as the official definition of species. In philately , reference collections are critical to expertization , since the characteristics differentiating authentic stamps from reprints, fakes, and forgeries are often too subtle to be described verbally.
