resolution
(foldoc) | resolution
1. the maximum number of pixels that can be
displayed on a monitor, expressed as (number of horizontal
pixels) x (number of vertical pixels), i.e., 1024x768. The
ratio of horizontal to vertical resolution is usually 4:3, the
same as that of conventional television sets.
2. A mechanical method for proving statements of
first order logic, introduced by J. A. Robinson in 1965.
Resolution is applied to two clauses in a sentence. It
eliminates, by unification, a literal that occurs
"positive" in one and "negative" in the other to produce a new
clause, the resolvent.
For example, given the sentence:
(man(X) => mortal(X)) AND man(socrates).
The literal "man(X)" is "negative". The literal
"man(socrates)" could be considered to be on the right hand
side of the degenerate implication
True => man(socrates)
and is therefore "positive". The two literals can be unified
by the binding X = socrates.
The truth table for the implication function is
A | B | A => B
--+---+-------
F | F | T
F | T | T
T | F | F
T | T | T
(The implication only fails if its premise is true but its
conclusion is false). From this we can see that
A => B == (NOT A) OR B
Which is why the left hand side of the implication is said to
be negative and the right positive. The sentence above could
thus be written
((NOT man(socrates)) OR mortal(socrates))
AND
man(socrates)
Distributing the AND over the OR gives
((NOT man(socrates)) AND man(socrates))
OR
mortal(socrates) AND man(socrates)
And since (NOT A) AND A == False, and False OR A == A we can
simplify to just
mortal(socrates) AND man(socrates)
So we have proved the new literal, mortal(socrates).
Resolution with backtracking is the basic control mechanism
of Prolog.

RESOLUTION
(bouvier) | RESOLUTION. A solemn judgment or decision of a court. This word is
frequently used in this sense, in Coke and some of the more ancient
reporters. It also signifies an agreement to a law or other thing adopted by
a legislature or popular assembly. Vide Dict. de Jurisp. h.t.
|
RESOLUTION
(bouvier) | RESOLUTION, Civil law. The act by which a contract which existed and was
good, is rendered null.
2. Resolution differs essentially from rescission. The former
presupposes the contract to have been valid, and it is owing to a cause
posterior to the agreement that the resolution takes place; while
rescission, on the contrary, supposes that some vice or defect annulled the
contract from the beginning. Resolution may be by consent of the parties or
by the decision of a competent tribunal; rescission must always be by the
judgment of a court. 7 Troplong, de la Vente, n. 689; 7 Toull. 551; Dall.

high-resolution mass spectrometer
(gcide) | mass spectrometer \mass spectrometer\ n. (Physics, Chemistry)
An analytical instrument which determines the mass of
molecules of a substance or fragments of its molecules. It
functions by injecting ionized moecules or molecular
gragments into a vacuum chamber subjected to a strong
magnetic field, in which charged particles move in a curved
trajectory.
Note: The mass is determined by observing the path of the
molecule after being charged and accelerated in a
magnetic field. The path of the ionic fragment depends
on the charge, velocity, and mass. Several techniques
of charging and detection are employed. The mass
information is usually used to infer structure or
chemical composition of the substance analyzed.
Variants of mass spectrometer called {high-resolution
mass spectrometer} permit determination of the mass of
a molecule or molecular fragment with sufficient
precision to unambiguously determine the atomic
composition.

address resolution
(foldoc) | address resolution
Conversion of an Internet address into the
corresponding physical address (Ethernet address). This is
usually done using Address Resolution Protocol.
The resolver is a library routine and a set of processes
which converts hostnames into Internet addresses, though
this process in not usually referred to as resolution. See
DNS.

address resolution protocol
(foldoc) | Address Resolution Protocol
ARP
(ARP) A method for finding a host's
Ethernet address from its Internet address. The sender
broadcasts an ARP packet containing the Internet address
of another host and waits for it (or some other host) to send
back its Ethernet address. Each host maintains a cache of
address translations to reduce delay and loading. ARP allows
the Internet address to be independent of the Ethernet address
but it only works if all hosts support it.
ARP is defined in RFC 826.
The alternative for hosts that do not do ARP is {constant
mapping}.
See also proxy ARP, reverse ARP.

(foldoc) | Apple Address Resolution Protocol
AARP
(AARP) Apple's system to allow AppleTalk
protocol to work over networks other than LocalTalk, such
as Ethernet or Token Ring. AppleTalk nodes announce
their presence to the network so that other nodes can address
messages to them. AARP maps between AppleTalk addresses and
other schemes. It is actually a general address mapping
protocol that can be used to map between addresses at any
protocol level.

Addison Wesley, 1990].

InARP
(InARP) Additions to ARP typically
used for Frame Relay. [Any other examples of its use?]
Frame Relay stations route frames of a higher level
protocol between LANs, across a Permanent Virtual Circuit.
These stations are identified by their {Data Link Control
Identifier} (DLCI), equivalent to an Ethernet address in a
LAN itself.
InARP allows a station to determine a protocol address (e.g.
IP address) from a DLCI. This is useful if a new {virtual
circuit} becomes available. Signalling messages announce its
DLCI, but without the corresponding protocol address it is
unusable: no frames can be routed to it.
Reverse ARP (RARP) performs a similar task on an Ethernet
LAN, however RARP answers the question "What is my IP
Address?" whereas InARP answers the question "What is your
protocol address?".
See RFC 2390.

The process of mapping a name into its
corresponding address.
The Domain Name System is the system which does name
resolution on the Internet.

resolution
(foldoc) | resolution
1. the maximum number of pixels that can be
displayed on a monitor, expressed as (number of horizontal
pixels) x (number of vertical pixels), i.e., 1024x768. The
ratio of horizontal to vertical resolution is usually 4:3, the
same as that of conventional television sets.
2. A mechanical method for proving statements of
first order logic, introduced by J. A. Robinson in 1965.
Resolution is applied to two clauses in a sentence. It
eliminates, by unification, a literal that occurs
"positive" in one and "negative" in the other to produce a new
clause, the resolvent.
For example, given the sentence:
(man(X) => mortal(X)) AND man(socrates).
The literal "man(X)" is "negative". The literal
"man(socrates)" could be considered to be on the right hand
side of the degenerate implication
True => man(socrates)
and is therefore "positive". The two literals can be unified
by the binding X = socrates.
The truth table for the implication function is
A | B | A => B
--+---+-------
F | F | T
F | T | T
T | F | F
T | T | T
(The implication only fails if its premise is true but its
conclusion is false). From this we can see that
A => B == (NOT A) OR B
Which is why the left hand side of the implication is said to
be negative and the right positive. The sentence above could
thus be written
((NOT man(socrates)) OR mortal(socrates))
AND
man(socrates)
Distributing the AND over the OR gives
((NOT man(socrates)) AND man(socrates))
OR
mortal(socrates) AND man(socrates)
And since (NOT A) AND A == False, and False OR A == A we can
simplify to just
mortal(socrates) AND man(socrates)
So we have proved the new literal, mortal(socrates).
Resolution with backtracking is the basic control mechanism
of Prolog.

3. address resolution.

RARP
Reverse ARP
(RARP) A protocol defined in {RFC
903} which provides the reverse function of ARP. RARP maps
a hardware address (MAC address) to an IP address.
It is used primarily by diskless nodes, when they first
initialise, to find their IP address.
See also BOOTP.

sld resolution
(foldoc) | SLD resolution
(Selected, Linear, Definite) {Linear
resolution} with a selection function for {definite
sentences}.
A definite sentence has exactly one positive literal in each
clause and this literal is selected to be resolved upon,
i.e. replaced in the goal clause by the conjunction of
negative literals which form the body of the clause.
[Why is SLD resolution important?]
