mercury in the long limb of the tube to a height
proportioned to that pressure. A more common form,
especially for high pressures, consists of a spring
pressed upon by the steam, and connected with the pointer

and producing sound in the manner of an organ pipe or a
common whistle.

staircasing
/jag'eez/ (Or "staircase") The "staircase" effect
observable when an edge (especially a linear edge of very
shallow or steep slope) is rendered on a bitmap display (as

pronounced when a bitmap image or text in a bitmap font is
enlarged. Outline fonts and anti-aliasing are two
techniques used to solve this problem with text.

camelcasing
(jargon) | camelCasing
See PascalCasing.
|
pascalcasing
(jargon) | PascalCasing
The practice of marking all word boundaries in long identifiers (such as
ThisIsASampleVariable) (including the first letter of the identifier) with
uppercase. Constrasts with camelCasing, in which the first character of the
identifier is left in lowercase (thisIsASampleVariable), and with the
traditional C style of short all-lower-case names with internal word breaks
marked by an underscore (sample_var).
Where these terms are used, they usually go with advice to use PascalCasing
for public interfaces and camelCasing for private ones. They may have
originated at Microsoft, but are in more general use in ECMA standards,
among Java programmers, and elsewhere.
