    Lying against another part of the plant; when applied to a cotyledon, it means that an edge of the cotyledon lies along the folded radicle in the seed. [8]-aceae Suffix added to the word stem of a generic name to form the name of a taxonomic family; [9] for example, Rosaceae is the rose family, of which the type genus is Rosa. [10] achene

  4. Synonym (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synonym_(database)

    When an application uses a synonym, the DBMS forwards the request to the synonym's underlying base object. By coding your programs to use synonyms instead of database object names, you insulate yourself from any changes in the name, ownership, or object locations, at the cost of adding another layer that also needs to be maintained.

  5. Stratum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum

    Typically, a stratum is generally one of a number of parallel layers that lie one upon another to form enormous thicknesses of strata. [1] The bedding surfaces (bedding planes) that separate strata represent episodic breaks in deposition associated either with periodic erosion, cessation of deposition, or some combination of the two.

    A stable marine layer may then develop over the ocean as a result. As this layer moves over progressively warmer waters, however, turbulence within the marine layer can gradually lift the inversion layer to higher altitudes, and eventually even pierce it, producing thunderstorms, and under the right circumstances, tropical cyclones. The ...

    In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, packet strictly refers to a protocol data unit at layer 3, the network layer. [2] A data unit at layer 2, the data link layer , is a frame . In layer 4, the transport layer , the data units are segments and datagrams .

  8. Texture (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(music)

    For example, a thick texture contains many 'layers' of instruments. One of these layers could be a string section or another brass. The thickness also is changed by the amount and the richness of the instruments playing the piece. The thickness varies from light to thick.

  9. Multitier architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture

    The Data Access layer normally contains an object known as the Data Access Object (DAO). A layer is on top of another, because it depends on it. Every layer can exist without the layers above it, and requires the layers below it to function. Another common view is that layers do not always strictly depend on only the adjacent layer below.
