The Phatic Function can be observed in greetings and casual discussions of the weather, particularly with strangers.

In Roman Jakobson's work, ' Phatic ' communication is that which concerns the channel of communication, for instance when one says " I can't hear you, you're breaking up " in the middle of a cell phone conversation.

A Bootstrapping Server Function ( BSF ) is an intermediary element in cellular networks which provides application independent functions for mutual authentication of user equipment and servers unknown to each other and for ' bootstrapping ' the exchange of secret session keys afterwards.

In 2000, Hart became a member of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to seek to establish new knowledge and develop more effective therapies which awaken, stimulate and heal through the extraordinary power of music – continuing his investigation into the connection between healing and rhythm, and the neural basis of rhythm.

* Function and target: A computer programming language is a language used to write computer programs, which involve a computer performing some kind of computation or algorithm and possibly control external devices such as printers, disk drives, robots, and so on.

Newer formats such as State Logic and Function Block ( which is similar to the way logic is depicted when using digital integrated logic circuits ) exist, but they are still not as popular as ladder logic.

A graphical programming notation called Sequential Function Charts is available on certain programmable controllers.

Although catalysis of the peptide bond involves the C2 hydroxyl of RNA's P-site ( see Function section below ) adenosine in a protein shuttle mechanism, other steps in protein synthesis ( such as translocation ) are caused by changes in protein conformations. Since their catalytic core is made of RNA, ribosomes are classified as " ribozymes ," and it is thought that they might be remnants of the RNA world.

* W ( a ) if a is algebraic and nonzero, for any branch of the Lambert W Function ( by the Lindemann – Weierstrass theorem ).

The IBME also developed the UNB Test of Prosthetic Function which is used by researchers all over the world.

Function is the optical Lagrangian from which the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian ( as in Hamiltonian mechanics ) formulations of geometrical optics may be derived.

* Service Switching Function ( SSF ) or Service Switching Point ( SSP ) This is co-located with the telephone exchange itself, and acts as the trigger point for further services to be invoked during a call.

* Service Control Function ( SCF ) or Service Control Point ( SCP ) This is a separate set of platforms that receive queries from the SSP.

* Service Data Function ( SDF ) or Service Data Point ( SDP ) This is a database that contains additional subscriber data, or other data required to process a call.

* Service Management Function ( SMF ) or Service Management Point ( SMP ) This is a platform or cluster of platforms that operators use to monitor and manage the IN services.

* Specialized Resource Function ( SRF ) or Intelligent Peripheral ( IP ) This is a node which can connect to both the SSP and the SCP and delivers additional special resources into the call, mostly related to voice data, for example play voice announcements or collect DTMF tones from the user.

* The Expressive ( alternatively called " emotive " or " affective ") Function relates to the Addresser and is best exemplified by interjections and other sound changes that do not alter the denotative meaning of an utterance but do add information about the Addresser's ( speaker's ) internal state, e. g. " Wow, what a view!

* The Conative Function engages the Addressee directly and is best illustrated by vocatives and imperatives, e. g. " Tom!

* The Poetic Function focuses on " the message for its own sake " and is the operative function in poetry as well as slogans.

* The Metalingual ( alternatively called " metalinguistic " or " reflexive ") Function is the use of language ( what Jakobson calls " Code ") to discuss or describe itself.

However, note that depending on the language and the function, NaNs can silently be removed in expressions that would give a constant result for all other floating-point values e. g. NaN ^ 0, which may be defined as 1, so in general a later test for a set INVALID flag is needed to detect all cases where NaNs are introduced ( see section Function definition below for further details ).

* Function is defined for all.

In his paper " The Function of an International Auxiliary Language ", he argued for the benefits of a regular grammar and advocated a critical focus on the fundamentals of language, unbiased by the idiosyncrasies of national languages, in the choice of an international auxiliary language.

* Function ( language ), in linguistics, a way of achieving an aim using language

Function calls and blocks of code, such as code contained within a loop, are often replaced by a one-line natural language sentence.

A standardized control programming language, IEC 61131-3 ( a suite of 5 programming languages including Function Block, Ladder, Structured Text, Sequence Function Charts and Instruction List ), is frequently used to create programs which run on these RTUs and PLCs.

An assembly language SFL ( System Function Language ) is also available.

* FP ( programming language ), short for Function Programming.

# ( How ) Process Function Specification – expressed in a technology specific language, hierarchical process elements are related by process calls

FP ( short for Function Programming ) is a programming language created by John Backus to support the function-level programming paradigm.

* SFL ( programming language ), or System Function Language, of the ICL VME operating system

The latest version ( 2. 21 ) is dated 2008 and implements a large subset of xBase commands and functions, and the capability of writing UDFs ( User Defined Function ) to be integrated in the language.

IDEF0 ( Integration Definition for Function Modeling ) is a function modeling methodology for describing manufacturing functions, which offers a functional modeling language for the analysis, development, reengineering, and integration of information systems ; business processes ; or software engineering analysis.

See Naive set theory, Axiomatic set theory, and Function for definitions concerning sets and functions.

* Kuhn, T. " A Function for Thought Experiments ", in The Essential Tension ( Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979 ), pp. 240 –

* Function, where is the set of all complex numbers, is defined for all x.

* Function is defined for all

See the " Function details " below for more details on < tt > setuid </ tt >, < tt > setgid </ tt > and < tt > sticky </ tt > bits

The other nine units in ENIAC were the Initiating Unit ( which started and stopped the machine ), the Cycling Unit ( used for synchronizing the other units ), the Master Programmer ( which controlled " loop " sequencing ), the Reader ( which controlled an IBM punched card reader ), the Printer ( which controlled an IBM punched card punch ), the Constant Transmitter, and three Function Tables.

SNA was made public as part of IBM's " Advanced Function for Communications " announcement in September, 1974, which included the implementation of the SNA / SDLC ( Synchronous Data Link Control ) protocols on new communications products:

* Stochastic Green Function, a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of lattice Hamiltonians

Thus there came about the research for " Le problème de Cauchy pour les équations différentielles d ' un fluide général "; the idea that Prof. Hironaka called " the Nash blowing-up transformation "; and those of " Arc Structure of Singularities " and " Analyticity of Solutions of Implicit Function Problems with Analytic Data ".

In the 1980s, he won three consecutive British Academy of Film and Television Arts ( BAFTA ) awards – Best Supporting Actor for Trading Places as Dan Aykroyd's kindly butler, A Private Function, and Defence of the Realm – as well as an Academy Award nomination for A Room with a View.

Sacks ' work at Beth Abraham helped provide the foundation on which the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function ( IMNF ) is built ; Sacks is currently an honorary medical advisor.
