{i} programming language that encourages the use of well-constructed and understandable patterns (Computers); (French) first name; family name; Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French philosopher and mathematician, founder of modern probability theory
Computer programming language named for Blaise Pascal and based partly on ALGOL. It was developed by Niklaus Wirth of Zurich's Federal Institute of Technology in the late 1960s as an educational tool for systematic teaching of programming, with fast, reliable compilers. It was made available to the public in 1974 and was used by many universities for the next 15 years. Pascal strongly influenced languages developed later, such as Ada. Complex data structures and algorithms can be described concisely by Pascal, and its programs are easy to read and debug. Unit of pressure, abbreviated Pa, in the International System of Units. Named for Blaise Pascal, the unit is a pressure of one newton per square meter (1 N/m^2). It is inconveniently small for many purposes, and the kilopascal (kPa), 1,000 N/m^2, is more commonly used in engineering work (1 lb per sq in. equals 6.895 kPa). Pascal's law Pascal's principle Pascal's wager Pascal Blaise
Unit of atmospheric pressure named in honor of Blaise Pascal (1632-1662), whose experiments greatly increased knowledge of the atmosphere A Pascal is the force of one Newton acting on a surface area of one square meter It is the unit of pressure designated by the International System 100,000 Pa = 1000 mb = 1 bar See atmospheric pressure, millibar
a programing language designed to teach programming through a top-down modular approach French mathematician and philosopher and Jansenist; invented an adding machine; contributed (with Fermat) to the theory of probability (1623-1662) a unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter
SI unit of pressure defined as the pressure which applied on a plane area of one square metre, exerts perpendicularly at this surface a total force of one newton
A high-level programming language that is structured to encourage efficient programming habits (documentation) and is used extensively in educational institutions and engineering environments
A high-level programming language widely used in such academic disciplines as computer sciences and engineering Pascal instructions are simple to express and impose structure upon programming logic
Unit of pressure (N/m2) Not capitalized unless abbreviated PCB Printed Circuit Board Peanut scale Rubber scale FF event developed by Walt Mooney in which wingspan is generally limited to 13 inches maximum
The SI (Standard International)unit of pressure equal to the pressure resulting from a force of one Newton acting over an area of one square meter perihelion: opposite of aphelion The point where the earth is nearest to the sun (147 million kilometers) while in its orbit Currently, this occurs on January 3, but varies when there is a leap year permafrost: layer of soil or bedrock beneath earth's surface that is permanently frozen and has been for thousands of years pH scale: a measure of the range of acidity and alkalinity of a substance, on a scale from 0-14, with acids being on the lower end and bases on the higher end A value of 7 is neutral precipitation: any form of water particles that fall from the clouds and reach the ground Examples are rain, snow, sleet, and hail Fog, dew, frost, and clouds are not forms of precipitation psychrometer: instrument used to measure the water vapor content of the air
A unit of pressure One pascal (Pa) is a pressure equal to a force of one Newton (0 1kg) applied over an area of one square metre Pascals have replaced the Imperial Inches water gauge (1 inch of water = 249Pa)
