ideal gas law constant ( ideal gas constant; universal gas constant)
(R) A constant R equal to PV/(nT) for ideal gases , where the pressure, volume, moles, and temperature of the gas are P, V, n, and T, respectively. The value and units of R depend on the units of P, V, and T. Commonly used values and units of R include: 82.055 cm3 atm K-1 mol-1; 0.082055 L atm mol-1 K-1; 8.31434 J mol-1 K-1; 1.9872 cal K-1 mol-1; 8314.34 L Pa mol-1 K-1; 8.31434 Pa m3 mol-1 K-1.

A lightly trilled or rolled "r". If you can't trill with the tip of your tongue, just do a flap (or even a regular English r will be understood), but don't gargle the "r", or it'll sound like a gh. Note that your friendly sound-pronouncer for these pages does a rotten job of rolling r's. Don't let that stop you from doing it right, nor should you worry about not doing it perfectly. Notably, Marc Okrand, the creator of the language, doesn't roll his r's consistently on the audio tapes he made.

Caron
A caron ( ˇ ) or háček (pronounced ; ), also known as a wedge, inverted circumflex, inverted hat, is a diacritic placed over certain letters to indicate present or historical palatalization, iotation, or postalveolar pronunciation in the orthography of some Baltic, Slavic, Finno-Lappic, and other languages.

Carriage return
Originally, carriage return was the term for the control character in Baudot code on a teletypewriter for end of line return to beginning of line and did not include line feed. Later it was used for a mechanism or lever on a typewriter that would cause the cylinder on which the paper was held (the carriage) to return to the left side of the paper after a line of text had been typed, and would usually move the paper to the next line as well. The first power carriage return was added to electric typewriters by Smith Corona in 1960. The key for this was usually labelled "carriage return" or "return". To improve the keyboard for non-English-speakers, the symbol was introduced to mark this key, since this graphic could communicate the action of the key without using words.

D-
D- means:
- Placed before a U.S. state, usually in parentheses, indicates the person it applies to is a Democratic Party politician of that state. "R-" is used for the Republican Party.
- An academic grade given by certain institutions. Slightly better than an F+ and slightly worse than a D. See Grade (education).

Hyperreal number
The system of hyperreal numbers represents a rigorous method of treating the ideas about infinite and infinitesimal numbers that had been used casually by mathematicians, scientists, and engineers ever since the invention of calculus by Newton and Leibniz. The hyperreals, or nonstandard reals (usually denoted as *R), denote an ordered field which is a proper extension of the ordered field of real numbers R and which satisfies the transfer principle. This principle allows true first order statements about R to be reinterpreted as true first order statements about *R.

R++
R++ is a rule-based programming language based on C++. The United States patent describes R++ as follows:
- The R++ extension permits rules to be defined as members of C++ classes. The programming system of the invention takes the classes with rules defined using R++ and generates C++ code from them in which the machinery required for the rules is implemented completely as C++ data members and functions of the classes involved in the rules.

R.
- For the letter of the alphabet, see R. For the album by R. Kelly, see R. (album).
It is often seen written as "R. v Defendant" which would be read as "the Crown versus the Defendant".
In jurisdictions that are republics, there is no Monarch and no one person embodies the state, so the prosecuting party is not any individual but rather either the State in and of itself, or (in some locations) the state on the behalf of the people it governs. An example of the former would be federal criminal cases in the United States (such as, for instance, the murder of persons in a building owned or operated by the United States government), which being prosecuted by the United States federal government would be termed United States v Defendant. On the other hand, most U.S. states, when prosecuting an offense, typically couch their case in terms of representing the people of the state, so if John Doe robbed a bank in Detroit, the case would be referred to as the People of the State of Michigan v John Doe.

Trademark
For other senses of this word, see Trademark (disambiguation).
A trademark or trade mark is a distinctive sign or indicator of some kind which is used by an individual, business organization or other legal entity to uniquely identify the source of its products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities. A trademark is a type of intellectual property, and typically comprises a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol, design, image, or a combination of these elements. There is also a range of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into these standard categories.| See more at Wikipedia.org... |
