    • Hierarchy
    • Connectivity and Hierarchical Connectivity
  • General Constructs
    • API Forms
    • Utility Layer
  • Advanced Features
    • Parameterized Designs
    • Namespaces and Name Mapping
    • Place-and-Route Constructs
    • Timing and Parasitic Constructs
    • Occurrence Models and Logical/Physical Mapping
    • Interface to Configuration management
    • Extensibility
  • Technology Data

Famous quotes containing the words major, features and/or specific:

    “Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
    —Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)

    “However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
