| | The Problem With Block Scheduling |
| | Block scheduling might be an interesting experiment for school officials, but students don't have a time machine to go back when the experiment fails. | | | One report, "Block Schedules and Student Performance on AP Examinations," was published in Research Notes (RN-03) by the College Board's office of research and development in May 1998. | | | The study was not designed to evaluate block scheduling, but the impact of block scheduling was unmistakable in the data. |

| | Block Ciphers |
| | The input data is padded out to a multiple of the block size, broken into a integer number of blocks, each of which is encrypted independently using the key. | | | To do this, CBC is run repeatedly on the input data, and all the ciphertext is discarded except for the last block, which will depend on all the data blocks in the message. | | | This last block becomes the output of the hash function. |

| | Visual formatting model |
| | The initial containing block cannot be positioned or floated (i.e., user agents ignore the 'position' and 'float' properties for the root element). | | | This property specifies the base writing direction of blocks and the direction of embeddings and overrides (see 'unicode-bidi') for the Unicode bidirectional algorithm. | | | There is at most one viewport per canvas, but user agents may render to more than one canvas (i.e., provide different views of the same document). |

| | Block Stacker Tutorial |
| | This is the number of pixels by which the block stack extends to the right of the table. | | | The tutorial will help you understand the concept of center of gravity as it applies to block stacking, and it will help you understand the counter-intuitive fact that the stack of blocks can be made to extend arbitrarily far beyond the edge of the table. | | | This results in the center of gravity of the block being just beyond the edge of the table. |
