memory locality domain. An abstract representation of physical memory, used within the IRIX operating system. An MLD is a source for memory allocation having a prescribed type of memory locality, for example, the two nodes in one corner of a hypercube can yield memory that is close to either node.

Two tilings are called mld (mutually locally derivable), if one is obtained from the other in a unique way by local rules, and vice versa. For example, a tiling by Penrose Rhomb is obtained from a Robinson Triangle tiling easily: just delete the shortest and longest edges, keeping only the medium ones yields the Penrose Rhomb tiling; and vice versa: in a Penrose Rhomb tiling, add in each fat rhomb the long diagonal, and in each thin rhomb add the short diagonal. This gives again the Robinson Triangle tiling.

Market Linked Deposit. A market linked deposit is a form of deposit account (usually a time deposit) where the interest rate paid on the funds in the account is linked to the interest rates prevailing in a chosen market. When interest rates rise, so does the return on the deposit. If they fall, the interest rate paid remains at the rate being paid when the account was opened.
