(AE) An embeddable language, written as a C interpreter by Brian Bliss at UIUC. AE is compiled with an application and thus exists in the same process and address space. It includes a dbx symbol table scanner to access compiled variables and routines, or you can enter them manually by providing a type/ name declaration and the address. When the interpreter is invoked, source code fragments are read from the input stream (or a string), parsed, and evaluated immediately. The user can call compiled functions in addition to a few built-in intrinsics, declare new data types and data objects, etc. Different input streams can be evaluated in parallel on Alliant computers.
AE has been ported to SunOS (cc or gcc), Alliant FX and Cray YMP (soon). (1992-04-21)

Aedeagus (n.) 插入器（學名：aedeagus），又名交尾刺、中葉突，陽莖器等，是雄性節肢動物 （主要是昆蟲）的生殖器，與雌性動物交配時通過插入器來分泌由睪丸產生的精子。這個器官可以類比哺乳類動物的陰莖，儘管插入器的構造其實更為複雜。部分昆蟲的插入器有莢包裹，就好像陰莖的包皮那樣，但不叫「陰莖」，而是叫作「陽莖」。
An aedeagus (plural aedeagi) is a reproductive organ of male arthropods through which they secrete sperm from the testesduring copulation with a female. Very loosely, it can be thought of as the insect equivalent of a mammal's penis, though the matter is actually more complex.
The aedeagus is part of the male's abdomen, which is the hindmost of the three major body sections of an insect. The pair of testes of the insect are connected to the aedeagus through the genital ducts. The aedeagus is part of the male insect's phallus, a complex and often species-specific arrangement of more or less sclerotized (hardened) flaps and hooks which also includes in some species the valvae (clasper), which are paired organs which help the male hold on to the female during copulation. During copulation, the aedeagus connects with the ovipore of a female. The aedeagus can be quite pronounced or de minimis.
The base of the aedeagus may be the partially sclerotized phallotheca, also called the phallosoma or theca. In some species the phallotheca contains a space, called the endosoma (internal holding pouch), into which the tip end of the aedeagus may be withdrawn (retracted). The vas deferens is sometimes drawn into (folded into) the phallotheca together with a seminal vesicle. [1] [2]
The sperm of arthropods is not passed to the female as liquid with free-swimming spermatozoa, but contains capsules called spermatophores in which the actual spermatozoa are enclosed. In addition to the spermatophores, in some species the aedeagus also discharges a spermatophylax, a ball of nutritious secretions to aid the female in producing offspring.
In males of most species of Lepidoptera, the aedeagus has a sheath which is supported by an organ called the juxta, which is located between the aforementioned valvae.
Aedeagus (n.) (Entomology) In insects: the male copulatory or sperm-depositing organ; an insect phallus or (typically) part of it, especially the distal portion.
Origin
Mid 19th century; earliest use found in The Zoologist: a miscellany of natural history. From scientific Latin aedeagus from ancient Greek αἰδοῖα genitals, plural of αἰδοῖον, use as noun of neuter of αἰδοῖος having a claim to regard, reverence, or compassion (from αἰδώς shame, respect, reverence +-ιος, suffix forming adjectives) + ἀγός leader from ἄγειν to lead.
