List of Abbreviations
Acronyms and abbreviations have become a must in technical literature to replace extensive names, and are equivalent to a nickname. This list covers many areas, as some acronyms can have different meanings. In the text we have repeated the full form of the abbreviations many times, as we always feel that the reader may have difficulties remembering their meaning.
