Cast nets are fishing nets used in shallow water for recreational fishing. They have been used for thousands of years and are of historical interest. The net is a circle with weighted edges and is attached to a line for retrieval. Cast nets are difficult to handle and prone to tangling, but can be enjoyable […]
Net tonnage is a measure of a ship’s cargo space, not weight, and is calculated based on volume. The International Maritime Organization established rules for net tonnage in 1982, which have been ratified by at least 86 nations. Calculating net tonnage is complex and takes into account factors such as the ship’s length, depth, and […]
The net worth of Americans doubled from 1983 to 2010, except for those aged 29-37 who saw a 21% decline due to the Great Recession. Younger Americans had higher mortgage and student loan debt, making it harder to save for the future. Americans under 35 paid off 29% of their debts from 2007 to 2010. […]
US household net worth dropped from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010, with those only having a high school education losing the most wealth. 74.9% of households had debt in 2010, but debt levels and credit card use had declined since 2007. Income levels played a key role in net worth, with the top […]
Network marketing distributors sell products for MLM companies, and can earn money by recruiting others to do the same. They are self-employed and responsible for their own taxes and benefits. A network marketing distributor is an independent representative of a network marketing company. Network marketing, also known as multi-level marketing or MLM, employs a marketing […]
Net purchases are total sales minus discounts, returns, and rebates, reported at the top of the income statement. Low net purchases may indicate significant discounts or slow economic periods, while high returns may suggest falsely increased sales. Companies track net purchases to ensure they don’t significantly hurt overall sales and profits. Net purchases represent total […]
Grid connections allow for the distribution and consumption of electricity between power plants, transmission grids, distribution grids, and homes/businesses. Buses are used to facilitate connections, which can be bi-directional or uni-directional. Distribution networks use step-down transformers to lower voltage for shorter distances. Bi-directional connections in distributed generation contexts require additional controls. A grid connection is […]
Net Promoter is a simple metric that measures a company’s customer relationships by asking customers whether they would recommend the business to a friend or colleague. The score ranges from 0 to 100, with 50 or more considered successful. However, some experts question its validity and uniqueness. Net Promoter is a business management tool and […]
Grid protectors prevent reverse power flow in interconnected power systems. They consist of circuit breakers, relay configurations, and housing mechanisms, and are used in underground power distribution networks. Secondary power distribution networks have interlaced networks powered by multiple energy sources, and the mains protector connects the multi-phase power bus to the mains. The relay monitors […]
Pipe network analysis calculates fluid flows and pressure drops in complex piping systems, important for utilities supplying water or gas. It uses iterative methods and software packages to modify and upgrade systems, with the Hardy Cross method as a traditional calculation method. Pipe network analysis is a calculation of fluid flows and pressure drops in […]
.NET certification demonstrates a developer’s skill and can lead to more job opportunities. There are options such as MCSD or MCAD, with different requirements. Exams must be passed, with a fee, and can be found on Microsoft.com. Expired exams can still count towards certification. .NET certification is a credential that a developer or information technology […]
Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohol from total carbs. Sugar alcohols are synthetic sweeteners that cannot be digested and may cause gastrointestinal issues. Low net carb foods assume less impact on blood glucose levels, but reactions vary. Some foods may list zero net carbs even when carbs are present. Certain carbohydrates […]
Ethical hacking, also known as penetration testing, involves authorized hackers using the same methods as black hat hackers to test network security. This helps identify vulnerabilities and prevent real attacks. Network security uses tools and policies to prevent unauthorized access to data or resources. Gray hat hackers work without permission and are considered criminals. The […]
Neural network software simulates and predicts the behavior of biological or organic neural networks. It allows scientists to understand neural systems and conduct hypothetical situations that are unethical or impractical to replicate using live test subjects. Neural network software is computer software used to simulate and predict the behavior of neural networks. Neural networks are […]
A network security policy outlines rules and regulations for computer use and network access, providing information and security while regulating communication between the network and the internet. It also establishes rules for employee behavior and outlines computer security practices for all network users. The policy takes into account threats from outside and inside and is […]
Neural network architecture mimics the biological brain to solve problems by learning from examples and trial and error. It uses nodes and values to process data and can improve problem-solving ability over time. However, it can be unpredictable and requires proper materials to generate satisfactory responses. Neural network architecture uses a process similar to the […]
Network security analysis involves monitoring a computer network for flaws that could allow unauthorized access to sensitive information. This includes testing authentication, firewalls, virus scans, and additional safety measures depending on the context of the network. Keeping security components up to date is crucial. A computer network refers to a number of computers connected to […]
Network resource management involves managing traffic on a network, prioritizing devices and preparing for maintenance. Adaptive controls are necessary to manage changing demand. Training covers programming languages, networking principles, and wireless signal transmission. Certifications are available. Network resource management creates an effective method for processing traffic on a network. Reduce downtime, errors, and other problems […]
A network spy is a computer program that allows remote viewing of another’s computer usage habits, including internet and program usage, keystrokes, chats, and intermittent screenshots. It can be useful for employers, parents, and protecting networks from virus infection. It can also block websites and applications and record all information for future viewing. Real-time remote […]
The Hopfield Neural Network replicates learned patterns of information and is modeled after the human brain. It consists of interconnected units that release energy when their threshold is reached. The network must be taught patterns before it can recognize them, and it can recognize patterns incorrectly. It is used in the study of human memory. […]
