Zara had an IS department located in La Coruña consisting of only 50 people‚ they had no chief information officer or a formal process for setting the IT budget. The department’s responsibility was simply to support all Inditex stores worldwide from that location and develop the applications used in the company. The IT employees weren’t even needed in the process of opening a new store because all it required was a packet of floppy disks that were simply copied to the point-of-sale terminals and

1. When a router is first powered on‚ it completes a four-step initialization process: 1. Preforming a power-on self test (POST) 2. Loading a bootstrap program 3. Loading an IOS 4. Loading a configuration file The last three of these steps require the router to copy the files into RAM. Normally‚ most routers load an IOS image that is stored in flash memory and an initial configuration stored in NVRAM. 2. Routers use the following logic‚ in order‚ to attempt to load an IOS: 1. Load

recent changes to using EEPROM technology. In a personal computer‚ the CMOS is mainly used to store settings for the BIOS‚ and to retain the settings a CMOS battery is used. Due to the very small size of data needed to store BIOS settings CMOS has been evolving since it was first created. At first the CMOS utilized RAM‚ which required a slow trickle of power to keep data (BIOS settings) stored and safe. This method required the use of a CMOS battery; typically a CR2032 battery was used. These

chip or one of the chipset chips. The information stored in CMOS is required by your computer’s Basic Input/Output System‚ or BIOS. The system BIOS is stored in a 64K by 8 bit wide ROM on the System Board. If the System BIOS was actually accessed from this ROM during normal operation the PC’s speed would be greatly reduced. This is overcome by copying the contents of the BIOS ROM into some RAM where it is accessed 32 or 64 bits at a time‚ at far greater

Population Genetics of the Alu Insertion on the PV92 region of Chromosome 16 Abstract: PCR is a laboratory method used to amplify a small‚ specifically targeted‚ amount of DNA. It has three steps‚ the denaturing of the template DNA‚ the annealing of the primers to the DNA templates and the extension of the new DNA by Taq DNA polymerase. The Alu insert on the PV92 region of chromosome 16 is targeted and its frequency is measured according to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the Vanier HTK population

Lu Feng BIO 182 Hillary Emick Plant Adaptation Pinus halepensis‚ commonly known as the Aleppo Pine‚ is a pine native to the Mediterranean region. In dessert‚ water is limited for plants to grow up. Pinus halepensis has plans for water management. The leaves are very slender‚ 6–12 cm (2.4–4.7 in) long‚ distinctly yellowish green and produced in pairs (rarely a few in threes).1 The needle-shaped leaves exposed area minimizes the amount of moisture lost to breezes and the sunlight. The needle-shaped

Russia had enough chemical weapons to wipeout most animal and plant life on earth. Biological weapons were deployed in various ways to gain strategic or tactical advantage over an advisory. The United States developed an anti-crop capability that used bio-herbicides or myco-herbicides to destroy enemy agriculture. Fisheries and water-based vegetation was also targeted. Wheat blast and rice blast were weaoponized in aerial tanks and cluster bombs to deliver to enemy water sheds. Even though herbicides
