The beep test program‚ also known as the bleep test program contains a wide range of names. Generally‚ it is most referred to as the Multi-stage Fitness test. No matter the name this test is basically a standardized assessment of someone’s fitness levels. It is a very simple program‚ but extremely powerful test‚ which allows you to determine/estimate your maximum oxygen intake (VO2 Max) capacity. After then‚ you can benchmark yourself against the best fitness needs for your sport. Actually‚ it is

The Power On Self Test When the system is powered on‚ the BIOS will perform diagnostics and initialize system components‚ including the video system. (This is self-evident when the screen first flicks before the Video Card header is displayed). This is commonly referred as POST (Power-On Self Test). Afterwards‚ the computer will proceed its final boot-up stage by calling the operating system. Just before that‚ the user may interrupt to have access to SETUP. To allow the user to alter the CMOS

Computer Memory Basics Although memory is technically any form of electronic storage‚ it is used most often to identify fast‚ temporary forms of storage. If your computer’s CPU had to constantly access the hard drive to retrieve every piece of data it needs‚ it would operate very slowly. When the information is kept in memory‚ the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms of memory are intended to store data temporarily. As you can see in the diagram above‚ the CPU accesses memory according

local communities. Why important Startups‚ small businesses and accelerators are critical pistons in the engine of job creation; there are a few who would argue with that. However‚ research from the Kauffman Foundation puts into perspective just how important they are. It suggests that‚ between 1980 and 2005‚ all net job growth emanated from companies fewer than five-years-old. When it comes to how to best reverse an economic downturn‚ about the only thing you might find politicians agreeing on

Introduction to Measurements & Error Analysis The Uncertainty of Measurements Some numerical statements are exact: Mary has 3 brothers‚ and 2 + 2 = 4. However‚ all measurements have some degree of uncertainty that may come from a variety of sources. The process of evaluating this uncertainty associated with a measurement result is often called uncertainty analysis or error analysis. The complete statement of a measured value should include an estimate of the level of confidence associated

Memory and Human Error Abstract The concept of human memory is yet to be completely understood with scientists still disputing the many theories and models. Undoubtedly‚ it is impossible to rule out human error completely; however‚ by adopting appropriate procedures the probability of errors can be minimized. This essay investigates the scientific studies of human memory and how empirical findings can be implemented to reduce human error at work. This paper arrives at the conclusion that four

A. VOLATILE MEMORY Volatile memory‚ also known as volatile storage‚ is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information‚ unlike non-volatile memory which does not require a maintained power supply. It has been less popularly known as term Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge‚ the information eventually fades unless the capacitor

using cold and warm What is the difference between cold and warm booting? COLD BOOT (a.k.a. COLD START) - Booting up from power off condition. WARM BOOT (a.k.a. WARM START)- Restarting the computer WITHOUT turning the power off. Shutdown option in the START menu of windows 9x/2K/XP has a "Restart" option: this is a "warm boot". You perform a cold boot every time you turn on the power switch of your computer. To "boot" the computer means to start it up and reset the memory and BIOS. Pressing
