Generally, we expect that supplying more of a product will have a higher marginal cost than the cost of the units previously produced. A typical example is that a farmer needing to grow more wheat will have to use less productive land and more fertilizer than the wheat he has already planted on his best land. But some products have a high cost to produce one unit then very low costs to produce others. A good example is computer software. The first disc may cost $1 million and each further disc 10 cents. Thus marginal unit costs go down dramatically as more product is supplied. The same could be said of bank transactions on an ATM machine: To do one transaction on a new machine may cost them $100,000 but all the others are more like a dime each.
the supply curve for Blu-Ray players has shifted right
If the supply of compact disc players has increased and their prices have dropped, we can expect an increase in consumer demand for these players. Lower prices typically make products more accessible, leading to higher sales volumes. Additionally, this trend may result in greater competition among manufacturers, potentially driving innovation and further reducing prices. Ultimately, this could revitalize interest in compact discs as a format, even in the age of digital streaming.
If the supply of compact disc players has increased over the years and their prices have dropped, it likely indicates a higher production efficiency or a decrease in manufacturing costs. This could lead to greater accessibility for consumers, potentially boosting demand and increasing overall sales volume. However, the decline in price might also reflect a decrease in consumer interest in compact discs due to the rise of digital music platforms, suggesting a shift in market preferences. Ultimately, this scenario illustrates the dynamics of supply and demand in a changing technological landscape.
If you mean in relation to computers - a Local Area Network (LAN) with NO access to the internet is the safest network. Take, for example a UNIX network. Each terminal ONLY has a screen and keyboard, with NO disc drives. All the terminals are connected via a 'server' The only disc access is from a 'supervisors terminal' - therefore - that is the ONLY point at which any thing malicious can be introduced. It's also the only place anyone could copy anything off the network to floppy disk etc.
what is Small posterior disc bulges with mild endplate spurring
MR imagemorphology is in favour of early marginal osteophytes at few levels. mildbroad disc bulge at l4-l5 causing minimal thecal sac indentation
posterior disc osteophyte at c5 c6 mild indentation on anterior thecal sac. there is uncinate spurring with left formaminal narrowing c5 c6 . would this require surgery?
* Loss of lumber lordosis* Loss of normal disc hydration seen at multiple levels * Disc bulge seen at L2 -3 L3-4 L4-5 and L5-s1 levels indenting anterior thecal sac with impingement of the corresponding exit nerve roots at l3-4 l4-5 and l50s1 levels* No spinal canal stenosis seen* Normal vertebral bodises

Discogenic related spurring at the L2-L3 level refers to bone spurs or osteophytes that develop as a result of degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc between the second and third lumbar vertebrae. This condition often arises from the wear and tear of the disc, leading to inflammation and changes in the surrounding vertebrae. Such spurring can contribute to spinal stenosis or nerve compression, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI.
that means you have a bone spur on your vertebra somewhere -- mine are between c5 and c6 for example... prominent with or without disk bulge?...you need to make sure you know the answer to that...
Osteophytic lipping is also known as a disc bulge. The treatment for a disc bulge is rest and non steroid anti inflammatories, for more advanced cases steroid injections can be tried.
Annulus fissuring refers to the formation of cracks or tears in the annulus fibrosus, the tough outer layer of an intervertebral disc, often associated with degenerative disc disease and can lead to pain and reduced mobility. End plate spurring involves the development of bony projections, or spurs, at the vertebral end plates, which can occur due to osteoarthritis or disc degeneration. Both conditions are indicative of spinal degeneration and can contribute to back pain and other symptoms related to spinal instability or nerve compression. Management typically includes physical therapy, pain relief, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
Paracentral endplate osteophyte spurring refers to the formation of bony growths, known as osteophytes, that develop around the endplates of spinal vertebrae, particularly in the paracentral region. This condition often occurs due to degenerative disc disease or spinal arthritis, where the body's response to disc degeneration leads to the development of these spurs. These osteophytes can contribute to narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve root canals, potentially causing pain or neurological symptoms. Treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
A single-session disc (CD-ROM-Read-Only Memory) can read but not write (record) or erase. Manufacturers write all items on the single-session disc at one time, and multisession disc (CD-RW-Compact Disc-Rewritable) is an erasable disc you can write on multiple times.
It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.
