Comparisons
People often examine things and objects by comparing their similarities or differences in order to judge the specific characteristics, qualities and the degree of their merit. This category includes all the questions and answers to relate things with their similarities and to distinguish with their differences that decide their specific nature in contrast to their counterparts being compared.

The group that acts as a standard for comparison in an experiment?
Well, I believe the control group acts as a standard for comparison in an experiment because it does not change, so it can be compared to the variables that do change.
Language which describes ideas people or things by stated or implied comparison is called?
figurative language
What are the pros and cons of the gnomonic projection?
firstly i will list the pro's for orthographic drawings.
an orthographic drawing (if done correctly) can be used on a factory floor to create the product within a few hours of first inspection of drawing.
using the orthographic drawing techniques you can scale and design a product without the use of electrical technology. it is also good to use ortho's to show hidden details like the inside of a shelled out shape.
learning how to draw ortho's is a skill which is unparalleled in use in industry, not for the practical uses but the understanding of drawings is a skill which can be put to use in most engineering jobs involving the creation of a product which may have to be accurate within a 0.01mm tolerance.
con's
orthographic drawings done by hand can take even the most experienced of people hours to complete, due to the creation of computer aided design the need to create ortho's by hand has become obsolete.
any inaccuracies in a hand drawn ortho which are taken to factory can effect the quality or practicability of the design.
computer aided design has qualities which far outweigh hand drawn ortho's like they are more accurate and don't require the use of guidelines which may confuse those who aren't familiar with orthographic drawings.
What are pros and cons of bureaucracy?
Strengths of bureaucracy:
1. A division of labor into spheres of influence 2. A definite hierarchy of official offices 3. Clear norms and rules 4. Selection to office is by technical qualification. 5. Promotion by seniority. 6. Disciplinary control over the incumbent of each office. 7. Better than feudal/traditional forms where people got appointed by favoritism or bribes.
Weaknesses of bureaucracy? 1. Becomes an Iron Cage of Control (as Weber saw it) 2. Red Tape from all the rules and sign offs 3. Hard to change this form 4. Divisions of labor compartmentalize attention and response. 5. Hierarchy can mean silos (e.g. must go up and down chains of command to get things done). 6. Certain irrationalities result.
Are there loan comparison sites online?
"Yes, there are many websites online that have a loan finder service. There are quite a few websites offering a loan finder service out there. One that I found is simply called ""Loan Finder""."
Comparison between an unknown quantity and a standard?
A comparison between an unknown quantity and a standard is known formally as a measurement. In essence, by taking a measurement of a standard against an unknown quantity, you are creating your own system of measurement.
A hover board is a board that has magnets on bottom. The reason that it has magnets is so it can propel itself upward with the magnetic pull in the ground. The way that they propel themselves upward is the same way two north magnets deflect from each other. The hover board has a special battery in it that picks up on the magnets in the ground like a metal detector picks up on metal. Doing this can let it defy gravity and propel the board and person upward.
What is the group used as a standard for comparison?
A good scientific investigation invovles using a group that is a standard or a what group
A direct comparison between two unlike things without using like or as?
It is called a metaphor. A metaphor is a type of figurative language
What are the pros and cons of DirectTV?
Takes up time better spent broadening your knowledge of contructive things.
Reality television, (need I say more?)
The Pros: It might encourage reading when a show engages you to learn more. There are intellegent shows and channels made for those who want to be mentally stimulated.
What are pros and cons of using benzene?
The pros of benzene is apple and the cons of benzene is banana.
What is the relationship between a turbine and generator?
A generator can produce energy if a CME occurs. A transformer could blow and cause your power to go out. but they both have something to do with power and energy.
Example of appropriate degree of comparison of the adjective?
The adjective itself is the positive degree. The other degrees are the comparative (comparing two things) and superlative (comparing more than two things).
What are the pros and cons of slash and burn farming?
The citizens of an area would begin moving away from the invading army and would torch their belongings before doing so making it so that the invading army would not be able to use their food to support their attack.
Why is a graduated cylinder more accurate than a flask?
A graduated cylinder has a constant diameter and a printed scale on its side that indicates volume inside the graduated cylinder for any given liquid level. A flask has none of these advantages.
What is a comparison of two quantities that have different units?
First the units of the two quantities should have the same category, e.g length units, or mass units, etc.
Second: to convert the unit of one quantity to the same unit of the another quantity.
third: to perform the comparison.
What are the pros and cons of industrial development?
One of the advantages of industrialization is that it has made it possible for people to do things easily with help of things like machines and roads. A disadvantage of industrial development is that it has caused a lot of harm to nature as toxic wastes spill over to water bodies and natural habitats.
Where can one find a comparison of digital cameras?
First and foremost, the internet is always the best source for various comparisons of Canon digital cameras. Was in London Drugs the other day speaking with their representative about various Canon cameras and I can certainly say, I would go back to London Drugs in a heartbeat because their camera knowledge is incredible and I felt like I was getting more than enough educated comparisons which helped me make a correct confident decision.
Disadvantages of active directory in comparison to other directory services?
1. Active Directory is a Flat File Database, and as such does not scale well to distributed locations. On very slow links site replication can take upwards of 4hrs, or fail to complete before next replication which will cause errors.
2. Active Directory fails full LDAP compliance, which limits what open source or 3rd party products can be deployed (as such, costs increase exponentially)
3. Active Directory is OS dependent and cannot be installed on any platform other than Windows server. (This increases licensing costs and reduces reliability).
Can you compare the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb?
Yes, however on one level they are the same thing as both obtain their energy from the release of excess nuclear binding energy. However as the terms have traditionally been used the differences are as follows:
- atomic bomb, a rather simple bomb operating with nuclear fission of heavy element(s) within a "prompt supercritical mass" of a fissile isotope initiated by a pulse of neutrons. The most commonly used fissile isotopes are plutonium-239, uranium-235 (uranium-233 could also be used but has properties similar to plutonium-239). The yield of such a bomb is limited to less than one megaton (with the highest yield such bomb ever tested only half that).
- hydrogen bomb, a rather complicated bomb operating with nuclear fusion of light element(s) compressed and heated using x-rays generated by either an atomic bomb or another hydrogen bomb in a previous "stage" of the bomb. This "staging" principal permits the yield of a hydrogen bomb to be as large as desired, also the yield can be increased (as well as the fallout) by enclosing the bomb in uranium (even the nonfissionable isotope uranium--238 usually considered "waste" after enriching uranium-235 for atomic bombs can be used) which will be fissioned by the high energy fusion neutrons. This can multiply the yield of the bomb by a factor between 2 to 10 times!
Comparison shopping is a great way to find good prices on amazing things. If you go to TJ Maxx they have stuff from lots of different stores. It's kind of like a place to buy cool brands at low prices.
Also comparison shopping provides a unique way of finding out where to shop and where to not.
