Do viruses have scientific names?

Yes, viruses have scientific names that are typically based on their classification, such as the type of virus and where it was first isolated. These names are often used in scientific research and taxonomy to distinguish between different viruses.

What comes after a TB?

PB or petabyte which is 1024TB or 1000TB depending what you are talking about.

I believe the question is on Hard disk Space, hence, it starts with a Byte (byte)

Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes

Megabyte (MB) = 1024 KB

Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB

Terabyte (TB) = 1024 GB

Petabyte (PB) = 1024 TB

Exabyte (EB) = 1024 PB

Zettabyte (ZB) = 1024 EB

Yottabyte (YB) = 1024 ZB

Keep multiplying by 1024 to get the next unit.

What are computer storage measurements such as megabytes?

The most widely used measurements from smallest to largest are as following:

Bits

Bytes (8 bits)

Kilobytes, also known K or KB (1024 bytes)

Megabytes, also knownas as MB (1024 kilobytes)

Gigabytes, also known as GB (1024 megabytes)[i think is the most common in computers, SD cards, and such.]

Terabytes, also known as TB (1024 gigabytes)

There are also less used ones such as exabits, petabits, terabits, megabits, and kilobits, but those are much smaller.

Computers store things in base 2 so if you wrote the letter A, it would be something like 011. About 3 Bits. the average song takes up about 10 Megabytes. 1011010100100001110110100101001010100101 etc. etc.

a movie about 500-700 Megabytes, or about half a Gigabyte.

What is 'plastic memory and how is it found in clay terms?

THE CLAY PARTICLE

When we look at clay through an electron microscope, the clay

particles seen as a thin hexagonal plate, approximately 100

times longer than it is thick. (Note: Richard Burkett has

placed an image file of clay particles as seen under an electron

microscope in another directory of the Ceramics Gopher at SDSU.)

When we add the water of plasticity to the dry clay, moisture

between the flat plates creates a surface tension attraction so

that the particles do not easily pull apart, but they slide

easily over one another. The flat shape of the clay particle

and the surface tension when water is added gives the strength

and plasticity which we associate with clay in its workable state.

You suspect that a power supply is faulty but you use a multimeter to measure its voltage output and find it to be acceptable Why is it still possible that the power supply may be faulty?

Yes, it can be faulty. Some damaged power supplies show good output voltages on the voltage range of a multimeter but, when you connect them, they don't work properly.

One possible reason is that maybe an IC in its voltage regulator has a high resistance between the common and the output. You cannot see this by shunting a voltmeter onto it. You have to place a typical load onto the output to test it.

How many bits of information does a single cell of a memory chip on a 256MB PC2700 DDR module hold?

Edited: 10/02/09 12:32 AM PDT

The previous answer here said simply:

"8 bits"

....which might be correct for the rate of data transfer (per cell), but that doesn't answer the question!

The way I finally figured it:

A 256MB (mega BYTE) module has 8 cells, (or chips).

256/8 = 32MB per cell

To convert BYTES to BITS, multiply by 8; (8 BITS to a BYTE).

32MB (x8) = 256Mb (mega BITS) per cell.

To convert MEGA bits to BITS*:

*(when referring to data storage, as in this case...)

1Mb = 1048576 bits

Therefore, the cell being 256Mb = (256 x 1048576) =

268,435,456 bits per cell

Formula: (256 x 1024 x 1024)

How are typhoons measured?

Cyclones of the southern hemisphere are measured by wind speed and assigned a category number. Whether or not they are classified as a cyclone is also determined by barometric pressure.

Wind speeds determine the category as follows:

Category 1: winds up to 125km/h

Category 2: 125- 170 km/h

Category 3: 170 - 225 km/h

Category 4: 225 - 280 km/h

Category 5: in excess of 280 km/h

Hurricanes, which are cyclones in the north-western hemisphere, are measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The categories are measured as follows:

Tropical Storm - Winds 39-73 mph

Category 1 Hurricane - winds 74-95 mph

Category 2 Hurricane - winds 96-110 mph

Category 3 Hurricane - winds 111-130 mph

Category 4 Hurricane - winds 131-155 mph

Category 5 Hurricane - winds 156 mph and up

What is plastic memory?

If certain plastics (take for instance PTFE) is subjected to stresses below its yield point then it may be subjected to permanent deformation. This deformation will induce certain strains through out the material. If the plastic is heated up, these strains tend to relax which allows the plastic to return to its original shape. This is often refered to as "plastic memory".

How can differentiate the ddr1 ram and ddr 2 ram on physical look?

DDR1 RAM typically has 184 pins and a notch located closer to the center. DDR2 RAM has 240 pins and a notch positioned more towards one side. You can also look at the labeling on the RAM module itself to identify whether it is DDR1 or DDR2.

Can ram with two different MHz for example pc2700 and pc3200 work on the same machine simultaneously?

In theory yes. As long as you don't try to run them in dual-channel configuration it should work. But ram can be picky sometimes, its not too uncommon for instability to occur even using the same brands. If possible it would be best to buy the same ram speeds that you have. That way you also eliminate the possibility your motherboard has compatibility issues with the new speeds. Or completely replace what you have with newer speeds.

How memory can be improved?

Memory can be improved by regularly engaging in activities that challenge the brain, such as puzzles or learning new skills. Getting enough quality sleep, managing stress, and staying physically active also support memory function. Additionally, techniques like mnemonic devices, visualization, and chunking information can help improve memory retention.

What is the difference between iedetic memory and photographic memory?

A photographic memory means that you can remember words and images that you see (hense photographic) Where as an Eidetic memory means that you can remember everything, no matter how you obtain the information, it does not just have to be obtained via sight.

How do we encode process store and retrieve memory?

Information is encoded into memory through electrical signals in the brain. The process involves converting sensory data into neural codes that represent the information. Memory is stored through changes in synaptic connections between neurons. Retrieval occurs when the brain accesses stored information by reactivating the same neural patterns that were encoded during encoding.

What are the levels of memory?

The three main levels of memory are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory holds sensory information for a very brief period, short-term memory stores information for a short time without rehearsal, and long-term memory has a more permanent storage capacity for information.

Draw the memory diagram of calloc function how it allocating the memory?

When calloc is called, it first allocates memory blocks equal to the product of the given number of elements and size of each element. It then initializes all bytes in the allocated memory to zero. The memory diagram would show a contiguous block of memory with its contents set to zero after the allocation.

How do I repair corrupt RAM?

To repair corrupt RAM, you can try shutting down your computer and reseating the RAM modules in their slots. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the faulty RAM module with a new one. In some cases, running a memory diagnostic tool can help identify and possibly repair issues with your RAM.

What is different between primary memory and secondary memory?

Primary Memory is connected with the motherboard. Examples of primary memory are RAM, ROM, PROM, etc. it works very fast.

Secondary Memory are those which are connected to the computer from outside. Examples of secondary memory are floppy disk, cd's, DVDs, etc.

How much space does a high resolution photo take up on your memory card?

It depends on a few things.

1. Exactly how high is the resolution? 5 MP (which would be about 2600, 2000 pixels), 10 MP, 20 MP? Depending on its intended use, the relative term "high resolution" could mean a number of things. It could even mean 1 MP depending on the situation.

2. What format is the picture in? For example, TIFF, various RAW formats, and Jpeg are all common for photographs. What is the source and what is the format? TIFFs are huge files, RAW files are very big, and jpegs, the most common, are reasonably small. (RAW files straight out of an SLR are about three times the size of a jpeg.)

3. If it is jpeg, what is the compression level (between 1 and 12, or between 1% and 100%)? For example, a 5 MP image with high-quality compression (like 100% or level 12) could take up a couple megabites, while the same picture at a lower compression of 5 could be about 400 KB. A compression of level 10 is fairly common out of cameras, and a 5 MP photograph with level 10 compression could be just over 1 MB.

4. To a lesser extent, how complex is the picture? For example, a solid black background with a yellow smily face would take up less room than a complex, sharp photograph of a forrest.

So, to take assumptions, a 10 MP jpeg at level 10 JPEG compression of a typical picture could be about 3 MB.

It should be noted that the picture takes up no more room on a memory card than it does on a computer hard drive. However, if you want to know what portion of the memory card is used by the photo, it depends on the size of the card. For a typical 512 MB memory card and the example of a 3 MB file size photo, the photo would take up about 1/170th of the card.

Of course, any of my assumed variables can be very different resulting in a very different storage usage.

Where can one buy the NJW1119A chip?

The NJW1119A chip can be purchased from electronics component distributors like Digi-Key, Mouser Electronics, or Newark. These distributors typically carry a wide range of electronic components for purchase online.

Difference between primary and secondary memory?

Primary memory refers to the main memory that is directly accessible by the CPU, such as RAM, used for storing data and instructions currently in use by the computer. Secondary memory, like hard drives or SSDs, is used for long-term storage of data and programs even when the system is powered off. Primary memory is faster but has limited capacity, while secondary memory is slower but has greater storage capacity.
