This is often used for income. "Gross income" is the total amount of money received, before including expenses in the calculation. Once you subtract expenses, you get "net income" - your actual gain.
Measuring the frequency of an alternating current using stationary waves?
Operation Tidal Wave was a strategic bombing mission executed by the American Air Forces in August 1943, during World War II intended to put nine Romanian oil refineries around Ploiesti "out of action."[5] The mission was unsuccessful in that it resulted in "no curtailment of overall product output"[7].
In terms of loss of life, this mission was one of the costliest for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the European Theatre, accounting for the loss of 53 aircraft and 660 aircrewmen. The day that it took place is known as "Black Sunday." Five Medals of Honor and numerous Distinguished Service Crosses were awarded to Operation Tidal Wave crew members.
Mission plan
For political reasons, the city of Ploiesti would not be bombed by accident.[5]
Colonel Jacob E. Smart devised the operation based on the experiences from the HALPRO raid. The 9th Air Force (98th and 376th Bombardment Groups) was responsible for the overall conduct of the raid, and the partially formed 8th Air Force provided three additional bomb groups (44th, 93rd, and 389th). The minimal air defenses encountered during the HALPRO raid contributed to the decision to use a daylight, low-level attack in order to counter the German radar coverage.[citation needed] Training included extensive review of detailed sand table models, practice raids over a mock-up of the target in the Libyan desert and practical exercises over a number of secondary targets in July to prove the viability of such a low level strike. The B-24 Liberators to be used were re-equipped with bomb bay fuel tanks to increase their fuel capacity to 3,100 gallons. The operation was to consist of 178 bombers with a total of 1,764 aircrewmen,[specify] being one of the largest commitments of American heavy bombers and crewmen up to that time. The route from airfields near Benghazi, Libya, was across the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea, past the island of Corfu, over the Albanian Pindus Mountains, and across southern Yugoslavia. Following a series of pre-determined check points, the formation next turned toward Ploieşti and simultaneously struck their multiple targets from the north.
Why does the shift gear lock on park on a 2001 Honda Odyssey?
I recently had the same problem on my 2001 Honda Odyssey and found that there is a little switch called the "brake pedal position" switch which not only turns on your brake lights when you are braking, but also allows you to switch out of park when depressing the brake pedal (due to the child safety feature). It is a siple part that can be switched out within 10 minutes (or less) if you have a single wrench of the correct size. The "Haynes Repair Manual" for the 1999 to 2004 Odyssey contains the information to change it in section 9-14 in the "brakes" section. Good luck!
What should be the transformer to building separation distance for fire suppression?
Depends on size of transformer and type (dry,mineral oil, silicone) as well as ground slope and building construction.
What is the function of Bypass diode in the test terminals of a pressure transmitter?
The function of the bypass diode is to allow the loop current to be measured without disconnecting the current loop connections. It therefore allows for a quick measurement of the loop current without disturbing any control or monitoring equipment that is connected to it.
This is achieved by simply connecting an ammeter across the diode. If the voltage drop across the ammeter is less than that of the diode (about 0.6V) then all of the loop current will flow through the ammeter rather than the diode. The ammeter is therefore able to measure the loop current.
"P I" might refer to the number "pi", which is approximately 3.1416."R" might refer to the radius of a circle.
For example, the circumference of a circle is equal to pi x diameter, which is the same as 2 x pi x radius.
What are the applications of vector fields in chemical engineering?
The applications are in transport phenomena, in determining the direction of flow in momentum transport, heat transfer, and mass flux.
What are all the ME courses in electronics and communication engg?
Mechanical engineering is a completely different discipline to electronic or communication engineering.
Though some aspects of mechanical engineering will be required in both at some time they will be tailored to fit the course you are taking.

There are several different types of handguns.
Single-Shot Pistol - pre-1840's design. Single ShotEarly guns were single-shot pistols that were loaded from the muzzle end. Black powder was poured into the barrel and the bullet forced on top of the powder. A Flintlock pistol was fired using a hammer that held a flint rock that fell against a Frizzen that created sparks. The hammer would force the frizzen away to expose the powder to the sparks. Revolver PistolThe Revolver was designed to allow the user to load 6 shots or more. The gun operates by rotating the cylinder containing the loaded rounds in individual Chambers. By pulling back the hammer (i.e. cocking the gun), the hammer moves a ratchet that rotates the Cylinder to a unfired chamber. This mechanism was copied from the windless of a ship. The gun is fired by pulling the trigger, thus releasing the hammer, allowing it to fall on the chamber to fire the bullet. Automatic PistolVery complicated mechanism. The gun has a slide mechanism that is pulled back and picks up a new bullet from the magazine in the grip of the gun. When the slide returned, it would cock the gun so that it would fire when the trigger is pulled.What is Effect of cerium oxide on fuel?
The cerium oxide is inert. The point when it becomes interesting is at higher temperatures when it can oxidize carbon for example at temperature much lower than the carbon will usually burn. Another useful property is that it will reduce nitrogen oxides and take the oxygen to form its ceric oxide state. This is used in car catalysts due to good efficiency and favorable price. Yet another use - which can be derived from wikipedia information already is chemical reaction with laughing gas - N2O to form really strong, orange oxidiser (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 - ceric ammonium nitrate. I plan to test it in a rocket engine fuel soon.
Just to note - many combustion processes, whether in furnace, cars, rockets can not be enhanced, taken more power from them, because of the limited speed of reaction. That is where catalysts take place. Ceric oxide can act as a catalyst. When reacted with certain nitrous oxides it can take form of another chemical composition which acts as a strong oxidiser potentially increasing the speed of the reaction even further.
It is said that the east German racers used ceric oxide fuel additive to improve combustion of their vehicles on some races and thus cheated, but closer information on their setup is hard to find. In general ceric oxide will improve combustion if the combustion has tendency to form carbon particles, like in diesel engines or race engines with high fuel:air ratio.
The maximum surface area of ceric oxide nano-powders ranges from 35-70 square meters per gram of the powder. Ordinary polishing powders do not have such large surface area since they are aimed for polishing, not as a catalyst.

Why you need the differential equation in the field of engineering science and technology?
You need differential equations and partial differential equations to describe and predict the dynamic behaviour of systems. Newton and Laplace developed differential equations originally and simultaneously (using different notation) to work with gravity and the movement of the moon and planets.
If you want to gain IT skills and experience then you can join or apply to some BPO firms.
It depends on which type of IT skills you want,If you want IT skills in programming then i don't think BPO is the best place for you.
Relationship between operating system and windows?
It's blurred (intentionally, by Microsoft).
An operating system is the program that allows the computer to communicate with all its parts.
Windows is a GUI (graphic user interface) that "allows" humans to operate a computer.
Believe it or not, under the pretty pictures, (and that long pause after you turn it on),
your computer is still running DOS (or MSDOS : Microsoft disk operating system)
What is joint application development in system analysis and design?
Joint Application Design (JAD) was developed by Chuck Morris of IBM Raleigh and Tony Crawford of IBM Toronto in the late 1970's. JAD is a process used in the (SDLC) to collect business requirements(needs of customer/Problem definition) while developing new system for a company. "The JAD process also includes approaches for enhancing user participation, expediting development, and improving the quality of specifications." It consists of a workshop where "knowledge workers and IT specialists meet, sometimes for several days, to define and review the business requirements for the system.
Difference between asymmetric and symmetric multiprocessing and simple multiprocessors?
A symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system is one in which each processor runs an identical copy of the operating system on each processor. In an asymmetric multiprocessing, system, each processor is assigned a specific tasks. An example of this would be a master- slave relationship between one processor and “the rest”.
How much weight can a LEGO bridge hold?
4.3 Lbs. That's based on the length/width of the deck being no more than 6". A suspension bridge will support more... Go find some string!
Is there really a need for more advanced technologies?
Technologies are what humans use to survive. Better technologies usually offer better means of survival and/or greater comfort in our daily lives.
There are always cost/benefit issues with the introduction of any new technology, but need or not humans will always pursue the creation of new and "better" technologies: we create technologies and our technologies create us anew.
