1.the compression ratio is higher compared to huffman coding.

2.efficiency is greater comparatively.

3.Redundancy is much reduced.

CMM verifies the quality of the overall software development process beginning from problem definition. Software validation and verification are the subitems of CMM.

1-It leads to software reusability.

2-It leads in readuction of production cost up to 85% and save production time upto 70%.

3-system reliability can be increased here.

A: A DAC and ADC will have by design a certain assignment of bits or steps each step or bit value is dependent o the total number of bits available 12 bit dac assuming 10v reference its LSB value will be 4.08 mv minimum 10V/2048=4.08 mv

2048 is 2 raised 12 times

yes it is related 2 engineering because it has got to do with making and producing so that's related to engineering

According to Pilling-Bedworth rule, if the volume of oxide layer formed is greater than the volume of the metal, the oxide layer is protective and non-porous. However if the oxide layer formed has volume lesser than that of the underlying metal then the oxide layer is porous and non-protective.

Observational techniques, typically, place the user in the eventual context in which a system will be operated. In contrast, lab-based techniques rely upon careful control of variables that might otherwise confound experimental results. Lab based studies can be used to make direct and fair comparisons between different systems using statistical measures of significance . In contrast, observational studies provide rich insights into the application of an interactive system but it can be difficult to make such direct comparisons when the experience of interactive with the system can be influenced by a host of factors that are difficult to replicate for each system within the eventual context of use.

Software QA (quality assurance) engineers are individuals who monitor every phase of the software development process so as to ensure design quality, making sure that the software adheres to the standards set by the development company.

Sometimes software quality assurance engineers are confused with software testers, which is a mistake. Software testers test parts of the software at different stages of development, whereas a software quality assurance engineer oversees the entire development process, which includes software testing, from start to finish. The monetary success of the software product is largely due in part to the quality of the product as well as the product's ability to hit the market on time. Both are the responsibility of the software quality assurance engineer.

The Certificate Revocation List (CRL) is a list of certificates that were issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) and then subsequently revoked. The validator of a certificate is expected to search the CRL for that CA before accepting the certificate as valid.

To calculate the page table size, divide virtual address space by page size and multiply by page table entry size.

Example: for a 120MB address space with a 4KB page size, you require 30,720 page table entries. If a page table entry is 4 bytes, you require a total page table size of 122,880 or 120KB.

planning may be looking ahead whilst controlling is ensuring the planning comes to a sucessful conclusion

Yes it is possible to combine process models. It is the spiral process model.This model of development combines the features of the prototyping model and the waterfall model

Let us consider the case study of the baggage-handling system at the Denver International Airport (DIA) again. Initially, DIA had intended that each individual airline would be responsible for building its own baggage-handling system. However, as the construction of the airport progressed, a larger vision emerged for the inclusion of an airport-wide integrated baggage-handling system that could provide a major improvement in the efficiency of luggage delivery and no one gave any thought to risk assessment. The essential concept of the Spiral Model is to minimize risks by the repeated use of prototypes and other means. Unlike other models, at every stage risk analysis is performed. The Spiral Model works by building progressively more complete versions of the software by starting at the center of the spiral and working outwards.

An aggregation is a special form of association that models a whole part relationship between an aggregate(the whole) and its parts..

ITP en términos de ingeniería significa '' Plan de Inspección y Prueba "

To evaluate the transient response of an RC circuit, you start with the steady state just prior to the transient, i.e. just prior to the switch being opened or closed, or just prior to whatever transient event you are modeling. Since you are steady state, assume that capacitors are not present, i.e. they are resistors with infinite impedance. Calculate the voltage and current at each node, using Ohm's law and/or Kirchoff's law and/or Norton/Thevanin equivalents as necessary. Remember that capacitors resist a change in voltage. The equation is dv/dt = i/c. At t=0, assume that each capacitor has the voltage calculated from the initial steady state condition. Initiate the transient and calculate the voltage and current at each node using the initial state differential equation. You can do this analytically, or you can model it in software. If you model, pick an appropriate delta-T, and do a step wise evaluation until the voltages and current settle to their new values. Adjust delta-T to make sure that you are getting consistent results. Just don't go too short, as truncation error can bias the results.

I will try to answer this quickly as I don't have much time.

As the name suggests, the waterfall model follows the path of an waterfall. It starts in the first stage of orientation, and ends at the release. It can only go one way (to the end goal) and the stages are very strict (you cant go back to a earlier stage).

The Spiral model understands that reality doesn't always follow theory, and that an project should be designed to follow that reality. There are multiple prototypes released, and phases can be repeated until the desired result is reached (hence the spiral).

The iterative model combines those two, making (IMHO) the waterfall model more ready for the real world.

You should try googling yourself, I found lots of info about the differences in this article about the advantages of the waterfall model: http://www.waterfall-model.com/the-waterfall-model-avantages-and-disadvantages

Abstraction and refinement are complementary concepts. Abstraction enables

you to specify procedure and data internally but suppress the need for "outsiders" to have knowledge of low-level details.

Refinement helps you to reveal low-level details as design progresses. Both concepts allow you to create a complete design model as the design evolves.

The critieria is based on what other techniques you might employ. The waterfall method in SDLC (software development life cycle) has been largely discounted in favor of more effective methods, such as the iterative approach.

One of the main problems with the waterfall design is that it does not easily allow for negative feedback at several stages of the project (for example, water flows downhill, not uphill, so feedback into the cycle can be very costly).
