What is the difference between an index and a register?

Indexes and Registers

¦ Indexes: Are permanent topical collections of medical record data required by laws and logic to locate cases for record maintenance, statistics and research, e.g. MPI, physician, disease, procedure and surgery indexes.

¦ Registers: Are permanent chronological listings for maintaining certain statistics, e.g. surgical log, admission, inpatient, outpatient, and death registers.

Difference between walking beam and walking hearth furnace?

A walking beam furnace allows the product to be heated from all sides, where a walking hearth furnace only alloys product to be heated from the top and is more suitable for thinner products. There is no major mechanism difference between a walking hearth and a walking beam furnace. For a walking beam furnace, an actual walking beam will lift the product and move it forward. Then the product is lowered onto the stationary beams. While the load is resting on the stationary beams the walking beam moves underneath the product back to the home position ready to perform another walk. Whereas for a walking hearth furnace, portions of the refractory lined hearth are used to raise the product and move it toward the discharge in a walking fashion. Both mechanisms of moving the product to the discharge, are almost identical.

What is the differences between base and height?

base is the 2D face of a figure

the height is the extension of the 2D face

That's why Area=Base*Height

Difference between cascode and cascade amplifier?

cascade:

the output of one amplifier stage is connected to the input of another amplifier stages, it's also connected in series.

cascode:

it said to be cascode, when it has one transistor on the top of another where a common emitter transistor drives a common base transistor.

What is the difference between fddi-i and fddi-ii?

FDDI 1 vs FDDI 2

Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) is a data transmission standard for Local Area Networks (LAN) which uses fiber optic lines. A FDDI LAN can extend up to 200 kilometers and it can support thousands of users. The FDDI 1 protocol is based on the token ring protocol. FDDI 2 is an extended version of FDDI. It extends FDDI by adding capability to handle voice and video signals.

Difference between FDDI 1 and FDDI 2 (FDDI ii)

FDDI-2 is the second generation protocol of FDDI. The key difference between them is that, in addition to all the functionality FDDI provides, FDDI-2 provides the ability to handle voice signals and video. Even though both FDDI and FDDI-2 runs at 100 Mbits/sec on the fiber and transport asynchronous and synchronous types of frames, FDDI-2 can transport isochronous traffic using the newly developed hybrid mode. Further, FDDI and FDDI-2 stations can be operated in the same ring only in the basic FDDI mode

Difference between encoding and batch encoding?

Encoding simply refers to the "encoding" of one single file.

Batch encoding refers to setting up several files to encode one after another. It's basically automated.

Expalain the difference between cyclical and seasonal variations in a time series?

The Secular trends, Seasonal variations, and Cyclical Fluctuations are all components of the Time Series. Following are some of their distinguishing features.

  1. Secular trends are the part of time series which show the overall tendency of the data over a longer period of time e.g. growth of population in a particular area over a certain period of time.

  2. Seasonal variations are periodic and regular data changes within a year. The sales of garments are a good example of seasonal variations which see every a regular change in the type of garments that are being sold every season.

  3. Cyclical fluctuations typically lasting for more than a year are best represented by a business cycle which goes through a number phases of prosperity, decline, depression, and regain. As opposed to seasonal variations, they don't have regular periodicity and each phase can be of it's own length.

What is the difference between a family and a kin group?

Family is your direct ancestors, decendents, and siblings. Kin are any members indirectly related to you, such as cousins, aunts, uncles, and nephews.

What is the difference between black smoker and hydrothermal vents?

A black smoker is a hydrothermal vent.... A white smoker is different than a black smoker because its cooler and contains compounds of barium, calcium, and silicon, which are white. Black smoker are hotter and contain iron, sulfide, and when combined that form monosulfide.

What is the difference between sign in and sign on?

They are the same, different providers and software manufacturers use different terminologies. A similar observation is for sign out and log out.

What is the differences between a bill and a resolution?

resolutions are not something you can enforce but are statements of will or belief passed by a body to express a consensus of opinion or belief or what should be done

a bill that becomes a law is enforceable

What is the difference between modern methods of classification and traditional methods of classification?

Modern classification is based on evolutionary relationships between organisms while traditional classification is not.

What is difference between CIF and FOB incoterms?

The key difference is that the main costs of carriage are paid for by buyer in a FOB contract, so he will take care of the vessel shipment. Under a CIF arrangement, the seller take this responsibility will deliver the contracted commodity at buyers destined location.

Differences between Bufo sp and Rana sp?

The common toad was first given the name Rana bufo by the Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758.[3] In this work, he placed all the frogs and toads in the single genusRana. It later became apparent that this genus should be subdivided, and in 1768, the Austrian naturalistJosephus Nicolaus Laurenti placed the common toad in the genus Bufo, naming it Bufo bufo.[4][5] The toads in this genus are included in the family Bufonidae, the true toads.[2]

Various subspecies of Bufo bufo have been recognized over the years. The Caucasian toad is found in the mountainous regions of the Caucasus and was at one time classified as Bufo bufo verrucosissima. It has a larger genome and differs from Bufo bufo morphologically [6] and is now accepted as Bufo verrucosissimus.[7] The spiny toad was classified as Bufo bufo spinosus. It is found in the Mediterranean area and grows to a larger size and has a spinier skin than its more northern counterparts with which itintergrades.[8] It is now accepted as Bufo spinosus.[9] The Gredos toad, Bufo bufo gredosicola, is restricted to the Sierra de Gredos, a mountain range in central Spain. It has exceptionally large paratoid glands and its colour tends to be blotched rather than uniform.[10] It is now considered to be a synonym of Bufo bufo.[2]

Bufo bufo is part of a species complex, a group of closely related species which cannot be clearly demarcated.[1] Several modern species are believed to form an ancient group of related taxafrom preglacial times. These are the spiny toad (Bufo spinosus), the Caucasian toad (Bufo verrucosissimus) and the Japanese common toad (Bufo japonicus). The European common toad (Bufo bufo) seems to have arisen more recently.[6] It is believed that the range of the ancestral form extended into Asia but that isolation between an eastern and western type occurred as a result of greater aridity and desertification in the Middle East during the Middle Miocene.[11] The exact taxonomic relationships between these species remains unclear.[6] A serological investigation into toad populations in Turkey undertaken in 2001 examined the blood serum proteins of Bufo verrucosissimus and Bufo spinosus. It found that the differences between the two were so significant that therefore the former should be synonymized with the latter.[12]

A study published in 2012 examined the phylogenetic relationships between the Eurasian and North African species in the Bufo bufo group and indicated a long evolutionary history for the group. Nine to thirteen million years ago, Bufo eichwaldi, a recently described species from south Azerbaijan and Iran, split from the main lineage. Further divisions occurred with Bufo spinosus splitting off about five million years ago when the Pyrenees were being uplifted, an event which isolated the populations in the Iberian Peninsula from those in the rest of Europe. The remaining European lineage split into Bufo bufoand Bufo verrucosissimus less than three million years ago during the Pleistocene.[13]

Very occasionally the common toad hybridizes with the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) or the European green toad (Bufo viridis).[14]

Different between automatic sprinkler system and drencher fire control system?

A drencher fire control system is installed on all floors to cover all external wall openings. The flow rate should be maintained not less than 10 liters per minute. It should be able to run for at least 30 minutes.

What is the difference between primates and non-primates?

Primates are characterised by large brains relative to other mammals.

Their eyes face forward, giving them stereoscopic vision and vision is the sense they rely on most rather than smell like other mammals.

Most primates with a few exceptions have opposable thumbs and have developed adaptations to climb trees.

Primate babies take a long time to mature because of their brain size, relative to non-primates.

Non-human primates have oestrus cycles and many species display swellings during their fertile period.

What is the difference between personal space and privacy?

Personal space is a region of space around you where you feel comfortable with others not occupying. Usually cultural determined like in the United States it might be a few feet but in some other countries it might be only a few inches. Privacy is far enough away from others that they can't be overheard or seen.
