This was really useful in determining one's location during the times when technology wasn't that advanced yet. First is that it depends as to what time of the day is it being used. If used at day, most probably at high noon, the altitude of the sun would be measured and recorded and/or remembered. Most of the times, the latitude is determined during the day since it is much easier. At night, a star of known declination will be substituted to the sun. Most of the times, the North Star is used. Then, an almanac will be utilized to determine the declination of the Sun or the star, depending on which was used. After which, the formula is applied, which is latitude = 90 degrees - measured altitude +declination.
Information technology is the application of computers to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, often in the context of a business or other enterprise.
Answer:
Abstraction
Explanation:
In computer science, abstraction has a similar definition. It is a simplified version of something technical, such as a function or an object in a program. The goal of "abstracting" data is to reduce complexity by removing unnecessary information. At some level, we all think of computers in abstract terms.
Answer:
It we were asked to develop a new data compression tool, it is recommended to use Huffman coding since it is easy to implement and it is widely used.
Explanation:
The pros and the cons of Huffman coding
Huffman coding is one of the most simple compressing encoding schemes and can be implemented easily and efficiently. It also has the advantage of not being patented like other methods (e.g. arithmetic codingfor example) which however are superior to Huffman coding in terms of resulting code length.
One thing not mentioned so far shall not be kept secret however: to decode our 96 bit of “brief wit” the potential receiver of the bit sequence does need the codes for all letters! In fact he doesn’t even know which letters are encoded at all! Adding this information, which is also called the “Huffman table” might use up more space than the original uncompressed sentence!
However: for longer texts the savings outweigh the added Huffman table length. One can also agree on a Huffman table to use that isn’t optimized for the exact text to be transmitted but is good in general. In the English language for example the letters “e” and “t” occur most often while “q” and “z” make up the least part of an average text and one can agree on one Huffman table to use that on average produces a good (=short) result. Once agreed upon it doesn’t have to be transmitted with every encoded text again.
One last thing to remember is that Huffman coding is not restricted to letters and text: it can be used for just any symbols, numbers or “abstract things” that can be assigned a bit sequence to. As such Huffman coding plays an important role in other compression algorithms like JPG compression for photos and MP3 for audio files.
The pros and the cons of Lempel-Ziv-Welch
The size of files usually increases to a great extent when it includes lots of repetitive data or monochrome images. LZW compression is the best technique for reducing the size of files containing more repetitive data. LZW compression is fast and simple to apply. Since this is a lossless compression technique, none of the contents in the file are lost during or after compression. The decompression algorithm always follows the compression algorithm. LZW algorithm is efficient because it does not need to pass the string table to the decompression code. The table can be recreated as it was during compression, using the input stream as data. This avoids insertion of large string translation table with the compression data.
A component which is most likely to allow both physical and virtual machines to communicate with each other is a: virtual switch.
<h3>What is virtualization?</h3>
Virtualization can be defined as the creation of an abstract layer over computer hardware primarily through the use of a software, in order to enable the operating system (OS), storage device, server, etc., to be used by end users over the Internet.
In Cloud computing, some of the components (features) which is not required for a successful virtualization environment include the following:
In conclusion, we can infer and logically deduce that a component which is most likely to allow both physical and virtual machines to communicate with each other is a virtual switch because it enables the virtual servers and the desktops to communicate.
