Floating point is a numerical-interpretation system in which strings of digits or bits represent real numbers. A system of arithmetic is defined to permit these representations to be manipulated with resultant being similar to the arithmetic operations done over real numbers. The representation uses an explicit designation of where the radix point should be located relative to the string. In computing, fixed-point number representation is a real data type representing a number with a fixed number of digits before and after the radix. The most common way of representing floating-point numbers in computers is the IEEE 754 standards or IEEE floating point. Several ...

The Tugendhat House is one of the classic examples of Mies van der Rohe’s architecture. The structure fits in with its surroundings in the wealthy suburb of Brno and has a sense of modernism without being too stark and bland. The emphasis on horizontal planes with the ground and the roof supported by vertical elements is an important and crucial part of the whole building.
The plan of Tugendhat House actually comes out to create a boundless spatial freedom, obstacle-free space. The uniformed orthogonal grid of supports suggests that the plan ideally projects beyond the limit of the enclosure. ...

An operating systems are is the software that serves as the mediator between the user's hardware and the applications he uses. It is responsible for controlling the hardware resources like the memory, the processors and the storage space available. It serves as the coordinator of all the activities done by the computer. If an airport can't function without an airport traffic controller, a computer will not be able to deliver unless an operating system is installed and functioning. An operating system can either come with a new computer unit purchased or it can be bought separately. After bootup, you usually see ...

Introduction

This paper aims at evaluating concepts of alteration in homeostatic state, secondary to temporal variables. It analyses the case study of Brad, a 45-year old coal cutter who has held the job for 25 years. Brad is experiencing a chronic cough due to prolonged exposure to coal. Importantly, he has not been attending yearly checkups because he fears that his lung is “black.” The disease leads to fibrosis, reduced diffusing ability, and dilation of the small airways. In the final stage, the airways, alveoli, and pulmonary capillaries become damaged.

Video in Opera Stage

Introduction
Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

Question 1: Analyse the advantages and the disadvantages of each of the three options that Carlos Vega identified.

The three options identified by Carlos Vega are to expand the pizzeria by adding another story at the existing location, move to a nearby large building with more space or turn focus to selling sauce jars. The advantages of the first and second options are that it will likely increase the footfall of customers in the restaurant and boost revenue. The major disadvantage is that the competition will still have an edge because Vega does not have parking space or liquor license. So, the increase in sales revenue due to expansion may not justify the additional investment. The advantage ...
