Essays on Redundancy

Normalization is a technique mostly applied when the organization of tables in the database is necessary. One of its main objectives is to eliminate redundancy in the tables and ensure correctness of the anomalies in the insertion, updating and deleting of data from the tables. The process also ensures that the data dependency shared throughout a database makes sense and is logical. Once the process of normalization occurs, then it becomes very easy to update and delete records without necessarily worrying that any data might be lost (Kanade, Gopal, & Kanade, 2014). The process improves the design of the database ...

Response Hyundai Cut Cost

All organizations should look for ways of cutting costs when they experience a decrease in profit. However, in implementing cost-cutting measures, it is important to start by establishing budget variances. This helps to identify the costs that have adverse variances. After identification, the management should look at the reasons behind the variances and establish how to rectify the variances. At this stage, the management comes up with methods of reducing the variances. These are the cost cutting measures that the organization should adopt. Another measure of cutting cost is adopting zero-based budgeting approach. In this approach, every expenditure item ...

Question- "Optimizing Performance"   In order to ensure the fault tolerant network design with no point of failure, administrators can use different approaches. One of them is redundancy. A network without a single point of failure should consist of redundant network-infrastructure components like routers and switches. Moreover, these devices should be interconnected with redundant links. Redundant components, paths and services can also be included in the network topology to ensure its high availability. Another approach is replication. It is a way of providing a couple of identical instances of the one system or one subsystem, directing tasks or requests to ...

Ethernet

When a company has computers, it would be prudent for them to invest on the computers' interconnections. Building a proper computer infrastructure is not limited to big firm enterprises but also small companies. When upgrading to 1000MB switches, the use of category 6 cable is recommended. Category 6 is an improvement on the category 5 cable. Category 5 cables can manage a 1000MB network, but it is not reliable. With category 6, it is possible to have a 10 000MB network in a reliable way. The cable can also manage the back and forth data, one of the many ...

Background

Early scientists and nutritionists believed that the most vital nutrient in living organisms, for building and maintaining the body was the protein. The role of proteins as enzymes came into existence several years later. This was around 1926 when experiments showed that enzymes were proteins. Insulin was the first protein to be sequenced. Hemoglobin was the first structure of proteins to be resolved. Myoglobin was then resolved later.

X-ray diffraction analysis (X-ray crystallography) led to the determination of the structure of the proteins (three-dimensional structure). The purification of proteins can be made possible from cellular compounds. Several methods have ...
