Deep Carbon Observatory
The Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) is a global research program designed to transform understanding of carbon's role in Earth. DCO is a community of scientists, including biologists, physicists, geoscientists and chemists, whose work crosses several traditional disciplinary lines to develop the new, integrative field of deep carbon science. To complement this research, the DCO's infrastructure includes public engagement and education, online and offline community support, innovative data management, and novel instrumentation development. In December 2018, researchers announced that considerable amounts of life forms, including 70% of bacteria and archea on Earth, comprising up to 23 billion tonnes of carbon, live up to at least deep underground, including below the seabed, according to a ten-year Deep Carbon Observatory project. History In 2007, Robert Hazen, a Senior Staff Scientist at the Carnegie Institution’s Geophysical Laboratory (Washington, DC) spoke at ...

Developer Certificate Of Origin
The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) was introduced in 2004 by the Linux Foundation, to enhance the submission process for software used in the Linux kernel, shortly after the SCO–Linux disputes In a series of legal disputes between SCO Group and Linux vendors and users SCO alleged that its license agreements with IBM meant that source code IBM wrote and donated to be incorporated into Linux was added in violation of SCO's contractual rig .... DCOs are often used as an alternative to a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). Instead of a signed legal contract, a DCO is an affirmation that the source code being submitted originated from the developer, or that the developer has permission to submit the code. Proponents of the DCO contend that it reduces the barriers of entry introduced by a CLA. Developer Certificate of Origin Version 1.1 Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors. 1 Letterman Drive Suite D4700 San Francisco, CA, 94129 Everyone is ...

Siemens DCO
The Siemens DCO (digital central office) electronic telephone switch was introduced in 1977 by Stromberg-Carlson, having been conceived by its new president, Leonard A. Muller, an ex IBM senior executive who infused Stromberg with his new digital awareness learned in IBM. In a revolutionary project headed by lead engineer and chief of project development, Mick Richmond, the Stromberg-Carlson DCO was the one of the first digital class 5 telephone switches ever installed in the World's telecommunications network, Muller was quick to recognize the value digital technology brought to the science of electronic switching and commenced a major digital development program shortly after taking over management of Stromberg in 1974. Stromberg-Carlson put their switch into service in July 1977 in a telephone exchange in Richmond Hill, Georgia. The DCO came as DCO-SE (Digital Central Office - Small Exchange) for line side Central Office operation and the DCO-CS (DCO-Carrier Switch) for Long Di ...

Compact Star
In astronomy, the term compact star (or compact object) refers collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. It would grow to include exotic stars if such hypothetical, dense bodies are confirmed to exist. All compact objects have a high mass relative to their radius, giving them a very high density, compared to ordinary atomic matter. Compact stars are often the endpoints of stellar evolution and, in this respect, are also called stellar remnants. The state and type of a stellar remnant depends primarily on the mass of the star that it formed from. The ambiguous term ''compact star'' is often used when the exact nature of the star is not known, but evidence suggests that it has a very small radius compared to ordinary stars. A compact star that is not a black hole may be called a degenerate star. In June 2020, astronomers reported narrowing down the source of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), which may now plausibly include "compact-object mergers and magnetars ari ...

Device Configuration Overlay
Device configuration overlay (DCO) is a hidden area on many of today's hard disk drives (HDDs). Usually when information is stored in either the DCO or host protected area (HPA), it is not accessible by the BIOS (or UEFI), OS, or the user. However, certain tools can be used to modify the HPA or DCO. The system uses the command to determine the supported features of a given hard drive, but the DCO can report to this command that supported features are nonexistent or that the drive is smaller than it actually is. To determine the actual size and features of a disk, the command is used, and the output of this command can be compared to the output of to see if a DCO is present on a given hard drive. Most major tools will remove the DCO in order to fully image a hard drive, using the command. This permanently alters the disk, unlike with the host protected area (HPA), which can be temporarily removed for a power cycle. Uses The Device Configuration Overlay (DCO), which was first ...

Digitally Controlled Oscillator
A digitally controlled oscillator or DCO is used in synthesizers, microcontrollers, and software-defined radios. The name is analogous with "voltage-controlled oscillator." DCOs were designed to overcome the tuning stability limitations of early VCO designs. Confusion over terminology The term "digitally controlled oscillator" has been used to describe the combination of a voltage-controlled oscillator driven by a control signal from a digital-to-analog converter, and is also sometimes used to describe numerically controlled oscillators. This article refers specifically to the DCOs used in many synthesizers of the 1980s . These include the Roland Juno-6, Juno-60, Juno-106, JX-3P, JX-8P, and JX-10, the Elka Synthex, the Korg Poly-61, the Oberheim Matrix-6, some instruments by Akai and Kawai, and the recent Prophet '08 and its successor Rev2 by Dave Smith Instruments. Relation to earlier VCO designs Many voltage-controlled oscillators for electronic music are based o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Domain Controller
A domain controller (DC) is a server computer that responds to security authentication requests within a computer network domain. It is a network server that is responsible for allowing host access to domain resources. It authenticates users, stores user account information and enforces security policy for a domain. It is most commonly implemented in Microsoft Windows environments (see Domain controller (Windows)), where it is the centerpiece of the Windows Active Directory service. However, non-Windows domain controllers can be established via identity management software such as Samba and Red Hat FreeIPA. Software The software and operating system used to run a domain controller usually consists of several key components shared across platforms. This includes the operating system (usually Windows Server or Linux), an LDAP service (Red Hat Directory Server, etc.), a network time service ( ntpd, chrony, etc.), and a computer network authentication protocol (usually Ker ...

Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIP) are major infrastructure developments in England and Wales that bypass normal local planning requirements. These include proposals for power plants, large renewable energy projects, new airports and airport extensions, and major road projects. The NSIP nomenclature began to be used in 2008, and since April 2012 these projects have been managed by the Planning Inspectorate. History Nationally significant infrastructure projects were initially controlled by the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) which was established by the Planning Act 2008, which began operating on 1 October 2009 on an advice and guidance basis. Full powers of the IPC to receive, examine and approve applications for development consent came into force on 1 March 2010. The IPC was abolished by the Localism Act 2011 which transferred decision-making powers created by the 2008 Act to the relevant Secretary of State. Since 1 April 2012, acceptance and ex ...

Dimension Century Orguss
is an anime science fiction series. It inspired an OVA sequel series called ''Orguss 02''. ''Orguss'' was the second part of ''The Super Dimension'' trilogy from Big West, preceded by ''The Super Dimension Fortress Macross'' and followed by ''The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross''. ''Orguss'' was the second "Super Dimension" series (after ''Macross'' and before ''Southern Cross''), but other than the descriptive name, these three series are not sequels, prequels, or even in the same story universe as one another. Their only connection is the " Super Dimension" moniker in their titles presented by Big West. Despite rumors to the contrary, ''Orguss'' was never selected to be part of ''Robotech''. Of the ''Orguss 35 episodes, only 17 were available in English. They were available in dub-only format in the early 1990s on video tape from U.S. Renditions, before the majority of the company's shows (excluding ''Orguss'') were bought up by Manga Entertainment.

Direct Commission Officer
A direct commission officer (DCO) is a United States uniformed officer who has received an appointed commission without the typical prerequisites for achieving a commission, such as attending a four-year service academy, a four-year or two-year college ROTC program, or one of the officer candidate school or officer training school programs, the latter OCS/OTS programs typically slightly over three months in length. Civilians who have special skills that are critical to sustaining military operations, supporting troops, health and scientific study may receive a direct commission upon entering service. These officers usually occupy leadership positions in the following areas: law, science, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nurse corps, intelligence, supply-logistics-transportation, engineering, public affairs, chaplain corps, oceanography, merchant marine affairs, and others. The U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard have more extensive active and reserve component DCO ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
