Network cabling is a catchall term to describe the act of connecting multiple network devices to each other through a data transfer medium. There is a variety of methods used to connect these devices, and which method is used is largely dependent on the type of network to be installed. Each type of cable has different characteristics and capabilities, and choosing the right type of cable to use for a particular network is an integral key to the network's efficiency and long-term viability. 1, record 2, English, - network%20cabling

The rakes were lent from NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration] Glenn Research Center (Cleveland, Ohio), where they were used as throat calibration rakes in the 10- by 10-ft supersonic wind tunnel. Each rake was 2 ft tall and had 16 total-pressure elements. Each rake was fitted with two hemispherical-tip five-hole probes for flow-angle measurements; these probes also incorporated static taps for instream static-pressure measurements. 2, record 3, English, - flow%20survey%20rake

For example, airlines know that passenger load is the most critical variable affecting their profitability. Therefore they focus on increasing this figure, adding as much to shareholder value as possible without destroying value in other aspects of the business. Likewise, a television cable company knows that the number of subscribers is the all-important variable in determining their profitability. The goal of value chain analysis is to discover these key drivers of shareholder value by understanding how each activity the firm undertakes creates value for customers. 1, record 4, English, - value%20driver
