Relational data refers to structured information that reflects the relationship between each data point in a tabular format. Each data instance is defined through a row and each property, or item that denotes the relationship between the data points, is defined as a column. Relationships are based on how the data interacts together. 2, record 1, English, - relational%20data

Trickle irrigation laterals can be divided into two categories : line source emitters and point source emitters. Line source emitters are used when plants are closely spaced within a row, with rows several feet apart as with most vegetable crops.... Point source emitters are used when widely spaced point sources of water are needed, as in the case of large containers or orchard crops where the trees are spaced several feet apart in each direction. This type of system utilizes one(or more) emitting device attached to a pipeline at or near the base of the plant, irrigating a single container or a bulb of soil surrounding the root mass of one plant. 3, record 7, English, - in%2Dline%20emitter

Emitters also come factory-installed in polyethylene tubing; these are often referred to as "in-line" emitters or emitter lines. Spaced 12, 18, 24, or 36 inches apart, they deliver 1/2, 1, or 2 gph and are available in non-pressure-compensating and pressure-compensating versions. Some emitter lines are infused with a small amount of herbicide to prevent root intrusion; these can be buried and used to water lawns. 1, record 7, English, - in%2Dline%20emitter

There are tow types of matrix multiplication : scalar-by-matrix multiplication and matrix-by-matrix multiplication. As a noun, a scalar is a single number or scale factor that all the matrix elements are multiplied by in scalar multiplication. This is used to scale down all the elements of a matrix in equal proportion. In graphics, this is used on row and column vectors that represent points in space. It moves a point radially toward or away from the origin(0, 0, 0). This is often done to put the values of x, y, and z within a range that graphics routines can more easily handle, especially when integer arithmetic is being performed. 1, record 8, English, - scalar%2Dby%2Dmatrix%20multiplication
