AC voltage varies with time, while DC voltage remains constant.

Server-side scripting refers to code that is executed on the server before the results are sent to the client, which is a key feature of ASP.

Locking refers to preventing data from being accessed by multiple users simultaneously to maintain data integrity during transactions.

ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load, which is the process of moving data from source systems into a data warehouse.

Denormalization refers to the process of increasing redundancy in a database to improve performance, often at the cost of data integrity.

Three-tier architecture in DBMS refers to the separation of data, application logic, and presentation layers into three distinct tiers.

Data independence means that changes to the data structure do not require changes to application programs that access the data.

Physical data independence means that changes to the physical storage of data do not affect the logical schema of the database.

In a client-server model, clients and servers share processing tasks, with clients requesting services and servers providing them.

A data model is a structure for organizing data, defining how data is connected and how it can be accessed.

Partitioning refers to dividing data into smaller, manageable pieces to improve performance and manageability in distributed databases.

Eventual consistency means that while data may not be immediately consistent across all nodes, it will become consistent over time.

FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform, which is an efficient algorithm to compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

Windowing refers to the technique of segmenting a signal into smaller parts for analysis, often used in FFT applications.

A weak entity depends on a strong entity for its existence and does not have a primary key of its own.

A weak entity represents an entity that cannot exist without a strong entity, relying on it for its identification.

An 'entity' represents a real-world object or concept in ER modeling.

Encapsulation is the concept of hiding the internal state of an object and requiring all interaction to be performed through an object's methods.

ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability, which are the properties that guarantee reliable transactions.

The DataSet in ADO.NET represents an in-memory collection of data, which can include multiple tables and relationships.

Serialization in this context refers to the process of converting a DataSet or other data structure into XML format for storage or transmission.

The Transport Layer in the TCP/IP model is responsible for ensuring reliable data transmission through protocols like TCP.

In Verilog, the keyword 'module' is used to define a module, which is a fundamental building block of the design.

The '&' operator is used for bitwise AND operations in Verilog.

The keyword 'entity' is used in VHDL to define a new entity, which represents a hardware component.

Direct Current (DC) is commonly used in battery-powered devices.

IP routing operates at the Network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model.

NAT primarily operates at the Network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model, where it modifies the IP address information in packet headers.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) operates at the Transport Layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model.

Static Logic families provide output states that are determined by input states without any delay.
