Intermediate COCOMO - Intermediate COCOMO The Intermediate COCOMO is an extension of the Basic COCOMO to consider a set of "cost driver attributes" that can be grouped into four major categories, each with a number of subcategories: Product attributes Required software reliability Size of application database Complexity of the product Hardware attributes Run-time performance constraints Memory constraints Volatility of the virtual machine environment Required turnabout time Personnel attributes Analyst capability Software engineer capability Applications experience Virtual machine experience Programming language experience Project attributes Use of software tools Application of software engineering methods Required development schedule Each of the 15 attributes is rated on a 6-point scale that ranges from "very low" to "extra high" (in importance or value). Based on the rating, an effort multiplier is determined from the.
Advanced COCOMO - Advanced COCOMO Advanced COCOMO incorporates all characteristics of the Intermediate COCOMO version with an assessment of the cost driver's impact on each step (analysis, design, etc.) of the software engineering process. Advanced COCOMO is also named Ada COCOMO..
Basic COCOMO - Basic COCOMO Basic COCOMO is a form of the COCOMO model. Cocomo may be applied to three classes of software projects. These give a general impression of the software project. Organic projects - are relatively small, simple software projects in which small teams with good application experience work to a set of less than rigid requirements. Semi-detached projects - are intermediate (in size and complexity) software project in which teams with mixed experience levels must meet a mix of rigid and less than rigid requirements. Embedded projects - are software project that must be developed within a set of tight hardware, software, and operational constraints. The basic Cocomo equations take the form E=ab(KLOC)bb D=cbdb where E is the effort applied in person-months, D is the development time.
COCOMO - COCOMO COCOMO is a model designed by Barry W. Boehm to give an estimate of the number of programmer-months it will take to develop a software product. This "COnstructive COst MOdel" is based on a study of about sixty projects at TRW, a Californian automotive and IT company, acquired by Northrop Grumman in late 2002. The programmes examined ranged in size from 2000 to 100.000 lines of code, and programming languages used ranged from assembly to PL/I. Cocomo consists of a hierarchy of three increasingly detailed and accurate forms. Basic COCOMO - is a static single-valued model that computes software development effort (and cost) as a function of program size expressed in estimated lines of code. Intermediate COCOMO - computes software development effort as function of.
Intermediate value theorem - Intermediate value theorem In calculus, the intermediate value theorem is either of two theorems of which an account is given below. Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Intermediate value theorem 1.1 Generalization 2 Intermediate value theorem of integration Intermediate value theorem The intermediate value theorem of calculus states the following: Suppose that I is an interval in the real numbers R and that f : I -> R is a continuous function. Then the image set f ( I ) is also an interval. It is frequently stated in the following equivalent form: Suppose that f : [a , b] -> R is continuous and that u is a real number satisfying f (a) < u < f (b) or f (a) > u > f (b)..
Intermediate distribution frame - Intermediate distribution frame Intermediate distribution frame (IDF): In a central office or customer premises, a frame that (a) cross-connects the user cable media to individual user line circuits and (b) may serve as a distribution point for multipair cables from the main distribution frame (MDF) or combined distribution frame (CDF) to individual cables connected to equipment in areas remote from these frames.

Intermediate-field region - Intermediate-field region Intermediate-field region: For an antenna, the transition region--lying between the near-field region and the far-field region--in which the field strength of an electromagnetic wave is dependent upon the inverse distance, inverse square of the distance, and the inverse cube of the distance from the antenna. Note: For an antenna that is small compared to the wavelength in question, the intermediate-field region is considered to exist at all distances between 0.1 wavelength and 1.0 wavelength from the antenna. Synonyms: intermediate field, intermediate zone, transition zone. Source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188.
Intermediate circular orbit - Intermediate circular orbit Intermediate circular orbit (ICO), also called medium earth orbit (MEO), is used by satellites between the altitudes of low earth orbit (up to 1400 km) and geostationary orbit (ca. 36,000 km). GPS uses a MEO satellite constellation. Medium earth orbit communications systems A number of telecommunications systems have been proposed using MEO satellite constellations. ICO was also the name of a proposed communications constellation for satellite telephony, originally developed by Inmarsat and spun off. In the wake of the financial failure of the Iridium satellite constellation, ICO also entered bankruptcy protection and delayed launching its satellites. A third proposed system was Teledesic.

Intermediate technology - Intermediate technology Intermediate technology is infrastructural capital that is at least an order of magnitude more expensive than that prevalent in a developing nation but also at least an order of magnitude less expensive than that prevalent in a developed nation offering aid. For instance, if a typical workplace costs $1 to equip with primitive tools, but a competitive modern industrial approach would require a workplace costing $1000, then the 'intermediate technologies' are those that cost $10-$100 per workplace. The term was popularized by E. F. Schumacher and his colleagues working on early human development theory in the 1960s. It was explained in depth in his book "Small is Beautiful", which offered a sharp critique of then-prevalent approaches to development aid..
Intermediate treatment of tensors - Intermediate treatment of tensors Note: The following is a modern component-based treatment of tensors (sometimes called the "classical treatment" of tensors). Read the article tensor for a simple description of tensors, or see the component-free treatment of tensors for a more abstract treatment. Note that the word "tensor" is often used as a shorthand for "tensor field", a concept which defines a tensor value at every point in a manifold. To understand tensor fields, you need to first understand tensors. A tensor is the mathematical idealization of a geometric or physical quantity whose analytic description, relative to a fixed frame of reference, consists of an array of numbers. This way of viewing tensors, called tensor analysis, was used by Einstein and is generally prefered by physicists..
Intermediate sanctions - Intermediate sanctions Intermediate sanctions is a term used in regulations enacted by the United States Internal Revenue Service that is applied to non-profit organizations who engage in transactions that inure to the benefit of a disqualified person within the organization. Allowing the IRS to penalize the organization and the disqualified person receiving the benefit. Intermediate sanctions may be imposed either in addition to or instead of revocation of the exempt status of the organization.

Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile - Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile An Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of 2750-5500 km or 1719-3437 miles. IRBMs are frequently turned into small satellite launchers via the addition of (usually multiple) upper stages. In the US this happened to both the Thor and Jupiter. A derivative of the Jupiter, the Jupiter-C launched the USs first satellite, Explorer 1. Examples Include Thor Redstone Jupiter Shavit Taepo Dong 2.
First Intermediate Period - First Intermediate Period The First Intermediate Period is a period in Ancient Egyptian history stretching from the 6th dynasty until the 11th dynasty. The Old Kingdom was weakened by famine and weak leadership. The last Pharaoh of the 6th dynasty was Pepy II who probably reigned for 94 years, longer then any monarch in history. He was 6 when he ascended the throne and 100 years old when he died. The latter years of his reign were marked by ineffeciency because of Pepy's advanced age. When he died the Old Kingdom collapsed. A dark time marked by unrest followed. The Union of the Two Kingdoms fell apart and regional leader had to cope with the famine. Around 2160 BC a new line of Pharaohs tried to reunite.
KBS-3 - Kärnbränslehantering AB by appointment from Statens Strålskyddsinstitut (the radiation protection agency). The method: The waste is first stored in intermediate storage for 30 years. The waste is encapsulated in iron. The iron capsule is encapsulated in copper. The capsule is deposited in a layer of bentonite clay, in a circular hole, 8 meters deep and with a diameter of 2 meters, drilled in a cave 500 metres down into primary rock. After the storage facility is full, the drill hole is sealed and the site marked. After 100.000 years of storage, the radioactivity level of the waste is at the same level as that of uranium ore. The first facility using this method is located in Forsmark, Sweden with space for 4500 capsules. 200 capsules are deposited in the storage anually..
Kenyanthropus platyops - 1999. The fossil found features of a broad flat face with a toe bone that suggests it probably walked upright. Teeth are intermediate between typical human and typical ape forms. There is only one described species; Kenyanthropus platyops which means "Flat faced man of Kenya". http://www.nature.com/nature/fow/010322.html - The flat faced man of Kenya (Nature).

Keratin - sieve-like structures with which whales filter food out of water), the enamel of the teeth. Keratin molecules are helical and fibrous, twisting around each other to form strands called intermediate filaments. These proteins contain a high percentage of sulfur-containing amino acids, largely cysteine, which form disulfide bridges between the individual molecules resulting in a fairly rigid structure. Human hair is approximately 14% cysteine..

Kingsway Underpass - runs from Southampton Row in Holborn, passes under the whole length of Kingsway, and emerges under Waterloo Bridge. There was an intermediate station at Aldwych. The link from Holborn to Aldwych opened in 1906, and the extension to Waterloo Bridge opened in 1908. The floor of the tunnel was lowered in 1930 and 1931 to accommodate double decker trams. The last tram used the tunnel in 1952. In 1964 most of the tunnel was converted to the Strand Underpass, for use by road traffic. The Aldwych station was demolished but the disused Holborn station remains underground. The remaining northern part of the tunnel has sometimes been used in films, for example the secret entrance to the base in the film version of The Avengers. Part of the tunnel was used as.
