A glossary of backup terms is a collection of definitions and explanations of key concepts, terminology, and jargon commonly used in the context of data backup and recovery. Understanding these terms can help individuals and organizations effectively manage their data and implement robust backup strategies. Below is a glossary of some important backup-related terms: ### A - **Archiving**: The process of moving data that is not regularly accessed to a separate storage location for long-term retention.
The IBM 7340 is a model of a magnetic tape drive that was part of IBM's line of storage devices. It was designed for use with IBM mainframe computers and other compatible systems during the mid-20th century. The IBM 7340 was known for its ability to read and write data on magnetic tape, providing an efficient means of data storage and retrieval at the time.
A single operon may produce multiple different transcription units depending on certain conditions, see: operon vs transcription unit.
For an example, see E. Coli K-12 MG1655 operon thrLABC.
Multiple different transcription units can be produced by a single operon, see: operon vs transcription unit.
Consider the E. Coli K-12 MG1655 operon thrLABC.
That single operon can produce two different mRNA transcription units:
- thrL only, the transcription unit is also called thrL: biocyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?object=TU0-42486
- thrL + thrA + thrB + thrC all together, the transcription unit is called thrLABC: biocyc.org/ECOLI/NEW-IMAGE?type=OPERON&object=TU00178
The reason for this appears to be that there is a rho-independent termination region after thrL. But then under certain conditions, that must get innactivated, and then the thrLABC is produced instead.
Multiple genes coding for multiple proteins in one transcription unit, e.g. e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene thrL and e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene thrA are both prat of the E. Coli K-12 MG1655 operon thrLABC.
The Ryu–Takayanagi conjecture is a theoretical proposal in the field of theoretical physics, particularly in the context of quantum gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates gravitational theories in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space to conformal field theories (CFT) defined on the boundary of that space.
A **current loop** is a method used in industrial automation and instrumentations for transmitting analog signals over long distances. The most common type is the 4-20 mA current loop, where a current of 4 milliamperes represents the lowest end of the measurable range (often 0), and 20 milliamperes represents the highest end (often 100%).
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
