The current use of exchange prefixes for each area code is listed by CNAC ; if an exchange changes from " plant test " to reclaimed or active, any former test numbers with the associated prefix are invalidated.

To express even smaller angles, standard SI prefixes can be employed ; in particular, the milliarcsecond, abbreviated mas, is used in astronomy.

The lowercase letter o for octet is defined as the symbol for octet in IEC 80000-13 and is commonly used in several non-English languages ( e. g., French and Romanian ), and is also used with metric prefixes ( for example, ko and Mo )

While the numerical difference between the decimal and binary interpretations is relatively small for the prefixes kilo and mega, it grows to over 20 % for prefix yotta, illustrated in the linear-log graph ( at right ) of difference versus storage size.

Industry practice, more thoroughly documented at Timeline of binary prefixes and continuing today, is to specify hard drives using SI prefixes and symbols in their SI or " decimal " interpretation.

There is also a traditional convention in English that surnames beginning Mc and M are listed as if those prefixes were written Mac.

It is commonly used with the SI prefixes milli -, kilo -, mega -, giga -, tera -, or peta-( meV, keV, MeV, GeV, TeV and PeV respectively ).

File systems and software often list file sizes or free space in some mixture of SI units and binary units ; they sometimes use SI prefixes to refer to binary interpretation – that is using a label of gigabyte or GB for a number computed in terms of gibibytes ( GiB ), continuing the confusion.

This position is endorsed by other standards organizations including the IEEE, the International Committee for Weights and Measures ( CIPM ) and the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), but the binary prefixes have seen limited acceptance.

* The tense – aspect that is formed by prefixes could denote either the present ( especially frequentative ) or the future, as well as frequentative past in Biblical Hebrew ( some scholars argue that it simply denoted imperfective aspect ), while in modern Hebrew it is always future.

It is important to understand that hull number letter prefixes are not acronyms, and should not be carelessly treated as abbreviations of ship type classifications.

Unlike domain names on the Internet, there is no globally defined list of interwiki prefixes, so owners of a wiki must define a mapping appropriate to their needs.

Renumbering an existing network for a new connectivity provider with different routing prefixes is a major effort with IPv4.

With regard to the second and / or third letters in the prefixes in the list below, if the country in question is allocated all callsigns with A to Z in that position, then that country can also use call signs with the digits 0 to 9 in that position.

For example, the United States is assigned KA – KZ, and therefore can also use prefixes like KW0 or K1.

However, a second definition and usage has historically been in practice in many fields of computer science and information technology, which defines the prefix kilo when used with byte or bit units of data as 1024 ( 2 < sup > 10 </ sup >); this is due to the mathematical coincidence that Thus, in these fields 1 kilobyte is equal to 1 kibibyte, a new unit standardized as part of the binary prefixes to resolve the ambiguity.

In these countries, the symbol L is also used with prefixes, as in mL and µL, instead of the traditional ml and µl used in Europe.

In the UK and Ireland as well as the rest of Europe, lowercase l is used with prefixes, though whole litres are often written in full ( so, " 750 ml " on a wine bottle, but often " 1 litre " on a juice carton ).

In the SI system, use of prefixes for powers of 1, 000 is preferred and all other multiples discouraged.

City codes ( i. e., internal prefixes ) changed from two digits to three ( or, from outside Ethiopia, one digit to two ).

Although the metric system has changed and developed since its inception, its basic concepts have hardly changed-it was designed for transnational use ; it consisted of a basic set of units of measurement, now known as base units ; derived units were built up from the base units using logical rather than empirical relationships while multiples and submultiples of both base and derived units were decimal based and identified by a standard set of prefixes.

On 8 March 2004, the network carried out a major rebranding scheme where all of the UKTV channels changed their prefixes from UK to UKTV.

There was a competition to find a name for North Springwood when the Geographical Names Board wanted to remove the compass prefixes from the names of towns and suburbs of New South Wales and I think that the only one changed was North Springwood, the local community had a lot of public meetings about the name change.

But they changed their minds to allocate " CA " prefix after " BZ ", and in 2003, " BA " and " BF " prefixes were available for auction.

SI prefixes are frequently combined with the word second to denote subdivisions of the second, e. g., the millisecond ( one thousandth of a second ), the microsecond ( one millionth of a second ), and the nanosecond ( one billionth of a second ).

The prefixes, including those introduced after 1960, are used with any metric unit, whether officially included in the SI or not ( e. g. millidynes and milligauss ).

Metric prefixes rarely appear with imperial or US units except in some special cases ( e. g., microinches, kilofeet, kilopound or ' kip ').

They are also occasionally used with currency units ( e. g., gigadollar ), mainly by people who are familiar with the prefixes from scientific usage.

The binary interpretation of the metric prefixes causes relatively small differences with the smallest prefixes in the series, i. e. for kilo and mega, but grows to substantial differences beyond ( see binary prefix: deviation between powers of 1024 and powers of 1000 ).

The international standard for SI states that in a forming a compound unit symbol, " Multiplication must be indicated by a space or a half-high ( centered ) dot (·), since otherwise some prefixes could be misinterpreted as a unit symbol " ( i. e., kW h or kW · h ).

" A name composed wholly of specially coined or selected syllables, with or without numerical prefixes ; e. g. pentane, oxazole.

In Bantu languages the name of the land and the name of the inhabitants will have a common root distinguished by different prefixes ( e. g. Buganda, land, and Baganda, inhabitants ).

* First, although sometimes omitted, a two or three letter prefix which indicates the manufacturer of the device ( e. g. SN for Texas Instruments, DM for National Semiconductor ) although these codes are no longer closely associated with a single manufacturer, for example Fairchild Semiconductor manufactures parts with MM and DM prefixes, and none.

Otherwise she more properly prefixes either her forename or the word Dowager, e. g. " Jane, Countess of Loamshire " or " Dowager Countess of Loamshire ".

Some regular area codes may be deceptively similar to toll-free prefixes ( e. g., 801, 818, 860, etc .).

For example, an adjective can be negated by using the prefix un-( e. g. unable ), in-( e. g. inappropriate ), dis-( e. g. dishonest ), or a-( e. g. amoral ), or through the use of one of a myriad related but rarer prefixes, all modified versions of the first four.

Affixes normally carry only grammatical meaning < sup > plenty of English prefixes carry semantic significance, e. g. " pre -", " anti -", " re -", " meta -", " ante -", " co -", " de -", " pseudo -", " hyper -", etc .</ sup >.

Depending on the linguist, the distinction is variously thought to reflect either presence or absence of prefixes, an accentual or length distinction on the main vowel, or some sort of register distinction ( e. g. pharyngealization of the initial consonant in type-A syllables ).

The above dialog only addresses greeting one person because some words change into multiple others e. g. " Wasuzotya " is the combination of a singular prefix ( Wa-you ), word ( sula-sleep ), and singular postfix ( otya-How did ) spoken as one with a plural form that subsequently becomes " Mwasuze mutya " which is composed of two distinct words emerging from two different plural prefixes, a word, and the plural form of the postfix.

The prefixes de -, des-and dez-( e. g. dezoito " eighteen ") vary from word to word and speaker to speaker between and.

Both settlements that are to be distinguished can have opposing prefixes ( e. g. Niederschönhausen and Hohenschönhausen ), but it is also common to attach the prefix only to one of them ( e. g. Stettin and Neustettin ).
