Passive sub-irrigation, also known as passive hydroponics or semi-hydroponics, is a method wherein plants are grown in an inert porous medium that transports water and fertilizer to the roots by capillary action from a separate reservoir as necessary, reducing labour and providing a constant supply of water to the roots.

* Passive gravitational mass is a measure of the strength of an object's interaction with a gravitational field.

Passive gravitational mass is determined by dividing an object ’ s weight by its free-fall acceleration.

Passive management ( also called passive investing ) is a financial strategy in which an investor ( or a fund manager ) invests in accordance with a pre-determined strategy that doesn't entail any forecasting ( e. g., any use of market timing or stock picking would not qualify as passive management ).

Passive management is most common on the equity market, where index funds track a stock market index, but it is becoming more common in other investment types, including bonds, commodities and hedge funds.

Passive voice is a grammatical voice common in many of the world's languages.

Passive is used in a clause whose subject expresses the theme or patient of the main verb.

Passive voice may also be useful when the semantic patient is the topic of on-going discussion.

Passive immunity ( immunity acquired by transfer of antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes from another animal ) is acquired by kits prior to birth via placental transfer.

Passive fault management is done by collecting alarms from devices ( normally via SNMP ) when something happens in the devices.

Every destination in the topology table can be marked either as " Passive ", which is the state when the routing has stabilized and the router knows the route to the destination, or " Active " when the topology has changed and the router is in the process of ( actively ) updating its route to that destination.

State is Passive, Query origin flag is 1, 1 Successor ( s ), FD is 40640000

A Passive state is a state when the router has identified the successor ( s ) for the destination.

Notice that if a successor stops satisfying the Feasibility Condition but there is at least one feasible successor available, the router will promote a feasible successor with the lowest total distance ( the distance as reported by the feasible successor plus the cost of the link to this neighbor ) to a new successor and the destination remains in the Passive state.

It is important to note that this metric represents the last time the route went from Active to Passive state.

While a route remains in Passive state, the FD is updated only if the actual distance to the destination decreases, otherwise it stays at its present value.

Passive review is the opposite of active recall, in which the learning material is processed passively ( e. g. by reading, watching, etc.

Passive review is a simple method but it is not as effective.
