* See Startup company, a startup company can grow by reinvesting profits in its own growth, if its bootstrapping costs are low and return on investment is high.

A technique called bootstrapping the simulation model is used, which bootstraps initial data points using a pseudorandom number generator to schedule an initial set of pending events, which schedule additional events, and with time, the distribution of event times approaches its steady state — the bootstrapping behavior is overwhelmed by steady-state behavior.

Engelbart embedded a set of organizing principles in his lab, which he termed " bootstrapping strategy ".

The development of compilers for new programming languages first developed in an existing language but then rewritten in the new language and compiled by itself, is another example of the bootstrapping notion.

In many desktop computers, for example, the bootstrapping process begins with the CPU executing software contained in ROM ( for example, the BIOS of an IBM PC ) at a predefined address ( some CPUs, including the Intel x86 series are designed to execute this software after reset without outside help ).

In the case where the only discount rate you have is not a zero-rate ( neither taken from a zero-coupon bond nor converted from a swap rate to a zero-rate through bootstrapping ) but an annually-compounded rate ( for example if your benchmark is a US Treasury bond with annual coupons and you only have its yield to maturity, you would use an annually-compounded discount factor:

This procedure is a form of bootstrapping, as illustrated with the following example:

Historically, bootstrapping also refers to an early technique for computer program development on new hardware.

Sometimes the bootstrapper also installs other prerequisites for the software during the bootstrapping process.

A Bootstrapping Server Function ( BSF ) is an intermediary element in cellular networks which provides application independent functions for mutual authentication of user equipment and servers unknown to each other and for ' bootstrapping ' the exchange of secret session keys afterwards.

This process is known as booting, or booting up, which is short for bootstrapping.

Some of these perform bootstrapping tasks, such as ExtUtils :: MakeMaker, which is used for building and installing other extension modules ; others, like CGI. pm, are merely commonly used.

The Institute promotes Engelbart's philosophy for boosting Collective IQ — the concept of dramatically improving how we can solve important problems together — using a strategic bootstrapping approach for accelerating our progress toward that goal.

* The Marlais Dylan Interpreter-An implementation of a subset of Dylan, suitable for bootstrapping a compiler

Another type of hybrid P2P network are networks using on the one hand central server ( s ) or bootstrapping mechanisms, on the other hand P2P for their data transfers.

* It is simple, suitable for bootstrapping or other purposes without a full protocol stack, such as the DHCP and Trivial File Transfer Protocol.

Retrieval of the OS from secondary or tertiary store was thus eliminated as one of the characteristic operations for bootstrapping.

* Volume Boot Record, in computer disks, a type of boot sector that contains code for bootstrapping programs

Statistical techniques such as bootstrapping and jackknifing help in providing reliability estimates for the positions of haplotypes within the evolutionary trees.

The first compiler for a new programming language can be written in another language ( in rare cases, machine language ) or can be produced using bootstrapping.

According to the project Application Manager during the project, Acorn was developing for it, Compiler for Acorn Modula-2 Extended Language ( CAMEL in Modula-2 +) bootstrapping from an Acorn Extended Modula-2 ( AEM2 ) compiler ( ported from Modula-2 ETH using Econet hardware ), though never released externally, it was ported to use it in SUN Unix machines, in an effort to port Sun's workstations Sun NeWS to the Archimedes, and after Olivetti bought out Acorn, developed a compiler based on CAMEL for the Modula-3 programming Language.

Suitable for bootstrapping a larger, X11 system.

The Gnutella2 protocol still uses the old " GNUTELLA CONNECT / 0. 6 " handshake string for its connections as defined in the gnutella 0. 6 specifications, which was criticized by the GDF as an attempt to use the gnutella network for bootstrapping the new, unrelated network, while proponents of the network claimed that its intent was to remain backwards-compatible with gnutella to allow current gnutella clients to add Gnutella2 at their leisure.

Richard Dawkins in his book River Out of Eden used the computer bootstrapping concept to explain how biological cells differentiate: " Different cells receive different combinations of chemicals, which switch on different combinations of genes, and some genes work to switch other genes on or off.

Sometimes the bootstrapper installs other prerequisites for the software during the bootstrapping process too.

Although other services opposed such " bootstrapping ", they did not have the IBM 704 computer that SAC used to analyze target priorities so could not offer competing selection lists.

Compilers, linkers, loaders, and utilities were then coded in assembly language, further continuing the bootstrapping process of developing complex software systems by using simpler software.

A bootstrapping node, also known as a rendezvous host, is a node in an overlay network that provides initial configuration information to newly joining nodes so that they may successfully join the overlay network.

Seed AI is a significant part of some theories about the technological singularity: proponents believe that the development of seed AI will rapidly yield ever-smarter intelligence ( via bootstrapping ) and thus a new era.

And so the bootstrapping continues, until we have the full repertoire of different kinds of cells.

The term ' bootstrapping ' is related to building a security relation with a previously unknown device first and to allow installing security elements ( keys ) in the device and the BSF afterwards.

The most complete coverage of Engelbart's bootstrapping ideas can be found in Boosting Our Collective IQ, by Douglas C. Engelbart, 1995.

Such systems usually load statically-linked servers to make an initial bootstrap or mount an OS image to continue bootstrapping.

This was, however, one of the first instances ( if not the first ) of compiler bootstrapping.

Since the IBM 701 in the 1950s, some bootstrapping process has been used to load programs and operating systems into the main memory.

Another growth factor is increased consumer demand for better quality and larger quantities of fabrics that go with a rising standard of living.

The extracts are generally no longer used to reduce or inhibit tumor growth, for which verifiable results have been found in vitro and in animal studies but not in humans, but instead to improve the patients ' quality of life and to reduce tumor-induced symptoms and the side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

In Britain particularly, good quality building stone became ever more expensive during a period of rapid growth, and it became a common practice to construct prestige buildings from the new industrial bricks, and to finish them with a stucco to imitate stone.

The U. S. Agency for International Development ( USAID ) mission is focused on improving access of underserved populations to quality health care and combating HIV / AIDS and tuberculosis ; promoting economic growth through policy reform, support for CAFTA-DR implementation, and technical assistance to small producers and tourism groups ; environmental protection and policy reform initiatives ; improved access to quality primary, public education and assistance to at-risk youth ; a model rural electrification program ; and improving participation in democratic processes, while strengthening the judiciary and combating corruption across all sectors.

In the modern world, economic growth and the spread of democracy have raised the value of education and increased the importance of ensuring that all children and adults have access to high quality and effective education.

It may crowd out desirable plants, disturb soil, stunt the growth of young seedlings, steal or damage fruit, or otherwise kill plants, hamper their growth, damage their appearance, or reduce the quality of the edible or ornamental portions of the plant.

Nehru's industrial policies, summarised in the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956, encouraged the growth of diverse manufacturing and heavy industries, yet state planning, controls and regulations began to impair productivity, quality and profitability.

Farmed stocks are often selectively bred to increase disease and parasite resistance, as well as improving growth rates and quality of products.

However, recent research suggests that neurocognitive, psychosocial, quality of life, growth, nutrition, bone pathology are slightly suboptimal if diet is not supplemented with amino acids.

These measures were applied with successful results along with the government's policy of the Magical Hexagon which consists of full employment, social equality, economic growth, environmental quality, positive trade balance and price stability.

It is worth noting that the major factors accounting for the quality of monetary policy are: rate of monetary base growth, rates of changes of velocity of money and rates of real GDP growth.

There are many goals of Smarth Growth and they include: making the community more competitive for new businesses, providing alternative places to shop, work, and play, creating a better " Sense of Place ," providing jobs for residents, increasing property values, improving quality of life, expanding the tax base, preserving open space, controlling growth, and improving safety.

This is the cumulative growth of human capital formation generated by superior quality of manpower in the succeeding generation as compared to the preceding generation.

With the growth of the deerskin trade, the Cherokee were valuable trading partners, since deer-skins from the cooler country of their mountain hunting-grounds were of a better quality than those supplied by neighboring tribes.

The standard of living includes factors such as income, quality and availability of employment, class disparity, poverty rate, quality and affordability of housing, hours of work required to purchase necessities, gross domestic product, inflation rate, number of vacation days per year, affordable ( or free ) access to quality healthcare, quality and availability of education, life expectancy, incidence of disease, cost of goods and services, infrastructure, national economic growth, economic and political stability, political and religious freedom, environmental quality, climate and safety.
