Database Concepts: From SQLite to Normalization
Q. Describe SQLite
SQLite is a lightweight, self-contained relational database management system (RDBMS) that doesn’t require a separate server process. It’s embedded directly into the end program, making it ideal for small to medium-sized applications, especially those with low to medium traffic. It supports standard SQL syntax and provides most of the features of a traditional database system, including transactions and ACID compliance. It’s widely used in mobile apps, embedded systems, and as

Surface Engineering Techniques and Applications
1. XRD Techniques Used for Stress Measurements
It uses Bragg’s law = 2dsenĪ, the elastic relation to obtain stress value.
Advantages:
- Non-destructive
- Fast, simple
- Can be done in situ
- High accuracy
Disadvantages:
It is much more accurate for measuring large crystalline structures rather than small ones.
Examples:
- Sampling of geological specimens
- Material characterization
2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
Definition: A chemical process used to produce high-purity, high-performance solid materials.
Experimental

Topic 12: Correctors of Vehicle Braking Systems
Correctors adapt the operation of braking systems to different vehicle weights and load distributions. They compensate for variations in braking circumstances.
Limit Fixed Compensator Output
Hydraulic pressure toward the axis with less support is limited.
Integrated Compensators
These compensating brakes are located directly on the brake calipers and do not rely on external parameters.
Deceleration-Based Compensators
These compensators

Programming Support of Google App Engine
This section introduces the Google App Engine infrastructure. We describe the programming model supported by GAE. The access links to the GAE platform are provided.
a) Programming the Google App Engine
Several web resources and specific books and articles discuss how to program GAE. We summarize some key features of GAE programming model for two supported languages: Java and Python. A client environment that includes an Eclipse plug-in for Java allows you to

Architectural Design of Compute and Storage Clouds: This section presents basic cloud design principles. We start with basic cloud architecture to process massive amounts of data with a high degree of parallelism. Then we study virtualization support, resource provisioning, infrastructure management, and performance modeling. A) Generic Cloud Architecture Design: An Internet cloud is envisioned as a public cluster of servers provisioned on demand to perform collective web services or distributed
