Microeconomics of Samosa [SAMOSAnomics]

Image
An analysis of total satisfaction a consumer gets while consuming Samosas ( indian snack ). A consumer gets a diminishing satisfaction after every Samosa that he consumes. Over the few samosa consumption, his satisfaction level may be zero or negative. Following graph illustrates the scientific method of look at the addition and total satisfaction of a consumer : Marginal Utility is the additional satisfaction. Total Utility is the Overall Satisfaction. The Graph above depicts that when the quantity of the consumption increases the additional satisfaction ( Marginal Utility ) decreases. Overall Satisfaction ( Total Utility ) increase for a few consumption and starts decreasing.

Vostro and Nostro accounts

Image
The terms  nostro  and  vostro  are used, mainly by banks, when one bank keeps money at another bank. Both banks need to keep records of how much money is being kept by one bank on behalf of the other. In order to distinguish between the two sets of records of the same balance and set of transactions, banks refer to the accounts as  nostro  and  vostro . Speaking from the point of view of the bank whose money is being held at another bank: A  nostro  is our account of  our  money, held by the  other bank A  vostro  is our account of  other bank  money, held by  us A  vostro  account is the same as any other bank account. It is a record of money held by a bank or owed to a bank by a third party (an individual, company or bank). The  nostro  account is a way of the bank whose money it is, keeping track of how much is being held by the other bank. It is similar to an individual keeping a detailed record of every payment in and out of his or her bank account so that she/he knows

SharePoint 2016 : What is MinRole

Image
What is MinRole? By using the new MinRole feature in SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint farm administrators can define each server’s role in a farm topology. The role of a server is specified when you create a new farm or join a server to an existing farm. SharePoint automatically configures the services on each server based on the server's role, and the performance of the farm is optimized based on that topology. Here are six predefined server roles you can choose from in SharePoint Server 2016. Read more about the roles and their descriptions in the following table: Server role Description Front-end Service applications, services, and components that serve user requests belong on Front-end web servers. These servers are optimized for low latency. Application Service applications, services, and components that serve backend requests (such as background jobs or search crawl requests) belong on Application servers. These servers are optimized for high throug

Regression Analysis Simplified with Excel

Regression analysis Regression Analysis a statistical tool for the investigation of relationships between variables. Usually, the investigator seeks to ascertain the causal effect of one variable upon another , the effect of a price increase upon demand, for example, or the effect of changes in the money supply upon the inflation rate. Regression Analysis with Excel In this example, Sales Qty is the predictable variable and Price and Advertising are the unpredictable variables. Using Regression Analysis we will find out the relationship between the variables. The big question is: is there a relation between Sales Qty (Output) and Price and Advertising (Input). In other words: can we predict Quantity Sold if we know Price and Advertising? Click on Data Analysis from the Data Menu from the ribbon as follows : Click on Regression as follows : Select the settings as shown below.  The Input Y Range is the predicable variable and the Input X is the unpredictable v

Application Lifecycle Management - SDLC with ALM

Image
SDLC with ALM  Development is certainly the fundamental part of application lifecycle management. Once the business case is approved, the software development lifecycle begins. If we expanded the SDLC parts of the Development line shown in the figure below, a modern process would probably show software development as a series of iterations. Each iteration would contain some requirements definition, some design, some development, and some testing. This iterative style of development isn’t always appropriate—some projects are still better done using more traditional methods—but it’s becoming the norm in many areas. Once the SDLC process for version 1 of the application is complete, the application is deployed. For most applications, however, deployment doesn’t mark the end of development. Instead, the application needs periodic updates, as shown in the figure, and perhaps one or more full SDLC efforts to create new versions, as in this example. For some applications, the mon
