A version of Group Policy called Local Group Policy (LGPO or LocalGPO) allows Group Policy Object management without Active Directory on standalone computers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Active Directory servers disseminate group policies by listing them in their LDAP directory under objects of class groupPolicyContainer .
GPO may refer to: Government and politics. General Post Office, Dublin; General Post Office, in Britain; Social Security Government Pension Offset, a provision ...
The G-index does not directly measure light pollution, but rather says something about the color of light coming from a lamp. For example, since the equation defining G-index is normalised to total flux, if twice as many lamps are used, the G-index would not change; it is a measure of fractional light, not total light.
Deviation is positive if a compass bearing mark (e.g., compass north) is right of the related magnetic bearing (e.g., magnetic north) and vice versa. For example, if the boat is aligned to magnetic north and the compass' north mark points 3° more east, deviation is +3°.
Like the North Magnetic Pole, the North Geomagnetic Pole attracts the north pole of a bar magnet and so is in a physical sense actually a magnetic south pole. It is the center of the 'open' magnetic field lines which connect to the interplanetary magnetic field and provide a direct route for the solar wind to reach the ionosphere.
The North Pole lies in the Arctic Ocean while the South Pole is in Antarctica. North and South poles are also defined for other planets or satellites in the Solar System , with a North pole being on the same side of the invariable plane as Earth's North pole.
Because the Earth's field vector is much stronger than the anomaly field, a modern magnetometer measures the sum of the Earth's field and the component of the anomaly field in the direction of the Earth's field. Sections of crust magnetized at high latitudes have magnetic vectors that dip steeply downward in a normal geomagnetic field.
The rod, perch, or pole (sometimes also lug) is a surveyor's tool [1] and unit of length of various historical definitions. In British imperial and US customary units , it is defined as 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet , equal to exactly 1 ⁄ 320 of a mile , or 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 yards (a quarter of a surveyor's chain ), and is exactly 5.0292 meters.
