  2. Implicit data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_data_structure

    A trivial example of an implicit data structure is an array data structure, which is an implicit data structure for a list, and requires only the constant overhead of the length; unlike a linked list, which has a pointer associated with each data element, which explicitly gives the relationship from one element to the next.

  3. Structured interview - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_interview

    A structured interview also standardises the order in which questions are asked of survey respondents, so the questions are always answered within the same context. This is important for minimising the impact of context effects, where the answers given to a survey question can depend on the nature of preceding questions. Though context effects ...

  4. Log-structured file system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system

    A log-structured filesystem is a file system in which data and metadata are written sequentially to a circular buffer, called a log.The design was first proposed in 1988 by John K. Ousterhout and Fred Douglis and first implemented in 1992 by Ousterhout and Mendel Rosenblum for the Unix-like Sprite distributed operating system.

  5. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    Physical memory can contain pages belonging to many processes. Pages can be held on disk if seldom used, or if physical memory is full. In the diagram above, some pages are not in physical memory. A page table is a data structure used by a virtual memory system in a computer to store mappings between virtual addresses and physical addresses.

  6. Database storage structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_storage_structures

    Ordered storage typically stores the records in order and may have to rearrange or increase the file size when a new record is inserted, resulting in lower insertion efficiency. However, ordered storage provides more efficient retrieval as the records are pre-sorted, resulting in a complexity of O ( log ⁡ n ) {\displaystyle O\left(\log n ...

  7. Data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure

    A data structure known as a hash table.. In computer science, a data structure is a data organization and storage format that is usually chosen for efficient access to data. [1] [2] [3] More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data, [4] i.e., it is an algebraic structure about data.

  8. Semi-structured interview - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-structured_interview

    Since a semi-structured interview is a combination of an unstructured interview and a structured interview, it has the advantages of both. The interviewees can express their opinions and ask questions to the interviewers during the interview, which encourages them to give more useful information, such as their opinions toward sensitive issues, to the qualitative research.

  9. Logbook - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logbook

    A logbook (or log book) is a record used to record states, events, or conditions applicable to complex machines or the personnel who operate them.Logbooks are commonly associated with the operation of aircraft, nuclear plants, particle accelerators, and ships (among other applications).
