Mixed mode - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > E-mail > Microsoft Email > Microsoft Exchange > Microsoft Exchange 2003

The default operating mode of Exchange when it is installed. Mixed mode allows Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2000 servers and servers running earlier versions of Exchange to coexist in the same organization. Mixed mode allows interoperability between versions by limiting functionality to features that are shared by both products. [Exchange 2003]

All > Technology > E-mail > Microsoft Email > Microsoft Exchange > Microsoft Exchange 2007

In a mixed mode organization, any combination of the following versions of Microsoft Exchange is deployed in a single Exchange organization: Exchange Server 4.0, Exchange Server 5.0, Exchange Server 5.5, Exchange 2000 Server, and Exchange Server 2003. By default, Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003 are installed in mixed mode. Mixed mode exists to maintain backward compatibility. However, mixed mode limits the system to the constraints that are imposed by earlier releases of Microsoft Exchange. For example, in a mixed mode organization that contains Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2003 servers, the rules that apply to Exchange 5.5 also apply to Exchange 2003. [Exchange 2007]

All > Technology > Operating System > Microsoft Windows > Microsoft Windows Server > Microsoft Active Directory

Allows domain controllers running both Windows 2000 and earlier versions of Windows NT to co-exist in the domain. In mixed mode, the domain features from previous versions of Windows NT Server are still enabled, while some Windows 2000 features are disabled. In mixed mode, the domain may have Windows NT 4.0 backup domain controllers present. Nested groups are not supported in mixed mode.

Mixed precipitation - permalink - collapse

All > Science > Climate Change

Mixed precipitation (rain and snow) Mixed precipitation (rain and snow) Precipitation consisting of a mixture of rain and wet snow. It usually occurs when the temperature of the air layer near the ground is slightly above freezing. The British term for this mixture is sleet (which has a different meaning in the United States).

mixer - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Telecommunications

1. A nonlinear analog circuit or device that accepts as its input two different frequencies (signals) and presents at its output (a) a signal equal in frequency to the sum of the frequencies of the input signals, (b) a signal equal in frequency to the difference between the frequencies of the input signals, and (c) if they are not filtered out, (c) the original input frequencies. Note: A nonlinear mixer may be used for amplitude modulation (AM) of rf carriers. See heterodyne. 2. A linear analog circuit or device that accepts as its input two or more different signals (e.g., from audio channels), adds them algebraically, and presents the sum at its output. Note: For example, a linear mixer of audio signals may be used to combine signals from several microphones for purposes of recording on a common audio track.

MJO - permalink - collapse

All > Science > Weather

Madden-Julian Oscillation- Tropical rainfall exhibits strong variability on time scales shorter than the seasonal El NiÃ±o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). These fluctuations in tropical rainfall often go through an entire cycle in 30-60 days, and are referred to as the Madden-Julian Oscillation or intraseasonal oscillations. The intraseasonal oscillations are a naturally occurring component of our coupled ocean-atmosphere system. They significantly affect the atmospheric circulation throughout the global Tropics and subtropics, and also strongly affect the wintertime jet stream and atmospheric circulation features over the North Pacific and western North America. As a result, they have an important impact on storminess and temperatures over the United States. During the summer these oscillations have a modulating effect on hurricane activity in both the Pacific and Atlantic basins.
