The size of some one part, as the diameter of semi-diameter of the base of a shaft, taken as a unit of measure by which the proportions of the other parts of the composition are regulated
An autonomous folding unit, believed to have arisen largely as a result of genetic shuffling mechanisms Modules are contiguous in sequence and are often used as building blocks to confer a variety of complex functions on the parent protein They may be thought of as a subset of protein domains
A group of related functions that are bundled together in the software Often, a module is used by a specific set of users; for example, HR, Student, or Finance
A module is a part of a spacecraft which can operate by itself, often away from the rest of the spacecraft. A rescue plan could be achieved by sending an unmanned module to the space station. In architecture, a unit adopted to regulate the dimensions, proportions, or construction of the parts of a building. Modules based on the diameter of a column were used in Classical architecture. In Japanese architecture, room sizes were determined by combinations of standard rice mats called tatami. Both Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier used modular proportioning systems. Standardized modular design reduces waste, lowers costs, and offers ease of erection, flexible arrangement, and variety of use; however, most architects and producers of building materials continue to use modules based on their own special needs and interests
A module is one of the separate parts of a course taught at a college or university. These courses cover a twelve-week period and are organised into three four-week modules. = unit
The narrowest nominal width unit of measure in a symbol In certain symbologies, element widths may be specified as multiples of one module Equivalent to "X dimension " (2) A single cell in a matrix symbology used to encode one bit of data In MaxiCode the module shape is a regular hexagon In Data Matrix the module shape is nominally square In PDF417 the module shape is a regular rectangle In bar code symbologies the module shape is a regular rectangle
Generally, for columns, the semi-diameter is taken, and divided into a certain number of parts, called minutes (see Minute), though often the diameter is taken, and any dimension is said to be so many modules and minutes in height, breadth, or projection
In GAMS we use the term module to denote a unit of software that can be used to solve a particular problem A module can be a Fortran subprogram, a C procedure, a stand-alone program, or a command in a system Modules are what you are searching for when you use GAMS
