The Beatles' Red and Blue compilations are issued on CD for the first time next month. Democratic Republic of the Congo (in Internet addresses). The symbol for the element cadmium. candela. cord. compact disc a small circular piece of hard plastic on which high quality recorded sound or large quantities of information can be stored
An abbreviation of the term Compact Disc (a small optical disk with digital audio recorded on it)
abbreviation for clusters of differentiation Groups of monoclonal antibodies that identify the same surface molecule The cell surface molecule is designated CD followed by a number (e g CD4 and CD8)
Compact Disk A standard medium for storage of digital data in a machine-readable form, accessible with a laser-based reader CD's are 4-3/4" in diameter, and are faster and more accurate than magnetic tape for data storage Faster, because even though data is generally written on a CD contiguously within each track, the tracks themselves are directly accessible
Drag coefficient or coefficient of drag It is determined by the shape and smoothness of shape of the object In this case the car
The abbreviation for compact disc, a laser-encoded plastic medium designed to store a large amount of data A variety of CD formats are available for use by computers
A 4 75 inch (12cm) optical disc that contains information (usually musical) encoded digitally in the CLV format Popular format for high fidelity music, offering 90 dB signal/noise ratio, 74 minutes of digital sound, and no degradation of quality from playback The standards for this format (developed by NV Philips and Sony Corporation) are known as the Red Book The official (and rarely used) designation for the audio-only format is CD-DA (compact disc-digital audio) The simple audio format is also known as CD-A (compact disc-audio) A smaller (3") version of the CD is known as CD-3
abbreviation for "cluster of differentiation," referring to cell surface molecules that are used to identify stages of maturity of immune cells, for example, CD4+ T cells
"Compact Disc" A 12 cm optical disc used to store digital data, either audio or computer data CD-ROM stands for "Compact Disc Read-Only Memory" Read only means that you can't write information back to them The capacity of each disc is over 600 megabytes - equivalent to several hundred floppy disks See also: Compact Disc (Webopedia)
Carrier Detect Signal that indicates whether an interface is active Also, a signal generated by a modem indicating that a call has been connected
a soft bluish-white ductile malleable toxic bivalent metallic element; occurs in association with zinc ores
Compact Disc A standard medium for storage of digital data in machine-readable form, accessible with a laser-based reader CDs are 4-3/4'' in diameter CDs are faster and more accurate than magnetic tape for data storage Faster, because even though data is generally written on a CD contiguously within each track, the tracks themselves are directly accessible This means the tracks can be accessed and played back in any order More accurate, because data is recorded directly into binary code; mag tape requires data to be translated into analog form Also, extraneous noise (tape hiss) associated with mag tape is absent from CDs
Current Direction Refers to the direction of current flow at a particular instance in the alternating current (a c) cycle Forward current flow indicates target cable Reverse current flow indicates signal (tone) has 'bled' or 'coupled' to adjacent line
Abbreviation for compact disc; a high-capacity storage medium using optical technology on a 4 75-inch plastic platter that stores up to 72 minutes of music or over 600 megabytes of digital information
the basic unit of luminous intensity adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites; equal to 1/60 of the luminous intensity per square centimeter of a black body radiating at the temperature of 2,046 degrees Kelvin
Compact Disc Read-Only Memory-a technology that is a format and system for storing and retrieving electronic information on a compact disc that is read using an optical drive
CD ROM stands for Compact Disk Read-Only Memory CD ROMs store and read massive amounts of information on a removable disk platter or solid state storage chip Unlike the data on hard drives and diskettes, data on CD ROMs can only be read--not altered--by the user Also called "firmware "

Known by its abbreviation, CD, a compact disc is a polycarbonate with one or more metal layers capable of storing digital information The most prevalent types of compact discs are those used by the music industry to store digital recordings and CD-ROMs used to store computer data Both of these types of compact disc are read-only, which means that once the data has been recorded onto them, they can only be read, or played Another type of compact disc, called CD-Rs and CD_RWs, can have their data erased and overwritten by new data Currently, erasable optical storage is too slow to be used as a computer's main storage facility, but as the speed improves and the cost comes down, optical storage devices are becoming a popular alternative to tape systems as a backup method
A plastic disc which contains information that can be read using a Laser beam Can hold 650Megabytes of data A standard CD is read only (you can't alter the data on the disc) But there are new CDs that you can write to once (called CD-R) and even a CD that you can use than delete then use again (called CD-RW) See Optical Disc, DVD
