A process whereby artificial and unwanted norms of behaviour and models of behaviour are made to seem natural and wanted, through propaganda, influence, imitation and conformity
In relational database design, a process that breaks down data into record groups for efficient processing, by eliminating redundancy
Any process that makes something more normal or regular, which typically means conforming to some regularity or rule, or returning from some state of abnormality
A process of removing alternate representations of equivalent sequences from textual data, to convert the data into a form which can be binary-compared for equivalence In the Unicode Standard, normalization refers specifically to processing to ensure that canonically equivalent (and/or compatibility-equivalent) strings have unique representations For more information, see Unicode Standard Annex #15, "Unicode Normalization Forms "
A process for structuring data to organize it into its most natural, stable, subject-oriented, shareable, and non-redundant form
A method used to eliminate redundancy in data definitions, especially for entity relationship models Different levels of normalization are defined with a set of qualifying constraints for the definitions The most common normal forms are referred to as first though fifth normal forms
{i} act of making normal; process of establishing normal diplomatic relations between two countries (also normalisation)
the imposition of standards or regulations; "a committee was appointed to recommend terminological standardization"
The process of structuring data to minimize duplication and inconsistencies The process usually involves breaking down a single table into two or more tables and defining relationships between those tables normalization is usually done in stages, with each stage applying more stringent rules to the types of information which can be stored in a table While full adherence to normalization principles increases the efficiency of a particular database, the process can become so convoluted that you need a professional to create and understand the table design Most people, when creating a database, don't need to go beyond the third level of normalization, called third normal form Generally, there is no real need to know the terminology, applying the principles of normalization are generally enough unless you get caught at a dinner party with a database designer
The process of grouping data elements into tables in a way that simplifies retrieval, reduces data entry and storage, and minimizes the likelihood of data inconsistencies
Normalization refers to the process of decomposing base relations using projection to eliminate potential redundancy
For rate-making purposes, the adjustments to historic test year sales, revenues, and expenses to reflect differences from expected normal weather patterns
Eliminating redundancy in a database using the relational database model The objective is to increase capacity by eliminating wasted storage The downside is performance
(The Council)*-refers to making the commonly accepted patterns and conditions of everyday life available to people with developmental disabilities
A mathematical manipulation that scales a function or a set of data to a particular value
The process of removing redundancy by modularizing, as with subroutines, and of removing superfluous differences by reducing them to a common denominator For example, line endings from different systems are normalized by reducing them to a single NL, and multiple whitespace characters are normalized to one space
A technique for converting complex databases into ones that are simple and clear
This effect permanently adjusts the amplitude (volume, essentially) of your audio to a certain value Normalization is particularly useful when creating a CD using tracks from many different CDs or MP3 files The volume of each track will be slightly different from the others; normalization will set them each to the same volume for a consistent final CD This effect is available in Blaze Audio's audio editors RipEditBurn and Wave Creator
In DB design, a set of rules guiding the definition of structurally well-formed relations for relational database implementation See most any database management text for detailed explanation, for example (Date, 1995, Elmasri & Navathe, 2000, or Teorey, 1999) among many others
This principle addresses the provision of ensuring that individuals with disabilities (especially individuals with mental retardation) have life patterns resembling members in the general community as much as possible
The process of increasing the overall level of a sound file by boosting the loudest peak in the file up to the maximum 0dB point If you are working with pre-recorded material, you will want to normalize your sound files before converting them to web formats Normalization maximizes the dynamic range of a sound file, enhances a sound by making it more present or clear, and sets a uniform volume or amplitude level for a group of sound files recorded or mixed at different volume levels
Actions taken to make a medical experience or setting as comfortable, normal, and familiar as possible, which help children feel more secure and in control
A Normalized Requirement is fully conformant with the OeBF Ontology Topic-specific Working Groups will create individual Normalized Requirements based upon abduction, conflation, extraction, decomposition and harmonization of Raw Requirements that fall within the scope of the individual Working Group Charter Where appropriate, several Stakeholder ("Raw") Requirements will be antecedent to a single Normalized Requirement Often, a single Stakeholder Requirement will spawn several Normalized Requirements An unambiguous statement characterizes each Normalized Requirement in full accordance with principles and terms defined within the OeBF Ontology and, specifically, the OeBF Framework for an ePublishing Ecology An individual Topic-specific Working Group owns each Normalized Requirement
Transformation of data to a normal form--for example, to unify spelling (See Section 5 7, Normalization )
After we properly normalize the measurements with respect to age, gender, geography and economic considerations, there remains little evidence of a difference between the two groups.
Creation of a database according to the five generally accepted rules of normal forms Normalisation is a technique designed to ensure that the data structures used in a system are efficient and maintain integrity
The principle that, whatever a person's disability, their daily life should follow the rhythms and patterns of the daily lives of the majority of people in their society Invented by Nirje in the 1970s and developed by Wolfensberger in the 1980s, the concept has been superseded by social role valorisation
The use of culturally normative, and optimally even culturally valued means to enable (societally devalued) persons to acheive and maintain valued social roles (Wolfensberger & Thomas, 1983)
A Normalizer program ( for instants in the Audiograbber software ) searches for the peak volume levels of the songs that are about to be converted to MP3´s The peak levels are proportionally euqalized to the same volume level MPeX net Tools
(v ) To adjust the fixed-point and exponent parts of a floating-point representation so that the fixed-point parts are in a specific range Also called standardize
A DSP (Digital Signal Processing) function Normalizing increases the gain of an audio file until its loudest point (or sample) is at maximum level There are several benefits to this: First, the overall signal level is now higher, which makes subsequent gear in the audio chain perform better Second, the signal is now taking advantage of the full resolution of the D/A converters; this also minimizes quantization noise in some cases
If people, groups, or governments normalize relations, or when relations normalize, they become normal or return to normal. The two governments were close to normalizing relations The United States says they are not prepared to join in normalizing ties with their former enemy If relations between Hanoi and Washington begin to normalise, anything is possible. + normalization nor·mali·za·tion The two sides would like to see the normalisation of diplomatic relations
usually refers to amplifying a signal by a constant value to fill the available bitwidth range; also used in the Signalyze manual to refer to standardizing a file's numeric type, bit width and sampling frequency when changing file formats
nor·mal·ize normalizes normalizing normalized in BRIT, also use normalise1. When you normalize a situation or when it normalizes, it becomes normal. Meditation tends to lower or normalize blood pressure There may be some deep-seated emotional reason which has to be dealt with before your eating habits normalize
To create a consistent set of terms and product descriptions, often using industry-specific translation software Primarily used by catalog aggregators, normalization technology requires translating schema or structures in product databases (See ontology )
A method of building data bases designed to reduce the amount of repeated data and protect data integrity Normalized data bases usually store information fairly efficiently, but often result in data bases with many tables
A collection of numeric data is normalized by subtracting the minimum value from all values and dividing by the range of the data This yields data with a similarly shaped histogram but with all values between 0 and 1 It is useful to do this for all inputs into neural nets and also for inputs into other regression models (Also see standardize )
To collapse two or more adjacent text nodes in the document tree into one text node This ensures that the tree structure will match tree structure generated when the document is stored and reloaded The element object offers a normalize method
ROOMS lets you use any bitmap ( bmp) or sound ( wav) files when creating your desktop world If you want to publish or distribute a ROOMS world, you need to make sure these files are included with it The normalizer reads a ROOMS world file ( rwq) and copies any files which it refers to into a local folder The normalizer also changes the reference in the ROOMS world file to point to that same local folder All you need do then is copy the new local folder in its entirety to another PC (which has ROOMS) and that PC can run the world you created
