Definitions of NODE

1. A knot, knob, protuberance or swelling.
2. Acronym of New Oxford Dictionary of English.
3. (engineering) The point at which the lines of a funicular machine meet from different angular directions.
4. (astronomy) The point where the orbit of a planet, as viewed from the Sun, intersects the ecliptic. The ascending and descending nodes refer respectively to the points where the planet moves from South to North and N to S; their respective symbols are ☊ and ☋.
5. (botany) A leaf node.
6. (networking) A computer or other device attached to a network.
7. (geometry) The point at which a curve crosses itself, being a double point of the curve. See crunode and acnode.
8. (geometry) A similar point on a surface, where there is more than one tangent-plane.
9. (graph theory) A vertex or a leaf in a graph of a network, or other element in a data structure.
10. (medicine) A hard concretion or incrustation which forms upon bones attacked with rheumatism, gout, or syphilis; sometimes also, a swelling in the neighborhood of a joint.
11. (physics) A point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude.
12. (rare) The knot, intrigue, or plot of a dramatic work.
13. (technical) A hole in the gnomon of a sundial, through which passes the ray of light which marks the hour of the day, the parallels of the Sun's declination, his place in the ecliptic, etc.
14. (computational linguistics) The word of interest in a KWIC, surrounded by left and right cotexts.
15. (electronics) A region of an electric circuit connected only by (ideal) wires (i.e. the voltage between any two points on the same node must be zero).
16. (syntax) A point in a parse tree that can be assigned a syntactic category label.
17. (biology) A point in a cladogram from which two clades branch, representing the presumed ancestor.

Examples of Using NODE in a Sentence

• In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property.
• In computer science, a binary search tree (BST), also called an ordered or sorted binary tree, is a rooted binary tree data structure with the key of each internal node being greater than all the keys in the respective node's left subtree and less than the ones in its right subtree.
• In computer science, a binary tree is a tree data structure in which each node has at most two children, referred to as the left child and the right child.
• The Document Object Model (DOM) is a cross-platform and language-independent interface that treats an HTML or XML document as a tree structure wherein each node is an object representing a part of the document.
• In power engineering, a "bus" is any graph node of the single-line diagram at which voltage, current, power flow, or other quantities are to be evaluated.
• Flood fill, also called seed fill, is a flooding algorithm that determines and alters the area connected to a given node in a multi-dimensional array with some matching attribute.
• In a regular grid topology, each node in the network is connected with two neighbors along one or more dimensions.
• In computer science, a heap is a tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property: In a max heap, for any given node C, if P is a parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C.
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on labels rather than network addresses.
• Sinoatrial node and atrioventricular node, specialized tissues in the heart responsible for initiating and coordinating the heartbeat.
• A plane graph can be defined as a planar graph with a mapping from every node to a point on a plane, and from every edge to a plane curve on that plane, such that the extreme points of each curve are the points mapped from its end nodes, and all curves are disjoint except on their extreme points.
• The primary direction of the system is the March equinox, the ascending node of the ecliptic (red) on the celestial equator (blue).
• Radius (graph theory), the minimum distance from a graph's node to the node that is farthest from it.
• These constraints mean there are no cycles or "loops" (no node can be its own ancestor), and also that each child can be treated like the root node of its own subtree, making recursion a useful technique for tree traversal.
• Some say that the direction of rotation reflects the direction that a node is moving upon rotation (a left child rotating into its parent's location is a right rotation) while others say that the direction of rotation reflects which subtree is rotating (a left subtree rotating into its parent's location is a left rotation, the opposite of the former).
• All the children of a node have a common prefix of the string associated with that parent node, and the root is associated with the empty string.
• The command reports the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host (remote node) along the route to a destination.
• GEGL is modelled after a directed acyclic graph, where each node represents an image operation (called "operators" or "ops"), and each edge represents an image.
• NUMA is beneficial for workloads with high memory locality of reference and low lock contention, because a processor may operate on a subset of memory mostly or entirely within its own cache node, reducing traffic on the memory bus.
• In concept, burst switching is similar to connectionless mode transmission, but differs in that burst switching implies an intent to establish the switch connection in near real time, so that only minimum buffering is required at the node switch.
