In a toroidal fusion power device, a plasma physics plasma is confined within a donut shaped cylinder. If the gas pressure of the plasma varies across the radius of the cylinder, an electrical current will naturally arise within the plasma. This bootstrap current , and is commonly found in the tokamak reactor design. The tokamak uses a combination of external magnets and a current driven in the plasma to create a stable confinement system. One goal of advanced tokamak designs is to maximize the bootstrap current, and thereby reduce or eliminate the need for an external current driver. This could dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of the device.

IPstack In computer networking , the Bootstrap Protocol , or BOOTP , is a network protocol used by a network client to obtain an IP address from a configuration server. The BOOTP protocol was originally defined in RFC 951. BOOTP is usually used during the booting bootstrap process when a computer is starting up. A BOOTP configuration server assigns an IP address to each client from a pool of addresses. BOOTP uses the User Datagram Protocol UDP as a transport on IPv4 networks only. Historically, BOOTP has also been used for Unix like diskless workstation s to obtain the network location of their boot image in addition to an IP address, and also by enterprises to roll out a pre configured client e.g., Microsoft Windows Windows installation to newly installed PCs. Originally requiring the use of a boot floppy disk to establish the initial network connection, manufacturers of network cards later embedded the protocol in the BIOS of the interface cards as well as system boards with on board network adapters, thus allowing direct network booting.

Bootstrap aggregating bagging is a Ensemble learning machine learning ensemble meta algorithm to improve machine learning of statistical classification and Regression analysis regression models in terms of stability and classification accuracy. It also reduces variance and helps to avoid overfitting . Although it is usually applied to Decision tree learning decision tree models, it can be used with any type of model. Bagging is a special case of the model averaging approach.

Operation Bootstrap Operaci n Manos a la Obra is the name given to the ambitious projects which industrialized Puerto Rico in the mid 20th century. History The island s traditional economy was based around Sugarcane sugarcane plantations . By the middle of the twentieth century it remained one of the poorest in the Caribbean, and in 1948 the United States government began Operation Bootstrap, which invested millions of dollars into the Puerto Rican economy. Envisioning that a densely populated island like Puerto Rico with now over 1000 persons per square mile could not subsist on an agrarian system , the government s Departamento de Fomento Department of Economic Development encouraged the establishment of factories. The US government in Puerto Rico enticed US companies by providing labor at costs below those on the mainland, access to US markets without import duties, and profits that could enter the country free from federal taxation. The Departamento de Fomento invited investment of external capital, importing the raw materials , and exporting the finished products to the United States. To entice participation, tax exemptions and differential rental rates were offered for industrial facilities. As a result, Puerto Rico s economy shifted labor from agriculture to manufacturing and tourism .

In physics , the term bootstrap model is used for a class of theories that use very general consistency criteria to determine the form of a quantum theory from some assumptions on the spectrum of particles. It is a form of S matrix theory . In the 1960s and 70s, the ever growing list of strong interaction strongly interacting particles &mdash meson s and baryon s &mdash made it clear to physicists that none of these particles are elementary. Geoffrey Chew and others went so far as to question the distinction between composite particle composite and elementary particle s, advocating a nuclear democracy in which the idea that some particles were more elementary than others was discarded. Instead, they sought to derive as much information as possible about the strong interaction from plausible assumptions about the S matrix , which describes what happens when particles of any sort collide, an approach advocated by Werner Heisenberg two decades earlier. The reason the program had any hope of success was because of Crossing physics crossing , the principle that the forces between particles are determined by particle exchange. Once the spectrum of particles is known, the force law is known, and this means that the spectrum is constrained to bound states which form through the action of these forces. The simplest way to solve the consistency condition is to postulate a few elementary particles of spin less than or equal to one, and construct the scattering perturbatively through field theory, but this method does not allow for composite particles of spin greater than 1 and without the then undiscovered phenomenon of Color confinement confinement , it is naively inconsistent with the observed ..., so that scattering and decays could be thought of as a perturbation. This allowed a bootstrap model .... Many in the bootstrap community believed that field theory, which was plagued by problems of definition ... consistent, each with their own S matrix.

The metaphor is based on a quote from Willard Van Orman Quine Quine s writings in Word and Object We are like sailors who on the open sea must reconstruct their ship but are never able to start afresh from the bottom. Where a beam is taken away a new one must at once be put there, and for this the rest of the ship is used as support. In this way, by using the old beams and driftwood the ship can be shaped entirely anew, but only by gradual reconstruction. Keith Stanovich Stanovich , in his book The Robot s Rebellion , uses this metaphor as an analogy to the recursion recursive nature of revising one s beliefs. ref Stanovich, Keith E. 2004 05 15 .

At a later time, the planks previously used for support may be tested by standing on other planks that are not rotten We can conduct certain tests assuming that certain memeplexes e.g., science, logic, rationality are foundational, but at a later time we might want to bring these latter memeplexes into question too.

Liquidity risk Wholesale funding providers are generally sensitive to changes in the credit risk profile of the institutions to which they provide these funds and to the interest rate environment. For instance, such providers closely track the institution s financial condition and may be likely to curtail such funding if other investment opportunities offer more attractive interest rates. As a result, an institution may experience liquidity problems due to lack of wholesale funding availability when needed. Academic research suggests that the use of wholesale funding was one of the major determinants of bank vulnerability during the 2007 2010 financial crisis . ref cite web url http ideas.repec.org a eee jfinin v20y2011i2p248 263.html title The dark side of bank wholesale funding publisher Research Papers in Economics accessdate 2012 05 02 ref See also Bank Interbank lending market References reflist External links http www.fdic.gov ...

Equity Funding Corporation of America was a Los Angeles based U.S. financial conglomerate company conglomerate that marketed a package of mutual funds and life insurance to private individuals in the 1960s and 70s. It collapsed in scandal in 1973 after ex employee Ronald Secrist and securities analyst Ray Dirks blew the whistle on massive accounting fraud , including a computer system dedicated exclusively to creating and maintaining fictitious insurance policies. Investigation found that from 1964 onward, as many as 100 company employees had engaged in organized deception of investors, auditors, reinsurance reinsurers and regulatory authorities. An important sidelight was the filing of insider trading charges against whistleblower Dirks. The ensuing case of Raymond L. Dirks v. Securities and Exchange Commission went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court where Dirks was finally acquitted. The case has been termed historic in helping to define insider trading, as well as the treatment of whistleblowers, analysts and the press.
