WAN stands for Wide Area Network, LAN stands for Local Area Network and MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network. All the three technologies are mainly used for data communication. They cover a distance of between 100 to 1000 meters. Below is detailed overview that differentiates the three technologies from each other. Local Area Network (LAN) … Read more
There are three major releases of Angular. The first version that was released is Angular 1, which is also referred to as Angular JS. Angular 1 was followed by Angular 2, which came with a lot of improvements when compared to Angular 1. Angular 2 is an open source JavaScript framework to build web applications … Read more
In Quantum chemistry, valence bond (VB) theory and molecular orbital (MO) theory, are two basic theories that are used to explain chemical bonding or simply how atoms come together to form molecules. Valence Bond Theory, rooted in the early 20th century, paints a picture of chemical bonds as localized interactions between overlapping atomic orbitals. VBT … Read more
A sol is a colloidal solution suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall Effect. Tyndall Effect is the scattering of visible light by colloidal particles. Artificial sols may be prepared by dispersion or condensation. Dispersion techniques include grinding solids to colloidal dimensions by … Read more
The term short day plants describes plants that begin flowering when the days are shorter than their critical day length. For a short-day plant to bloom there must be less than 12 hours of daylight. Common Examples of short day plants include: Chrysanthemums, Poinsettias, Christmas cactus, Rice, Green Gram, Soybean, Marijuana, Jowar and Cotton among … Read more
Covalent Bonding A covalent bond, also referred to as molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is what is referred to as covalent bonding. There is a covalent bond … Read more
What Is A Colloid? A colloid is a homogenous non-crystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. A common method of classifying colloids is based on the phase of the dispersed substance and what phase it is dispersed in. Colloids include: gels, sols, aerosols and emulsions. … Read more
While both belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family, Salmonella and Shigella harbor distinctive characteristics that set them apart in terms of transmission, symptoms, and epidemiology. Characteristics of Salmonella Salmonella species are predominantly motile enterobacteria found in the digestive tracts of humans and animals especially reptiles. Food and water can also be contaminated with the bacteria if … Read more
Plant movements do exist. Plant use movements as an adaptation to escape or minimize injury from harmful external factors or move towards scarce resource or otherwise secure food. For example, the primary root moves downward where it can obtain water and mineral nutrients from deep down while the shoot moves upward to be exposed to … Read more
What Is Recursion? Recursion is a method of solving a problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. The approach can be applied to many types of problems. Recursion is used in variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The most common application of recursion is in mathematics … Read more
