What Is Meant By Facilitated Diffusion? Facilitated diffusion also referred to as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport can be described as passive movement of molecules across the cell membrane through a concentration gradient by means of a carrier molecule (membrane protein). This process is mediated by two distinct types of transport proteins-channel proteins and carrier … Read more
Permanent tissues are tissues formed when meristematic tissues lose their ability to divide and re-divide after some extent. They can be thin walled or thick walled and have permanent shape. Permanent tissues can either be simple or permanent complex tissues. The permanent tissue in plants mainly helps in providing support, protection as well as in … Read more
When it comes to making decisions within a program, developers often face the challenge of choosing the most appropriate conditional statement. Among the popular options are the ‘Switch Case’ and ‘Else-If Ladder’ constructs. These decision-making tools in programming play an important role in controlling the program flow based on certain conditions. However, learning when and … Read more

Description An alpha ray is another name for alpha radiation emitted in the type of radioactive decay referred to as alpha decay of a radioactive nucleus. The alpha ray consists of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. Like all kinds of radioactive decay, alpha decay occurs … Read more
What Is Linear Cryptanalysis? Linear cryptanalysis is a known plaintext attack, in which the attacker studies probabilistic linear relations known as linear approximations between parity bits of the plaintext, the Ciphertext and the secrete key. In this technique, the attacker obtains high probability approximations for the parity bit of the secrete key by analyzing the … Read more
What Is A GM Counter? A Geiger counter also referred to as Geiger-Muller tube is used for detecting and measuring all kinds of radiation including Alpha, Beta and Gamma. The device includes a counter, tube and power supply. The tube is usually cylindrical with wire across the center. The power supply and counter have voltage … Read more
In cryptography, confusion and diffusion are two properties of the operation of a secure cipher which were identified by Claude Elwood Shannon in his 1949 paper, Communication Theory Of Secrecy Systems. From that day till today, these two remains to be the guiding principles for the design of cryptographic algorithm. In simple terms, diffusion spreads … Read more
What Is PERT? PERT is an acronym for Program (project) Evaluation And Review Technique whereby planning, scheduling, organizing, coordinating and controlling are involved to make sure that the projects are done within due time. The emphasis of this technique is focused on start and completion of events rather than on activities. The activities taking place … Read more
China and Japan are very close to one another in terms of geography; and the race of both countries is very much similar. More importantly, throughout history, the two countries have a lot of bonds and commons. Both Chinese and Japanese are Asians and if you are really in need of understanding the difference between … Read more
