Amwoga Khalwale A new generation of cellular standards has appeared approximately every tenth year since 1G systems were introduced in 1979 and the early to mid-1980s. Each generation is characterized by new frequency bands, higher data rates and non-backward-compatible transmission technology. 1G (First Generation Technology) 1G refers to the first generation of wireless cellular technology. These are … Read more
Somatic Nervous System (SONS) The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. The somatic nervous consists of afferent nerves or sensory nerves and efferent nerves or motor nerves. Afferent nerves are responsible for relaying sensation from the body to the … Read more
What Is Register? A processor register also referred to as CPU register or simply register, is a small set of data holding places that are part of the computer processor. A register may hold an instruction, a storage address or any kind of data such as a bit sequence or individual characters. Some instructions specify … Read more
What Is SDMA? SDMA stands for Space-division multiple access, it is a channel access method based on creating parallel spatial pipes (focused signal beams) using advanced antenna technology next to higher capacity pipes through spatial multiplexing and or diversity, by which it is able to offer superior performance in radio multiple access communication systems (where … Read more
What Is Welding? Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool causing fusion. As opposed to brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal, welding is a high heat process which melts the … Read more
In an era characterized by rapid technological advancement, the way we interact with information has evolved dramatically. As we find ourselves surrounded by an array of digital devices, the traditional paradigms of information storage and dissemination have undergone a profound transformation. Two distinct forms of information representation have emerged as the cornerstones of this digital … Read more
What Is A Computer Program? A computer program is a collection of instructions that performs a specific task when executed by a computer. Most computer devices require programs to function properly. A computer program is usually written by a computer programmer in a programming language. Once it is written, the programmer uses a compiler to … Read more
What is an Endotoxin? Endotoxin also known as lipoglycans is a toxic heat-stable lipopolysaccharide substance present in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria that is released from the cell upon lysis. Endotoxins are not secreted but are released only when the cells are disrupted, they are less potent and less specific than the exotoxins and … Read more
Bacteria Bacteria are microscopic organisms that thrive in diverse environments; they can live in ocean, soil and human gut. Bacteria are living organisms with a simple cell structure that contains organelles, DNA and RNA that are immersed within the cytoplasm and surrounded by a cell wall. Most bacteria reproduce by a process known as binary … Read more
Mitosis, the more common form of cell division, plays a role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of somatic cells, ensuring growth, repair, and replacement of damaged or aging cells. On the other hand, meiosis is a specialized division essential for sexual reproduction, generating gametes with reduced chromosome numbers to facilitate genetic diversity. Let us … Read more
