The IP address 192.168.0.1, for instance, is encoded with the following bits
and bytes:
Arithmetic Logical Unit (ALU) After you enter data through the input
device it is stored in the primary storage unit. The actual processing of the
data and instruction are performed by Arithmetic Logical Unit. The major
operations performed by the ALU are addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, logic and comparison. Data is transferred to ALU from storage unit
when required. After processing the output is returned back to storage unit
for further processing or getting stored.
Control Unit (CU) The next component of computer is the Control Unit,
which acts like the supervisor seeing that things are done in proper fashion.
The control unit determines the sequence in which computer programs and
instructions are executed. Things like processing of programs stored in the
main memory, interpretation of the instructions and issuing of signals for
other units of the computer to execute them. It also acts as a switch board
operator when several users access the computer simultaneously. Thereby it
coordinates the activities of computer’s peripheral equipment as they
perform the input and output. Therefore it is the manager of all operations
mentioned in the previous section.
Hardware is a physical device something that you're able to touch and see.
For example, the computer monitor you're viewing this text on or the mouse
you're using to navigate is considered computer hardware.
Software is code and instructions that tell a computer and/or hardware how
to operate. This code can be viewed and executed using a computer or other
hardware device. However, without any hardware software would not exist.
An examples of software is Microsoft Windows, an operating system that
allows you to control your computer and other programs that run on it.
Soft water: The term used to describe types of water that contain few or no
calcium or magnesium ions. The term is usually relative to hard water, which
does contain significant amounts of such ions.
Electron Hole:
An electron hole is the conceptual and mathematical opposite of an electron,
useful in the study of physics and chemistry. The concept describes the lack
of an electron. It is different from the positron, which is the antimatter
duplicate of the electron.
Hormone- chemical released by cells that affect cells in other parts of the
body. Only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism.It
is also a chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to
another.
The hurricane originates over warm water and has a path width
of hundreds of miles. A hurricane is a "tropical cyclone formed over the North
Atlantic, E. North Pacific, and West South Pacific oceans in which the winds
attain speeds greater than 75 miles per hour.
The tornado, on the other hand, starts in temperate zones over land,
seldom has a width of more than 2 miles and travels much faster than a
hurricane. Tornadoes, are dark, funnel-shaped clouds containing violently
rotating air that develops below a heavy cumulo-nimbus** cloud mass and
extends toward the earth. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to
a mile; the rotating winds reach velocities of 200 to 300 miles per hour, and
the updraft at the center may reach 200 miles per hour.
The key difference is the source: x-rays are emitted by the electrons outside
the nucleus, and gamma rays are emitted by the excited nucleus itself.
Gamma rays are a lot more dangerous and hazardous to human health than
X-rays. Moreover gamma rays are the highly penetrating and highly energetic
ionizing radiation. On prolonged exposure to living beings they can cause
cancer. Since there wavelength is very small, they have an ability to
penetrate through any gap even if it is a sub-atomic gap. The most damaging
are the ones which fall in the window of 3 and 10 MeV.
