Flow Of Information Exposed To The Virus

AIDS is a life and death issue. To have the AIDS
disease is at present a sentence of slow but
inevitable death. I've already lost one friend to
AIDS. I may soon lose others. My own sexual
behavior and that of many of my friends has been
profoundly altered by it. In my part of the
country, one man in 10 may already be carrying the
AIDS virus. While the figures may currently be
less in much of the rest of the country, this is
changing rapidly. There currently is neither a
cure, nor even an effecti...

Signal An Error Number Of 1 Bits Bit
247 words
December 1996 Parity/Non-parity Parity check Early
transmission codes had a serious problem in that a
bit could be lost or gained in transmission
because of an electrical or mechanical failure/ If
the loss went undetected, the character received
on the other end of the lime was incorrect. To
Prevent this from happening, a parity check system
was developed. Each character is represented by a
byte consisting of a combination of intelligence
bits (seven bits in ASCII and eight bits in
EBCDIC) and a...

Many of the products we buy today are no more than
large collections of zeroes and ones. High-priced
software, high-quality music, and valuable
reference material such as computerized databases
or CD-Rom encyclopedias are commercial products
like any other, but the media of their
transmission makes them different in at least one
aspect: it is possible to copy them freely, or at
least extremely cheaply. A compact disc of Elvis

Miles Per Hour Seat Belts
2,158 words
The making of automobiles started in the year
1770. In 1770 a man named Nicholas Joseph Cung not
from France built a large steam-driven vehicle.
The vehicle didn? t last long because the vehicle
could only be driven for 12 to 15 minutes before
running out of steam and the vehicle was too heavy
and had poor balance and made it difficult to
steer. Nothing more had been done until in the
1784. In 1784 James Watt made a patent on a steam
carriage, but nothing became of it. Then in 1785
John Fitch in...

Generation To Generation Gregor Mendel

What is Genetics? Genetics is usually defined as
the transmission of traits from one generation to
the next. Although correct in its meaning, the
definition is rather vague. Genetics not only
involves the transmission of traits from
generation to generation, but it also involves
every biological occurrence in an organism. The
history of genetics, beginning with the ideas of
Aristotle up till the rediscovery of Mendel's
work, has gone through many changes both in theory
and discovery. The history...

what a modem is and how a modem works. The
evolution of a modem, transfer of speeds through
various sized modems, and how data transferred has
also been discussed. The word modem is an acronym
