a) A transaction is a sequence of operations performed as a single logical unit of work, ensuring consistency, atomicity, isolation, and durability (ACID).b) Primary index is based on the primary key and is ordered; secondary index is created on non-primary key attributes and may not be ordered.c) Functional Dependency means attribute Y is functionally dependent on X if each value of X is associated with exactly one value of Y (X → Y)d) Concurrency control ensures that database transactions are
Here's a clear and structured comparison and explanation of PN junction diode and Zener diode, two fundamental semiconductor devices:
A PN junction diode is a semiconductor device formed by joining P-type and N-type materials. It allows current to flow only in one direction — from the anode (P-side) to the cathode (N-side).
Forward Bias: When P-side is connected to the positive terminal of a battery and N-side to the negative
Concept 1: Cell theory: fundamental unit; living organisms comprised of cells; from pre-existing cells; common ancestor. Common origin of life 4 bya. Causes of life: primordial soup (gases, water, energy); Miller-Urey - energy reactions created basic molecules; extra-terrestrial. Stromatolites: 3.5 bya. Water: hydrogen bonds = high specific heat, cohesion/surface tension; polar = hydrophilic polar molecules, hydrophobic nonpolar. Concept 2: Carbohydrates: glycosidic bonds, saccarides, starch,
...in a database management system (DBMS), allowing transactions to run concurrently has significant advantages, such as better system resource utilization and higher throughput. However, it is crucial that these transactions do not conflict with each other. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the database remains consistent and accurate. For instance, if two users try to book the last available seat on a flight at the same time, the system must ensure that only one booking succeeds. Concurrency control...

Re: When the world is ablaze, will we douse the flames or dare to speak There are moments in history when silence ceases to be neutral — it becomes an act of surrender. Today is such a moment. As injustice swells and the climate buckles under the weight of human greed, what future are we preserving if we teach the next generation to suffer in silence? Young people should not merely be permitted to protest
Sports psychology is the scientific study of how mental factors influence sports performance and how participation in sports and exercise impacts mental and emotional well-being. It plays a key role in understanding the behavior of athletes, improving performance, and ensuring mental health. The main aim of sports psychology is to enhance athletic performance by developing mental skills such as focus, motivation, confidence, stress control, and emotional regulation....

2. State and explain the Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. (3 marks)
Faraday’s First Law: Whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a coil, an EMF (electromotive force) is induced in it.
Faraday’s Second Law: The magnitude of induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
Mathematical Expression:
D/phi/dt .
Where:
• N = number of turns,
• Phi = magnetic flux,
• Negative sign indicates Lenz’s law (opposition to change).
