Understand the basic concepts and equations of radiometric dating, the difference between parent and daughter atoms, half-life, and decay constant. (n_e: number of planets, per star, with suitable environment for life)

  • Not all nuclides are stable, and some will split apart thru radioactive decay. Nuclide: species of an atom with a specific combination of protons and neutrons. Radiometric dating of Meteorites: Solar system is 4.53-4.58 billion yrs old; Carbonaceous chondrites provide a sample of

Asthma Definition— Asthma is a condition in which our airways become narrow, swell up and become more glandular (produce extra mucus).

Classification of Asthma—  Seasonal asthma—Some of the people not tolerate even the minute changes in the season (cold, hot, rain). Due to seasonal variation allergic reaction also occurs, and leads to complicated if not treated during the starting conditions.  Allergic asthma—Allergens (pollen, animal dander, dust etc.)  Occupational asthma—In

General Microbiology

  • Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic:

    • Prokaryotic: no nucleus (Bacteria, Archaea)

    • Eukaryotic: has nucleus (Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals)

  • Unicellular vs Multicellular: Bacteria and Protists = one cell; Fungi = one or many cells; Plants and Animals = many cells

  • How they eat:

    • Autotroph = makes its own food (like plants)

    • Heterotroph = eats other things (like animals)

    • Decomposer = breaks down dead stuff (like fungi)

  • Key Discoveries: Microscopes helped find microbes,

LEC 1 : A programming language is a set of vocabulary and grammatical rules used to instruct a computer to perform tasks. Learning about programming languages is essential because knowing just one or two languages is not enough for a computer scientist. Studying language concepts improves your ability to express ideas, choose the right language for different tasks, learn new languages more easily, understand implementations, and even design new languages. A language like Prolog is highlighted as...

PROCESS MANAGEMENT

- Fork: Each fork() creates a new process → 2^n processes after n forks
- Fork Output: for(i=0; i<3; i++) fork(); printf("hello\n"); prints "hello" 8 times (2^3)
- Child/Parent Sharing: Only code, static data, and disk content are shared; heap, stack, registers are copied
- Process vs Thread Switch: Process switching is more expensive due to: address space switch, TLB flush, cache pollution
- Multithreading Benefits: Even on single-core CPU, threads

- Land plants evolved from green algae (Charophytes). - The gametophyte is haploid and produces haploid gametes by mitosis. - Fusion of gametes gives rise to the diploid sporophyte, which produces haploid spores by meiosis. - Gymnosperms "the naked seed" plants includes the conifers. - Angiosperms "the flowering plants" contains seeds and ovaries and mature into fruits. - Bryophytes lack tissues specialized for support and conduction of water. - Vascular plants have 2 types of vascular tissue: xylem...
