    impulses that travel down a specific pathway through the heart. The sinoatrial node, also know as the heart’s pacemaker, is a small bundle of specialized cells located in the right atrium, where the impulse starts. This electrical activity spreads through the walls of the atria and causes contraction. This forces blood into the ventricles. Therefore, the SA node sets the rate and rhythm of your heartbeat. The atrioventricular node is a cluster of cells between the atria and ventricles and acts as a gate

    Lab: Standing Waves

    In this experiment, lab partners observed standing waves as presented by a sonometer. Students observed the relationships between frequency and length at a constant mass, frequency and tension at a constant length, and tension and linear density at a constant frequency. Our results were reasonable and indicated that the relationships for the first two parts were linear which means as the length decreases, frequency will increases at a constant tension and as tension increases, the squared frequency

    a timeline of all transaction blocks as discussed above. This chain itself is a ledger that records in real-time all events associated with the block and makes it publicly visible. A new block can be added to the chain only when one of the network nodes (participant) successfully solves a complex mathematical problem that often requires high computing power, and gains the right to add the next block. These complex, algorithm-rich computations can also be called as proof-of-work/stake computations

    consists of of a set of nodes linked by wi-fi hyperlinks. Trust-based redirecting has much attention as an efficient way to enhance protection of Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The Network is ad hoc because it does not depend on pre-existing facilities, such as wi-fi routers in wired networks. Routing in MANETs is a challenging process due to powerful topology and mistake vulnerable shared atmosphere. Data is sent between nodes in a MANET by browsing through advanced nodes, which must make choices

    recorded. A standing-wave with two loops (one node in the middle) was produced by adding the necessary amount of weights. The maximum amplitude was found by adjusting the weight on the mass hanger. The length of string and the tension (T) applied to it was measured from the vibrator to the center node. All results were recorded. Three loops were then created on the string with two nodes present. The length of the string from the vibrator to the node closes was measured. The length of the string

Boundaries of the mobile ad hoc nodes have been considered in order to design a secure Ad hoc routing protocol that thwarts selfish and flooding attacks. We took the base of Ad hoc On Demand Routing Protocol (AODV); the most popular Routing protocol. The significance of the proposed protocol

    Introduction The research is specifically carried out on Particle Sorting using the interplay between the Travelling Surface Acoustic Wave and the Stationary Surface Acoustic Wave. Sorting individual cells/particles of interest from a heterogeneous population has been of critical importance in biological studies and clinical applications, such as single cell sequencing, rare cell isolation, and drug screening. The introduction of “lab-on-a-chip” (i.e., small-sized analytical devices) has spurred

    body. The electrical impulse initiates in the Sinoatrial node (SA node), which is located in the posterior wall of the right atrium, near the superior vena cava. It is also known as being the physiologic pacemaker of the heart and has an intrinsic firing rate of 60-100 impulses/min. From the SA node, the electrical impulse flows directly to the Atrioventricular node (AV node) with the guidance of intercalated discs and gap junctions. The AV node is located in the back section of the interatrial septum

    Atrial fibrillation is a condition that the heart beat irregularly and often rapidly. Normally, a sinoatrial node (SA node) in the right atrium of the heart acts as the heart’s natural pacemaker and generates electrical signals to start the heart beating in an organized way. It allows atria to contract and squeeze regularly traveling the electrical signals through the atrioventricular node (AV node) which is situated in the centre of the heart between the atria and ventricles, the electrical signals then

    heart will freely flow from the atria to the ventricles as the AV valves kept open by the pressure in the atria ▪ The sinoatrial node (pacemaker) receives signals to fire when the ventricles are almost full (~70%) ▪ The contraction of the atria (atrial systole) causes blood to fill the ventricles to the maximum ▪ The signal from the SA node is transferred to the AV node and then via Purkinje fibres to cause the delayed contraction of the ventricles ▪ As the ventricles contract, the increase of pressure
