Fundamental Computer Concepts
Mobile Computing
It is a form of human-computer interaction where the computer is expected to be transported during normal usage. It is a generic term describing the ability to use technology that is not physically connected or is in remote or mobile environments.
Mobile computing works based on three types: Mobile Communication, Mobile Hardware, and Mobile Software.
Computer Architecture
It refers to the definition of the basic attributes of hardware components and their interconnection in order to

Forensic Pathology: Wound and Hanging Analysis
Forensic Analysis of Wounds
The characteristics of wounds, including their edges, can provide crucial information about the instrument used. In cases of multiple injuries, the likelihood of determining the instrument’s shape increases.
Weapon Length Determination
The length of the weapon is primarily determined by the depth of the wound. In rare cases, the wound’s depth may exceed the weapon’s actual length.
Identifying Multiple Weapons
When a victim sustains several wounds, their size and shape can

Cardiac Muscle Physiology: Action Potentials
The resting membrane potential of normal myocardium is -85 to -95 millivolts. The action potential recorded in ventricular muscle is 105 millivolts. This means the membrane potential rises from its normal, very negative value to a positive value of +20 millivolts.
Cardiac vs. Skeletal Muscle Action Potential
There are at least two important differences between the membrane properties of cardiac and skeletal muscle that explain the prolonged action potential

The War of Movement (August-November 1914)
When the war began in August 1914, Germany and Austria-Hungary (the Central Powers) enjoyed significant advantages: powerful armies and easy communication. However, the necessity of fighting a two-front war required a quick victory. The German plan called for a swift strike against France, aiming for its capitulation within six weeks, allowing the Central Powers to then focus all their efforts on the Russian front. Initially, these predictions seemed to

Understanding Character Strings
A character string, word, or phrase (often simply called a string) is an ordered sequence of elements of arbitrary, though finite, length, belonging to a certain alphabet. Generally, a character string is a sequence of letters, numbers, or other symbols. In usual mathematics, the letters w, x, y, z are often used to refer to strings. From a programming standpoint, a string can consist of any finite combination of characters from the available character set.
