Microprocessor I/O Ports: Memory-Mapped vs. I/O-Mapped
Ports of Entry/Exit are two techniques for I/O. Memory-mapped I/O and I/O-mapped I/O. Microprocessors that use memory space for I/O are said to use memory-mapped I/O. Microprocessors like the 6800, 6802, 6805, 6809, and 68000 use this technique. The 8086/8088 does not use this technique; its entire memory space can be used for system memory.
I/O-mapped systems have their own address space. This architecture is known as I/O-mapped I/O. An I/O operation can be defined as follows:
- INPUT: When the microprocessor
Foundational Sociological Theories: Saint-Simon & Marx
Saint-Simon’s Impact on Sociology
Henri de Saint-Simon (1760–1825), a French thinker, is considered one of the early founders of sociology. Though not a sociologist in the modern sense, his ideas laid important groundwork for the development of the discipline. His work focused on society, social change, industrial development, and the role of science in social progress. His major contributions include:
Founding Social Science & Positivism
Saint-Simon is considered among the first to view society

Understanding Urban Morphology
Urban morphology refers to the external features of a city, shaped by the physical conditions of its location. The most appropriate instrument for studying urban morphology is a city map, which allows us to distinguish old town areas, suburbs, and peri-urban areas. A map can interpret the city’s development over time.
Models of Urban Morphology
Various models of urban morphology can be distinguished:
Irregular Plan Morphology
This morphology generally characterizes old
Classical World Unveiled: Heroes, Epics, and Tragedies
Understanding Ancient Greek & Roman Heroes
A hero in ancient contexts was often a mortal who, upon death, left behind a strong, vivid spirit. Occasionally, figures like Heracles, Orpheus, Aeneas, and Romulus (Aeneas and Romulus were mortal men who became gods after their deaths) ascended to divinity. Heroes were figures of divine and aristocratic origin, allowing them to exist in the space between mortals and gods. They were also recognized for performing extraordinary accomplishments, especially

Politics and Constitutionalism in the Liberal State
The Constitutional State emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, founded on the principle of representative democracy. In this system, citizens express their will through elected representatives. Works on the history of political thought often focus on the discussion between direct and indirect democracy.

Harmful Noise: Sources, Evaluation, and Control
Background on Noise Pollution
Although some presbycusis may occur naturally with age, in many developed nations the cumulative impact of noise is sufficient to impair the hearing of a large fraction of the population over the course of a lifetime.
Elevated workplace or other noise can cause hearing impairment, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance, and sleep disturbance.
Changes in the immune system and birth defects have been attributed to noise

Plant Tissue Culture: Techniques and Applications
Plant tissue culture is the technique of growing plant cells, tissues, and organs in an artificial medium under aseptic conditions.
Applications of Plant Tissue Culture
(a) Clonal Multiplication (Micropropagation)
Tissue culture is a rapid and cost-effective method of multiplication. Many agricultural and horticultural plants are multiplied by this method, also known as micropropagation. Raising plants by this method offers the following advantages:
