Electrochemical Corrosion: Cathodic and Anodic Reactions
Mechanism of Cathodic Reaction
Corrosion of metals in aqueous environment takes place by an electrochemical mechanism consisting of two simultaneous reactions:
anodic reaction and cathodic reaction.
The cathodic reaction occurs at the cathodic areas of the metal surface and involves consumption of electrons released by the anodic reaction.
Meaning of Cathodic Reaction
A cathodic reaction is a reduction reaction in which electrons are gained. It does not cause metal dissolution directly, but it is

WHO definition and initial care
WHO defined elimination as cleaning by scrubbing and washing with soap and hot water or detergent. Adequate apparatus (for example, d. ox.) must be used. To take care, devices should be carefully cleaned immediately after their use to avoid residues sticking; thorough cleaning improves subsequent disinfection.

Q1a: Sampling Strategy for the Proposed Study
Context: The study involves 10 lakh traders across diverse geographic locations and languages (English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu), indicating a highly heterogeneous population.
Strategy: Stratified Sampling
Justification: Stratified sampling divides the population into meaningful subgroups (strata) based on characteristics like language, location, or business size. This ensures every

Type Conversion in Python: Types and Examples
Answer:
Type conversion means converting one data type into another. There are two types:
Implicit Type Conversion
Python automatically converts smaller or compatible data types into larger or compatible types to prevent data loss.
x = 10 # int
y = 5.5 # float
z = x + y
print(z) # 15.5
print(type(z)) # <class 'float'>
Explicit Type Conversion
The user manually converts one data type to another using functions like int(), float(), str(),
Industrialization, Imperialism, World War I and the Russian Revolution
Unit 5 — Industrialization: Britain and Spain
British Industrialization Characteristics
- Abundance of coal.
- Significant population growth, which helped develop a domestic market.
- Urban growth and a massive rural exodus.
- The bourgeoisie played a very important role in society.
- A vast colonial empire.
- Advanced political system: the monarchy’s power was limited.
- Relatively flat terrain, facilitating an extensive transport network (canals and roads).
- Important development of the financial sector (banks) and

Week 1: Introduction and “Sinners”
Big Question: How did colonialism shape the idea of “Black religion”?
Religion functions as a political tool of empire, defining who is considered human, rational, or civilized.
Core Logic: Colonialism → Race → “Black Religion” → Fetishism/Primitivism → Dehumanization → Hoodoo as Repair → Sinners reclaims sacred meaning. (Johnson notes that Afro-Euro trade beginning in 1441 marks the origin of racialized religion.)

Computer Networks: Fundamentals and Resource Sharing
A computer network is a system of interconnected computers and other devices that communicate and share resources. Networks allow data and information to be exchanged efficiently among connected devices.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A Local Area Network (LAN) connects computers and devices within a limited geographic area, such as a home, office, or building. LANs offer high data transfer speeds (ranging from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps or higher), enabling fast

1. Transmission Media Pathways
Transmission media refers to the physical or wireless pathways through which data travels from one device to another in a network. It plays a crucial role in determining the speed, quality, and reliability of communication. Transmission media is broadly classified into two types:
- Guided Media: Includes physical cables like twisted pair, coaxial cable, and optical fiber, where signals travel through a fixed physical path. Optical fiber offers the highest bandwidth and
Spain’s Turning Point: Military, Political, and Social Upheaval of 1917
The Triple Crisis of 1917 in Spain
The serious difficulties facing the policy of the Restoration, combined with the problem of social unrest and military discontent, culminated in a general protest.
The Military Protest and the Juntas de Defensa
The Spanish army had an excessive number of officers. Tension was aggravated by the fact that promotions were made mostly by war merits. The strong discontent among lower and middle-ranking officers led to the formation of the Juntas de Defensa (Councils of
