Quantum mechanics is one of the major revolutions in 20th century Physics. It is probably the closest science has come to a fundamental description of the underlying nature of reality. And yet it is totally bizarre—it flies in the face of all our intuition and common sense. It sounds more like science fiction‚ or a poorly written fantasy‚ than notions which serious scientists would entertain. In this paper‚ we attempt to explain some of these fantastic notions for the layman. This paper comes with

1. Triple DES Triple DES was designed to replace the original Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm‚ which hackers eventually learned to defeat with relative ease. At one time‚ Triple DES was the recommended standard and the most widely used symmetric algorithm in the industry. Triple DES uses three individual keys with 56 bits each. The total key length adds up to 168 bits‚ but experts would argue that 112-bits in key strength is more like it. Despite slowly being phased out‚ Triple DES still

CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

Respiratory System: Study Guide The respiratory system provides for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide of the body. - In terrestrial vertebrae’s‚ the respiratory system includes 3 steps: 1. Breathing: Inspiration (inhaling oxygen) and Expiration (exhaling carbon dioxide) 2. External exchange- Gas exchange between the AIR and BLOOD in lungs. Blood then transfers oxygen to the tissue cells. 3. Internal exchange- Gas exchange between the BLOOD & TISSUE FLUID and between the CELLS & TISSUE FLUID

Respiratory disease Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms‚ and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura and pleural cavity‚ and the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting‚ such as the common cold‚ to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia‚ pulmonary embolism
