Did humans and saber tooth tigers coexist?
Did humans and saber tooth tigers coexist? The sabre-toothed cat lived alongside early humans, and may have been a fearsome enemy, say scientists. “We can say that the humans – and the sabre-toothed cat – were living 300,000 years ago in the same area, in the same landscape,” he told BBC News. What hunted early […]
Is UART the same as RS232?
Is UART the same as RS232? UART is a communications protocol, whilst RS232 defines the physical signal levels. That is, while UART has everything to do with logic and programming, it has nothing to do with the electronics per se. Whilst RS232 refers to the electronics and hardware needed for serial communications. What is high […]
What are the risks of an ultrasound?
What are the risks of an ultrasound? There are no known risks. Ultrasound is a valuable tool, but it has limitations. Sound doesn’t travel well through air or bone, so ultrasound isn’t effective at imaging body parts that have gas in them or are hidden by bone, such as the lungs or head. Can ultrasound […]

What are the similarities and differences between conduction convection and radiation?
What are the similarities and differences between conduction convection and radiation? In conduction, heat transfer takes place between objects by direct contact. In convection, the heat transfer takes within the fluid. In radiation, heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves without involving particles. The heat transfer takes place due to the difference in temperature. Is cotton […]
