VIRUS IS NEITHER A LIFE NOR A NON-LIFE. MAY BE AN ENEMY.

     


      Virus is manometers sized particle.It is a RNA-genetic info. covered with protein and fat.  Structure of the corona virus has been found using powerful microscopes.  As you see, everywhere, it is a spherical shape with spikes.  Our sun's top layer is called corona sphere.  Light rays are seems to be coming out from corona sphere.  The virus' spikes looks like sun's corona-sphere.  Hence it is called corona virus.
     It enters our body through eyes,nose and mouth; goes to the throat and lungs.  The spikes of the virus easily attaches with the cells in the lungs; it injects its RNA into the cell, multiplies itself many many times and finally destroys the host cell.  That is how, it damages the lung organ.  But the body's defense system (immune system) immediately swings into action.  Mostly,  our body's immune system (white cells, B-cells, T-cells) wins the battle.  But some times , virus hijacks and confuses the defense mechanism.  It even turns our own defense against us.
     Sneezing, coughing, running nose- all are bodies' actions to jettison the virus.  We get fever so that the virus could be killed in high temperature.
     After the first level defense strategy.  The body's next level actions comes into play, like cell to cell battle. The stories read like world war stories with twists and turns.
     Bacteria is life which can be killed with antibodies.  But virus lies between life and non-life.  How to destroy it?  One way is to develop vaccine.  Vaccine is the weakened virus sent into the body and allow the body's immune system to develop anti-bodies for the virus. Another way is to develop medicines which will curb the growth and multiplication of virus.  HIV virus is similar to corona virus.  Vaccine is not found for it.  But one can take medicines life long and keep the HIV at bay. Many vaccine candidates for COVID-19 is already on the anvil. 
     Virus is a complete parasite, which cannot survive without the host cells.  Outside the living cell, it may live for a few minutes to a few days.  Washing hands with sanitizers-destroys the outer cover of virus-that is made up of proteins.

 How to stay safe and sane:
1. Washing hands a necessity
2. Face mask helps.
3. Social distance is the norm of the day.
5. Keep the body's vitals and parameters in normal range.
6. Keep your-self active and fit.
7. Prepare yourself for new - normal.
8. World is undergoing corrections.
9. Life will change for the better.
10. Develop positive attitude.
11. Humanity will overcome this crisis sooner than later.
12. Keep the environment clean.
13. Help the needy.
14, Engage yourself spiritually.
15. Internet is a boon. exploit it in proper ways
16. pursue your life's ambitions as much as possible.

     World has seen more worst disaster than this, like Spanish flu, plague, world wars.  Hence, we are going to emerge strong for sure.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
