As Internet nowadays has become a part of us, do you guys actually know the history of Internet? And are you keen to discover more about it? Aren't you curious to know who Internet was developed back during the old days? Here's how its happened. ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌ WHAT IS INTERNET? Internet is a network of networks, joining many government, university and private computers together and providing an infrastructure for the use of E-mail, bulletin boards, file archives, hypertext documents, databases and other computational resources The vast collection of computer networks which form and act as a single huge network for transport of data and messages across distances which can be anywhere from the same office to anywhere in the world The largest network of networks in the world Uses TCP/IP protocols and packet switching Runs on any communications substrate BRIEF HISTORY OF INTERNET Timeline of Internet's development The precursor to the Internet was ...
Hi there fellas! In today's post, I'm gonna share with you what we have learned in our last class with Dr. Linda about the Victorian Internet. I suppose none of us are familiar with Victorian Internet, so here's some information about it. Samuel Morse (and other inventors) developed the Victorian Intenet in the 1830s and 1840s. It is a telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication. It worked by relaying electric signals over a wire laid between stations. Samuel Morse, he developed a code that bear under his name, Morse code, that assigned a set of dots and dashed to each letter of the English alphabet. This allow for the simple transmission of complex message across telegraph lines, which indirectly help to the inventing of the telegraph. In 1844, Morse sent his first telegraph message, from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, Maryland; by 1866, a telegraph line had been laid across the Atlantic Ocean from the U.S. to Europe. Although the telegraph had f...
From previous lecture, we had learnt to use a search tool called Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). BLAST finds regions of similarity between biological sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance. In the previous lecture by Dr Azran, he taught us how to use BLAST for a protein gene. For example, we want to find the BRCA1 genes. We search the gene of BRCA1 for homo sapiens in National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Secondly, we make a comparison between the homo sapiens BRCA1 gene with other BRCA1 animal gene that is similar to human gene which are Pan troglodytes (chimpanzee), Rattus norvegicus (norway rat), Myotis lucifugus (little brown bat), Acinonyx jubatus (cheetah) and finally Dipodomys ordii (Ord's kangaroo rat). Thirdly, the nucleotide ...
