Non-ohmic Devices00:51

Non-ohmic Devices

1.5K
In most substances, the current flow is proportional to the voltage applied to it. A simple relationship between the values of current, voltage, and resistance is known as Ohm's law. Nonohmic devices do not exhibit a linear relationship between voltage and current. One such device is the semiconducting circuit element known as a diode. A diode is a circuit device that allows current flow in only one direction.
Consider a simple circuit consisting of a battery, a diode, and a resistor. A...

Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

436
Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.7K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Lewis Acids and Bases02:33

Lewis Acids and Bases

48.4K
In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Weak Base Solutions03:21

Weak Base Solutions

25.3K
Some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other...

Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.4K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Digital Media Studies

Background:

  • The concept of internet addiction emerged in the 1990s, gaining recognition as a public health concern.
  • The term 'internet addiction' faces criticism for its heterogeneity and failure to encompass sub-threshold problematic online behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a revised terminology for problematic internet behaviors.
  • To advocate for a shift from 'internet addiction' to 'problematic use' for clearer clinical and research applications.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of existing terminology.
  • Literature review on problematic internet use and digital media evolution.

Main Results:

  • The term 'problematic use' is suggested as a more accurate descriptor than 'internet addiction'.
  • The study highlights the need for future terminology shifts towards 'screen-based devices' or 'screens' due to technological advancements.

Conclusions:

  • Adopting 'problematic use' enhances conceptual clarity and clinical relevance.
  • Future research and clinical practice should consider evolving terminology to reflect the increasing integration of screens in daily life and the application-specific nature of problematic behaviors.
