Graphene transistor to replace Silicon transistors

Graphene transistor was discovered in 2007 by Professor Andre Geim and his team of researchers at Manchester Centre for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology. A graphene transistor, also known as a single-electron transistor, is a nanotechnology transistor made of a material similar to graphite (allotrope of carbon) and with conductivity and electrical properties much simpler and more efficient than silicon. This single-electron transistor allows one

Ingress and Egress

Ingress and Egress are the network security features provided by network firewall.Ingress filtering, filters outside traffic from getting inside the network. Egress filtering, filters outgoing traffic before transmitting the data to another network.

CGI programming with C, basic level

Image
Common Gateway Interface(CGI) is one of the most popular way of creating dynamic websites. CGI is a server-side scripting language. It is an interface between The advantage of CGI is the applications can be written in any almost any language. A programmer familiar with C can create programs for CGI. It is common that Perl is usually used for CGI applications. Perl is simple and powerful language used for creating dynamic websites. It is not a strictly interpreted language. In this post I am going to share my little experience with CGI programs using C in Linux platform( with root privileges). Not going too deeply into CGI or C, how it works?... etc. Just a demonstration First of all you need a Apache server. Check is it available in your system and make sure that it is running. If it is available then just follow the steps below to start the server.

Armstrong numbers

Image
An Armstrong(after Michael F. Armstrong ) number, also known as Narcissistic number or pluperfect digital invariant(PPDI) OR plus perfect number , is a number that is sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits. For example: If the number is 371. How to find this number is an Armstrong number. First check the number of digit in this number. There are 3 digit, so take 3 as power. Now,  3 3 =27 7 3 =343 1 3 = 1 27+343+1=371 1634 is Armstrong or not?
