Lightning can be described as a massive discharge of electrical energy that can reach the speed of 130,000 mph and can exceed temperatures of 30,000 degrees Celsius. Although we know a lot about this phenomenon, it is still unclear how and why lightning forms. We will mention some of the theories on how lightning is created. History In June 1756, Benjamin Franklin attached a silk string to a kite and launched it during a thunderstorm. He then attached the string to a key and tied it to a post. As Read More

Dynamic polymorphism allows programmers to write code using functions applied to objects of the base class without worrying about how those functions will actually be defined by derived classes. For instance, programmers might call functions on a Shape object that computes its area or perimeter, without concerning themselves with the actual (derived) type of the object, whether it is a Rectangle, Square or Circle. An essential requirement to take advantage of polymorphism in C++ is that there should be a way by which it is possible to refer to objects Read More

A basal thermometer tracks temperature shifts in the body. Women mostly use it to chart their basal body temperature in order to predict their ovulation or fertile periods. Most basal thermometers come with blank basal body temperature charts and are digital in order to provide more accurate fertility predictions. How does a Basal Thermometer Work? A basal thermometer is accurate to the tenths place in Fahrenheit and reads temperatures in 30-60 seconds. Its sensitivity is important as this allows it to detect fluctuations in daily body temperatures. Digital types save Read More
