Parasitic capacitance in electrical circuits can cause problems at higher frequencies. It can be addressed through circuit design, component placement, and using compensating electronic components. Shortening conductors and reducing surface area on PCBs can also help. In digital circuits, parasitic capacitance can increase rise and fall times, requiring higher currents and more DC consumption for […]
Over 1,000 types of parasites can infect humans, but only a few are detected by common laboratory tests. The most common parasitic worms are nematodes, pinworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Parasitic worm infections can be treated with herbs and good hygiene practices. Many different types of parasites can find their host in a human body. Some […]
Parasitic relationships involve one organism benefiting while the other is harmed. Parasites use their hosts for food, habitat, and reproduction. Parasitoids kill their hosts. Kleptoparasitism and brood parasitism are examples. Viruses are also considered parasites. Parasitology studies these relationships and helps treat parasitic infections in humans. Humans can also be parasitic hosts, infected through various […]
Parasitic computing uses other servers to provide computing power without breaching security. It can slow down legitimate computer activities and has ethical concerns. It is different from cluster computing and can be negative if infected with a virus or Trojan horse. Parasitic computing is a technique in which a computer or server connects to other […]
Parasites that live on or in a host and obtain their food from them can cause minor discomforts to serious illnesses. Protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites are the three types that affect people. Contaminated water and food are frequent sources of parasitic infections. Preventative measures such as drinking only treated water, washing hands, and using bug […]
