The word Bioinformatics is making quite a turnaround in today’s world of Science. The word seems to be made up of two parts which are related to two different fields, biology and computer science. About one or two decades ago, people saw biology and computer science as two entirely different fields. One would learn about living beings and their functions whereas the other would learn about computers and underlying theories.
A group of students are studying for an exam. The students can study only while eating pizza. Each student executes the following loop:

In linguistics (study of language and its structure), a stem is part of a word, that is common to all of its inflected variants.
Above words are inflected variants of CONNECT. Hence, CONNECT is a stem. To this stem we can add different suffixes to form different words.
In amortized analysis, we average the time needed to perform a sequence of data structure operations. By this method, we can show that the average cost of an operation is small, even if we have a single operation within the sequence which might be expensive. Amortized analysis guarantees the average performance of each operation in the worst case.
Have you ever imagined how it will be to have databases on different planets? How long will it take for queries to process and return results among databases on different planets? I was just wondering and thought to let my imagination carry on the rest. It is true that the only planet humans have set foot on, other than Earth is the Moon, which is Earth’s only permanent natural satellite. So as a start, I thought of setting up an imaginary data center on Moon to communicate with a data center on Earth and do a bit of math…
