Monkey B Virus | Transmission and Symptoms - Prevention and Treatment - Research and Monitoring of Monkey B Virus

Monkey B Virus Monkey B virus,  also known as  Herpes B virus,  is a viral infection that can be transmitted from macaque monkeys to humans. The virus is a member of the herpesviridae family, which includes herpes simplex viruses (HSV) in humans. While monkey B virus infections in macaques usually do not cause symptoms, in humans, they can lead to severe and potentially fatal diseases. Transmission:  Monkey B virus is primarily transmitted to humans through direct contact with the bodily fluids or tissues of infected macaque monkeys, especially through bites, scratches, or mucosal exposure. Laboratory workers and researchers who handle macaque monkeys are at higher risk of exposure. Symptoms:  In humans, the infection can cause a rare but serious condition called  B virus encephalitis.  Symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and later neurological symptoms such as confusion, agitation, and paralysis. If left untreated, B virus enc...

DBMS–Data Independence | Logical Data | Physical Data Independence

DBMS–Data Independence Data independence can be explained using three-schema architecture. Data independence refers to being able to modify the schema at one level of the database system, without changing the schema at a higher level. There are two types of data independence: 1. Logical Data Independence Logical data independence refers to the attribute of being able to change the conceptual schema without changing the external schema. Logical data independence is used to separate the external level from the conceptual view. If we make any changes in the conceptual view of the data, then the user view of the data will not be affected. There is logical data independence at the user interface level.  2. Physical Data Independence Physical data independence can be defined as the ability to change the internal schema without changing the conceptual schema. If we make any changes in the storage size of the database system server, then the conceptual structure of the database will not be...

Data model Schema Instance | Skeleton structure of the database

Data model Schema and Instance The data which is stored in the database at a particular moment is called an instance of the database. The overall design of a database is called schema A database schema is the skeleton structure of the database. It represents the logical view of the entire database. A schema includes schema objects such as tables, foreign keys, primary keys, views, columns, data types, stored procedures, etc. A database schema can be represented using a visual diagram. This diagram shows the database objects and their relationship with each other. A database schema is designed by database designers so that the programmers whose software will interact with the database. The process of database creation is called data modeling. A schema diagram can display some aspects of a type of schema named record types, data types and constraints. Other aspects cannot be specified through a schema diagram. The given figures, for example, show neither the data type of each data item n...

Three schema Architecture | Internal Level | Conceptual Level | External Level

Three schema Architecture DBMS Three schema Architecture Internal Level  Conceptual Level  External Level  Three schema Architecture  Three schema architecture is also called ANSI / SPARC architecture or three-level architecture. This framework is used to describe the structure of a specific database system. The three schema architecture is also used to separate user applications and physical databases. There are three levels in the three schema architecture. It breaks the database into three different categories. The three-schema architecture is as follows: In the above diagram: It shows the DBMS architecture. Mapping is used to convert request and response between different database levels of the architecture. Mapping is not good for small DBMS as it takes more time. External / conceptual mapping, it is necessary to convert the link from the external level to the conceptual schema. Conceptual / internal mapping converts DBMS requests from conceptual to internal lev...

DBMS Architecture | 1-tier | 2-tier | 3-tier architecture

DBMS Architecture DBMS Architecture (database management system architecture)  Types of DBMS Architecture 1-tier architecture 2-tier architecture 3-tier architecture DBMS Architecture DBMS design depends on its architecture. Basic client/server architecture is used to deal with the large number of PCs, web servers, database servers and other components that are associated with the network. Client/Server Architecture consists of multiple PCs and a workstation which are connected via a network. The DBMS architecture depends on how the users are connected to the database to receive their requests. Types of DBMS Architecture Database Architecture can be viewed as single tier or multi-tier. But logically, there are two types of Database Architecture such as: 2-tier architecture and 3-tier architecture. 1-Tier Architecture In this architecture, the database is directly available to the user. This means that the user can access the DBMS directly. The changes made here will be done directl...

DBMS vs file system | Differentiate between DBMS and file system

DBMS vs file system Differentiate between DBMS and file system, difference table of Dbms vs File system, Dbms vs file system. DBMS DBMS is a collection of data. In DBMS, the user is not required to write the procedures. DBMS gives an abstract view of the data which hides the details. DBMS provides a crash recovery mechanism, i.e. protects the user from the failure of the DBMS system. DBMS provides a good protection mechanism. There are many types of sophisticated techniques to store and retrieve data in DBMS. The DBMS takes care of the concurrent access to the data by using some kind of locking. File system File system is a collection of data. In this system, the user has to write procedures to manage the database. The file system provides the representation of the data and the details of the storage of the data. There is no crash mechanism in the file system, that is, if the system crashes while entering some data, the contents of the file will be lost. It is very difficult to protect...
