Resistance in a Conductor: The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that conductor. Electrical resistance shares some conceptual parallels with the mechanical notion of friction. The SI unit of electrical resistance is the ohm (Ω).An object of uniform cross section has a resistance proportional to its resistivity and length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. All materials show some resistance‚ except

Killer at large: Antibiotic Resistance Remember that teacher who would make students use antibacterials on the way in and out of the classroom? Scientist and medical professionals have now realized that all antibacterials‚ antibiotics and antimicrobials are contributing to a large complication that may make it so no bacteriums can be killed.

Civil resistance is political action that relies on the use of nonviolent resistance by civil groups to challenge a particular power‚ force‚ policy or regime. Civil resistance operates through appeals to the adversary‚ pressure and coercion: it can involve systematic attempts to undermine the adversary’s sources of power‚ both domestic and international. Forms of action have included demonstrations‚ vigils and petitions; strikes‚ go-slows‚ boycotts and emigration movements; and sit-ins‚ occupations
