Section 1: Foundation of the Study

The majority of business information is stored electronically, creating the need for a system of securing this information. As the systems providing computer and internet security becomes more and more complex, security is increasingly compromised. Interlopers and hackers continue to create new and more creative means of gaining entry to information stored on networks, and users are facing an increased number of security attacks. Surprisingly, despite the variety and amount of security risks, security tools designed to counter these are slow to develop appear for business consumption (Garcia-Teodoro et al, 2009).

DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction
Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...
