Venom types. Among the major classes of toxin in venoms are: Venom is widely distributed taxonomically, being found in both invertebrates and vertebrates; in aquatic and terrestrial animals; and among both predators and prey. The major groups of venomous animals are described below. Venomous arthropods include spiders, which use fangs — part of their chelicerae — to inject venom; and centipedes, which use forcipules — modified legs — to deliver venom; along with scorpions and stinging insects, which inject venom with a sting. In insects such as bees and wasps, the stinger is a modified egg-laying device — the ovipositor. In
Spaghetti sort parallel computing device. There are then "n" rods to remove so, assuming each contact-and-removal operation takes constant time, the worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is O("n"). Spaghetti sort Spaghetti sort is a linear-time, analog algorithm for sorting a sequence of items, introduced by Alexander Dewdney in his "Scientific American" column. This algorithm sorts a sequence of items requiring O("n") stack space in a stable manner. It requires a parallel processor. For simplicity, assume we are sorting a list of natural numbers. The sorting method is illustrated using uncooked rods of spaghetti: Preparing the "n" rods of spaghetti takes linear
