There are jumpers on the drives that differentiate the master from the slave. If the jumpers aren't set correctly, the BIOS will not recognize them.

In addition, some IDE ribbon cables are also labled Drive 0 (or Master) and Drive 1 (or Slave). If the jumpers are set correct, but the drives are plugged into the ribbon cable incorrectly, the computer will not recognize the drives.

Lidocaine is what is called an open sodium channel blocker. This means that it binds preferentially to sodium channels when they are in the open (letting sodium into the cell) state.


What does digital non reb mean?

digital non-reb refers to digital cable non-rebuild. It is just possibly a different order and listing of channels and of different channels. So you have non-rebuild and rebuild channel lineups. A lot of cable companies have already or will soon change their cable lineups. The change in channel lineup may have to do with a new way of adding more channel capasity. So it may be related to SDV (Switched Digital Cable) which allows the cable provider to make more channels available without having to broadcast the all down the coax cable....instead what happens is that when you tune to a channel the that channel gets transmited and the previous channe you were watching drops off from being broadcasted ....so the cable company saves bandwith. Now this happens on a larger scale so just because you change the channel it doesn't mean that perhaps your neighbor is also watching that channel so it is still broacasted for your neighbors sake.

Why Sodium and potassium ion can only cross in axon membrane through protein channel explain why?

At rest sodium in the outside and potassium on the inside as action potential propagate along the axon, depolirization happens and sodium channel opens and allow sodium ions to flood into the neurone. A wave of deporization spread along the neuron, the neuron membrane contain specialised protein called channels. the channel from pore.


How do you fix lg home theater system sound cuts in and out?

You will have to figure out where the problem is. If it is only when you watch movies, then the problem is with the DVD player or connecting cable. If it is only on one channel and happens all the time, I would suspect a speaker cable or speaker. If it happens on all channels on all inputs, there is a problem with the amplifier.


What happens when you bridge an amplifier?

It combines two channels into one channel making the output for the speakers/sub woofers more powerful. But it is only good to bridge an amplifier if you know the amp is good quality because if its not, it will mess up the amplifier soon.

What happens when you put on the TV?

If you mean, "What happens when you turn on the TV?" then here it what happens. The TV screen lights up and whatever channel you left it on when you last turned it off, it will still be on. People on the screen will start talking. Channel numbers for people who don't have cable are all decimals. For example, channel 7.1.
