As we have previously mentioned, the computer itself is simply a collection of chips and circuit boards which are useless without software. Application software is what you do work with, i.e. your word processor or database etc, but the application software itself needs an operating system to run within. The operating system, however, needs something called a basic input/output system (BIOS) to operate. This is software but stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) on chips, and tells the computer what to do when it is first switched on.

Many person or institutions are still not aware of security on a server, not only rely on IDS and IPS applications and some firewall applications that we can easily find through internet networks. Special security handling is required on servers that are not related to third-party applications. The security design can be implemented through kernel configuration and tweaks that can be done by relying on the default application of an operating system. These applications are very common and can be found in almost all types of Linux server distributions. And there are still many people who do not maximize the security provided by the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) so that the operating system that has been installed and the data stored therein can be easily accessed by parties who are not responsible. Than as a preventive measure so that the data stored can not be accessed haphazardly by people who are not responsible, provided encryption and the sharing of system files that will be installed on the server. In the security steps for account access, the password that is created will be expired and the user cannot use the old password that he has used before

Nitrogen starvation induces developmental transitions in cyanobacteria. Whereas complex multicellular cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales can differentiate specialized cells that perform nitrogen fixation in the presence of oxygenic photosynthesis, non-diazotrophic unicellular strains, such as <i>Synechococcus elongatus</i> or <i>Synechocystis</i> PCC 6803, undergo a transition into a dormant non-growing state. Due to loss of pigments during this acclimation, the process is termed chlorosis. Cells maintain viability in this state for prolonged periods of time, until they encounter a useable nitrogen source, which triggers a highly coordinated awakening process, termed resuscitation. The minimal set of cellular activity that maintains the viability of cells during chlorosis and ensures efficient resuscitation represents the organism’s equivalent of the BIOS, the basic input/output system of a computer, that helps “booting” the operation system after switching on. This review summarizes the recent research in the resuscitation of cyanobacteria, representing a powerful model for the awakening of dormant bacteria.

The protection of Computer Hardware and Software using Cryptographic algorithms has assumed importance in the recent years. The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has put forward certain conditions to be met by the computer hardware, software and firmware so that the devices may be considered trusted. The Trusted Platform Module is a hardware device that will authenticate the code modules contained in the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of a computer to ensure that the Computer System starts in a trustworthy state. This device can also protect against Memory Management attacks including Buffer Overflows and Memory Pointer attacks.

<p>La utilización del render como simulador de realidad y transformador del imaginario arquitectónico es el asunto que pretendemos desarrollar en el contexto del cambio de paradigma gráfico de la representación arquitectónica actual. Jugamos con las palabras, la BIOS, Basic Input / Output System (Sistema Básico de entrada y salida), y conjugamos el acrónimo del nombre de un conocido sistema operativo (OS), que definimos en su versión tercera (3.0) existiendo dos versiones anteriores (1.0 y 2.0). La fonética DesBIOS acerca la palabra “desvío” que significa un cambio de vía, de ruta, que es lo producido. Ha existido un desplazamiento del uso del render, construyendo un encadenado de transformación, esto constituye las diferentes versiones que pasamos a explicar: DesBIOS 1.0. IMITACIÓN Operaciones digitales de render para producir simulación de materiales. DesBIOS 2.0. FABRICACIÓN Render desencadena producción de nuevos materiales de apariencia digital. DesBIOS 3.0. ESPACIALIDAD La utilización de elementos con apariencia digital, transforma la imagen espacial en aspecto digital. El sector profesional asume tales cambios, propiciando la creación de nuevos materiales por la industria de la construcción a través del diseño arquitectónico, avanzando así hacia la obtención de apariencias emuladoras de la representación digital en la configuración la construcción de los espacios.</p>

Perangkat lunak komputer merupakan sebuah program komputer yang menjembatani pengguna komputer dan perangkat keras yang digunakannya. Dengan kata lain perangkat lunak merupakan penerjemah antara manusia sebagai orang yang memberi instruksi dan komputer sebagai pihak yang menerima instruksi. Perangkat lunak memang tidak tampak secara fisik dan tidak berwujud benda namun bisa untuk dioperasikan. Perangkat lunak secara garis besar software atau perangkat lunak dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga bagian yaitu, perangkat lunak sistem operasi, perangkat lunak sistem aplikasi dan bahasa pemograman.Kata kunci : Perangkat Lunak KomputerAbstractComputer software is a computer program that bridges computer users and the hardware they use. In other words software is a translator between humans as the person who gives instructions and the computer as the party who receives instructions. The software does not appear physically and is not tangible but can be operated. Software outline software or software can be classified into three parts, namely, operating system software, application system software and programming languages.

Perangkat lunak (software) adalah istilah khusus untuk data yang diformat, dan disimpan secara digital. Perangkat lunak tersusun atas program yang menentukan apa yang harus dilakukan oleh komputer. Komputer harus melaksanakan instruksi yang terdapat dalam program untuk mendapatkan hasil yang berguna. Ada dua macam perangkat lunak yaitu sistem software dan application software. Sistem software berguna untuk mengatur file, me-load dan mengeksekusi program serta menerima perintah dari mouse atau keyboard. Sistem software biasa disebut dengan sistem operasi (operating system). Sedang application software adalah software yang digunakan untuk menyelesaikan suatu pekerjaan. Contoh application software adalah Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel.

Perangkat Lunak merupakan salah satu perangkat yang dibutuhkan dalam menjalankan komputer. Perangkat lunak adalah perangkat yang tidak dapat dilihat dan disentuh secara langsung, namun dapat dioperasikan oleh user atau penggunanya. Perangkat lunak komputer (software) merupakan sekumpulan data elektronik yang disimpan dan diatur oleh komputer, data elektronik yang disimpan oleh komputer itu dapat berupa program atau instruksi yang akan menjalankan suatu perintah. Perangkat lunak disebut juga sebagai penerjemah perintah-perintah yang dijalankan pengguna komputer untuk diteruskan atau diproses oleh perangkat keras. Melalui software atau perangkat lunak inilah suatu komputer dapat menjalankan suatu perintah. Secara garis besar software atau perangkat lunak dapat diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga bagian yaitu, perangkat lunak sistem operasi, perangkat lunak sistem aplikasi dan bahasa pemograman.Kata Kunci : Perangkat Lunak AbstractComputer software is one of the devices needed to run a computer. Software is a device that cannot be seen and touched directly, but can be done by the user or the user. Computer software (software) is a collection of electronic data collected and compiled by a computer, electronic data stored by a computer may consist of programs or directions that will execute an order. Software is also referred to as a translator of commands run by computer users to be forwarded or processed by the hardware. It is through this software or software that a computer can run a request. Broadly speaking, software or software can be divided into three parts, namely, operating system software, application system software and programming languages.Keywords: Computer software
