Mixture that are uniform in composition‚ properties‚ and appearance throughout are called homogeneous. Sugar water is a homogeneous mixture and rocks is a heterogeneous mixture. Homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures can be separated into their components by several physical methods. The methods that will use for the separation depend on differences in physical properties such as decantation‚ filtration‚ extraction and sublimation. The process of separating a liquid from a solid (sediment) by gently

LOGISTICS CYCLE Therefore the emphasis is on designing the logistics management information system and inventory management activities‚ rather than central-level activities such as quantification and procurement. However‚ as the logistics cycle demonstrates‚ all these functions are interrelated and so when the logistics system is designed‚ these other activities must be considered‚ such as ensuring that the data required for quantification are collected and that quality monitoring is incorporated

1. What are the main architectural components of a LAN? (Minimum word count: 60) The first characteristic in the LAN architecture is the physical arrangement of the network. This is how the nodes connect. The topology of an LAN is the design pattern of interconnections between the computers and network sectors. The second component is the method of access for the nodes. Specifically‚ how the nodes connect to the transmission medium. A network interface card is a device that permits computers

unconscious and mechanical. We are creatures of habit. This is why behavior and thought patterns are not easy to change. The unconscious component can be very deep and very old. We need to understand this‚ and then we can change the bad habits. According to Wilson‚ the first rule is do not rationalize‚ defend‚ justify or excuse your bad habits- no matter what. Second is put out and express and say to the universe or to the god that you are done with this habit and want this habit to go away. The Third

there are four main cycles in disaster preparedness‚ including prevention‚ protection‚ response and recovery. This is a major cycle that the Homeland Security Bill has worked in implementing antiterrorism routines. To achieve these objectives‚ HSA has prioritized three main areas. These include preventing any new attacks‚ reduce the vulnerability of the country to attacks‚ and minimize the damage in case of any attacks (Sharon‚ 2012). To achieve and adequately support the cycle from prevention to

The Nitrogen Cycle The Nitrogen cycle is the exchange of nitrogen gas in the earth’s atmosphere and living organism’s. Nitrogen is a necessity to all living organisms in their production of proteins‚ DNA‚ and RNA in their cells . However‚ only a few organisms can use this gas directly‚ due to the fact that it may limit the growth of plants. Nitrogen takes up about 78% of the earth’s atmosphere. The nitrogen cycle has three main chemical transformations‚ including nitrogen fixation‚ nitrification

Basic HDD Components Many types of HDDs are on the market‚ but nearly all share the same basic physical components. Some differences might exist in the implementation of these components (and in the quality of the materials used to make them)‚ but the operational characteristics of most drives are similar. The basic components of a typical HDD are as follows (see Figure 9.9): ■ Disk platters ■ Read/write heads ■ Head actuator mechanism ■ Spindle motor (inside platter hub) Chapter 9 ■ Logic

filter paper and funnel. The next day‚ after the solid had dried onto the filter paper‚ we scraped the solid off and into the beaker with a spatula. We then added sulfuric acid and zinc‚ respectively‚ into the beaker. We stirred the solution and our final step was getting rid of the liquid waste and observing the copper powder at the bottom of our beakers. We noticed that although we performed many different chemical reactions on the copper‚ it never changed elements. The copper cycle supports
