Metamorphic rocks are the transformation of the existing rocks‚ the protolith through the process of metamorphism. The Protoliths can be the igneous rock‚ sedimentary rock or any old metamorphic rock. Due to severe heat and pressure‚ the protolithis get various chemical or physical changes. These rocks create a huge part of the Earth’s crust and these can be classified by the mineral and chemical assemblage and by the textures. Examples of the metamorphic rocks are: slate‚ gneiss‚ schist‚ marble

Hard Water How can water be hard? Well‚ it can‚ but maybe not in the sense that one would think. Hard water refers to water with dissolved calcium and magnesium ions in it.

Abstract Forecasting hotel arrivals and occupancy is an important component in hotel revenue management systems. In this paper we propose time series approach for the arrivals and occupancy forecasting problem. In this approach we simulate the hotel reservations process forward in time. A key step for the faithful emulation of the reservations process is the accurate estimation of its parameters. We propose an approach for the estimation of these parameters from the historical data. We considered

Rocks are classified in order to communicate information about them. All classifications of limestones are arbitrary and they frequently overlap or do not fit ones particular needs. Since binocular microscopes or hand lenses are the tools that are commonly available to the explorationist‚ a practical classification should be based on descriptions using them. When these instruments are used‚ it is usually possible to identify the individual grains forming the rock. Thus most classifications require
