Poverty is general scarcity or dearth‚ or the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money.[1] Absolute poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs‚ which commonly includes food‚ water‚ sanitation‚ clothing‚ shelter‚ health care and education. Relative poverty is defined contextually as economic inequality in the location or society in which people live.[2][3]After the industrial revolution‚ mass production in factories made production goods increasingly

Soil is one of the main elements in the environment‚ it covers most of the dry part of the Earth’s crust‚ and the content of the materials‚ including salts‚ it is very important for the green vegetation cover on earth. On the other hand soil is one of the main components of construction‚ study of soil in the workplace is one of the first steps in the beginning of the project‚ and the lack of knowledge of soil characteristics and types and how to deal with it may lead to the failure of projects in

SOIL POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth’s rocky surface. The organic portion‚ which is derived from the decayed remains of plants and animals‚ is concentrated in the dark uppermost topsoil. The inorganic portion made up of rock fragments‚ was formed over thousands of years by physical and chemical weathering of bedrock. Productive soils are necessary for agriculture to supply the world with sufficient

Dr. Buchanan-Hamilton in 1807. Laterites are soil types rich in iron and aluminium‚ formed in hot and wet tropical areas. Nearly all laterites are rusty-red because of iron oxides. They develop by intensive and long-lasting weathering of the underlying parent rock. Tropical weathering (laterization) is a prolonged process of chemical weathering which produces a wide variety in the thickness‚ grade‚ chemistry and ore mineralogy of the resulting soils. The majority of the land areas with laterites

Home Soil is a story written by Irene Zabytko that takes place in Chicago during the Vietnam War. Bohdan‚ the narrator?s son‚ is the main character of the plot. His interaction with his father throughout the story proves that he is suppressing the pain that is within him. What led to this is the message that Zabytko intended for the reader; opportunities do not exist forever. Throughout the short story Bohdan displays regret‚ dwelling‚ and absolution as he realizes an opportunity has come and gone

In general‚ it deals with determining the suitability of the site for proposed construction. This consists of determining the profile of the soil deposits at and near the site. It mainly consists of taking the soil samples and checking the engineering properties of the soil and testing it in Situ. It then gets to

The results usually include saving in construction cost and reduction of implementation time. There are number of techniques available for improving the mechanical and engineering properties of the soil. However‚ each technique has some limitations and suit abilities to get maximum improvement in the soil conditions with minimum effort. Some of the

Bruckner‚ Montana State University‚ Bozeman) Electrical conductivity (EC) which is the ability of a material to transmit (conduct) an electrical current is commonly expressed in units of milliSiemens per meter (mS/m). Soil EC measurements may also be reported in units of deciSiemens per meter (dS/m)‚ which is equal to the reading in mS/m divided by 100. Therefore Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is a property of soil that
