Soil and its types: What is the Soil? ‘Soil’ is the thin layer on the surface of the Earth on which the living beings survive. Soil is the layer which is composed with many substances; in this layer various plants have their roots. Soil is made of many substances like weathered rock particles‚ and decayed plant and animal matter. Soil is made of diverse materials like broken down rock particles and organic material. There are different types of soil and various ways to classify it. Classification:

A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface‚ whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath. Each soil type has at least one‚ usually three or four horizons. Horizons are defined in most cases by obvious physical features‚ chiefly colour and texture. These may be described both in absolute terms (particle size distribution for texture‚ for instance) and in terms relative to the surrounding material‚ i.e. ‘coarser’ or ‘sandier’ than the horizons above and below

LESSON 2: ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS An introductory topic on Management Information System Organizations are formal social units devoted to the attainment of specific goals. The success of any organizations is premise on the efficient use and management of resources which traditionally comprises human‚ financial‚ and material resources. Information is now recognized as a crucial resource of an organization. Examples of organizations are business firms‚ banks

Economists generally recognize four basic types of economic systems—traditional‚ command‚ market‚ and mixed. “Economics is the study of the use of scarce resources to satisfy unlimited human wants” (Lipsey‚ Courant‚ Purvis and Seiner 1993:5) In the traditional System the economy is based on tradition‚ customs and habits where the

Depending on the processing power and size of computers‚ they have been classified under various types. Let us look at the classification of computers. What are the Different Types of Computers? Based on the operational principle of computers‚ they are categorized as analog‚ digital and hybrid computers. Operational Principle Analog Digital Hybrid Analog Computers: These are

researched four types of organizational culture‚ which may be accepted by companies. The first type is “the power culture”‚ which means that the power is concentrated in one person and dominated by one person in the company (Greener‚ 2010). One person influences all decision-making. A type of organization with this cultural type is able to solve problems and provide solutions easily‚ however solutions depend on the central person for their success. The fact is that with this cultural type it is difficult

WHAT IS A SOFTWARE A set of instructions that cause a computer to perform one or more tasks. The set of instructions is often called a program or‚ if the set is particularly large and complex‚ a system. Computers cannot do any useful work without instructions from software; thus a combination of software and hardware (the computer) is necessary to do any computerized work. A program must tell the computer each of a set of minuscule tasks to perform‚ in a framework of logic‚ such that the computer

electric power system‚ a fault is any abnormal electric current. For example‚ a short circuit is a fault in which current bypasses the normal load. An open-circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by some failure. In three-phase systems‚ a fault may involve one or more phases and ground‚ or may occur only between phases. In a "ground fault" or "earth fault"‚ charge flows into the earth. The prospective short circuit current of a fault can be calculated for power systems. In power systems‚ protective

Types of computers Firstly‚ what is a computer? Well‚ a modern computer is typically an electronic or digital device that manipulates data. Computers can execute a pre-recorded list of instructions know as a “programme”. Large amounts of data can be stored on computers and be quickly accessed‚ edited and stored. When it comes to computers there are several different types: * High Performance System (HPS) * Workstations * Personal Computer * Laptop / Notebook * Palmtop These
