Biological Control: This method is very effective. One pest is destroyed by another organism. For example the aphids are killed by lady beetle. The prickly pear is eradicted by cochineal insect. Here the advantage is, one does not use harmful chemicals which may get into the host plants.

1. Mutual exclusion (where at least one resource is non-sharable)

2. Hold and wait (where a process holds one resource and waits for other resource)

3. No preemption (where the resources can’t be preempted)

4. Circular wait (where p[i] is waiting for p[j] to release a resource. i= 1,2,…n

j=if (i!=n) then i+1

else 1 )

Charles Babbage, the father of computer, invented the first general-purpose computer in an effort to prevent the mathematical errors that were prevalent in the human-calculated mathematics of his time.

Each year, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), its members and the worldwide meteorological community around the world celebrate World Meteorological Day on 23rd March around a chosen theme. And this year the theme is "Understanding the cloud".

The Quality Factor is also defined, as Q. So it is a number, which reflects the lossness of a circuit. higher the Q, the lower are the losses.

the quality factor is measurement of efficiency (or effectiveness) of a device or circuitry. In literal sense quality factor means qualitative performance of a device.

Excessive use of nitrate including manure may be responsible forthe presence of toxic substance in groundwater. Phosphate can also enter the groundwater via excessive use of fertilizers. High application rates of nitrogen containing fertilizers combined with the high-water solubility of nitrate, leads to increased runoff into surface water as well as leaching into groundwater, thereby causing groundwater pollution.

Only a fraction of the nitrogen-based fertilizers, is converted to produce and other plant matter. Nitrate pollution in groundwater comes from pit latrines, it can cause blue baby syndrome.
