Description
Crop improvement can be defined as
i. An art, a science, and technology of improving the genetic makeup of plants in relation to their economic use for the mankind.
ii. The art and science of improving the heredity of plants for the benefit of mankind.
iii. Science of changing and improving the heredity of plants
2. Genetics
The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics, the science of genetics enables plant breeders to predict to varying extents the outcome of genetic manipulation of plants. The techniques and methods employed in breeding are determined based on the genetics of the trait of interest, regarding, for example, the number of genes coding for it and gene action. For example, the size of the segregating population to generate in order to have a chance of observing that unique plant with the desired combination of genes depends on the number of genes involved in the expression of the desired trait.

Liquefaction of Gases

Liquefaction of Gases – Critical Phenomenon
A gas can be liquefied by lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure. At lower temperature, the gas molecules lose kinetic energy. The slow moving molecules then aggregate due to intermolecular attractions between them and are converted into liquid. The increase of pressure - The gas molecules come closer by compression and coalesce to form the liquid.

Valence Bond theory (with hybridization)
Trending!
A view of chemical bonding in which bonds arise from the overlap of atomic orbitals on two atoms to give a bonding orbital of electrons localized between the bonded atoms. Basic Principle: A covalent bond forms when the orbitals of two atoms overlap and the overlap region, which is between the nuclei, is occupied by a pair of electrons.

Basic Electronics
A normal P-N junction diode is usually fabricated by adjusting the P-type and N-type semiconductors on a single semiconductor crystal. The characteristics of a junction diode demonstrate that it is designed largely for operating in the forward direction. Applying a large amount of forward bias causes greater forward current with a small value of forward voltage.

Fundamentals of Programming
Trending!
Programming is the art of writing computer instructions in a language that the computer can interpret and/or understand. In this topic, we shall look at some basic definitions and introduce some basic concepts in programming.
Definition 1. A computer is an electronic machine that accepts data as its input, process these data based on some instructions to produce information as it output. These instructions that guide a computer on how to process the data is what we refer to as a program.

CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING
Trending!
Client/Server is a term used to describe a computing
model for the development of computerized systems.
This model is based on the distribution of functions
between two types of independent and autonomous
processors: servers and clients. A client is any process
that requests specific services from server processes.

HIV-Human Immune Virus
This is a virus that causes AIDS and is passed from person to person through body fluids, particularly blood, semen and breast milk .After a person has been infected, the virus starts breaking down their immune system .After sometime the immune system is so weak that they become susceptive to a variety of illness

INTER-PROCESS COMMUNICATION OR PROCESS SYNCHRONIZATION
Trending!
Concurrent access to shared data may result in data
inconsistency. Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes. Suppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers.

PROCESS SCHEDULING:
Trending!
CPU is always busy in Multiprogramming. Because CPU switches from one job to another job. But in simple computers CPU sit idle until the I/O request granted. Scheduling is an important OS function. All resources are scheduled before use.(cpu, memory, devices…..) Process scheduling is an essential part of a Multiprogramming operating systems. Such operating systems allow more than one process to be loaded into the executable memory at a time and the loaded process shares the CPU using time multiplexing
