Description
In the 1990s, financial markets in the United States boomed. The Dow Jones Industrial
Index—a widely quoted index of the values of 30 large corporations (see Chapter 8 )—rose
from a level of 2,800 in January 1990 to more than 11,000 by the end of the decade; this
compares to a move from 100 at its inception in 1906 to 2,800 eighty-four years later.
In the early 2000s, as a result of an economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere,
this index fell back below 10,000. The index rose to over 14,000 in July 2007,
but (because of an increasing mortgage market credit crunch, particularly the subprime
mortgage market) fell back to below 13,000 within a month of hitting the all-time high. By
2008, problems in the subprime mortgage market escalated to a full blown financial crisis
and the worst recession in the United States since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones
Industrial Arerage (DJIA) fell to 6,547 in March 2009 before recovering, along with the
economy, to over 11,000 in April 2010.

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
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
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
