The flowchart displays the process for calculating the volume and surface area of a cylinder. It starts by inputting the radius and height, then uses formulas to calculate the volume as 3.14*radius*radius*height and the surface area as 2*3.14*radius*radius + 2*3.14*radius*height, and ends by outputting the volume and surface area.

09 minimum-attractive-rate-of-return
There are four main sources of capital for firms: retained profits, borrowed money, mortgage bonds, and capital stock. A profitable firm generates money from operations equal to retained profits plus depreciation charges, even without making a profit. The minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) should be greater than a firm's cost of capital, which includes the interest rates on borrowed money. Based on an example where the after-tax cost of interest is 8.52%, the MARR in this case should be greater than 8.52%.

Key steps include determining the particle size distribution, plasticity characteristics (liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index), and using this data on classification charts to identify the appropriate soil type symbols. Soils are classified as sand, silt, clay or combinations based on their grain size and plasticity properties.
Vertical Drain
This document discusses vertical drains, which are used to accelerate consolidation in saturated clays. It describes how vertical drains work by shortening drainage paths within clay. Common installation methods involve creating boreholes and placing vertical drains made of sand or prefabricated materials like sandwick or band drains. Design considerations for vertical drains include drain spacing, fill height, soil permeability, and achieving a desired consolidation level within a given time. Mathematical equations are provided for analyzing consolidation based on Terzaghi's theory involving factors like coefficient of consolidation and excess pore water pressure.

Pre processing of raw rs data
Raw remote sensing images contain errors that must be corrected through pre-processing before analysis. Pre-processing involves radiometric, geometric, and atmospheric corrections. Radiometric corrections address distortions in pixel values from issues like noise, striping, or dropped scan lines. Geometric corrections rectify distortions caused by terrain, sensor geometry, and platform movement using ground control points. Atmospheric corrections reduce haze effects through techniques like dark object subtraction that assume minimum surface reflectance values. Pre-processing is essential for producing accurate, georeferenced images suitable for analysis and interpretation.

Chapter 5 present worth analysis -with examples
The document discusses various techniques for economic analysis of alternatives using present worth analysis:
1. Present worth analysis requires converting all cash flows to their present value using the minimum attractive rate of return. Costs are assigned a negative sign and revenues a positive sign.
2. For mutually exclusive alternatives, the alternative with the highest positive present worth is selected. For independent projects, all alternatives with a positive present worth are selected.
3. When alternatives have unequal lives, they must be compared over an equal period of time using either the least common multiple of lives or a specified study period.
4. Capitalized cost analysis is used to evaluate alternatives that have an extremely long useful life and is calculated as the annual

Disturbed soil sampling requires proper handling and storage of samples to accurately determine soil properties and structure. Samples must be clearly labelled during collection to avoid confusion later. Correct labelling and storage, such as in moisture-tight containers with wax coating, prevents changes to properties prior to testing. Proper filing of soil samples and data allows for better organization and control over the testing process.

Geological Site Investigation Methods
Site investigation involves determining the soil layers and properties beneath a proposed structure. It helps select the foundation type and depth, evaluate load capacity, estimate settlement, and identify potential issues. The exploration program uses methods like test pits, auger and wash borings, probing, and geophysics to obtain samples and measure properties. A site investigation includes planning borings and tests, executing fieldwork, and reporting the findings and recommendations.
Water cycle
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. It involves several processes such as precipitation, runoff, infiltration, subsurface flow, evaporation, condensation, and transpiration. These processes work together to circulate water in a cycle, driven by energy from the sun. Without the water cycle, which regulates the planet's temperature through evaporative cooling of the oceans, Earth might have a warmer climate.
Sulfur cycle
Sulfur is an abundant yellow solid element that cycles through the environment in rocks, soil, oceans, atmosphere and living things. The sulfur cycle involves weathering of rocks, uptake by plants and organisms, release through decomposition, emission from natural and human sources, and settling back into the earth or oceans. The sulfur cycle regulates sulfur levels and prevents acid rain, but human emissions have increased atmospheric sulfur and contributed to issues like acid rain and smog.

SocSci 2: four types of societies
This document provides a four-fold typology of human societies: bands, tribes, chiefdoms, and states. It summarizes the key attributes of each, including their membership size, settlement patterns, systems of government, economies, and social structures. Bands were the smallest and most egalitarian, while states were the largest and most complex with centralized control, economic specialization, class systems, and writing. The transitions from bands to tribes to chiefdoms to states involved increases in population size, food production, social stratification, and political hierarchy over time.
SocSci 2 Introduction to Civilization
Hammurabi, the king of Babylon, promulgated one of the first written legal codes in history. The code contained 282 laws and established legal precedents on family law, inheritance, debt, trade, and criminal offenses. By codifying the laws, Hammurabi aimed to ensure fairness and social order across Babylonian society. The code reflected Hammurabi's divine authority as king and established Babylon as a major political and cultural power in Mesopotamia during the 18th century BCE.
Chem: Matter powerpoint
This document provides an overview of chemistry and its many applications. It discusses how chemistry relates to (1) health and medicine through sanitation systems, surgery, vaccines and antibiotics; (2) energy and the environment through fossil fuels, solar energy and nuclear energy; and (3) materials and technology through polymers, ceramics, superconductors and computing. It also explores chemistry's role in food and agriculture, including genetically modified crops, pesticides and fertilizers.
SocSci 2: Hindu religion
The document summarizes key aspects of Hindu religion and the Vedic age in India between 1500-500 BCE. It describes how the semi-nomadic Aryans entered the Indus River Valley, bringing Indo-European languages. Their society had a caste system dividing people into nobles, commoners, and non-Aryan Dasas. Priests (Brahmins) gained power and influence, with the caste system restricting participation in religion and politics to the top three castes. This disenfranchised many, creating a need for social justice and spiritual fulfillment for all.
Calcium cycle
Calcium is an essential element for both human and plant life. It is the fifth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and dissolved in seawater. Calcium enters the biosphere through dust or decomposed organisms and is recycled through various processes. It moves between the biosphere, soil, plants, and animals through absorption, decomposition, mineralization, and is essential for bones, teeth, muscle function, and plant cell walls in humans and other organisms.
