Characteristics of life

Science > Biology > General Biology > Introduction to Biology > Characteristics of life Biology is a branch of science which studies living beings that all plants and animals including humans. Biology examines the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of living things. It classifies and describes organisms, their functions, how species come into existence, and […]

Post date November 26, 2019
1 Comment on The Doctrine of Lis Pendens

The term ‘Lis’ means ‘litigation’ and ‘Pendens’ means ‘pending’. The concept of lis pendens is based on a Latin maxim “pendent lite nihil innovature” means “during the pendency of litigation, nothing new should be introduced.” Under this doctrine, the principle is during the pendency of any suit regarding the title of the property, any new interest […]

3 Comments on Alimentary Canal: Brief Idea

Science > Biology > Digestion and absorption in Human > Alimentary Canal: Brief Idea The digestive system in humans consists of an alimentary canal and associated digestive glands. The human alimentary canal (aliment: nourish) is a continuous muscular digestive tube about 8 to 10 m long that runs through the body. It is open at two ends […]

Concept of Strain Energy

Science > Physics > Elasticity > Concept of Strain Energy In this article, we shall study, work done in stretching wire and the concept of strain energy. Work done in Stretching a Wire: Consider a wire of length ‘L’ and area of cross-section ‘A’ be fixed at one end and stretched by suspending a load […]

Surface Tension

Science > Physics > Surface Tension > Surface Tension In this article, we shall study the concept of the surface tension, its characteristics and the factors affecting it. Intermolecular Forces: Between any two molecules, there exists a force of attraction. This force is called the intermolecular force. These intermolecular forces of attraction are of two […]
