The primary objective of this doctrine was to free the newly independent colonies of Latin America from European intervention and control, thus ensuring US national security. It stated that further efforts by European countries to colonize land or interfere with states in the Americas would be viewed as acts of aggression requiring U.S. intervention. This Doctrine was issued at a time when many Latin American countries were on the verge of becoming independent from the Spanish Empire. This Doctrine that is a policy of the United States introduced on December 2, 1823 is

GOOGLE began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University. These two theorized about a system that analyzed the relationships between websites, their relevance determined by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that linked back to the original site. A small search engine called RANKDEX was, since 1996, already exploring a similar strategy for site-scoring and page ranking.

An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when a celestial object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. The region of the Earth's shadow in a solar eclipse is divided into three parts - UMBRA, in which the moon completely covers the sun, ANTUMBRA, extending beyond the tip of the umbra, in which the moon is completely in front of the sun but too small to completely cover it and the third one in which the moon is only partially in front of the sun called as

This metal is important in photosynthetic oxygen evolution in chloroplasts in plants. It is responsible for the terminal photo-oxidation of water during the light reactions of photosynthesis.

Anomalistic year is the time taken for our Earth to complete one revolution with respect to its apsides. The orbit of the Earth is elliptical. The extreme points, called apsides, are the perihelion, where the Earth is closest to the Sun (January 3 in 2011), and the aphelion, where the Earth is farthest from the Sun (July 4 in 2011). The anomalistic year is usually defined as the time between two successive perihelion passages. Its average duration is approximately

In elastic materials such as metals used in springs, the elastic behaviour is caused by bond distortions. When force is applied, bond lengths deviate from the equilibrium and strain energy is stored electro-statically. Rubber, assumed to behave in the same way, in its relaxed state, consists of long, coiled-up polymer chains that are interlinked at a few points. At room temperature, rubber stores enough kinetic energy so that each section of chain oscillates chaotically and when stretched are no longer able to oscillate and their kinetic energy is given off as
