Cloud Computing, Web 2.0, and Inter-Process Communication
Cloud Computing Fundamentals
Cloud computing is a technology that allows users to store, manage, and process data over the internet instead of using local computers or physical servers.
Key Features of Cloud Computing
- Provides on-demand access to computing resources.
- Reduces the need for expensive hardware.
- Users pay only for what they use (pay-as-you-go).
- Data can be accessed from anywhere with internet connectivity.
Types of Cloud Services
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Virtual machines, storage.

Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry: Isomerism and Nomenclature
1.ISOMERISM:-
The organic compounds having the same molecular formula but having different structural formula or we can say having different physical and chemical properties are called Isomers and the phenomenon is known as Isomerism.
Classification of Isomerism:-
Isomerism are classified into two categories:-1.Structural 2.Isomerism Stereoisomerism (ISOMERISM)
-(Structural Isomerism)-Chain Isomerism, Position Isomerism, Functional Isomerism, Ring- Chain Isomerism,Metamerism, Tautomerism.(Stereoisomerism)

Management: Art, Science, Roles, and Skills
Management is both an art and a science. As a science, management involves applying theoretical frameworks, principles, and techniques to manage organizations. As an art, management requires creativity, intuition, and experience to make decisions and lead people.
Managerial Roles (Mintzberg’s Classification)
- Interpersonal Roles:
- Figurehead: Representing the organization.
- Leader: Motivating and directing employees.
- Liaison: Building and maintaining relationships.

Geological Structures and Rock Classifications
Folds: Bending of Rock Layers
Folds are wave-like undulations in rock strata. They are most common in sedimentary rocks.
Origin and Mechanism of Folds
Folds originate primarily due to Compressional Stress. When rocks are pushed together, they shorten and thicken.
Ductile Deformation: Folds form deep within the crust where high temperature and pressure allow rocks to bend without breaking.
Tectonic Forces: Major fold belts (like the Himalayas) originate from the collision of tectonic plates.
