System (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek σύστημα systēma) is a set of interacting or interdependent entities forming an integrated whole.

The concept of an 'integrated whole' can also be stated in terms of a system embodying a set of relationships which are differentiated from relationships of the set to other elements, and from relationships between an element of the set and elements not a part of the relational regime.

The scientific research field which is engaged in the study of the general properties of systems include systems theory, cybernetics, dynamical systems and complex systems. They investigate the abstract properties of the matter and organization, searching concepts and principles which are independent of the specific domain, substance, type, or temporal scales of existence.

Most systems share common characteristics, including:

  • Systems have structure, defined by parts and their composition;
  • Systems have behavior, which involves inputs, processing and outputs of material, energy or information;
  • Systems have interconnectivity: the various parts of a system have functional as well as structural relationships between each other.
  • System(s) have by itself function(s) or group of functions

The term system may also refer to a set of rules that governs behavior or structure.

What is a good introduction to thrust systems?
Q. I am about to write a term paper on thrust systems. I have found a few articles about the topic, but most are incredibly focused on a particular system and are written for someone with a PhD. I am a junior in geology, I have limited experience with structural geology, and everything I"m finding is close to over my head. Does anyone know of a good Book/Article to introduce someone to thrust systems?

What do high and low pressure systems have to do with changes in the usual direction of wind?
Q. I was just curious about this - what do high pressure systems and low pressure systems (what I found out are also known as anticyclones and midlatitude cyclones) have to do with changes in the usual direction that wind travels from/in? Scientific and simple answers are both welcome.
Asked by cat123 - Mon Dec 29 15:36:34 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Simply put, winds tend to blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. These pressure areas change in strength as well as move, and the wind speeds and directions likewise change in response to those initial changes.

Why is it important to keep diary systems up to date in an admin role?
Q. Why should you try to balance the needs of all those involved when changes to the diary are made? Why is it important to communicate changes to those affected? Why are security and confidentiality issues important when operating a diary system? What are the types of security and confidentiality issuesrelevant to diary systems and how to manage them?
Asked by Becky R - Tue Sep 15 13:20:04 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1) You have to take everyone's needs into account when changes to the diary are made - different people need different information. Accounts dept needs customer payment details, the admin dept need current position of customer account or details of any changes to orders etc. 2) You have to communicate changes to others other wise they may not realise that a change has been made ie a change of delivery address is no use if it's only on the diary - it has to be given to the delivery dept too. 3) Security etc is vitally important in order to protect the customer and their personal details. It is important that you do not allow other parties to have access to personal details. 4) Data protection applies when dealing with customers. Also, you… [cont.]
