Host-based firewalls, such as Internet Connection Firewall (ICFâincluded with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003), protect an individual computer regardless of the network itâs connected to. You might need one or the otherâbut most businesses require a combination of both to meet their security requirements.
Monocotyledons (/ËmÉnÉËkÉtÉËliËdÉn, -ËkÉtËliË-/), commonly referred to as monocots, (Lilianae sensu Chase & Reveal) are flowering plants (angiosperms) whose seeds typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon.
Monoculture is the agricultural practice of producing or growing a single crop, plant, or livestock species, variety, or breed in a field or farming system at a time. Polyculture, where more than one crop is grown in the same space at the same time, is the alternative to monoculture. Monoculture is widely used in both industrial farming and organic farming and has allowed increased efficiency in planting and harvest. Continuous monoculture, or monocropping, where the same species is grown year after year, can lead to the quicker buildup of pests and diseases, and then rapid spread where a uniform crop is susceptible to a pathogen.
