Definition - What does Tensile Strength mean? Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling (tensile) force. It is customarily measured in units of force per cross-sectional area. This is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, mechanical engineering and structural engineering.
Microorganisms In A Compost Pile. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes account for most of the decomposition that takes place in a pile. They are considered chemical decomposers, because they change the chemistry of organic wastes.
1 Bacteria-Bacteria are small microorganisms. 2  They can cause diseases such as tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid fever, and tetanus. 3  Parasites-Parasites are organisms that live off their hosts. 4  Some parasitic diseases include malaria, sleeping sickness, and scabies.5  Fungi-Fungi are microorganisms such as yeasts and molds.
