Recognition is a product of fashion, not because of the visible characteristics, but because those who are able to sustain the rapid change of fashion set themselves apart from others by showing they “belong”

Costume; A style of clothes belonging to a particular cultural or historical concepts and is often used to refer to ethnic or historical clothing as well as those constructed for special rituals e.g. theatre, drama, etc.

Merchandising; The planning required to have the right merchandise at the right time, in the right place, in the right quantities and at the right price for specified target group(s) of consumers.

Throughout history man has always created, used and preserved textiles. Thus, textiles have been part of man’s life from time immemorial. This course explores textile conservation and issues related to conservation such as preserving, cleaning, repairing and laundering, which includes traditional and modern methods.

The Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is defined as a list of brief descriptions and estimated quantities. The quantities are defined as estimated because they are subject to a measurement and are not expected to be totally accurate due to the unknown factors which occur in design work.

Normative philosophy of sexuality inquires about the value of sexual activity and sexual pleasure and of the various forms they take. Thus the philosophy of sexuality is concerned with the perennial questions of sexual morality and constitutes a large branch of applied ethics.

Basic machine tools are the machines that are used for general purpose metal cutting operations within their range and these include engine lathe machine, drilling lathe machine, shapers lathe machine, milling machines, grinder lathe machine and power hacksaws lathe machine, Planer lathe machine, Sloter lathe machine etc.

Cutting tools- various types of single point cutting tools and their uses, single point cutting too geometry, tool signature and its effect, heat produced during cutting and its effect, cutting speed, feed and depth of cut and their effect.

A DBMS is a software that allows creation, definition and manipulation of database. Dbms is actualy a tool used to perform any kind of operation on data in database. Dbms also provides protection and security to database. It maintains data consistency in case of multiple users. Here are some examples of popular dbms, MySql, Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft Access and IBM DB2 etc.

Health promotion aims to help people to live healthy lives. It involves increasing people’s knowledge and awareness, enabling them to take action to improve their health, and ensuring that their circumstances allow them to make healthy choices.

Molecules at any given temperature do not all have the same speed but in fact, a distribution of speeds given by the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution. Two persons named James Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann came up with a theory to demonstrate how the speeds of the molecule are distributed for an ideal gas, which is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution theory

When a system changes from a given initial state to a given final state, both the work W and the heat Q depend on the nature of the process. Experimentally, however, we find that the quantity Q – W is the same for all processes. It depends only on the initial and final states, and does not depend at all on how the system gets from one state to the other. All other combinations of Q and W, including Q alone, W alone, Q + W, and Q - 2W, are path dependent; only the quantity Q – W is not.

One goal of physics is to understand why time has direction, and why one way processes are irreversible. Although this physics might seem disconnected from the practical issues of everyday life, it is in fact at the heart of any engine, such as a car engine, because it determines how well an engine can run.

A heat engine, or more simply, an engine, is a device that extracts energy from its environment in the form of heat and does useful work. At the heart of every engine is a working substance. In a steam engine, the working substance is water, in both its vapor and its liquid form. In an automobile engine, the working substance is a gasoline–air mixture. If an engine is to do work on a sustained basis, the working substance must operate in a cycle; that is, the working substance must pass through a closed series of thermodynamic processes, called strokes, returning again and again to each state in its cycle.

Gibbs free energy, also known as the Gibbs function, Gibbs energy, or free enthalpy, is a quantity that is used to measure the maximum amount of work done in a thermodynamic system when the temperature and pressure are kept constant. Gibbs free energy is denoted by the symbol ‘G’. Its value is usually expressed in Joules or Kilojoules.

Thermodynamic potentials are state functions that, together with the corresponding equations of state, describe the equilibrium behavior of a system as a function of so-called “natural variables”. The natural variables are a set of appropriate variables that allow to compute other state functions by partial differentiation of the thermodynamic potentials.

The generic phase diagram of a substance in the P-T coordinates is shown in figure 8.1a and b. Every point of this diagram is an equilibrium state. Different states of the system in equilibrium are called phases. The lines dividing different phases are called the coexistence curves. Along these curves, the phases coexist in equilibrium, and the system is macroscopically inhomogeneous. All three coexistence curves can meet at the triple point.

Projects are a group of activities that have to be performed with limited resources to yield specific objectives, in a specific time, and in a specific locality. Thus, a project is a temporary endeavor employed to create a unique product, service or results. Projects are an investment on which resources are used to create assets that will produce benefits over an expanded period of time.

Good project management deals with three factors: time, cost and performance. Projects are successful if they are completed on time, within budget, and to performance requirements. In order to bring the many components of a large project into control there is a large toolkit of techniques, methodologies, and tools.

Project planning defines the project activities and deliverables that will be performed and describes how the activities will be accomplished. The purpose of project planning is to define each major task, estimate the time and resources required and provided a framework management review and control.
