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.

A feasibility study is essentially a process for determining the viability of a proposed initiative or service and providing a framework and direction for its development and delivery. It is a process for making sound decisions and setting direction.

Estimates are made to discover the cost, to the developer, of producing a software system. You take into account, hardware, software, travel, training, overheads and effort costs. There is not a simple relationship between the development cost and the price charged to the customer.

Software configuration management is an umbrella activity that is applied throughout the software process. Because change can occur at any time, SCM activities are developed to; 1. Identify change 2. Control change 3. Ensure that change is being properly implemented 4. Report change to others who may have an interest

Risk management is the systematic process of planning for, identifying, analyzing, responding to, and monitoring project risks. It involves processes, tools, and techniques that will help the project manager maximize the probability and results of positive events and minimize the probability and consequences of adverse events as indicated and appropriate within the context of risk to the overall project objectives of cost, time, scope and quality.

Machining is accomplished by cutting tools. Cutting tools undergo high force and temperature and temperature gradient.

In this lesson, we are going to lay the foundations for the entire course by defining key terms marriage and family and by exploring the origins of the family. Marriage and family are the building blocks of any society and as students of sociology; we know that family is the basic institution of society. The purpose of this lesson is to help you understand what marriage and family all are about.

Applications of the kinetic theory of gases are countless. Automobile engineers are concerned with the combustion of vaporized fuel (a gas) in the automobile engines. Food engineers are concerned with the production rate of the fermentation gas that causes bread to rise as it bakes. Beverage engineers are concerned with how gas can produce the head in a glass of beer or shoot a cork from a champagne bottle. Medical engineers and physiologists are concerned with calculating how long a scuba diver must pause during ascent to eliminate nitrogen gas from the bloodstream (to avoid the bends).

Let X and Y be discrete random variables, denoted by x a realizable value of X and by y a realizable value of Y. let the probability that X takes values x and Y takes values y be denoted by P( ) X = x,Y = y Then the function f ( ) ( ) x, y = P X = x,Y = y is said to be the joint probability function of X and Y if it satisfies the following two conditions

In this lecture, we are going to get an overview of computers, their component parts and how they work. We will also learn how computer components are connected as well as theprocedures of starting and shutting down a computer. Moreover, we will go over the subject of computer applications and why it is becoming increasingly important that you become computer literate. Some of these topics will be discussed in more detail in later lectures.

ANAPHASE. Each chromosome undergoes a longitudinal division of the centromere and give rise to two daughter chromosomes. The daughter chromosomes begins to migrate towards the opposite poles of the cell

The cardiovascular system (cardio- heart; vascular blood vessels) consists of three interrelated components: blood, the heart, and blood vessels. In the embryo, the heart begins to beat at 4 weeks of age, even before its nerve supply has been established The heart pumps blood through blood vessels to all body tissues. the heart beats about 100,000 times every day When sleeping, the heart pumps 30 times its own weight (5 L) each minute, which amounts to more than 14,000 liters of blood in a day and 10 million liters in a year

a continuous tube that extends from mouth to the anus through the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities The accessory digestive organs; teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas The length of the GI tract is about 5–7 metres in a living person 3 GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTE

Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets. Agriculture provides most of the world's food and fabrics.

As far as historians can ascertain, Paleolithic people saw no distinction between medicine, magic, and religion. Archeologists have uncovered skulls with holes drilled in them dating back as far as 8,000 B.C. Researchers have determined that, for some, bone healed near these holes indicating that the procedure may have been surgical and that the person survived. Many theories have been developed as a means to explain the purpose behind this surgery, called trephining.

Theory- is a system of ideas intended to explain something or a phenomenon. For example, Darwin’s theory of evolution. Theory is built upon one or more hypothesis and upon evidence. A theory contains reasoning and logical connections that lead to certain conclusions. Theories can change based on new evidence. Can you think of theories that your teachers used in different subjects during your secondary education? For instance, the plat tectonic theory which explains landmass motion to form continents; the newton’s theory of gravity; the cell theory of organisms etc.

The concept of symmetry and group theory are important in chemistry to study the structure of molecules. The measurement of crystal structures, infra– red spectra, ultra–violet spectra, dipole moments and optical activities, all these are properties which depend on molecular symmetry. The term symmetry is synonymous to beauty. The nature has made most of its creation symmetrical i.e., the sun planets animals and plants. symmetry is present in geometrical figures, crystalline solids and molecule. Entities which possess more element of symmetry are more symmetrical
