Description
Nanoparticles are defined by the worldwide federation of national standards bodies, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as nanoobjects with
all external dimensions in the nanoscale, where the lengths of the longest andshortest axes of nanoobjects do not differ significantly . Though nanoscale is basically ranged from 1 to 100 nm, nanoparticles can be categorized by three size ranges: larger than 500 nm, between 100 and 500 nm, and
between 1 and 100 nm (European Commission, 2010). With respect to the size and the size distribution, nanoparticles may exhibit size-related intensive properties. If they are small enough to confine their electrons, they produce quantum effects and exhibit unexpected properties, for example, gold nanoparticles appear red in solution (see, for instance, Eustis and El-Sayed, 2006), and melt at much lower temperatures than that in slab form (Buffat and Borel, 1976). The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles provides the significant changes in properties related to contact/surface area, such as catalytic (Astruc, 2008),surface-enhanced plasmon resonance (Melaine et al., 2015), etc.

COMS12O: SPEAKING SKILLS
Trending!
Speaking or oral communication can be defined as: An interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving and processing information (Brown, 1994; Burns & Joyce, 1997). Speaking means to converse, or expressing one's thoughts and feelings in spoken language. This could be an
informal remark, scholarly presentation or a formal address. Speaking skills are the skills
that give us the ability to communicate effectively. These skills allow the speaker, to convey his message in a passionate, thoughtful, and convincing manner. Speaking skills also help to assure that one won't be misunderstood by those who are listening. The form and meaning of speaking are dependent on the context in which it occurs, thus Oral communication cannot occur in a vacuum

VIBRATIONS AND WAVES
An object attached to a coil spring can exhibit oscillatory motion. Many kinds of oscillatory
motion are sinusoidal in time, or nearly so, and are referred to as simple harmonic motion. Real
systems generally have at least some friction, causing the motion to be damped. The automobile spring shown here has a
shock absorber (yellow) that purposefully dampens the oscillation to make for a smooth ride. When an external sinusoidal force is exerted on a system able to oscillate, resonance occurs if the driving force is at or near the natural frequency of oscillation.

TOPIC 1-2: INTRODUCTION TO ICT
Information is derived from processing the data i.e. its first meaningful resources and therefore when processed manually, mechanically or electronically, information is obtained. Such form of processing task takes the form of classification, sorting, calculating, summarizing etc.

This is the smallest element in computer file. The bit notation forms the basis of the computer working and as such it is impossible for the human beings to appreciate its use and that is why for the logical files, which are the view of the file user, the bits are not significant.

TOPIC 5-6: INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
A system is an organized, purposeful structure regarded as a whole and consisting of interrelated and interdependent elements. These elements continually influence one another (directly or indirectly) to maintain their activity and the existence of the system in order to achieve the goal of the system.

The Internet is a public network that allows access to a number of users globally with no time and location limitations. It’s commonly referred to as information superhighway because it is assumed that any information can be acquired from the Internet and can be added to the internet websites. It can also be defined as a wide area network (WAN) that enables organizations and individuals to communicate globally. Certain protocols like SMTP for e-mail, FTP for a file transfer and HTTP for accessing/transferring web pages are important when describing the internet.

Trending!
Ethics refer to the principles of right and wrong that individuals who act as free moral agents use to make choices that will guide their behavior. Although protecting personal privacy and intellectual property are on the spotlight, there are other pressing ethical issues brought about by the widespread use of information systems. This is because ICT can be used to commit crime or to threaten social values.
