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.

EPSC122: DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY
Trending!
Development refers to qualitative changes in behavioural characteristics of the individual leading towards maturity. Development can be inferred from the differentiation and emerging capabilities (functioning) of the individual e.g. cognitive, social, and moral, personality and motor abilities.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body
that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and
function in your body. If your endocrine system isn't healthy, you might have
problems developing during puberty, getting pregnant,
or managing stress. You also might gain weight easily,
have weak bones, or lack energy because too
much sugar stays in your blood instead of moving into
your cells where it's needed for energy

HPE 131: NETBALL
Trending!
In 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, James
Naismith, was ordered to invent an indoor game for high-spirited young men at the School for
Christian Workers (later the YMCA).
Most games tried ended with injury rates of staggering proportions! So Naismith conjured up a game whereby a ball had to be lobbed into a high peach basket (his reasoning being that if a ball had to dropped into the "goal", it couldn't be thrown at breakneck speed).

UCU110: FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION
Trending!
The major goal of any communicative action is to promote understanding. In the academic setting and in the professions, deeper understanding and insight are necessary. Collaboratingwith others in learning and at work ensures that quality ideas are shared for more effective task completion and problem solving. Therefore, the importance of communication and collaboration for learning and for assisting students prepare for their future careers cannot be overemphasized. These two competencies form part of the 4Cs (communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking) that have been singled out as the core attributes for success in the 21st century.

EPS110: PSYCHOLOGY.
Trending!
Psychological research uses scientific methods to provide enlightening and reliable information about behavior. Science is derived from the Latin word “scire” i.e. to know. Science avoids mere opinions, intuitions and guesses and strives to know by using objective evidence. Science uses logic to reason about the possible causes of a phenomenon and then tests the resulting ideas psychology relies on empirical evidence i.e. information gained from direct observation.The information is collected systematically through carefully designed experiments; various assumptions can be validated or refuted
