Description

Nanoscience is the emerging science of objects that are intermediate in size between the largest molecules and the smallest structures that can be fabricated by current photolithography; that is, the science of objects with smallest dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to less than 100 nanometers.[1–3] In chemistry, this range of sizes has historically been associated with colloids, micelles, polymer molecules, phase-separated regions in block copolymers, and similar structures—typically, very large molecules, or aggregates of many molecules. More recently, structures such as buckytubes, silicon nanorods, and compound semi conductor quantum dots have emerged as particularly interesting classes of nanostructures. In physics and electrical engineering, nanoscience is most often associated with quantum behavior, and the behavior of electrons and photons in nanoscale structures. Biology and biochemistry also have a deep interest in nanostructures as components of the cell; many of the most interesting structures in biology—from DNA and viruses to subcellular organelles and gap junctions—can be considered as nanostructures.

Electromagnetism Laws and Equations Trending!
A uniform field is one in which the electric field is the same at every point. It is most commonly encountered between two parallel, conducting plates, ignoring edge effects.

ESM 323: PHYSICS EDUCATION Trending!
A scientist operates through a series of steps that have been known to contribute to the solution of the problem at hand. These steps are called the scientific method. They are what distinguish science from any other quest of knowledge.

DEM 100: HIV AND AIDS PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT Trending!
HIV and AIDS is acknowledged as a global health crisis, for health workers, policy makers, and ordinary citizens in Africa and parts of Asia. Managing and coping with the reality and burden of HIV and AIDS is a never ending struggle. It has become part of everyday conversation in homes, working places, and social gatherings; it has also crept into lectures class notes and hence propelled itself to the top of the social economic and political agendas.

PHY 205: Electromagnetism Lecture Notes Trending!
When charges move relative to each other,they experience a new force in addition to the electrstatic one.This new force is the magnetic force and can be shown to be a consequence of special relativity.

AGRO 452: SEED PRODUCTION AND CERTIFICATIONS. Trending!
Seed industry has played a vital role in the availability of high quality seed of improved crop varieties with attendant modern power equipment, improved fertilizers, and better methods of insect and weed control. These altogether have revolutionized farming 1.1 Evolution of seed The evolution of plants has resulted in increasing levels of complexity, from the earliest algal mats, through bryophytes, lycopods, ferns to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms of today. While the groups which appeared earlier continue to thrive, especially in the environments in which they evolved, each new grade of organisation has eventually become more "successful" than its predecessors by most measures. 1. Evidence suggests that an algal scum formed on the land 1,200 million years ago 2. To thrive and to avoid extinction, plants have made mechanisms and evolved seed plant during 200 million years ago 3. The latest major group of plants to evolve was the grasses, 40 million years ago 4. The grasses, as well as many other groups, evolved new mechanisms of metabolism to survive the low CO2 and warm, dry conditions of the tropics over the last 10 million years.

PHT 112: HIV AIDS Determinants, Prevention and Management
Human behavior plays a key role in most of the disease condition in life. a) Socialization; is a life long process through which individuals in a society develop an awareness of social norms and values; achieve destine of self. b) Norms: Rules and expectations conduct which either prescribes a given type of behavior, or forbid it. c) Values: Culturally defined standards held by human individuals or groups about what are desirable, proper, beautiful, and good or bad that save as broad guidelines for social life. d) The individualistic interpretation of disease places emphasis on the individual as responsible for his or health status. Health compromising behavior by individual is the main factor in health.

ALT 102: INTRODUCTION TO EAST AFRICAN ORAL LITERATURE Trending!
This unit is an introductory course whose main aim is to broaden your understanding and perspective of oral literature through studying the oral literature of your community and that of other East African communities. I am aware that, by now, most of you are exposed to some oral literature both through formal education and also through contact with the material as is practiced and performed within your own communities. However, I am also aware that due to various influences, students are not able to fully appreciate the multidimensionality of the oral literature discipline and more so its significance in literary studies. This course is thus designed so that your understanding of the subject becomes broadened and that you are able to appreciate: (a), the place of oral literature within the wider literary studies and African literature in particular. Oral literature needs to be recognised as a unique form of literary expression, exhibiting imaginative and creative dimensions that enrich the study of African literature; (b) the place of oral literature within the rich heritage of the African Oral traditions; (c) the place of oral literature in the rediscovery of African cultural heritage eclipsed by unfavorable historical circumstances and (d) the place of oral literature within the Contemporary written African literary tradition
