Project Management Principles and Agile Methodology

Week 1: Evolution of Project Management

Historical projects have been around for a long time. Notable examples include:

  • Tower of Babel
  • Egyptian pyramids
  • Great Wall of China
  • The Manhattan Project

Modern project management development is largely credited to the military, specifically:

  • The Navy’s Polaris program
  • NASA’s Apollo space program
  • Development of “smart bombs” and missiles

Project management is now widely accepted across various industries beyond construction or the military, including:

  • Managing legal

Essential Principles of Cell Biology and Biochemistry

Biological Molecules: Lipids and Their Functions

Lipids are organic molecules that are insoluble in water, with an oily, waxy, or fatty consistency. Their functions are to store energy, to participate in muscle contraction, to act as insulators, and to make up part of the cell membranes. There are three kinds of lipids:

  • Fatty acids and waxes: These are only made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
  • Phospholipids: These also contain phosphorus and nitrogen. They are made up of a polar head with a phosphate

Signal Transformation for Continuous-Time Signals

Q1 (a) — Explain the signal transformation needed for transforming the independent variable for continuous-time signals.

Signal transformation changes the independent variable (usually time) to modify or analyze signals. Common transformations include:

  • Time shifting: Shifts the signal by a time constant t₀.
  • Time scaling: Compresses the signal (if a > 1) or expands it (if a < 1).
  • Time reversal: Flips the signal around the vertical axis.

Fundamental Accounting Principles and Rules

Accounting Concepts and Conventions – 20

Accounting is called the language of business. To ensure that financial statements are prepared in a meaningful and uniform manner, accountants follow certain basic rules, assumptions, and principles. These are known as Accounting Concepts and Conventions. They provide a framework within which accounts are prepared so that they become reliable, comparable, and understandable for users.

Part I: Accounting Concepts

Accounting concepts are basic assumptions on

OOP Fundamentals

  • Class: The blueprint for creating objects. Object: An instance of a class.
  • Attribute: A variable stored within an object. Method: A function defined within a class.
  • The self keyword refers to the object instance. __init__ is the constructor method.

OOP Example (Python)

class Car:
    def __init__(self, make, model, year):
        self.make = make; self.model = model; self.year = year
    def info(self):
        return f"{self.year}

Quantum Mechanics Fundamentals and Key Equations

COMPTON EFFECT

The Compton effect is the scattering of a high-frequency photon (like an X-ray or gamma-ray) after it collides with a charged particle, typically an electron. During this collision, the photon transfers some of its energy and momentum to the electron. As a result, the scattered photon has less energy and therefore a longer wavelength (λ’) than the incident photon (λ).

The change in wavelength, or Compton shift, is given by: Δλ = λ’ – λ = (h / m_e c) * (1 – cosθ)

where: h = Planck’
