·A “Bourdon Tube” is used in: PRESSURE SENSORS
1)CCD Camera?
A CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is an electronic sensor used in cameras to capture digital images
It converts light → electrical charge → digital data
Each pixel stores charge proportional to the light intensity, forming the image
Construction
CCD is based on a MOS (Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor) structure, not a simple pn junction
Main parts:
P-type semiconductor body
Thin silicon dioxide insulating layer
Array of gate electrodes
When a positive voltage is applied to the gate:
Holes are repelled

Parallel and Distributed Programming Models
Parallel Programming Models
Shared Memory Model: Allows all processors to use the same memory space.
Distributed Memory Model: Uses separate memory for each processor and relies on message passing.
Data Parallelism: Applies the same operation to many data items at once.
Task Parallelism: Runs different tasks in parallel on possibly different data.
Distributed Programming Models
- Client-Server Model: Involves clients requesting services and servers providing them.

Muscular Tissue: Structure and Components
Muscles are made up of highly specialized, thin, and elongated cells called muscle fibers. The muscle fibers contain specialized cytoplasm called sarcoplasm that contains a network of membranes called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The muscle fibers may be bounded by the cell membrane called the sarcolemma. Each muscle fiber may contain numerous longitudinal fibrils called myofibrils.
Basic Physiological Properties of Muscle Tissue
- Contractility
- Excitability
- Extensibility
- Elasticity

Literary Movements: Romanticism, Realism, Naturalism
Romanticism
- Sources: Late seventeenth-century Germany.
- Opposition to: The neoclassical concept.
- Romantic Human: Dissatisfaction with reality, a search for an alternate time-space, sadness. A very romantic end often involved suicide.
- Creative Act: Emphasized imagination and originality; the concept of the artist as a *genius*.

Explain the use of scanf() and printf() with examples
#include <stdio.H>
int main() {
int a = 10;
float b = 5.5;
printf(“The value of a is %d and b is %.2f\n”, a, b);
return 0;
}
The value of a is 10 and b is 5.50
#include <stdio.H>
int main() {
int age;
printf(“Enter your age: “);
scanf(“%d”, &age);
printf(“You are %d years old.\n”, age);
return 0;

The Good, for Plato, is an idea based on the principle of “Know Thyself.” This theory, when put into practice, requires a core ability: prudence (practical wisdom). Prudence leads us to estimate justly what we have,
