Christian Teachings: Parousia, Death, and Meaning of Life
Christian Teaching: Beyond the Present
Any preaching of Jesus is marked by the announcement of his coming as Lord at the end of time.
This is known by the glorious name Parousia: the full and final establishment of God’s reign. A reign of peace and justice for all.
The time between the first coming of the Lord and his coming in glory at the end of time is the time of the Church; it is our story. During this time, Christ does not leave us alone but is with us through his Spirit and encourages us to

4. Metabolism of Carbohydrates: Glycolysis: All carbohydrates obtained from the diet are digested by pancreatic and salivary enzymes, absorbed by the intestine, and metabolized in the blood and liver. Glucose is distributed throughout the body.
Glycolysis: Transformation of pyruvic acid (pyruvate) from glucose. The net reaction is: Glucose + 2NAD+ + 2ADP → 2 Pyruvates + 2NADH + 2ATP. It’s a highly energetic pathway, although it is fundamental (common to all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells). It

Computer Bus Architecture
Bus: In computer architecture, a bus is a transport mechanism that logically connects several peripherals using the same set of wires. This concept is similar to a shuttle, facilitating internal data transfers within a computer system during operation.
A bus is defined as a set of electrical connectors, typically metal tracks printed on the motherboard, through which signals travel. These signals correspond to the binary machine language used by the microprocessor.
The main

Lipids: An Introduction
Lipids: They do not have a characteristic functional group but are substances of biological origin, soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. All lipids share a common carbohydrate-based structure, which explains their insolubility in water.
Biological Functions of Lipids
Biological functions: Lipids serve as the primary energy reserves for living organisms. They are integral components of cell membranes and play a role in regulating cellular and tissue activity.

Muscle Fatigue
Muscle Fatigue: Muscle Damage (high tension), Substrate Depletion (CrP depletion for highly-intense exercise), Metabolite build up
Muscle Fiber Types and Metabolism
Twitch Velocity: Speed of contraction
- Fast Fiber: Contracts quickly
- Slow Fiber: Contracts Slowly
Metabolic: How ATP is replenished
- Oxidative: Lots of mitochondria & capillaries
- Glycolytic: Anaerobic, uses stored glycogen
- Slow-oxidative fibers: Smaller & slow contract velocity, fatigue resistant
- Fast-oxidative glycolytic:
Wireless Communication Techniques: OFDM, Diversity, and Propagation
Wireless Communication Techniques
1️⃣ Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
Definition:
OFDM is a multi-carrier modulation (MCM) technique where the total bandwidth is divided into multiple orthogonal subcarriers to reduce Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and enhance data transmission efficiency.

Post Neutral Grounding
The neutral conductor of airline distribution networks of utilities will be connected to ground at the processing center or power generating plant. Also, in the distribution patterns TT and TN type, driver neutral and protection scheme for TN-S, must be grounded elsewhere, and at least once every 500 meters of line length.
