In addition, entrepreneurship is commonly associated with creativity as well as innovation.
Entrepreneurship Goals
- Creating value: Providing products or services to customers that meet their needs, solve a problem,
Fluid Mechanics: Buoyancy, Stability, and Pressure Principles
Understanding Buoyancy
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas) on an object submerged in it. This force arises from the pressure difference exerted by the fluid on different parts of the object. When an object is immersed in a fluid, the pressure at the bottom of the object is higher than the pressure at the top, causing a net upward force. This buoyant force acts opposite to the force of gravity.
According to Archimedes’ principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force on an

Negotiation
Negotiation is the mutual arrangement and discussion of the terms of a transaction or agreement.
The Types of Negotiation
Distributive negotiation occurs when one side wins (or, more accurately, gains) and the other party loses. This is called a zero-sum game in Game Theory.
Integrative negotiations are when both sides win, often achieved through compromising.
Pyrrhic negotiations occur when both sides lose. Cases include situations where sides want to appear strong and do not want the other

Hybrid Fiber Optic-Coaxial (HFC)
Hybrid Fiber Optic-Coaxial (HFC) networks combine fiber optics and coaxial cable. This type of network represents the natural evolution of traditional cable television (CATV) networks.
The Headend
The headend is the central body from which the entire system originates. It usually has a set of antennas that receive TV and radio channels from different distribution systems (satellite, microwave, etc.), as well as links to other headends or television studios and other

Understanding Communication Systems
- Definition of a System
A combination of interacting elements organized to achieve one or more stated purposes.
- What is System Engineering?
Systems engineering is an iterative process of top-down synthesis, development, and operation of a real-world system that satisfies, in a near-optimal manner, the full range of requirements for the system.
