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.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body
that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and
function in your body. If your endocrine system isn't healthy, you might have
problems developing during puberty, getting pregnant,
or managing stress. You also might gain weight easily,
have weak bones, or lack energy because too
much sugar stays in your blood instead of moving into
your cells where it's needed for energy

HPE 131: NETBALL
Trending!
In 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, James
Naismith, was ordered to invent an indoor game for high-spirited young men at the School for
Christian Workers (later the YMCA).
Most games tried ended with injury rates of staggering proportions! So Naismith conjured up a game whereby a ball had to be lobbed into a high peach basket (his reasoning being that if a ball had to dropped into the "goal", it couldn't be thrown at breakneck speed).

UCU110: FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION
Trending!
The major goal of any communicative action is to promote understanding. In the academic setting and in the professions, deeper understanding and insight are necessary. Collaboratingwith others in learning and at work ensures that quality ideas are shared for more effective task completion and problem solving. Therefore, the importance of communication and collaboration for learning and for assisting students prepare for their future careers cannot be overemphasized. These two competencies form part of the 4Cs (communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking) that have been singled out as the core attributes for success in the 21st century.

EPS110: PSYCHOLOGY.
Trending!
Psychological research uses scientific methods to provide enlightening and reliable information about behavior. Science is derived from the Latin word “scire” i.e. to know. Science avoids mere opinions, intuitions and guesses and strives to know by using objective evidence. Science uses logic to reason about the possible causes of a phenomenon and then tests the resulting ideas psychology relies on empirical evidence i.e. information gained from direct observation.The information is collected systematically through carefully designed experiments; various assumptions can be validated or refuted
