B.Tech sem I Engineering Physics U-III Chapter 2-SuperconductivityAbhi Hirpara
1. Superconductivity occurs when the electrical resistance of a material drops to zero below a certain critical temperature. In certain metals such as lead, the electrical resistance becomes zero at temperatures below 7.2K.
2. There are two types of superconductors - Type I superconductors exhibit an abrupt loss of magnetization above a critical field strength, while Type II superconductors show a more gradual loss of magnetization above two critical field strengths.
3. The BCS theory developed by Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer in 1957 explains superconductivity as arising from electrons forming pairs (Cooper pairs) that condense into the same quantum state. This pairing is mediated by lattice vibrations
This document discusses energy bands in solids and classifications of materials based on their band structure. It explains that in solids, electron energy levels form bands of allowed energies separated by forbidden bands. Materials are classified as conductors, insulators or semiconductors depending on their band gap. Conductors have overlapping bands resulting in no band gap, insulators have a large band gap, and semiconductors have a narrow band gap that allows excitation of electrons with small amounts of energy. Intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors are also described based on their pure or doped material composition and charge carrier types.
1) The Born-Oppenheimer approximation separates the molecular Schrodinger equation into electronic and nuclear parts based on the large mass difference between electrons and nuclei.
2) It assumes that over short time periods, electrons adjust instantaneously to nuclear motions. This allows treating electronic motions separately for fixed nuclear positions.
3) Solving the electronic Schrodinger equation for different nuclear configurations provides the potential energy surface for nuclear vibrations and rotations.

There are eight principles of adult learning that guide educators in their work:
1) Learning involves a change in knowledge or behavior for adults. Adults seek out new information and learning opportunities.
2) Adults must be motivated to learn and choose to participate in educational activities. Their motivation impacts learning outcomes.
3) Adults learn best through direct participation and practical activities rather than passive learning. Educators should ensure learning starts at the right level and promotes success.
4) Learning content should have immediate real-world application to engage adults and address their needs. Problems and examples are better than abstract concepts.

2. The learning objectives aim to equip students with comprehensive physiology knowledge and abilities like teaching, research conduct, clinical evaluation, administration, and lifelong learning.
3. The competencies cover cognitive skills like advanced physiology understanding and teaching abilities, as well as psychomotor skills like clinical examinations, experiments, and assisted/observed procedures related to areas like hematology, CVS, nervous system, and more.
The Michigan Model for Health (MMH) is a comprehensive PreK-12 health education curriculum that aims to promote healthy behaviors. It teaches developmentally-appropriate skills in key areas like social-emotional health, nutrition, safety, alcohol/tobacco prevention, and disease prevention. Studies show students who receive MMH lessons demonstrate improved social skills, health attitudes, and reduced risky behaviors compared to peers. The MMH lessons are aligned with both Michigan and national health education standards and employ skills-based instructional methods to build students' abilities to adopt healthy lifestyles.
The document summarizes international standards for drug use prevention. It discusses evidence-based parenting skills programs that aim to improve parenting skills and support a warm child-rearing style. Such programs have shown to prevent substance use and promote healthy development when delivered universally or selectively. The document also outlines interventions and policies for different developmental periods like infancy/early childhood, middle childhood, early adolescence, and adolescence/adulthood. These include family-based programs, social influence programs in schools, and community-based coalitions. It stresses the need for a sustainable national prevention system with long-term funding and support.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

• Characteristics of health compromising behaviors:
• Behaviors practiced by people that undermine or harm their
current or future health.
• When a person succeeds in changing a poor health behavior,
often he or she will make other healthy lifestyle changes.
• The end result is that risk declines, and a disease-free middle
and old age becomes a possibility.

• Characteristics of health compromising behaviors:
• A window of vulnerability in adolescence.
• Behaviors such as drinking to excess, smoking, using illicit
drugs, and taking risks that can lead to accidents or early death,
all begin in early adolescence and sometimes cluster together
as part of a problem behavior syndrome.
• Not all health-compromising behaviors develop during
adolescence (obesity occurs during childhood).
• Many of these behaviors are tied to the peer culture, as
children learn from and imitate their peers, especially the male
peers they like and admire (wanting to be attractive to others).

• Characteristics of health compromising behaviors:
• A window of vulnerability in adolescence.
• Many of these behaviors are pleasurable, enhancing the
adolescent’s ability to cope with stressful situations (Ex.).
• Each of these behaviors is definitely dangerous. Each has been
tied to at least one major cause of death, and several,
especially smoking and obesity, are risk factors for more than
one major chronic disease.
• Adolescents who slip into these patterns are less likely to
practice good health habits and use leisure time for exercise in
midlife, setting the stage for an unhealthy middle and older
age.

• Characteristics of health compromising behaviors:
• These behaviors develop gradually, as the person is exposed to
the behavior, experiments with it, and later engages in it
regularly.
• Many health compromising behaviors are acquired through
• stages of vulnerability experimentation --> regular use.
• Substance abuse of all kinds - junk food, alcohol, cigarettes,
drugs, ………..,
• Adolescents’ involvement in risky behaviors often have conflict
with their parents and poor self-control.
• Adolescents who try to combine long hours of engagement
with work have an increased risk....

• Influencing Factors (Causes) of Addiction:
• Addictions take time to develop. It is unlikely that a person will
become addicted after using a substance once.
• The brain: Addiction leads to changes in the brain's reward
circuits over time.
• Family history: You may be more likely to become addicted if
you have family members who also have addictions.
• Genetics: Research suggests that genetics increases the
likelihood of developing an addiction
• Environment: Exposure to addictive substances, social
pressure, lack of social support, and poor coping skills can also
contribute to the development of addictions.
• Frequency and duration of use
