The document traces the history of atomic theory from ancient Greece to modern times. It discusses the ideas of early philosophers like Democritus who hypothesized atoms as indivisible particles. Experimental discoveries throughout the 18th-19th centuries led to identifying elements through spectroscopy and discovering over 55 elements near volcanoes. Niels Bohr incorporated these findings into his 1913 model of the atom with electrons orbiting in discrete shells. John Dalton further refined atomic theory in 1808 by postulating that atoms are uniform, distinct, and combine to form compounds. Later, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron and Ernest Rutherford deduced the nuclear structure of atoms through deflection experiments.
460 BC - Greek philosopher proposes the existence of the atom
He pounded materials until he made them into smaller and smaller parts
He called them atoma which is Greek for “indivisible”.

The Six Pillars that underpin customer Experience Excellence in Retailgileslive
Nunwood's Customer Experience Excellence study, undertaken in 3 continents over 4 years, has identified Six Pillars that underpin customer experience excellence. No matter the industry or brand, all Six Pillars must be delivered for a world class experience.
In the UK, a ‘premier league’ of around 25 brands are pulling away from the pack. Of the 250 brands reviewed in the UK, around 170 in ‘mid table’ deliver a level experience that is 'good'. The 'premier league', however, are delivering beyond the norm, often across each of the pillars.
Looking at each industry within the UK study, Retail, in particular Grocery Retail, leads the way. At the opposite end of the performance spectrum, Utilities and Telecoms trail. Their opaque pricing policies, multiple tariffs and inflexibility are often cited by customers as major problems.
In our thesis work, we try to find out the efficiency of several sorting algorithms and generate a comparative report according to performance, based on experimental data size and data order for all algorithm. To do this we have researched, analyzed about 9 different types of well-known sorting algorithms. We convert the algorithms to programmable code, compile and run with different set of data. We keep the sorting algorithm’s description as it is. We give focus on, how the algorithms work, considering their total operation count (assignment count, comparison count) and complexity based on our same data set for all algorithm. We write programming code for each sorting algorithm in C programming language. In our investigation, we have also worked with big and small data for different cases (ordered, pre-ordered, random, disordered) and put their result in different tables. We show the increasing ratio to compare the result. we also show the data in graphical chart for view comparative report in same window. We mark their efficiency with point and ranked them. At last we discussed their result of efficiency in a single table. We modify the merge sort and try to make an improved tri-merge sorting algorithm that is more efficient than marge sort. Theoretically if we divide and conquer with higher number its result is better, some paper exists on it, but to manage the algorithm, there cost lot of operations count. Like, if we consider quadratic divide-conquer, its manage complexly is huge than binary divide-conquer that why we generally use binary merge. We found trimerge is theoretically and practically true based on investigation data set. Tri-marge take some more compare operation for manage and sort when data remain 1 or 2 at last stage, whereas binary merge don’t need such compare. But for big data size tri-merge gain lot of operation count that give significant result that declare tri-merge is more efficient than merge sort algorithm. We also experiment with penta-merge algorithm which give more better result but algorithm and implementation is too complex.
We shall try to define the tri-merge algorithm so that it can be used to implement in any
programming language. It will help students, researchers to use the algorithm, as like we
got the various algorithm structure over the internet.

In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

History of Atomic Theory
1. A History
of the
Atomic
Theory

2. In 500 BC Ancient Greece
• Democritus philosophized that
everything in nature is ultimately made
of only one substance. He gave it the
name “Atomos”. That means
something that cannot be divided. So, if
you divide matter down to its smallest
thing, then you get something really
small and hard to break. He was almost
right about it, when considering that
most people imagine infinite types of
atoms – we now agree on only
90 naturally occurring elements.

3. 1802 William Wollaston
• Wanted a better system for classifying
gunpowder to be used during the
Napoleonic Wars. He Invented a
method of burning the powder and
letting the light of the burning material
pass through a prism. This rainbow of
color would shine against a backdrop,
and small pieces of spectrum would be
missing. This method of identifying
elements by their absorption, and
equally common,
emission spectra
are, both even today,
the most preferred
techniques.

4. Early Alchemists
Tried to make elements
turn in to Gold. They
discovered that the best place
to find pure elements was
close to volcanoes, or
geologically active areas. By
1830, 55 elements had been
discovered, most of which
were metals.

5. Niels Bohr
Uses Wollaston’s element
classification with spectral lines to
create the Bohr model of the atom.
He called the different “pieces” of missing
colors in the rainbow – Quanta. He theorized
that these lines were caused by electrons
orbiting the atoms absorbing discrete packets
of energy. Since these always occurred at exact
spots in the spectrum, it meant that the
electrons must always “live” at exact distances
or energies away from the nucleus. This
parceling of energy rather than mixing
randomly into the entire spectrum of possibility
is the basis for quantum theory.

7. Modern Atomic Theory – by John
Dalton, an English Teacher 1808
• Every element is made of atoms.
• All atoms of any element are the same.
• Atoms of different elements have different
properties (like weight and size).
• Atoms of different elements combine to form
compounds.
• Atoms are not made, destroyed, or changed (in
chemical reactions).
• The numbers of atoms remain the same (in
chemical reactions).

8. Joseph John Thomson
By the end of the 19th century
most scientists had agreed on the
atomic theory. Thomson
reasoned that the blue glow
at the cathode end of a tube of gas
energized with electricity, is made
by small negative pieces of atoms
that have almost no mass –
“Electrons”

9. Ernest Rutherford
• In 1911 Rutherford performs an experiment
where gold film, almost 1 atom thick, is
bombarded with alpha particles. He finds that the
particles mostly go straight through the film without
bouncing off, but they bounce back about 1 out of
10,000 times. Sometimes they come straight back. He
reasoned the electrons weren't massive enough to
cause a large straight deflection like that, so they must
be positively charged to give the deflection extra
energy, and the nucleus must be 1/10,000th the size
of the whole atom, since it happened 1/10,000 times.

11. If the nucleus of an atom were a
pencil eraser placed in the middle
of the field,
then the electrons would be
orbiting the nucleus about the
distance of the furthest row of
bleachers in a stadium.

12. • Atoms – smallest piece of matter that can be
derived chemically.
• Nucleus – the center of the atom. Consists of
protons (+ charge), and neutrons (neutral
charge).
• Electrons – almost weightless, surround the
nucleus (- charge)
• Molecules – smallest piece of matter that exists
in nature (physically)
• Element – All of the same kind of atoms
• Compound – Different elements put together to
make a molecule. (chemically different than its
elements)
• Mixture – Components mixed and can be
separated physically.
