1. Traveling waves propagate in a single direction with minimal change in shape, such as ocean waves. Standing waves occur when traveling waves interact in an enclosed space and form stationary patterns of nodes and antinodes.
2. Newton's law of gravitation describes gravity as a force between two masses that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
3. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, the orbits of planets around the sun are ellipses with the sun at one focus, and planets sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time.

This document provides advice on how to stay young and enjoy life as one ages. It discusses how children are excited about getting older but that excitement fades with age. It then lists 10 tips for staying young, including throwing out numbers about age/weight, keeping cheerful friends, learning new things, enjoying simple pleasures, laughing often, accepting grief but moving on, surrounding oneself with loved ones, cherishing health, avoiding guilt, telling loved ones you care, and living life to its fullest each day. The overall message is to embrace life and make the most of each moment.
1. The document discusses various topics in waves, optics, oscillation, and gravitation including traveling waves, standing waves, wave propagation, simple harmonic motion, Newton's laws of gravity, and key terms.
2. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculations for spring oscillation, wave speed in a string, pendulum motion, and gravitational acceleration based on pendulum period.
3. Formulas are listed for spring constant, frequency, wave velocity, and other important relationships.
This document provides definitions and examples of relations and different types of relations. It discusses relations as sets of ordered pairs that satisfy a given rule or property. Reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relations are defined. Several examples of relations over different sets are given and determined to be reflexive, symmetric, transitive or none of the above. Solutions to exercises involving checking properties of various relations are also provided.
Student perceptions and attitudes towards the software factory as a learning ...Muhammad Ahmad
Industry needs graduates from universities having knowledge and skills to tackle the practical issues of real life software development. To facilitate software engineering students and fulfill industry need, the Department of Information Processing Science, University of Oulu, Finland, built a Software Factory laboratory (SWF) in 2012 based on Lean concept. This study examines factors in the SWF learning environment that affect learning of a SWF course by the students. It employs amended Computer laboratory Environment Inventory (CLEI) and Attitude towards Computers and Computing Courses Questionnaire instrument (ACCC) with two additional constructs: 1) Kanban board 2) Collaborative learning. The general findings indicate that SWF learning environment, collaborative learning and Kanban board play important role in software engineering students learning, academic achievements and professional skills gaining. The findings are helpful to develop a better understanding about learning environments. The information gathered in this study can also be used to improve the software engineering learning environment.
Icsea 2014 usage of kanban in software companiesMuhammad Ahmad
There is a growing interest in applying Kanban in software development to reap the proclaimed benefits presented in the literature. The goal of this paper is to provide up-to-date knowledge of the current state of Kanban usage in software companies, regarding the motivation for using it as well as the benefits obtained and challenges faced in its adoption. In addition, we investigate how the challenges identified in the study can be addressed. For this purpose, an empirical study was conducted consisting of a survey and complementing thematic interviews. The empirical study was carried out in November-December 2013 within large Finnish software companies, which extensively use Agile and Lean approaches. The obtained results are largely in line with the findings of earlier research reported in the literature. Generally, the experiences of using Kanban are rather positive; however, challenges in adoption identified include a lack of specialised training and usage experience, and a too traditional organisational culture.
1. The document discusses various topics related to waves, optics, oscillation, and gravitation. It defines key terms like traveling waves, standing waves, and wave propagation.
2. Important concepts are covered, including the principle of superposition, simple harmonic motion, Newton's laws of gravitation, and Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
3. Examples are provided to demonstrate applications of these concepts, such as calculating spring oscillation properties and determining values related to a vibrating string and pendulum motion.
1. Traveling waves propagate in a single direction with minimal change in shape, such as ocean waves. Standing waves occur when traveling waves interact in an enclosed space and form regions of maximum and minimum displacement called antinodes and nodes.
2. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every mass in the universe attracts every other mass with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
3. According to Kepler's laws of planetary motion, planets orbit the sun in ellipses, with the sun located at one focus, and planets sweep out equal areas in equal time intervals.
Kanban in software development: A systematic literature reviewMuhammad Ahmad
Using of Kanban in software development is an emerging topic. This systematic literature review was conducted in order to analyse the current trend of Kanban usage in software development and to identify the obtained benefits and involved challenges. The search strategy resulted in 492 papers, of which 19 were identified as primary studies relevant to our research. The main reported benefits of using the Kanban method were improved lead time to deliver software, improved quality of software, improved communication and coordination, increased consistency of delivery, and decreased customer reported defects. The reported challenges included lack of knowledge and specialized training as well as various organizational issues. Additionally, suggested practices were extracted from the primary studies and summarized for guiding the practitioners interested in adopting Kanban. The findings of this literature review are intended for helping researchers and practitioners to gain a better understanding of the current state of Kanban usage in software development.
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ADOPTION OF E-GOVERNMENT SERVICES IN PAKISTANMuhammad Ahmad
E-government provides opportunities to deliver various services more effectively and better serve citizens. In developing countries, e-government initiatives provide services that have been previously inaccessible to their citizens. However, e-government initiatives in developing countries are still in their infancy and face a wide range of barriers that restrict wide-spread use. Like many other developing countries, Pakistan has a low level of e-government services adoption. Previous research has investigated e-government services in developing countries from the organizational perspective. However, the research stream suffers from an absence of studies that have investigated e-government from a citizen’s perspective. The success of e-government services depends on government support as well as on citizen’s adoption. This paper aims to fill this gap by exploring the challenges and barriers of e-government services from the user’s perspective. In this study, an amended version of the UTAUT model is used to investigate the factors influencing the uptake of e-government services in Pakistan. The results show that the factors influencing the adoption of e-government services in Pakistan are related to ease of use, usefulness, social influence, technological issues, lack of awareness, data privacy, and trust. Implications for e-businesses and government policy decision makers are also considered in this study.
