Myths Of Servant Leadership
1) Servant leadership means giving up power to employees.
Servant leadership is about sharing power and decision-making with employees to enable the business to be successful.
Servant leadership doesn’t mean that employees can do whatever they want, or that every decision within the organization is made by consensus.
2) A servant leader is abdicating responsibility for success.
Servant leader understands that they are ultimately responsible for the success of their employees and the success of their business.
Sometimes decisions need to be made that only the leader can make; the tough calls that might be unpopular.

“Scrum Master” & “Agile Project Manager”: A Tale of Two Different Roles by Manohar Prasad, CSP®-SM, CSP®-PO, CSM®, CSPO®, PSM I®, Agile Coach
“The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted. Scrum Masters do this by ensuring that the Scrum Team adheres to Scrum theory, practices, and rules.”
“The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum Team understand which of their interactions with the Scrum Team are helpful and which aren’t. The Scrum Master helps everyone change these interactions to maximize the value created by the Scrum Team.”
Agile in sales takes sales management strategies from the Agile world. One such framework is called the Scrum. The Scrum components include sprints, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint review, sprint retrospective and constant iteration and applies all of them to selling. This methodology helps sales teams be more flexible, cross-functional, and effective which ultimately increases the sales.
Agile is a software development methodology in which the development is carried out iteratively and the requirements evolve through continuous inspection and adaptation. Some of the most commonly used agile software development methods/frameworks are: Adaptive Software Development (ASD), Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum and Kanban.
Scrum is an efficient framework within which you can develop software with teamwork. It is based on agile principles.
This presentation will help you understand agile development in general and Scrum in specific. You will get familiar with its associated terminology along with appropriate examples.
SDLC is the acronym of Software Development Life Cycle. It is also called as Software development process. The software development life cycle (SDLC) is a framework defining tasks performed at each step in the software development process.
What do you mean by Requirements?
A requirement is:
A condition or capability needed by a stakeholder to solve a problem or achieve an objective.
A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a solution or solution component to satisfy a contract , standard, specification, or other formally imposed documents.
A documented representation of a condition or capability as mentioned above.
Training & development evaluation is a continual and systematic process of assessing the value or potential value of a training program, course, activity or event. Results of the evaluation are used to guide decision-making around various components of the training (e.g. delivery, results) and its overall continuation, modification, or elimination.
Search engine optimization is a methodology of strategies, techniques and tactics used to increase the visitors to a website by obtaining a high-ranking placement in the search results page of a search engine -- including Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines. SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine.
Digital Marketing is an alternative terms for online marketing or e-marketing. There is no difference between online marketing and digital marketing but a few experts also make a few difference between both type marketing as they have said that digital marketing bears of virtual products but online marketing carries virtual and physical products. Business and marketing has been redirected to online presence either physical or digital products because World Wide Web has become common household name around the globe. Normally customers and clients check their needs online either physical products or digital products.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
