1. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, while thermal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy.
2. Heat is the flow of thermal energy from warmer to cooler objects.
3. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree, and it explains why some materials heat up or cool down faster than others.
Different objects have different heat capacity. Sand has a low heat capacity and gets hot quickly while sea water has a high heat capacity and gets hot slowly. Heat capacity of an object increases when the mass of the object increases. For example, the water in a full kettle takes a longer time to boil compared to the water in a half-fi lled kettle. This shows that water of bigger mass has a higher heat capacity compared to water of smaller mass.
Several daily situations involving heat capacity also discussed.

Examples of Convection
What is convection? The convection is the heat transfer based on the actual motion of the molecules of a substance: here involves a fluid which can be gas or liquid.
The transmission convective heat may occur only in fluids where natural movement (the fluid extracts heat from the hot zone and changes densities) or forced circulation (through a fan the fluid moves), the particles can move transporting the heat without interrupting the physical continuity of the body. Here a series of convection examples:
The heat transfer of a stove.
Hot air balloons, which are held in the air by hot air. If it cools, the balloon immediately begins to fall.
When the water vapor fogs the glass of a bath, by the hot temperature of the water when bathing.
The hand or hair dryer, which transmits heat by forced convection.
The heat transfer generated by the human body when a person is barefoot.
Radiation Examples
What is radiation? The radiation is the heat emitted by a body due to its temperature, in a process that lacks contact between bodies or intermediate fluids transported heat.
The radiation causes a body to be solid or liquid of higher temperature than another, occur immediately transfer heat to each other. The phenomenon is that of the transmission of electromagnetic waves, emitted by bodies at a higher temperature than absolute zero: the higher the temperature, the greater these waves will be.
That is what explains that radiation can only occur while the bodies are at a particularly high temperature. Next, a group of examples where radiation occurs:
The transmission of electromagnetic waves through the microwave oven.
The heat emitted by a radiator.
Solar ultraviolet radiation, precisely the process that determines the Earth’s temperature.
The light emitted by an incandescent lamp.
The emission of gamma rays by a nucleus.
The processes of heat transmission increase and decrease the temperatures of the affected bodies, but also sometimes (as exemplified by ice) are responsible for the phenomena of phase changes, such as the boiling of water in steam, or the fusion of water in ice. Engineering concentrates many of its efforts to take advantage of this possibility of manipulating the state of bodies through the transmission of heat.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Thermal Energy A. Temperature & Heat 1. Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
2. 2. SI unit for temp. is the Kelvin a. K = C + 273 (10C = 283K) b. C = K – 273 (10K = -263C) 3. Thermal Energy – the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in a substance.
3. 4. Thermal energy relationships a. As temperature increases, so does thermal energy (because the kinetic energy of the particles increased). b. Even if the temperature doesn’t change, the thermal energy in a more massive substance is higher (because it is a total measure of energy).
4. 5. Heat a. The flow of thermal energy from one object to another. b. Heat always flows from warmer to cooler objects. Ice gets warmer while hand gets cooler Cup gets cooler while hand gets warmer
5. 6. Specific Heat a. Some things heat up or cool down faster than others. Land heats up and cools down faster than water
6. b. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by one degree (C or K). 1) C water = 4184 J / kg C 2) C sand = 664 J / kg C This is why land heats up quickly during the day and cools quickly at night and why water takes longer.
7. Why does water have such a high specific heat? Water molecules form strong bonds with each other; therefore it takes more heat energy to break them. Metals have weak bonds and do not need as much energy to break them. water metal
8. How to calculate changes in thermal energy Q = m x T x C p Q = change in thermal energy m = mass of substance T = change in temperature (T f – T i ) C p = specific heat of substance
9. c. A calorimeter is used to help measure the specific heat of a substance. First, mass and temperature of water are measured Then heated sample is put inside and heat flows into water T is measured for water to help get its heat gain This gives the heat lost by the substance Knowing its Q value, its mass, and its T, its C p can be calculated
