The core of IoT is the data you can draw from things and transmit over the internet. To optimize the farming process, IoT devices installed on a farm should collect and process data in a repetitive cycle that enables farmers to react quickly to emerging issues and changes in ambient conditions. Smart farming follows a cycle similar to this one:
1. Observation . Sensors record observational data from the crops, livestock, soil, or atmosphere. 
2. Diagnostics. The sensor values are fed to a cloud-hosted IoT platform with predefined decision rules and models—also called "business logic"—that ascertain the condition of the examined object and identify any deficiencies or needs.
3. Decisions . The user and/or the machine learning-driven components of the IoT platform assess the revealed issues to decide if location-specific treatment is necessary.
4. Action . After end-user evaluation and action, the cycle repeats from the beginning.

Edited: Management Information System (MIS) is a computer-based system that provides managers with the tools to organize, analyze, and access data to support decision-making, improve strategies, and monitor operations within an organization. It integrates data collection, processing, and analysis to provide timely and accurate information for informed decision-making at all levels of the organization. 

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are fats and oils
Fatty acid and glycerol molecules are the components that make up triglycerides
Fats and oils have a number of important functions in organisms: energy storage, insulation, buoyancy, and protection

 
 






 
Energy storage

The long hydrocarbon chains in triglycerides contain many carbon-hydrogen bonds with little oxygen (triglycerides are highly reduced)

So when triglycerides are oxidised during cellular respiration this causes these bonds to break releasing energy used to produce ATP

 

Triglycerides, therefore, store more energy per gram than carbohydrates and proteins (37kJ compared to 17kJ)
As triglycerides are hydrophobic they do not cause osmotic water uptake in cells so more can be stored

Plants store triglycerides, in the form of oils, in their seeds and fruits. If extracted from seeds and fruits these are generally liquid at room temperature due to the presence of double bonds which add kinks to the fatty acid chains altering their properties
Mammals store triglycerides as oil droplets in adipose tissue to help them survive when food is scarce (e.g. hibernating bears)

 

The oxidation of the carbon-hydrogen bonds releases large numbers of water molecules (metabolic water) during cellular respiration

Desert animals retain this water if there is no liquid water to drink
Bird and reptile embryos in their shells also use this water

A management information system (MIS) is a system that collects a company's data and uses it to make more nimble, informed, and impactful business decisions. It's also an academic discipline you can study if you're interested in this type of work. If you enjoy using technology to solve business problems or answer important business questions, then a career in MIS may be a good fit.

Direct interaction:
API tests send requests directly to API endpoints and analyze the responses to ensure they meet expected outcomes.This involves checking status codes, response times, and the structure and content of the data returned.








Focus on business logic:
API testing primarily validates the underlying business rules and data flow within an application, independent of the user interface.








Early defect detection:
By testing APIs early in the development lifecycle, issues can be identified and resolved before they become more complex and costly to fix in later stages.








Automation potential:
API tests are highly automatable, allowing for frequent and efficient execution, which is crucial for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.








Types of API tests:
This can include functional testing (verifying core functionality), performance testing (measuring response times under load), security testing (identifying vulnerabilities), and integration testing (ensuring seamless communication between APIs and external services).



 

Whether you’re a full-time student, a working student or a parent going back to school, better time management skills are vital to living a balanced life. If you have a habit of leaving things until the last minute, try using Parkinson’s Law or the eat that frog method. If you have a hard time focusing on the task at hand, try the Pomodoro technique of working more intensely in short intervals.Mastering time management will set you up for success in all areas of your life and will help you avoid test anxiety when finals roll around. At USAHS, we emphasize supporting our students in their personal and professional lives. We help you develop the tools and additional resources you need to succeed in our graduate degree programs.

The group project is a much-dreaded component of undergraduate courses, doubly so if students are expected to create their own project from scratch. However, instructors consistently return to the independent group project as an exercise that, if done properly, stimulates student inquiry and cooperation. In this post, I reflect on my experiences facilitating student-led group projects in a biology course and relate these experiences to the commonalities of independent group work across disciplines. I outline four common issues related to independent group projects, then provide the rationale for managing each issue to maximize learning outcomes.

In 1957, people started figuring out new ways to build computer programs. They wanted to make the process better over time, so they came up with iterative and incremental methods.
In the 1970s, people started using adaptive software development and evolutionary project management. This means they were adjusting and evolving how they built software.
In 1990s, there was a big change. Some people didn't like the strict and super-planned ways of doing things in software development. They called these old ways "waterfall." So, in response, lighter and more flexible methods showed up.
