What is considered a significant financial interest SFI that must be reported? A “Significant Financial Interest” (SFI) is the receipt by you, your spouse, or your dependent children of any of the following, if related to your University responsibilities or professional expertise: Income that exceeds $5,000 from any outside entity, measured on a rolling 12‐month […]
Which angle of light will heat the wood the most?
Which angle of light will heat the wood the most? 90° angle Why can you see objects placed under a heat lamp which emits infrared radiation? Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light and can pass through dense regions of gas and dust in space with less scattering and absorption. Thus, infrared energy can […]
What is the difference between positive reinforcement and positive punishment?
What is the difference between positive reinforcement and positive punishment? Instead, positive means you are adding something, and negative means you are taking something away. Reinforcement means you are increasing a behavior, and punishment means you are decreasing a behavior. All reinforcers (positive or negative) increase the likelihood of a behavioral response. How do you […]

Why is ecological footprint bad?
Why is ecological footprint bad? The ecological footprint is a measure of the resources necessary to produce the goods that an individual or population consumes. Finally, the lack of correlation between land degradation and the ecological footprint obscures the effects of a larger sustainability problem. What causes a high ecological footprint? Resource consumption such as […]
Which fruit or seed is dispersed by animals?
Which fruit or seed is dispersed by animals? Examples include mangoes, guavas, breadfruit, carob, and several fig species. In South Africa, a desert melon (Cucumis humifructus) participates in a symbiotic relationship with aardvarks—the animals eat the fruit for its water content and bury their own dung, which contains the seeds, near their burrows. What seeds […]
What is the angle of incident ray?
What is the angle of incident ray? In geometric optics, the angle of incidence is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal. The angle of incidence at which light is first totally internally reflected is known as the […]
What are the effects of quenching?
What are the effects of quenching? Even cooling such alloys slowly in air has most of the desired effects of quenching; high-speed steel weakens much less from heat cycling due to high-speed cutting. Extremely rapid cooling can prevent the formation of all crystal structure, resulting in amorphous metal or “metallic glass”. What is the difference […]
What are the 3 magnetic materials?
What are the 3 magnetic materials? Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic). These include the elements iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys, some alloys of rare-earth metals, and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestone. Does the human […]
Do pilots pee while flying?
Do pilots pee while flying? Piddle Packs are small bags male fighter pilots use to pee while in flight. They are specially shaped bags with absorbent beads in them. If we have to relieve ourselves, we’ll unzip the flight suit—which is designed to unzip from the top as well as the bottom—unroll the piddle pack, […]
