According to Snell's law, what is the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction equal to? A. The ratio of the wavelengths of the two media. B. The ratio of the frequencies of the two media. C. The ratio of the refractive indices of the two media. D. The ...
This gave rise to the observations calledMoore's Law, which states that the number of transistors in a denseintegrated circuitdoubles approximately every two years. The observation is named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, who wrote a paper describing it in...
land use of the recording site, DisRdMajor, and DisRdAll), four landscape indices (including AREA_MN, PD, CONTAG, and SHDI), two land cover factors (including the proportion of cultivated land and that of forest), all of the four acoustic factors, all of the two temporal factors, and...
Judges hear and decide cases based on their general understanding of the law. Sometimes a case — like a malpractice suit or a labor dispute — requires special expertise, so judges send court clerks to a law library, looking for precedents and specific cases they can cite. Like a good judg...
Although it hasn't been as long as Buffett, there have always been suspicions of black boxes. There are a few sentiments: 1. Even the best people leave for a day. I remember when Jobs met Gates before his death, he felt a sense of emotion: This person is really healthy. ...
Quality of lifeis a more subjective and intangible term than standard of living. As such, it can often be hard to quantify, but studies have been conducted for a number of years. This research has led to the creation ofhappiness economicindices such as theGross National Happiness(GNH) ind...
Hash-based structures map keys to values using hash functions that associate related data by assigning indices to hash tables. Document-oriented databases Document-oriented databases organize quantities of information about an entity into a single object (the document), which is separate from other ...
Saying What the Law Is: The Constitution in the Supreme Court University of Michigan affirmative action case, Charles Fried sets out to make sense of the main topics of constitutional law: the nature of doctrine, federalism, separation of powers, freedom of expression, religion, liberty, and ....
When light hits the surface of a dielectric, it reflects and refracts depending on the angle of incidence. The direction of the reflected wave follows the “Law of Reflection”. We see the Fresnel effect in everyday life, on both shiny and rough surfaces. It’s especially clear on the wa...
Unlike traditional futures contracts, which are staked to the expected prices of commodities, financial instruments, or indices, event futures are priced according to the perceived likelihood of particular events winning or losing. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has been offering event futures si...
