Study Notes
English III SLA QA #2
-
Cambrian Explosion: The sudden appearance and rapid diversification of animal remains in the fossil record around 541 million years ago, during the Cambrian period. Some scientists hypothesize this is due to organisms evolving body types better preserved in fossils.
-
Wigner Crystal: A hypothetical crystal entirely composed of electrons in a honeycomb-like structure, posited by physicist Eugene Wigner in 1934.
- This concept remained theoretical until 2021 when researchers created an image using electrons trapped between semiconductors.
- Trapped electrons were cooled and settled into a crystal. A graphene sheet was placed over the crystal, allowing the observation and confirmation of the Wigner crystal.
- The existence was confirmed by this method.
-
CEO Reporting Structure: A growing trend in recent years among CEOs to connect and interact with more departments within their companies. Research suggests an increased interest in connecting with more departments in order to obtain a broader array of ideas and perspectives.
- Researchers analyzed data showing the number of managers and leaders reporting directly to CEOs.
- Over time, the number of department leaders reporting directly to a CEO has increased overall.
-
Sea Otters and Eelgrass: Sea otters, even with large established populations, improve the health of eelgrass meadows.
- The damage sea otters inflict on eelgrass roots, paradoxically, increases sexual reproduction and genetic diversity in the plant. This diversity benefits meadow health.
-
Newborn Animal Attraction to Faces: Newborns of various social species (including humans, chickens, and macaques) show an innate attraction to face-like stimuli.
- This predisposition is researched in Testudo tortoises (tortoises) who exhibit a preference for face-like stimuli, hinting that it may not be solely an adaptation for social interactions or parental care.
-
Microprobes vs. Rovers: Microprobes, robotic probes weighing as little as 50 milligrams, offer an advantage over heavy rovers when exploring certain areas of Mars.
-
Because they're much lighter and smaller, microprobes can explore more areas than rovers which are much heavier, making it harder for them to land on the surface of Mars.
-
Interruptions in Microchip Supply: Interruptions in the supply chain of microchips used in personal electronics affect sales projections. Delays are likely to extend the predicted time frame of projections.
-
Voter Turnout and Political Information: More informed voters are more confident in their candidate assessments, and thus more likely to vote.
- Studies have shown a correlation between a voter's confidence in their candidate assessments and their likelihood of voting. Voters with higher levels of political information tend to vote with higher probability.
-
White Dwarfs and Exoplanets: Analysis of wavelengths of light in white dwarf atmospheres suggests the presence of exoplanets with continental crusts similar to Earth. Scientists studied the presence of lithium and sodium in the atmosphere. Concerns exist about the analysis's scope concerning possible minerals or ratios of elements not seen on Earth.
-
Language Revitalization: Joshua Hinson, a language revitalization director, was instrumental in developing the first indigenous language instructional apps and course for the Chickasaw language.
- In 2010, he created a Chickasaw language application(app), followed by a language course in the same language in 2015.
-
Reindeer Domestication: Archeological evidence suggests reindeer domestication began much earlier than previously thought. A 2,000-year-old reindeer training harness discovery challenges existing theories about domestication dates.
-
Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas: The park's geothermal springs are sourced by rainwater percolating through porous rocks, collecting in underground basins.
-
Food and Synesthesia(Novels): In certain novels, food and the sensation of taste serve as links to a character's memories and cultural identity. A character's taste sensitivity and experience of synesthesia evoke different sensations.
-
Choice Architectures (Jam Booth): Experimenting with the number of choices available can affect consumer decisions. Fewer choices can lead to higher purchase rates since the customers making a choice are presented with less complexity.
-
24 choices vs. 6 choices were experimented with. Higher selections showed lower purchase rates..
-
Conceptual Apartment Building Design: Conceptual artists designed an apartment with elements that are more aesthetically pleasing than practical; intended to enhance awareness and potentially contribute to the well-being of residents.
- Notable for its focus on aesthetics over functionality, the building was disorienting yet invigorating.
