(a) List three extragalactic distance
indicators and briefly describe how they work. (b)
How are they calibrated? (c) Give a principal
advantage and disadvantage of each.
1. Describe briefly what might be regarded as ‘audit quality’
and how ‘audit quality’ might be assessed. 2. Outline and discuss
how auditor’s independencemight impact ‘auditquality’. 3. Outline
and discuss how the audit expectations gap might impact
‘auditquality’.
Explain the concepts of “luminosity distance” and “proper
distance”, and how they are different. How does the observed
bolometric flux, f, from a distant source with luminosity,
L, depend on redshift, z? What factor(s) cause(s)
this redshift dependence? Describe the properties of a universe
where the luminosity distance would be identical to the proper
distance.
1. Briefly describe the expenditure multiplier and state how it
is computed. How is it different from the Tax multiplier?
2. Discuss how spending and output influences equilibrium in a
simple model where aggregate expenditure = consumption.
3. Describe how unplanned inventory can influence equilibrium in
the model where AE=(C+I+G+(X-M))
Ecology:
How might flight-initiation distance change
with changing distance to cover? (For example, if
both the distance from the predator to the prey, and the distance
from the prey to the safe zone, were different.) Be sure to relate
your answers in terms of effects on foraging efficiency (in our
demonstration, number of nutrition points) and predation rates (in
our demonstration, how many prey die).
Describe the "behavior" of F_air: in Rocket Dynamics , why
might it first increase with height, and then decrease with even
greater height. Dissect the equation like a physicist: what terms
in the equation for F_air are more important and when?
The air force = -(.5cAd0e^-ky)v^2/m.
1- List and describe the different sources of American law and
how they originate.
2- Briefly explain what is the difference between utilitarian
and duty based ethics?
3- Discuss the differences and similarities between sole
proprietorships and general partnerships as well as the advantages
and disadvantages of one versus the other.
4- What is the difference between a de-jure and a de-facto
corporation?
5- Discuss the role and powers of shareholders in a corporation.
6- What are the duties of...
6. Briefly describe how a specific phobia of heights is
different from a fear of heights.
a. I am assuming that you have read
some of the criteria for a social phobia and agoraphobia. Imagine
you have two people, one diagnosed with social phobia and the other
diagnosed with agoraphobia. One of these people can be helped to
get out of the house if he/she is accompanied by a close friend who
is trusted. The other would only do worse...
