In the return stroke of a typical lightning bolt, a current of 2.5 ' 104 A exists for 20 ms. How much charge is transferred in this event?

Campbell Biology in Focus - Standalone book 1
A typical prokaryotic cell has about 3,000 genes in its DNA, while a human cell has about 20,500 genes. About 1,000 of these genes are present in both types of cells. Based on your understanding of evolution, explain how such different organisms could have this same subset of genes. What sorts of fun

Macroeconomics 22nd
Why is a quota more detrimental to an economy than a tariff that results in the same level of imports as the quota? What is the net outcome of either tariffs or quotas for the world economy?

Urban Economics 8
Consider the example shown in Tables 21 and 22. Suppose a single number changes: The shirt output per hour in the North is four shirts instead of six shirts. To specialize, a North household switches one hour from bread to shirts, and a South household switches two hours from shirts to bread. The exc
