The events of prophase seem to be opposite of those that occur during what phase?
Telophase is essentially prophase in reverse.
What happens during a reverse auction?
In a reverse auction sellers are in competition to obtain the buyers business. The name reverse auction is apt because the role of buyers and sellers is reversed and instead of prices escalating, the prices generally go lower as sellers compete for the buyer's business.
How do ocean currents affect precipitation?
The answer is from earth.rice.edu/MTPE/hydro/hydrosphere/topics/Ocean_Atm_Circ_ElNino.html Ocean temperatures and winds are coupled into a complex interactive system. Varying ocean temperatures affect local atmospheric pressure, which creates regional wind patterns that, in turn, drive oceanic currents that affect surface ocean temperatures. This movie illuminates how these processes interact to produce our climate system. In a way, the oceans absorb the suns solar rays, then the currents shift the heat around the globe warming the land during winter & cooling them during the summer.
What is the primary feature of a neuron that prevents the action potential from traveling back from where it just passed?
Antidromic conduction, or the process of an action potential traveling backwards, is possible. However, regardless of the direction of the action potential, it is propagated by voltage-gated ion channels. Whenever these channels open, there is a sudden exchange of ions, after which the channels snap shut. During this period, known as the refractory period, the channels will not reopen, and thus an action potential will not be able to reverse direction.
What is the word that the general direction of water during evaporation?
Evaporated molecules of water go up.
Why during measurement the measured voltage and currents have negative sign?
Because of the polarity of the circuit. The signs of measured current and voltage depends on the direction of the current and voltage.
What is meant by negative half-cycle of an alternating current?
Alternating current varies in magnitude, and reverses direction every half-cycle. When the current is drifting in one direction we allocate it a 'positive' direction; when it reverses direction we allocate it a 'negative' direction. So the positive half-cycle refers to its variation in current during its forward or positive direction and the negative half-cycle refers to its variation in current during its reverse or negative direction.
Can a airplanes engines go in reverse?
Yes, they doesn't run the engine backwards, but they extend some panel is witch the trust is send to the opposite direction. This is how planes can brake during landings.
How does the wind blow during night time?
The wind blows during the night time because of air currents that are cooling during the night. During the day, these currents are heated and exchange places with cooler air higher in the atmosphere.
What is the difference between power semiconductors and semiconductors?
power semiconductorspower semiconductors can drive large currents during forward biassemiconductorsemiconductors drive small currents during forward bias
What currents did Columbus encounter during his voyages?
Gary the whale
What is the reverse recovery time of semiconductor diode?
When a diode passes from forward biased to reverse biased it takes a short period of time for the charge carriers in the vicinity of the junction to recombine and create a nonconducting depletion region. During this time period the diode conducts in the reverse direction, this is called the reverse recovery time. Its different for every kind of diode, to get the value for a specific diode consult the datasheet.
Are air currents downward during the final stages in a thunderstorm?
yes
What can happen if you reverse a SCSI cable during installation?
it appears that an SCSI cable can be installed in either direction. If not, then it will 1. not be able to be installed the wrong way 2. not work. you will simply have to switch it; no damage should be done
What are streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean called?
currents
Which direction did the titianic go in?
During its voyage the direction was generally westerly
What happens to the direction of light in which it travels during reflection?
it goes in a different direction:>
