When stress is removed from a consolidated soil, the soil will rebound, drawing water back into the pores and regaining some of the volume it had lost in the consolidation process. If the stress is reapplied, the soil will re-consolidate again along a recompression curve, defined by the recompression index. Soil that has been consolidated to a large pressure and has been subsequently unloaded is considered to be overconsolidated. A soil which is currently experiencing the maximum past vertical effective stress is said to be normally consolidated.

What is the difference between relational tuple calculus and domain calculus?
Relational tuple calculus has its variables range over tuples, where domain relational calculus ranges its variables over the field values, or domain elements. Both types of calculus are subsets of first order logic.
When people say what is the delta what do they mean?
When people refer to "the delta," they typically mean the difference or change between two values or states. In various contexts, such as finance, science, or mathematics, it represents the variation in a particular variable over time or between two conditions. For example, in finance, delta can denote the change in the price of an option relative to the price change of the underlying asset. In general conversation, it signifies any measurable change or difference.
What is the difference between Algebra 2 and Pre calculus?
Im currently taking Pre Calculus and took Algebra 2 last year. To be honest, there really is no difference, there are only three new chapters of content we didnt go over last year in the whole book. If you passed Algebra 2 you'll pass Pre Calculus.
What long position is necessary to hedge a short call option?
It depends on whether the short call is covered or naked. If you have a short covered call (you own the stocks you wrote the call on), you wouldn't hedge it--if the call gets exercised you turn over the stocks you own and call it good. If you have a short naked call (you don't own the stock), hedge with a long call that has a strike price no more than the strike price of the short call. Maybe a few bucks less, if you can get it--if the counterparty to your short call exercises it, you exercise your long call, turn over the stock you received. Your profit will be the difference between the premiums on the calls, plus the difference between the strike prices.
What is one difference between fixed-rate mortgages and variable-rate mortgages?
One key difference between fixed-rate mortgages and variable-rate mortgages is the interest rate structure. Fixed-rate mortgages maintain a constant interest rate throughout the life of the loan, ensuring predictable monthly payments. In contrast, variable-rate mortgages have interest rates that can fluctuate over time based on market conditions, which can lead to changes in monthly payments. This means that while fixed-rate mortgages offer stability, variable-rate mortgages can potentially offer lower initial rates but may carry more risk over time.
What is over-consolidation?
Think of a clay body like a sponge. When the sponge is wet it swells up and when a pressure is applied to the sponge, water is forced out and the sponge shrinks. Consolidation is the term used to describe this phenomenon in clays. Normaly, the pressure applied to clays is due to the overburden pressure, or weight of the overlying clays bearing down on the strata. Therefore a normally consolidated clay is one that becomes more dense - that is more consolidated and tightly packed - as you go deeper into the strata. Over consolidated clays occur when at some stage during the history of the deposit, other earth pressures have been applied resulting in more water being squeezed out than would normally be expected. This causes the clay to become more densely packed in and as such is over consolidated. Over time, more clay is deposited over this layer resulting in normally consolidated clay over a denser layer of over consolidated clay... pheeeew, this is the best I can explain it with out making you sick with an intense geotechnical filibuster.

What is normally consolidated clay?
A type of clay which is subject to the same stress as in the past. Explanation: When clay particles are deposited by deposition agents like river,sea and others, layer after layers are deposited with time which induces stresses in the claylayer below, if the deposited layers are not eroded the stress will remain same without any change and hence will be called normally consolidated clay as oppose to Over consolidated clay in which erosion of the top layers has taken place which resulted in the stress relaxation or reduction.
