Can you give an example of stress signal?
STRESS SIGNALYou come from physical science background and only because you get a chance You ask (DURING INTERVIEW), a senior colleague from basic medical science background, probing and insulting questions about his or her research work about which you do not understand anything You do not bother to even take a look and/or understand the nature of work You think and take bloated pride that you are a winner by humiliating your colleague (as he or she do not give equally insulting rejoinder) This is a sadistic change in you resulting from mismanagement of your stress You can create harm not only to yourself but also to the society
What does eco mean in 'eco town'?
An eco town or city is a city or place that has been built and developed to be environmentally friendly and sustainable
The standards eco-towns should meet include the following (as set out in the 'draft Planning Policy Statement: eco-towns'):
- Affordable housing: a minimum of 30% affordable housing in each eco-town
- Zero-carbon: eco-towns must be zero-carbon over the course of a year (not including transport emissions)
- Green space: a minimum of 40% of eco-towns must be comprised of greenspace
- Waste and recycling: eco-towns must have higher recycling rates and make use of waste in new ways
- Homes: homes must reach Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 or higher (surprisingly not the highest standard available, casting doubt on the credibility of these requirements)
- Employment: at least one job opportunity per house accessible by public transport, walking or cycling (although the standards are silent on how housing developers might guarantee this and it is largely discredited in the current economic crisis)
- Services: there must be shops and a primary school within easy walk of every single home, and all the services expected from a town of up to 20,000 homes
- Transition/construction: facilities should be in place before and during construction
- Public transport: real-time public transport information in every home, a public transport link within ten minutes walk of every home
- Community: there must be a mixture of housing types and densities, and residents must have a say in how their town is run, by governance in new and innovative ways
There are further standards on water, biodiversity and other issues
What is the definition of negative birth rate?
That is when more people die than there are babies born in a certain area, country, etc. More people die in a given place than are born.
Who suggested steam-powered vehicles in 1680?
Ferdinand Verbiest is reported to have suggested the first steam powered car in 1672, but there is little evidence of this remaining. The next 100 years were fraught with development issues.
Why is Africa called a mirror image?
Africa is called a mirror image because of its climate, split by it's equator. In the north it is mediterranean climate, then desert, then grassland, then rainforest, then grassland, then desert, and finally back to a mediterranean kind of climate
How do you prepare contingency plan?
According to experts, writing a contingency plan is to consider another course of action if the current business plan does not work. An example, if a business produces and sells chocolate chip cookies and sales decline due to consumer interest then a business should seek another product to sell in lieu of chocolate chip cookies such as sugar cookies to draw consumer interest.
An anthropoid is a type of invertaber it consists of arachnids, insects, myriapods and crustaceans
This answer is WRONG. I think you mean 'arthropod.' Anthropoid is a primatology term referring to simians, or Old World monkeys and apes.
Cultural adaptation is when a person who is foreign to the culture begins assimilating or fitting in. They may lose some of the traditions or practices of their previous culture and begin to take on characteristics of their new culture.
What are the gender roles in late adulthood?
This can depend upon the relationship status of the person in question.
In a marriage, typically men are the workers who bring home money, they fix things around the home, participate in masculine activities such as football and baseball (although these are not exclusively masculine activities). They tend to be the enforcer within the parenting unit as well and the overall protector of the family.
In a marriage, women typically care for the household, cleaning, cooking, tending the children, they often have a nurturing attitude (as opposed to the man's strong and disciplinary attitude). They will often be part of scrapbooking, cards, or quilting clubs (although this is the tendency it is not a rule).
When the woman is single during late adulthood, assuming she has children, she will have to take over many of the characteristics typically held by men in order to control and manage her household.
When the man is single during late adulthood, he also carries many of the characteristics of the married man, but must also shoulder the responsibilities that typically go to women, such as cooking and cleaning.
What is the opposite of medium?
Same
I'm no expert but since I just randomly asked myself the same question I'll give it a shot. I would think the opposite of medium theoretically is medium. For instance, you take two objects, one black and one white. The opposite of the black object would be white, and vice versa. The medium would ideally be gray. The opposite of gray is still gray, but the two objects on either side of medium being compared have changed again.
Medium never changes, meaning it wouldn't be a balance, but the base on which something is balanced on.
Compliment
Thinking in terms of sets, the opposite of something is the compliment of itself in a two-element space. Medium, in this context, implies a three-element space. Thus taking the compliment would yield both extremes but not medium itself. For example, if gray is the medium of black and white, then the opposite of gray is black AND white.
Another view
You can read on but after reevaluating it all i felt it was fair to change the extreme and have 2 opposites. Im posting it anyway because it's still an interesting theory. There doesn't seem to be an opposite of medium.
What i like about the complimented statement is that it allows for the full range of what an opposite should be. What i don't like is that it has to be both black and white. Too paradoxical. I've decided to give medium 2 opposites. And yes for the first and main portion i will be using the synonym middle.
distance multiplied by 1.5 = opposite of middle.
and
distance multiplied by -.5 = opposite of middle.
To help explain the opposite of middle ill use an expample. if you measure 200 ft the middle would be 100 ft. 200x1.5 =300 or 200x-.5=-100. both 300 ft and -100 ft are the opposites of middle for the distance of 200 ft. If you don't quite get it, think of the extreme as always being 200 ft (see definition of middle below).
To find the opposite of middle for a 3D object multiply it by 1.5 or -.5 ( the object will now be larger or smaller). The new invisible surface areas of the object are its opposites of middle. The negative objects surface would now be inside out and on its opposite side. If the object is not symmetrical you would have to do complex calculations to find its center.
For fun I'll try 1 demenion. The opposite of 1D (nothing) is everything or infinity when dealing with space. So the opposite of middle for let's say the coordinates 0,0,0 would be infinity mulitplied by 1.5 or of course -.5 whatever the hell that means.
Definition of middle: equally distant from the extremes or outer limits; central: the middle point of a line.
Even though the new line has new extremes that's okay because the original line still follows with the definition. 100 foot remains the middle point the whole time.
Okay great, but what about medium?
Grey would be the medium of black and white. You could solve this by using the middle of opposite equation. Computers use numbers to decide color. A negative black is a rich black. a strong white is a very bright and "blown out" white. Or you could figure out the opposite of medium for a medium cooked steak. That would get somewhat complicated because you would have to know why the steak is medium while not impossible but could run into difficulties. I'm tired and if anyone wants to figure out the opposite of middle for the 4th demention go ahead lol im going to bed
P.S.
Definition of medium:
a middle state or condition; mean.
Which is not a primary color green blue red yellow?
Believe it or not, it depends. There are two models of color theory, additive and subtractive. In the additive model, which is when light goes through color (think theatre lighting, video cameras, televisions), the primary colors are red, green and blue. In print (subtractive model), where light reflects off color, the primary colors are generally considered to be cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
AnswerNot green or blue ANSWER:Yellow. Old monitors were called RGB, red green blue, all colors can be made from these three.Does lipstick have crude oil inside of it?
Yes, well sort of. Petroleum jelly is derived from oil, as you can read about in the attached link.
Lipstick is made of many products that are derived from plants. Carnuba wax comes from palms. See links.

What branch of physics deals with energy and matter?
All physics deals with energy and matter. In effect that is almost a complete definition of what Physics IS.
Definition of class inequality?
different from one another . this has given rise to two major classes :
"RICH AND POOR " .
- The science of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially of atomic and molecular systems.
- The composition, structure, properties, and reactions of a substance.
- The elements of a complex entity and their dynamic interrelation: "Now that they had a leader, a restless chemistry possessed the group" (John Updike).
- Mutual attraction or sympathy; rapport: The chemistry was good between the partners.
those are what it says in the dictionary....
Chemistry is the branch of science which deals with matter, composition of matter, properties of matter, changes in matter and the laws and principal which govern these changes.
