The temperature coefficient of resistivity of iron is 5.0  10-3 / C; that of carbon is -0.50  10-3 / C. When an iron wire and a carbon rod, each having the same 10 W resistance at 20C, are cooled from that temperature to -80C, the new ratio of the resistance of the carbon rod to the resistance of the iron wire at the lower temperature is
 a. -0.10.
  b. +1.9.
  c. +2.1.
  d. -10.
  e. +10.

Question 2

If a mile of 24-gauge copper wire has a resistance of 0.14 kW and the resistivity of copper is 1.7  10-8 W  m, what is the diameter of the wire? (1 mile = 1.6 km)
 a. 0.40 mm
  b. 0.50 mm
  c. 0.63 mm
  d. 0.80 mm
  e. 0.25 mm

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease. However, without proper precautions, an individual may contract the disease repeatedly. In fact, most people develop trichomoniasis again within three months of their last treatment.

Interferon was scarce and expensive until 1980, when the interferon gene was inserted into bacteria using recombinant DNA technology, allowing for mass cultivation and purification from bacterial cultures.

Did you know?

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in overdose can seriously damage the liver. It should never be taken by people who use alcohol heavily; it can result in severe liver damage and even a condition requiring a liver transplant.
