Solid State Physics

a) Solid gold has a density rho=19.3 g/cm^3 and a molar mass M=197grams/mole. Calculate the center-to-center distance between gold atoms in the Face-Centered-Cubic structure of solid gold.

b) Calculate the Fermi Energy Ef (epsilon sub fermi) of gold in eV.

c) At T=0 determine the energy e-sub-one half e(1/2) such that half the conduction electrons in gold have more than this en

study of the problem-solving process in business. We are asked to make decisions "rationally", but being human, we also respond "rationally" to our self-serving incentives. Obviously, if the incentives are misaligned, the problem-solving process will reach conclusions that may not be in the interest of the business.

the question is how the rational decition making can help the business? and how should we know that the decision that has been made is rational or not?

Data from "Applied Linear Regression" Second Edition by Sanford Weisberg. The scatterplots shown below are based on the Amazon River's high and low water levels (in meters) at Iquitos, Peru, recorded each year from 1962 to 1978, inclusive. Linear models have been fitted to the data.
