Scott, who is getting married on Aug 6th, is looking for a good caterer for the reception.  He hires Scottsbluff Fine Foods to cater the event. The written contract calls for enough food and drinks for 100 people to be delivered by no later than 1 pm on Aug 6th to the venue. This allowed several hours of prep time for them before the 4 pm start of the reception. On the morning of Aug 6th, SFF’s kitchen explodes in a horrible gas leak accident. No one from SFF is hurt in the blast. SFF does not attempt to contact Scott about what happened. At 1:30 pm, on Aug 6th, in a panic, Scott runs to KFC and orders enough food for the reception. At 3pm, SFF shows up to the reception and attempts to deliver the food. Scott refuses the delivery. SFF sues Scott for breach of contract. If you were the judge, how would rule you on this case and explain the legal reasoning why?

Low-End Properties, Inc., hires AOK Construction Company to renovate the interior of Low-End’s office building. AOK sub­mits plans that Low-End approves. AOK completes the major recon­struction, paints the interior, and buys the fixtures and furnishings. Low-End rejects some of the furnishings because they do not match the plans, and subsequently refuses to allow AOK to finish the work or to col­lect payment. Could AOK sue successfully for payment for the entire contract? Yes/No and explain your legal reasoning.

Drainage & Irrigation Equipment, Inc., contracts to sell its assets to Earth & Sky Aquatic Corporation. Before either party has performed, rescission of this contract requires

In an XRD experiment, Michelle obtained a (400) diffraction peak for Si(100) crystal at a diffraction angle of

For the detection of X-ray fluorescence using WDS, detection of lower Z atoms generally requires the use of crystals with larger interplanar spacing.

Which of the following material information is generally beyond the capability of small-angle X-ray scattering?

XRD experiments (in the

Which of the following three statements on the advantage(s) of neutron diffraction over X-ray diffraction is/are true? (i) Neutron diffraction has improved sensitivity to low-Z elements such as C and H than X-ray diffraction. (ii) While both X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction can be used to determine the lattice periodicity, neutron diffraction can provide additional information on the ordering of magnetic moments in a magnetic structure. (iii) Neutron diffraction has higher sensitivity to higher angle diffraction peaks than X-ray diffraction.

Which of the following techniques can provide the elemental composition information but not isotope information of a sample?

Consider various electron diffraction methods we have discussed in this course: LEED, RHEED, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in SEM, and selective area diffraction (SAD) in TEM. Which one of the following statements on these electron diffraction methods is incorrect?
