Mahamad Siddiqui sent false emails and letters of recommendation on behalf of individuals without their permission to nominate himself for the Waterman Award at the National Science Foundation. His earlier emails were offered where he had solicited letters were offered as evidence. Siddiqui claimed that content of earlier emails was hearsay. Do the earlier emails come in is given below

Explanation:

1.Mohamed Siddiqui appeals his convictions for fraud and false statements to a federal agency, and obstruction in connection with a federal investigation.   Siddiqui challenges the district court's admission into evidence of e-mail and foreign depositions.

2.On February 18, 1997, Jodi Saltzman, a special agent with the NSF interviewed Siddiqui at Siddiqui's office at the University of South Alabama.   During the interview, Siddiqui signed a statement admitting that he had nominated himself for the Waterman Award, but that he had permission from Yamada and von Gunten to submit forms on their behalf.   Siddiqui also acknowledged in the statement that Westrick had recommended Siddiqui for a different award, the PECASE Award, but that Siddiqui had changed the wording of the letter to apply to the Waterman Award.   Siddiqui was indicted on April 29, 1997.

3.Siddiqui opposed the taking of the depositions on the grounds that the witnesses' personal presence at trial was necessary, and that Indian travel restrictions for its citizens residing abroad prevented him from traveling to Japan and Switzerland.   Specifically, Siddiqui asserted that because of religious persecution in India his travel to Japan or Switzerland related to the criminal action would put his family members still living in India at risk.   The magistrate judge ruled that the government had carried its burden of showing that Yamada and von Gunten would be unavailable to appear at trial, and instructed that Siddiqui's fear of obtaining a travel visa from India because of the threat of persecution of family members should not preclude the taking of the foreign depositions.

4.Yamada's deposition was taken in Japan on March 6, 1998.   At government expense, Siddiqui's counsel attended the deposition and cross-examined the witness, but was not in telephonic contact with Siddiqui during the deposition.   Yamada testified that on February 1, 1997, she received an e-mail stating that if she received a phone call from the NSF to “please tell good words about me.”   Yamada testified that she knew the e-mail was from Siddiqui because the name on the e-mail had Siddiqui's sender address, and it ended with the name “Mo” which Siddiqui had previously told her was his nickname, and which he had used in previous e-mail.

5.Yamada later admitted to Saltzman that she had not given Siddiqui permission to sign, but had made the earlier representation because she thought Siddiqui would go to jail.

6.During cross-examination of Yamada at the deposition, Siddiqui's counsel introduced an e-mail from Yamada to Siddiqui.   This e-mail contained the same e-mail address for Siddiqui as the e-mail received by Yamada and von Gunten apparently from Siddiqui.

7.Von Gunten's video deposition was taken in Switzerland.   At government expense, Siddiqui's counsel attended the deposition and cross-examined von Gunten.   During the deposition, Siddiqui was in communication with his counsel by telephone.   Von Gunten testified at the deposition that he had not submitted a letter of recommendation in favor of Siddiqui for the Waterman Award, and that he had not given Siddiqui permission to submit such a letter in his name.

A consolidation test was performed on a sample of fine-grained soil sample taken from a depth such that the vertical effective s
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

C_c is the Compression index

e_o is the inital void ratio

\bar{\sigma_o} is the initial effective stress at the depth

\Delta \bar{\sigma_o} is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04

A plate clutch has a single friction surface 9-in OD by 7-in ID. The coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the maximum pressure is
Talja [164]

Answer:

the torque capacity is  30316.369 lb-in

Explanation:

Given data

OD = 9 in

ID = 7 in

coefficient of friction = 0.2

maximum pressure = 1.5 in-kip = 1500 lb

To find out

the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure assumption.

Solution

We know the the torque formula for uniform pressure theory is

torque = 2/3 × \pi × coefficient of friction × maximum pressure ( R³ - r³ )    .....................................1

here R = OD/2 = 4.5 in and r = ID/2 = 3.5 in

now put all these value R, r, coefficient of friction and  maximum pressure in equation 1 and we will get here torque

torque = 2/3 × \pi × 0.2 × 1500 ( 4.5³ - 3.5³ )

so the torque =  30316.369 lb-in

5. One of the major road blocks for direct DC power in residences is the ___. A) generation of DC B) lack of standardization C)
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

D) quantity of components required for this type of system

Explanation:

Electricity can be transmitted using the alternating and direct currents. The alternating current is one in which the flow of the current diverts at certain time intervals whereas, the direct current is one in which there is a constant one-directional flow of current. The DC is used in batteries and solar panels. Residential areas and business places make use of the AC current.

One of the several reasons why the DC is not used in homes is because unlike the AC it is not easy to build and sustain. Moreso, it has more components compared to the AC. For example, its motor consists of brushes and commutators . The components, example, switches are also large compared to the AC components.
