- Electrical Safety Training For Qualified PersonsWed Jan 27, 2021 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Other, WEBEXINTENDED AUDIENCE: Electrical Qualified Employees who work on or near exposed electrically energized parts must receive Electrical Safety Awareness Tr aining for Qualified Persons, provided by UConn EHS. Any worker who, in the course of their job, is exposed to energized parts greater than 50 volts ( e.g., opening electrical disconnect enclosures to test if a circuit is ener gized, performing electrical installations, etc.) is required to receive th is as part of training requirements outlined in the UConn Electrical Safety Policy. Employees required to take this course are also likely to need Loc kout Tagout training. Individuals required to take Electrical Safety Awaren ess Training for Qualified Persons must repeat this training every three ye ars as a requirement of NFPA 70E.For more information about this course , contact Rich Kula (860-486-3190).
- Astronomy SeminarWed Jan 27, 2021 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Storrs Campus, onlineProf. P. Mannheim, Department of Physics, University of ConnecticutIs Dark Matter Fact or Fantasy -- Clues from the DataWe discuss argume nts both in favor of and against dark matter. With the repeated failure of experiment to date to detect dark matter we discuss what could be done inst ead, and to this end look for clues in the data themselves. We identify var ious regularities in galactic rotation curve data that correlate the total gravitational potential with luminous matter rather than dark matter. We id entify a contribution to galactic rotation curves coming from the rest of t he visible universe, and suggest that dark matter is just an attempt to des cribe this global effect in terms of standard local Newtonian gravity withi n galaxies. Thus the missing mass is not missing at all — it has been hid ing in plain sight all along as the rest of the visible mass in the univers e.Webex link: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/meet/cab16109
