Toss-Up Questions
1. In one section of this work, a dog is nearly beaten to death after it makes the
mistake of attacking a cat which had been granted the headdress of nobility. In
another section, a comical chamberlain leaves his shoes on a serving-board, which
causes much indignation. The earliest extant version of this work is known as the
Maedabon and dates from the 13th century, and is known as one of the bunruiteki
versions, in contrast to the zassanteki versions such as the Sankanbon. It is comprised of
a number of short sections with such titles as “things that give a clean feeling” and
“things worth seeing.” FTP, name this work probably written around the year 1000 AD
by Sei Shonagon.
ANSWER: The Pillow Book or Makura no soshi
2. Its early sections deal with the theft of pigs, goats, and bees, before it considers
such vexed topics as a “man who touches the hand or arm or finger of a free
woman” and “skinning a dead horse without the consent of its owner.” It was
decided upon by four men from such regions as Salchem and Widoheim, among
whom were Salcgast and Wisogast. It mostly consists of penalties attached to a
variety of crimes, though one of its provisions in civil law later proved influential. It was
written in the first decade of the 6th century AD, under the reign of Clovis, and more than
800 years later it helped bring about the Hundred Years’ War. FTP, name this legal code
of the Franks, which contains a notorious chapter forbidding daughters from inheriting
land.

3. In a mean-field treatment with isotropic turbulence, the evolution of this type of
system is characterized by a pseudoscalar linearly related to the helicity spectrum.
They are termed “fast” if the real part of the eigenfrequency does not decrease in the
limit of zero resistivity. The pseudoscalar alpha is the namesake of an effect in these
systems which can produce a poloidal field in the presence of a toroidal field. Galactic
and stellar magnetic fields are thought to be produced by this type of system operating in
rotating bodies of conducting fluid. FTP, name these systems which can self-excite
magnetic fields.

a tower on a cliff and playing a fiddle. Another of his paintings shows a young man
wearing a hat with an enormous pink feather dangling down toward the skull held in

6. Book Two of this work deals with “causes and conditions” on which the title
concept is dependent and begins by considering the “progress” of that concept along
with that of happiness. This book’s first chapter begins by discussing the meaning
of the word “function” and notes that the function of the title concept is not to
produce civilization, while later chapters consider the “organic solidarity” that is due to
the title concept. The third part deals with “abnormal forms” of the title concept, such as
the “forced” and “anomic” varieties. FTP, name this book published in 1893, a study of
the organization of superior societies which was written by Emile Durkheim.

warship Lexington in 1831. The territory in question was also the site of a victory
for Doveton Sturdee over the victor of the earlier Battle of Coronel. One side was
led by a man who had overseen the late phases of the Process of National
Reorganization. That side suffered approximately half of its total casualties with the

triphenylphosphine and the production of an iminophosphorane intermediate, known as
the Staudinger reaction. Reactions named for Curtius and Schmidt feature this functional
group rearranging to an isocyanate group. Lithium aluminum hydride reacts with it to
produce primary amines via reduction. Consisting of three atoms of the same element
double bonded to each other and with a net minus-one charge, FTP identify this
functional group that when heated releases nitrogen gas.

separate from the body.” This work was produced in response to the papal bull Summis
Desiderantes, which had been promulgated by Innocent VIII. It was written by a dean of

the “thunder and the sunshine,” and hopes that they will assist him in performing a
task “not unbecoming” to “men that strove with Gods.” Earlier images in the poem
include the “rainy Hyades,” which are said to have “vext the dim sea” through “scudding
