What is Disc: Definition and 396 Discussions

DISC is a behaviour self-assessment tool originally based on the 1928 DISC emotional and behavioural theory of psychologist William Moulton Marston, which centred on four personality traits: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. This theory was then developed into a behavioural assessment tool by industrial psychologist Walter Vernon Clarke. Personality expert and researcher, Merrick Rosenberg, notably innovated on the contemporary application of the DISC model as it applies to team development, interpersonal relationships, and American presidential campaigns. DISC has not been scientifically evaluated.

    Electromagnetic Induction in a disc

    Homework Statement Please see the attached file.Homework Equations $$\frac{dΦ}{dt} = ε$$The Attempt at a Solution The only way I see is to apply some conservation of energy. But I don't know how. The potential energy is being converted to rotational energy. But how do I find the potential energy?

    Calculating the Solid Angle Subtended by a Disc: How to Find ω?

    The problem is to find out the solid angle ω subtended by a disc of radius a at a point P distant z from its centre along its axis. α is the semi-vertical angle of the disc at the point P in question. The answer is supposed to be ω = 2π (1 - cos α), according to an online text. However, I find...
