Reference excerpt

Inés Ramona Triay (born January 30, 1958) is the executive director of the Applied Research Center (ARC) and the interim Dean at the College of Engineering at Florida International University (FIU). Triay was appointed by President Obama as the 7th DOE Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management and sworn into office in May 2009. She played leading role at the Office of Environment Management (EM), which is charged with the safe and complete cleanup of the environmental legacy brought about from five decades of nuclear weapons development and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. Born in Havana, Triay studied chemistry at the University of Miami from 1976 to 1985. She earned a B.S. degree in 1980 and then completed her Ph.D. degree in 1985. Triay, widely considered an advocate of a strong Hanford environmental cleanup program and a friend to the Tri-Cities, has served as assistant secretary of environmental management for 2+1⁄2 years. Triay was responsible for kick-starting the plan for some land at Hanford and other DOE sites to be turned into clean energy parks as environmental cleanup is completed. She stepped down from this position in 2011 because of her father's poor health; however, she continues work with DOE. It was noted by The Washington Post in June 2017, Obama's nominee, Ines Triay, had been confirmed by the Senate when Obama had moved to fill Energy Department post in his respective administrations where as Trump has filled just 15 percent of the government's top science jobs. On March 29, 2018, Anne Marie White was sworn as Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management at the U.S. Department of Energy. In June 2019, William "Ike" White joined as an acting assistant secretary for the Office of Environmental Management

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ines R. Triay

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ines R. Triay claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ines R. Triay before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ines R. Triay ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ines R. Triay

In research: Ines R. Triay appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ines R. Triay in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ines R. Triay is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1958 births, 21st-century American women, American people of Cuban descent, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ines R. Triay outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
