hockey stick graph - 2023 BHSU

Question

Proxy data from ice cores and tree rings was used to obtain this result, which was labeled as “Figure 3” in the paper where it initially appeared. For 10 points each:

[10m] Give this term coined by Jerry Mahlman to describe a plot of the alarming results of Mann, Bradley, and Hughes's 1999 reconstruction model of the entire Northern Hemisphere from AD 1000 to AD 1998.

ANSWER: hockey stick graph [accept reasonable synonyms for graph like “plot” or “curve” or “diagram”]

[10h] Hockey-stick shaped hyperintensities on FLAIR imaging of the bilateral pulvinar nuclei may appear in this specific disease. This disease can present with florid plaques in addition to the vacuolization of gray matter also seen in a more common “sporadic” disease.

ANSWER: variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [or vCJD; prompt on Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy or TSE; prompt on mad cow disease by asking “what disease does that cause in humans?”]

[10e] The hockey-stick identity relates values on two diagonals of this construct, which plots the binomial coefficients in a simple shape.

ANSWER: Pascal's triangle
