seismograph A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. Generally, it consists of a mass attached to a fixed base. During an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not. The motion of the base with respect to the mass is commonly transformed into an electrical voltage. The electrical voltage is recorded on paper, magnetic tape, or another recording medium.
Regents Scholarship Program The Regents of the University of California established the prestigious Regents Scholarship Award in 1962 to recognize incoming undergraduates of outstanding academic achievement and promise. At UCSB, the award is coordinated by the Office of Admissions.
A UC chancellor is comparable to the president at other state universitiesâshe is the school's public face in institutional initiatives, legislative battles, and fundraising. Yet the UC Regents' online archive does not maintain a historical record of the salaries of UC Davis' six chancellors since 1958, and the university library's genial archivist was also stumped by the question.
