TASK DEFINITION: In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: An anharmonic oscillator exploiting this effect as a microelectromechanical system component was proposed by Serry, Walliser, and Maclay. Julian Schwinger has postulated that sonoluminescence arises due to this effect, and this effect requires that bag radius and mass are independent under a combination of the Skyrmion and MIT models, the chiral bag model of the nucleon. One setup for measuring it attached a polystyrene sphere to an atomic force microscope, and Lamoreaux used a torsional pendulum to achieve the first precise measurements of this effect. This force may produce pressures as large as an atmosphere at a separation of ten nanometers. For 10 points, name this effect arising from zero-point energy, described by the attraction or repulsion due to virtual photons between two close uncharged metallic sheets in a vacuum.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: This reaction is combined with an aldol condensation to produce cyclohexenones in a process named for Robinson, and a variation of this uses silyl ethers and titanium tetrachloride, in a reaction named also for Mukaiyama. In a process analogous to this reaction, performed with simple ketones, the equilbrium is shifted towards the reagents, unlike in the Claisen and aldol condensations, necessitating the use of an enolate in conjugate addition to produce the 1,4-addition. For 10 points, what is this reaction named for an American chemist, which consists of the addition of a carbanion to an alpha, beta unsaturated carbonyl

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: Some of the figures in this painting are seemingly superfluous:  Mercury stands at the far left, dispelling clouds from above trees laden with golden fruit. A Cupid on the wing aims his little bow, but is probably only there by grace of his mother Venus, above whom he hovers. The action takes place on the right. The West Wind, Zephyrus, pursues a virginal Chloris whom he will rape. Chloris is then shown transformed, bedecked with flowers, as the title character. For 10 points, name this Botticelli allegorical work.
