Not exact matches

The researchers found that even with the molecular motors driving the system out of equilibrium, the defects were still able to sense the curvature, with the +1 / 2 defects migrating towards the region of positive curvature and the -1 / 2 defects migrating towards the region of negative curvature.

The team took the system, forced it out - of - equilibrium using a driving force, and subsequently switched the force off to measure the vibrational amplitude as the energy of the system decayed.

In case of a car jack, it could be enough for a big vehicle to drive close to your car and blow it out of the equilibrium with the wind it creates.

[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)

Pierre - Normand,» I doubt it would have any relevance to the powerful radiative and convective effects that drive the (very far out of thermodynamical equilibrium) density and temperature profiles.»
