The achievement could be revolutionary, enabling creation
of a closed system in which carbon dioxide emitted by combustion was transformed back into fuel instead of adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
In any case, for someone to claim that an energy exchange violates the second law of thermodynamics they need to show there is a reduction in
entropy of a closed system.
to reject... the ideology
of a closed system of values in the name of creative anarchy is simply to substitute one ideology for another — the ideology of private virtue, the absolutization of one's own personal goals.
Avoiding the loss of oxygen tied up in lithium peroxide could enable the
development of a closed system lithium - air battery, which would make the units safer and more efficient,
In a blog post titled, «Google + is the social backbone,» Dumbill described the new project as the first major step toward integrating all social applications, much like e-mail went from a
number of closed systems to incorporating one online communication standard as a foundation.
You can randomly shake up a closed system and create a new instance of the environment, within the confines of the
law of the closed system, but you can not create a new system that goes beyond the limit of the initial and boundary conditions.
Viewing life energy from an open systems view frees us from the Freudian
pessimism of closed system models and allows us to participate as parts of evolving open systems creating meaningful contextual transformations.
Gödel's critique of the continuum hypothesis has the same implication as his incompleteness theorems: Mathematics never will create the
sort of closed system that sorts reality into neat boxes.
The laws of thermodynamics do not apply, especially the second which speaks — quite specifically I might add —
only of CLOSED systems, of which the Earth is NOT.
The law of conservation of mass / matter decrees «that the
mass of a closed system of substances will remain constant, regardless of the processes acting inside the system.»
«You need to have some
type of closed system to be sure that the different reactants of the metabolism, or different mechanisms, can interact with each other and also have a kind of Darwinian evolution.
For cell therapy, automation can be used to increase the scale of cell culture operations (e.g., bioreactors replacing flasks) and allow the
use of closed systems that can protect cell products from contamination with adventitious agents from the environment or operators themselves.
His own planet was stupid enough to exhaust its resources so he'll just rob trillions of other planets of theirs in the hopes that entropy, a natural
property of all closed systems, will just cease.
However, I've come to see it as something much bigger — the cracking
open of closed systems into the sustaining and development of an open system.
It has the greatest potential for growth, and it's support of the open ePub format means that readers and publishers don't have to live with the sudden
whims of the closed system hardware providers.
Considering to buy my first e-reader and this seems to be an important point to me (and just Paperwhite and Kobo seem to be state - of art - ish regarding the e-Ink display, while the Paperwhite lacks in international avaiability and is
kind of a closed system).
Presenters and discussants will engage in debate and discussion on the history and
future of closed systems in architecture and design.
The Clausius — Clapeyron relation characterizes
behavior of a closed system during a phase change, during which temperature and pressure are constant by definition.
The only thing that matters in science is predictive capacity: how well can a theory predict the
evolution of a closed system based on initial conditions, or the closest you can get to that in real life with caveats made based on holes in the system or model.
The second law does state that the total
entropy of a closed system can't decrease, but it does allow parts of a system to become more orderly as long as other parts becomes less so.
At the same time this event shows that we need more research to be conducted on the
development of closed systems in respect of technical developments, optimised production and better fish health,» says Handeland.
The confusion arises when the 2nd law is phrased in another equivalent way, «The entropy
of a closed system can not decrease.»
The catch is that the cyclic universe runs into the second law of thermodynamics, which says the entropy, or disorder,
of a closed system will inevitably increase over time.
It declares that the entropy, or disorder,
of a closed system can not decrease over time.
The notion of a Boltzmann brain is built on 19th - century physicist Ludwig Boltzmann's idea that the entropy
of a closed system — a measure of its disorder — always increases.
