Sentences with phrase «single equilibrium state»

Not exact matches

Manipulation of either FGF signalling or Nanog expression levels can alter the ratio of cell types present in this state and single Venus positive or negative cells can regenerate this equilibrium with apparently identical kinetics under self - renewing conditions.

Such states may have prevailed in the distant past, but there is nothing about the current Holocene climate to suggest that more than a single equilibrium is within range — we are not close to a new glaciation nor a new «hothouse climate» (although the latter might become possible if continued greenhouse gas emissions were to remain unmitigated for a prolonged interval).

This is a pretty serious picking of nits — thermo textbooks regularly state that there is «no heat flow» between reservoirs in thermal equilibrium because there is no net macroscopic flow of heat between the two reservoirs, for the simple reason that thermodynamics averages over molecular (or in the case of radiation, single photon) scale local fluctuations.
