51Birch–Murnaghan equation of state — In continuum mechanics, an equation of state suitable for modeling solids is naturally rather different from the ideal gas law. A solid has a certain equilibrium volume V0, and the energy increases quadratically as volume is increased or… …
52Methodology Center (Penn State) — The Methodology Center is a research center in the College of Health and Human Development at the University Park campus of Penn State University. The Methodology Center develops methods for use by prevention and treatment scientists in research… …
53Abstract state machines — In computer science, an abstract state machine (ASM) is a state machine in which the number of states need not be finite and in which the states are not mere points in the state space. More precisely, an ASM state is a structure in the sense of… …
54Critical state soil mechanics — Normally consolidated soil goes to critical state along the stress path on Roscoe surface Critical State Soil Mechanics is the area of Soil Mechanics that encompasses the conceptual models that represent the mechanical behavior of saturated… …
55Full state feedback — (FSF), or pole placement, is a method employed in feedback control system theory to place the closed loop poles of a plant in pre determined locations in the s plane. Placing poles is desirable because the location of the poles corresponds… …
56Hartle–Hawking state — The Hartle Hawking state is a proposal concerning the state of the universe prior to the Planck epoch. Hartle Hawking is essentially a no boundary proposal that the universe is infinitely finite: that there was no time before the Big Bang because …
57Channel-state duality — In quantum information theory, the channel state duality refers to the correspondence between quantum channels and quantum states (described by density matrices). Phrased differently, the duality is the isomorphism between completely positive… …
58Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model — The Penn State Integrated Hydrologic Model (PIHM) is a fully coupled multiprocess hydrologic model. Instead of coupling through artificial boundary conditions, major hydrological processes are fully coupled by the semi discrete finite volume… …
59In a state of nature — Nature Na ture (?; 135), n. [F., fr. L. natura, fr. natus born, produced, p. p. of nasci to be born. See {Nation}.] 1. The existing system of things; the universe of matter, energy, time and space; the physical world; all of creation. Contrasted… …
