114Optical tweezers — (originally called single beam gradient force trap ) are scientific instruments that use a highly focused laser beam to provide an attractive or repulsive force (typically on the order of piconewtons), depending on the refractive index mismatch… …
115Thermodynamic system — A thermodynamic system is a precisely defined macroscopic region of the universe, often called a physical system, that is studied using the principles of thermodynamics. All space in the universe outside the thermodynamic system is known as the… …

117Reversibility — can refer to:* Reversible dynamics, a mathematical dynamical system, or physical laws of motion, for which time reversed dynamics are well defined:* Reversible diffusion, an example of a reversible stochastic process * Time reversibility *… …
118Metastability in the brain — In the field of computational neuroscience, the theory of metastability refers to the human brain’s ability to integrate several functional parts and to produce neural oscillations in a cooperative and coordinated manner, providing the basis for… …
119Partially observable Markov decision process — A Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) is a generalization of a Markov Decision Process. A POMDP models an agent decision process in which it is assumed that the system dynamics are determined by an MDP, but the agent cannot… …
120Supply chain optimization — is the application of processes and tools to ensure the optimal operation of a manufacturing and distribution supply chain. This includes the optimal placement of inventory within the supply chain, minimizing operating costs (including… …
