Temperature — This article is about the thermodynamic property. For other uses, see Temperature (disambiguation). A map of global long term monthly average surface air temperatures i … Wikipedia
Dynamic voltage scaling — is a power management technique in computer architecture, where the voltage used in a component is increased or decreased, depending upon circumstances. Dynamic voltage scaling to increase voltage is known as overvolting; dynamic voltage scaling… … Wikipedia
Dynamic frequency scaling — For the CPU design principle, see Frequency scaling. Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted on the fly, either to… … Wikipedia
Plasma scaling — The parameters of plasmas, including their spatial and temporal extent, vary by many orders of magnitude. Nevertheless, there are significant similarities in the behaviors of apparently disparate plasmas. It is not only of theoretical interest to … Wikipedia
Widom scaling — is a hypothesis in Statistical mechanics regarding the free energy of a magnetic system near its critical point which leads to the critical exponents becoming no longer independent so that they can be parameterized in terms of two values.Widom… … Wikipedia
Body size scaling — relationships are relationships between a physiological quantity (such as the respiration rate, or the maximum reproduction rate) of organisms and their body size (frequently taken to be body weight). Empirical descriptions of such relationships… … Wikipedia

Ising model — The Ising model, named after the physicist Ernst Ising, is a mathematical model in statistical mechanics. It has since been used to model diverse phenomena in which bits of information, interacting in pairs, produce collectiveeffects.Definition… … Wikipedia
Metabolic theory of ecology — The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) is an extension of Kleiber s law and posits that the metabolic rate of organisms is the fundamental biological rate that governs most observed patterns in ecology.[1] MTE is based on an interpretation of the… … Wikipedia
Critical exponent — Critical exponents describe the behaviour of physical quantities near continuous phase transitions. It is believed, though not proven, that they are universal, i.e. they do not depend on the details of the physical system, but only on the… … Wikipedia
Fouling — This article is about fouling in engineering. For uses of the term foul outside technology, see Foul (disambiguation). Not to be confused with fowling. Heat exchanger in a steam power plant, fouled by macro fouling … Wikipedia
