More modern devices can distinguish between ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia ( VT ), and may try to pace the heart faster than its intrinsic rate in the case of VT, to try to break the tachycardia before it progresses to ventricular fibrillation.

In addition to using passive solar gain, Passivhaus buildings make extensive use of their intrinsic heat from internal sources — such as waste heat from lighting, white goods ( major appliances ) and other electrical devices ( but not dedicated heaters )— as well as body heat from the people and other animals inside the building.

Thus, the only logical possibilities are to accept non-Euclidean geometry as physically real, or to reject the entire notion of physical tests of the axioms of geometry, which can then be imagined as a formal system without any intrinsic real-world meaning.

Moore argued that once arguments based on the naturalistic fallacy had been discarded, questions of intrinsic goodness could only be settled by appeal to what he ( following Sidgwick ) called " moral intuitions :" self-evident propositions which recommend themselves to moral reflection, but which are not susceptible to either direct proof or disproof ( PE § 45 ).

The molecules being separated ( usually proteins or nucleic acids ) therefore differ not only in molecular mass and intrinsic charge, but also the cross-sectional area, and thus experience different electrophoretic forces dependent on the shape of the overall structure.

Hedonism is a school of thought that argues that pleasure is the only intrinsic good.

The Cyrenaics taught that the only intrinsic good is pleasure, which meant not just the absence of pain, but positively enjoyable sensations.

Hedonism is a school of ethics which argues that pleasure is the only intrinsic good.

Not only has the MAM provided insight into the mechanistic basis underlying such physiological processes as intrinsic apoptosis and the propagation of calcium signaling, but it also favors a more refined view of the mitochondria.

In rational choice theory, these costs are only extrinsic or external to the individual rather than being intrinsic or internal.

He also rejects ideal utilitarianism because “ it is certainly not true as an empirical observation that people ’ s only purpose in life is to have ‘ mental states of intrinsic worth ’.”

An influential result of Kant's search was the idea of a good will as being the only intrinsic good.

He then added that there was not any widespread desire for reform: he indicated a recent survey of working-class voters that showed that only a third of them wanted to reform or abolish the Lords, with another third believing the Lords were an " intrinsic part of the national traditions of Britain ".

For the literary critic Angus Ross, Defoe's point is that money has no intrinsic value and is only valuable insofar as it can be used in trade.

Fish argued in January 2008 on his New York Times-syndicated blog that the humanities are of no instrumental value, but have only intrinsic worth.

Those forces must affect objects depending only on the intrinsic properties of the object and the position of the object, and obey certain other mathematical rules.

In contrast to curves, which do not have intrinsic curvature, but do have extrinsic curvature ( they only have a curvature given an embedding ), surfaces can have intrinsic curvature, independent of an embedding.

Because it is often difficult to observe intrinsic values in real-life markets, bubbles are often conclusively identified only in retrospect, when a sudden drop in prices appears.

And the only answer we will accept, is the immediate and complete Redemption that will forever banish evil from the face of the earth and bring to light the intrinsic goodness and perfection of God's creation.

Consequently, the original signal can be preserved to an accuracy limited only by the intrinsic noise-floor and maximum signal level of the media and the playback equipment, i. e., the dynamic range of the system.

The relation between merit and reward furnishes the intrinsic reason why in the matter of service and its remuneration, the guiding norm can be only the virtue of justice, and not disinterested kindness or pure mercy ; for it would destroy the very notion of reward to conceive of it as a free gift of bounty ( cf.

Congruous merit, owing to its inadequacy and the lack of intrinsic proportion between the service and the recompense, claims a reward only on the ground of equity.

It has little intrinsic sympathomimetic activity ( ISA ) but has strong membrane stabilizing activity ( only at high blood concentrations, e. g. overdosage ).

This is called commodity money and includes any commonly available commodity that has intrinsic value ; historical examples include pigs, rare seashells, whale's teeth, and ( often ) cattle.

The lower limit of the device size is determined by anti-proton handling issues and fission reaction requirements, but the concept appears to be feasible using technology and infrastructure likely to be made available during the second half of the 21st century, unlike either the Project Orion-type propulsion system, which requires large numbers of nuclear explosive charges, or the various anti-matter drives, which require impossibly expensive amounts of antimatter, antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion has technically sweet intrinsic advantages.

Therefore, the mucosal cells are no longer available ; nor is the required intrinsic factor.

Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect the set of people available to an individual for forming an alternate relationship, and thus affect the level of dependence of the individual on his or her current relationship.

Beside the limitation of the amount of available data there are also intrinsic limitations of the used methods, that give uncertainties about the evolutionary development.

Because there is a single, limited cognitive resource, using resources to process the extraneous load reduces the amount of resources available to process the intrinsic load and germane load ( i. e., learning ).

In compiler theory, an intrinsic function is a function available for use in a given language whose implementation is handled specially by the compiler.

While they do not believe suffering holds intrinsic merit-they refuse to enjoy luxury or privilege of station above what is available to the most lowly of those to whom they minister.

An imprecise notion of " exact solvability " as meaning: " The solutions can be expressed explicitly in terms of some previously known functions " is also sometimes used, as though this were an intrinsic property of the system itself, rather than the purely calculational feature that we happen to have some " known " functions available, in terms of which the solutions may be expressed.

This symmetry reflects similar underlying physics: the pair of neutrons and the pair of protons in helium's nucleus obey the same quantum mechanical rules as do helium's pair of electrons ( although the nuclear particles are subject to a different nuclear binding potential ), so that all these fermions fully occupy 1s orbitals in pairs, none of them possessing orbital angular momentum, and each cancelling the other's intrinsic spin.

In magnetic materials, sources of magnetization are the electrons ' orbital angular motion around the nucleus, and the electrons ' intrinsic magnetic moment ( see electron magnetic dipole moment ).

Ordinarily, the enormous number of electrons in a material are arranged such that their magnetic moments ( both orbital and intrinsic ) cancel out.

This is due, to some extent, to electrons combining into pairs with opposite intrinsic magnetic moments as a result of the Pauli exclusion principle ( see electron configuration ), or combining into filled subshells with zero net orbital motion.

In a diamagnetic material, there are no unpaired electrons, so the intrinsic electron magnetic moments cannot produce any bulk effect.

While paired electrons are required by the Pauli exclusion principle to have their intrinsic (' spin ') magnetic moments pointing in opposite directions, causing their magnetic fields to cancel out, an unpaired electron is free to align its magnetic moment in any direction.

However, in addition to the electrons ' intrinsic magnetic moment's tendency to be parallel to an applied field, there is also in these materials a tendency for these magnetic moments to orient parallel to each other to maintain a lowered-energy state.

In an antiferromagnet, unlike a ferromagnet, there is a tendency for the intrinsic magnetic moments of neighboring valence electrons to point in opposite directions.

In an intrinsic semiconductor under thermal equilibrium, the concentration of electrons and holes is equivalent.

where n < sub > 0 </ sub > is the concentration of conducting electrons, p < sub > 0 </ sub > is the electron hole concentration, and n < sub > i </ sub > is the material's intrinsic carrier concentration.

Similarly, the diode will conduct current once the flooded electrons and holes reach an equilibrium point, where the number of electrons is equal to the number of holes in the intrinsic region.

** Daniel Loss and David P. DiVincenzo proposed the Loss-DiVincenzo quantum computer, using as qubits the intrinsic spin-1 / 2 degree of freedom of individual electrons confined to quantum dots.

If an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with n-type impurity then the majority carriers are electrons ; if the semiconductor is doped with p-type impurity then the majority carriers are holes.

Similarly, the magnetic moment of a bar magnet is the sum of the intrinsic and orbital magnetic moments of the unpaired electrons of the magnet's material.

Consequently germanium crystals were doped with lithium ions ( Ge ( Li )), in order to produce an intrinsic region in which the electrons and holes would be able to reach the contacts and produce a signal.

Microstructural effects have also been investigated for polycrystalline samples and it has been found that the magnetoresistance is often dominated by the tunneling of spin polarized electrons between grains, giving rise to an intrinsic grain-size dependence to the magnetoresistance.

This symmetry reflects similar underlying physics: the pair of neutrons and the pair of protons in helium's nucleus obey the same quantum mechanical rules as do helium's pair of electrons ( although the nuclear particles are subject to a different nuclear binding potential ), so that all these fermions fully occupy 1s1s orbitals in pairs, none of them possessing orbital angular momentum, and each canceling the other's intrinsic spin.

Io lacks an intrinsic magnetic field of its own ; therefore, electrons traveling along Jupiter's magnetic field near Io directly impact the satellite's atmosphere.

This overpotential emerges from a combination of analyte diffusion rates and the intrinsic activation barrier of transferring electrons from an electrode to analyte.

The behavior of atoms and smaller particles is well described by the theory of quantum mechanics, in which each particle has an intrinsic angular momentum called spin and specific configurations ( of e. g. electrons in an atom ) are described by a set of quantum numbers.

A similar device can be built with the configuration in which electrons generated from the avalanche multiplication drift through the intrinsic region.
