In the past 60 years, MIT's educational disciplines have expanded beyond the physical sciences and engineering into fields such as biology, economics, linguistics, political science, and management.

MNT would involve combining physical principles demonstrated by chemistry, other nanotechnologies, and the molecular machinery of life with the systems engineering principles found in modern macroscale factories.

The phrase is commonly used in engineering for physical processes that involve diffusive and convective transport of chemical species within physical systems.

Gone are the days when, in the nineteenth century, scientists thought that they were close to the attainment of complete knowledge of the physical universe.

) On the other hand, even when the binomial model does not describe well the physical phenomenon being studied, the binomial model may still be used as a baseline for comparative purposes ; ;

It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material's physical or mechanical properties ( absorbance, refractive index, conductivity, tensile strength, etc.

The shame and guilt this method induced, he believed, was far superior to the fear instilled by corporal punishment ; when he used physical " correction " he required that the students be unanimously in support of its application, even including the student to be punished.

Pentecostals believe that physical healing is within the anointing and so there is often great expectation or at least great hope that a miraculous cure or improvement will occur when someone is being prayed over for healing.

Furthermore, each of the created entities is converted into separate physical tables when the database is implemented ( Kimball, Ralph 2008 ).

One reason for the popularity of the dissociation constant in biochemistry and pharmacology is that in the frequently encountered case where x = y = 1, K < sub > d </ sub > has a simple physical interpretation: when = K < sub > d </ sub >, = or equivalently /(+)= 1 / 2.

Conversely, when a hardware device needs to respond to the OS, it uses the physical layer to speak to the logical layer.

Electric charge is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter.

Decay theory states that when something new is learned, a neurochemical, physical " memory trace " is formed in the brain and over time this trace tends to disintegrate, unless it is occasionally used. Decay theory states the reason we eventually forget something or an event is because the memory of it fades with time.
