The BCS theory, however, requires only that the potential be attractive, regardless of its origin.

More realistic models are tailored to a specific problem and include the transition state theory, the calculation of the potential energy surface, the Marcus theory and the Rice – Ramsperger – Kassel – Marcus ( RRKM ) theory.

In theory, the plan should anticipate and compensate for potential problems in the execution process.

Either there are some basic beliefs that we can be justified for holding, without being able to justify them on the basis of any other belief, or else for each justified belief there is an infinite regress of ( potential ) justification nebula theory.

Notable developments in this century include the work of Georg Ohm, who in 1827 quantified the relationship between the electric current and potential difference in a conductor, Michael Faraday, the discoverer of electromagnetic induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell, who in 1873 published a unified theory of electricity and magnetism in his treatise Electricity and Magnetism.

Ohm's law is a basic law of circuit theory, stating that the current passing through a resistance is directly proportional to the potential difference across it.

Based on Gibbs ' work, Nernst extended the theory to include the contribution from electric potential on charged species.

In the context of e-learning, a major discussion in instructional theory is the potential of learning objects to structure and deliver content.

Thus, according to Keynesian theory, some individually-rational microeconomic-level actions such as not investing savings in the goods and services produced by the economy, if taken collectively by a large proportion of individuals and firms, can lead to outcomes, wherein the economy operates below its potential output and growth rate.

This statistical theory, proposed by Alfred Saupe and Wilhelm Maier, includes contributions from an attractive intermolecular potential from an induced dipole moment between adjacent liquid crystal molecules.

The image to the right shows the streamlines over a NACA 0012 airfoil computed using potential flow theory and applying the Kutta condition as a boundary condition.

Lift can be calculated using potential flow theory by imposing a circulation.

But Halliday ’ s conception of grammar – or ‘ lexicogrammar ’ ( a term he coined to argue that lexis and grammar are part of the same phenomenon ) – is based on a more general theory of language as a social semiotic resource, or a ‘ meaning potential ’ ( see systemic functional linguistics ).

In the important method known as perturbation theory, one uses the analytic result for a simple quantum mechanical model to generate a result for a more complicated model that is related to the simpler model by ( for one example ) the addition of a weak potential energy.

Despite the nomenclature, the " field " under study is the gravitational potential, φ, rather than the gravitational field, g. Similarly, when classical field theory is used to study electromagnetism, the " field " of interest is the electromagnetic four-potential ( V / c, A ), rather than the electric and magnetic fields E and B.

The meaning of the probabilities assigned to the potential values of a random variable is not part of probability theory itself, but instead related to philosophical arguments over the interpretation of probability.

According to Stephen Metcalf, Nozick expresses serious misgivings about capitalist libertarianism, going so far as to reject much of the foundations of the theory on the grounds that personal freedom can sometimes only be fully actualized via a collectivist politics and that wealth is at times justly redistributed via taxation to protect the freedom of the many from the potential tyranny of an overly selfish and powerful few.

Verne probably got the idea directly and immediately from Maxwell's 1864 theory ( although it cannot be ruled out that Maxwell or an intermediary recognized the sailing potential and became the source for Verne ).

Another common theory posits that the Norse population had outgrown the agricultural potential of their Scandinavian homeland.

In the resulting representation, also called the de Broglie – Bohm theory or Bohmian mechanics ,, the wave – particle duality is not a property of matter itself, but an appearance generated by the particle's motion subject to a guiding equation or quantum potential.

The pilot wave model, originally developed by Louis de Broglie and further developed by David Bohm into the hidden variable theory proposes that there is no duality, but rather a system exhibits both particle properties and wave properties simultaneously, and particles are guided, in a deterministic fashion, by the pilot wave ( or its " quantum potential ") which will direct them to areas of constructive interference in preference to areas of destructive interference.

All of the elements heavier than iron have some potential energy to release, in theory.

The general theory of solutions to Laplace's equation is known as potential theory.

Connes has applied his work in areas of mathematics and theoretical physics, including number theory, differential geometry and particle physics.

Hundreds of other organizations exist in the various sub-fields of anthropology, sometimes divided up by nation or region, and many anthropologists work with collaborators in other disciplines, such as geology, physics, zoology, paleontology, anatomy, music theory, art history, sociology and so on, belonging to professional societies in those disciplines as well.

French physicist Jean Perrin used Einstein's work to experimentally determine the mass and dimensions of atoms, thereby conclusively verifying Dalton's atomic theory.

" Karpov acknowledged that his understanding of chess theory was very confused at that time, and wrote later that the homework which Botvinnik assigned greatly helped him, since it required that he consult chess books and work diligently.

Also, as we now know, bosons also have antiparticles, but since bosons do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle ( only fermions do ), hole theory does not work for them.

Supporting literature includes: the work of social impact theory, which discusses persuasion in part through the number of persons engaging in influence ; as well as studies made on the relative influence of communicator credibility in different kinds of persuasion ; and examinations of the trustworthiness of the speaker.

He is especially known for his foundational work in number theory and algebraic geometry.

His work on sheaf theory hardly appears in his published papers, but correspondence with Henri Cartan in the late 1940s, and reprinted in his collected papers, proved most influential.

Atle Selberg ( 14 June 1917 – 6 August 2007 ) was a Norwegian mathematician known for his work in analytic number theory, and in the theory of automorphic forms, in particular bringing them into relation with spectral theory.

Within algebraic geometry itself, his theory of schemes has become the universally accepted language for all further technical work.

Alexander Grothendieck's work during the ` Golden Age ' period at IHÉS established several unifying themes in algebraic geometry, number theory, topology, category theory and complex analysis.

Although Grothendieck himself never published his work in this area, the proposal became the inspiration for work by other mathematicians and the source of the theory of dessins d ' enfants.

Much of this work anticipated the subsequent development of the motivic homotopy theory of Fabien Morel and V. Voevodsky in the mid 1990s.

From about 1955 he started to work on sheaf theory and homological algebra, producing the influential " Tôhoku paper " ( Sur quelques points d ' algèbre homologique, published in 1957 ) where he introduced Abelian categories and applied their theory to show that sheaf cohomology can be defined as certain derived functors in this context.

Rasa theory blossoms beginning with the Sanskrit text Nātyashāstra ( nātya meaning " drama " and shāstra meaning " science of "), a work attributed to Bharata Muni where the Gods declare that drama is the ' Fifth Veda ' because it is suitable for the degenerate age as the best form of religious instruction.

The Arrhenius definition of acid – base reactions is a development of the hydrogen theory of acids, devised by Svante Arrhenius, which was used to provide a modern definition of acids and bases that followed from his work with Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald in establishing the presence of ions in aqueous solution in 1884, and led to Arrhenius receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903 for " recognition of the extraordinary services ... rendered to the advancement of chemistry by his electrolytic theory of dissociation ".

This is philosophically unsatisfying to some and has motivated additional work in set theory and other methods of formalizing the foundations of mathematics such as New Foundations by Willard Van Orman Quine.

John Miles Foley held, specifically with reference to the Beowulf debate, that while comparative work was both necessary and valid, it must be conducted with a view to the particularities of a given tradition ; Foley argued with a view to developments of oral traditional theory that do not assume, or depend upon, finally unverifiable assumptions about composition, and that discard the oral / literate dichotomy focused on composition in favor of a more fluid continuum of traditionality and textuality.

Much of the current work in cosmology includes understanding how galaxies form in the context of the Big Bang, understanding the physics of the Universe at earlier and earlier times, and reconciling observations with the basic theory.
