The process of erosion need only undermine the tradition and a series of consequences begin unfolding within the individual, while in institutions a quiet but deep transformation of processes occurs.

Adiabatic processes can occur if the container of the system has thermally-insulated walls or the process happens in an extremely short time, so that there is no opportunity for significant heat exchange.

Note that this expression is not well-defined for all time series or processes, because the variance may be zero ( for a constant process ) or infinite.

Caustic potash was traditionally used in conjunction with animal fats to produce soft soaps, one of the caustic processes that rendered soaps from fats in the process of saponification, known since antiquity.

Abstracting again, a category is itself a type of mathematical structure, so we can look for " processes " which preserve this structure in some sense ; such a process is called a functor.

Briefly, if we consider a morphism between two objects as a " process taking us from one object to another ", then higher-dimensional categories allow us to profitably generalize this by considering " higher-dimensional processes ".

Most carbonylation processes require metal catalysts, examples include the Monsanto acetic acid process and hydroformylation.

Within chemical engineering, two broad subgroups include 1 ) design, manufacture, and operation of plants and machinery in industrial chemical and related processes (" chemical process engineers "); and 2 ) development of new or adapted substances for products ranging from foods and beverages to cosmetics to cleaners to pharmaceutical ingredients, among many other products (" chemical product engineers ").

These processes differ in the means by which chemical reactions are initiated ( e. g., activation process ) and process conditions.

The actual chemical process for diamond growth is still under study and is complicated by the very wide variety of diamond growth processes used.

To prevent other processes from being starved of CPU time, preemptive schedulers often configure a timer interrupt to fire when a process exceeds its time slice.

In order to switch processes, the PCB for the first process must be created and saved.

Process and thread priority can influence which process continues execution, with processes of the highest priority checked first for ready threads to execute.

Humphrey's approach differed because of his unique insight that organizations mature their processes in stages based on solving process problems in a specific order.

The Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ) project was formed to sort out the problem of using multiple models for software development processes, thus the CMMI model has superseded the CMM model, though the CMM model continues to be a general theoretical process capability model used in the public domain.

Though it comes from the area of software development, it can be, has been, and continues to be widely applied as a general model of the maturity of process ( e. g., IT service management processes ) in IS / IT ( and other ) organizations.

* Maturity Levels: a 5-level process maturity continuum-where the uppermost ( 5th ) level is a notional ideal state where processes would be systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continuous process improvement.

These standard processes are in place ( i. e., they are the AS-IS processes ) and used to establish consistency of process performance across the organization.

; Level 4-Managed: It is characteristic of processes at this level that, using process metrics, management can effectively control the AS-IS process ( e. g., for software development ).

; Level 5-Optimizing: It is a characteristic of processes at this level that the focus is on continually improving process performance through both incremental and innovative technological changes / improvements.

The developmental process involves the individual's progressively experiencing a sense of dignity and achievement resulting from having completed tasks, having kept commitments, and having created something ( however small or simple -- even a doll dress of one's own design rather than in the design `` it ought to be '' ).

Such efforts almost always find themselves compelled to ask whether Adam was created capable of growing old and then older and then still older, in short, whether Adam's life was intended to be part of the process of time.

Proceduralists often suggest that it is the process by which a work of art is created or viewed that makes it art, not any inherent feature of an object, or how well received it is by the institutions of the art world after its introduction to society at large.

Promotional drawings were created and published in Variety during the casting process before the budget was deemed too little for the plot.

As a partial check that the posting process was done correctly, a working document called an unadjusted trial balance is created.

Software is usually designed and created ( coded / written / programmed ) in integrated development environments ( IDE ) like Eclipse, Emacs and Microsoft Visual Studio that can simplify the process and compile the program.

Calcium-40 is created in extremely large and hot ( over 2. 5 × 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > K ) stars, as part of the silicon-burning process in which alpha particles are added to silicon atoms.

The Broadcasting Act 1980 began the process of adding a fourth, and Channel 4, along with its Welsh counterpart, was formally created by an Act of Parliament in 1982.

The term clone is derived from the Ancient Greek word κλών ( klōn, “ twig ”), referring to the process whereby a new plant can be created from a twig.

The process may extends to huge sparks — streamers in lightning discharges propagate by formation of electron avalanches created in the high potential gradient ahead of the streamers ' advancing tips.

A protein is created by ribosomes that " read " RNA that is encoded by codons in the gene and assemble the requisite amino acid combination from the genetic instruction, in a process known as translation.

Flat glass for windows and similar applications is formed by the float glass process, developed between 1953 and 1957 by Sir Alastair Pilkington and Kenneth Bickerstaff of the UK's Pilkington Brothers, who created a continuous ribbon of glass using a molten tin bath on which the molten glass flows unhindered under the influence of gravity.

In the process, he created a system with a serious flaw.

Graphic design often refers to both the process ( designing ) by which the communication is created and the products ( designs ) which are generated.

The Act of Union of 1800 formally assimilated Ireland within the British political process and from 1 January 1801 created a new state called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which united the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland to form a single political entity.

The strong bond between jacket and core created by the electroplating process makes expanding bullets hold together very well, and the Gold Dot line is now in use by many police departments.

As part of this process, in 1986 British Telecom created a Manx-registered subsidiary company, Manx Telecom, to bid for the tender.

Diesel engines and HCCI ( Homogeneous charge compression ignition ) engines, rely solely on heat and pressure created by the engine in its compression process for ignition.

This created the necessity for the transfer of allegiance and practice from the old gods and heroes to the new religion, and for the gradual adaptation of the old system of image making and veneration to a Christian context, in the process of Christianization.

In this process the light electron obtains a high velocity so that the temperature of the created electronic gas is much higher ( of the order of thousand K ) than the one of ions and neutrals.

Objectivism is a system of philosophy created by philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand ( 1905 – 1982 ) that holds: reality exists independent of consciousness ; human beings gain knowledge rationally from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive and deductive logic ; the moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness or rational self-interest.
