The first-order observation is that these igneous rocks were heated to temperatures up to 2200 K for seconds to minutes and then cooled between tens to hundreds of K hr-1 at pressures that stabilized silicate liquids. The energetic mechanism(s) that melted (or partially melted) these objects operated multiple times over millions of years. The intensity of these events was highly variable. The major assumption... 

Several ways in which state can be influenced by energetical mechanisms ate as follows ... 

Most energetical mechanisms that determine the state of the organism ate autonomic they are unconscious and not under voluntary control. 

Different types of states may be described in terms of the energetical mechanisms involved. This has been done at different levels of speeifieity. 

One important topic for future research is the interaction or interplay between energetical mechanisms and psychological resources that comprise the construct of mental workload. Given that psychophysiological measures appear to reflect both general and specific aspects of workload, they provide a potentially ideal methodology with which to examine the control and deployment of... 

Equation (32.17) shows that the retractive force /elastic is linear in the displacement X, like a Hooke s law spring. Polymeric materials can be stretched to many times their undeformed size. (Metal can be stretched too, but only to a much smaller extent, and by a different, energetic, mechanism.) Fully stretched, the size of a chain is determined by its contour length, L = Nb. In its undeformed state, its average size is = N b, so a polymer chain can be stretched...
