Indifferent states definition

In every example that we have discussed, we have pointed out that it is possible to transfer matter at constant pressure and temperature between the phases present without causing any change in the composition of any phase. This observation permits another definition of an indifferent state of... 

It is very often necessary to characterize the redox properties of a given system with unknown activity coefficients in a state far from standard conditions. For this purpose, formal (solution with unit concentrations of all the species appearing in the Nernst equation its value depends on the overall composition of the solution. If the solution also contains additional species that do not appear in the Nernst equation (indifferent electrolyte, buffer components, etc.), their concentrations must be precisely specified in the formal potential data. The formal potential, denoted as E0, is best characterized by an expression in parentheses, giving both the half-cell reaction and the composition of the medium, for example E0,(Zn2+ + 2e = Zn, 10-3M H2S04). 

In addition to the somatic side-effects of neuroleptics, there are a number of important psychiatric side-effects, such as demotivation or indifference (a direct effect of most drugs, actually part of the definition of the neuroleptic effect). This may mimic the negative features of the illness and may lead to prescriptions of an antidepressant when a reduction in dose or change of antipsychotic may be more appropriate. A second key problem is anxious activation or akathisia. This dose-dependent dysphoric state may lead to an apparent worsening in the clinical picture and accordingly an increase in antipsychotic dose rather than decrease and may be so intolerable as to lead on to suicide. 

This fact, of course, throws no light on the question whether there exists an indifferent relative motion of both molecules or whether for some reason or other only one definite configuration occurs in practice (i.e. one representing a state of equilibrium), or finally whether we must suppose that an equilibrium between several configurations is rapidly reached. 

Is normalization compulsory This is more or less a matter of taste because the scale of the wave function is indifferent when using its differential or exponential expression 9.103. Many definitions of the wave function are made by dividing it by the square root of + 6, thus normalizing it in the interval [-1, +1] and depriving the wave function from unit. This requires holding two variables for characterizing the state of an oscillator, the normalized wave function and the quantity by which it has been normalized. What may become different from a question of taste is when the second variable is abandoned. In particular, as a result of this, the normalized wave function is unable to model a nonconservative oscillator (as in the case of a damped oscillator, for instance). This is one of the difficulties met in quantum physics for taking into account dissipation and irreversibility. 

This is the constitutive equation or rheological equation of state for the elastic dumbbell suspensions. It is identical to the upper-convected Maxwell model, eq. 4.3.7. The molecular dynamics have led to a proper (frame-indifferent) time derivative and to a definition...
