Systems thinking framework

DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF FRAMEWORK FOR COAL MINE SAFETY PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON SYSTEMS THINKING... 

In this chapter, the author identified and outlined the requirements for the new system based framework for system safety analysis and management. Furthermore, using the framework requirements as the baseline, the author analysed the existing methodologies, drawing on the experience depicted in Chapter 4, and summarised the critique of current thinking in this chapter. 

Claude Debru My point is not a comment on reductionism, but a comment on the movement of the planets. We know since Poincare that the movement of the planets is chaotic, which means that it would be predictable if we would have the knowledge of the initial conditions of the system. But in the ignorance of this data of the initial conditions, it remains unpredictable. So I think this qualifies some ideas, perhaps. I don t know how it fits into the framework about reductionism - because you mentioned the movement of the planets. 

Bringing the entire system together in a set of priorities provides a framework for all of us and demonstrates to our supporters that we can make statements about what we think is important. 

As long as one is making predictions on the basis of equilibrium cell potentials, one can talk only of tendencies for deelectronation and electronation at the interfaces. Once the system spontaneously drives a current through the external load, the current density at each interface will set up a current-produced potential (i.e., an overpotential) T. What effect will the overpotentials at the two electrodes have on the cell potential V, an increase or decrease in it To answer that question, one has to abandon the Nemst framework of equilibrium potentials and think in the Butler-Volmer framework of electrodics. 

In this section, some basic theoretical approaches to understanding electron transfer will be reviewed. Although more complex and more quantitatively accurate theories exist (see Volume I of this handbook), a discussion of these is beyond the scope of this review. The simple theories discussed below are intended only to provide a useful framework for thinking about the photophysics and photochemistry of the porphyrin based donor-acceptor systems reviewed in this chapter. 

Methodology. Unquestionably, the application of quantum mechanics to chemical bonding has revolutionized scientific thinking. In fact, the modern theoretical framework of chemistry rests on quantum physics. In principle, the Schrodinger equation may be solved for any chemical system. No prior knowledge of any analogous or related system is necessary. Exactly solvable problems are rare, due to the mathematical complexities recourse must then be made to approximate methods, and many powerful approaches have been devised. Generally, approximate solutions must suffice for the size of molecules of pharmaceutical interest.
