This logico-semantical approach to physical problems is characteristic of medieval natural philosophy and should be kept in mind when we wonder to what extent medieval physics can be considered a precursor to modern physics.
To the extent that physics is linked to the transcendent world of objective reality, it cannot arise as the direct object of intuition, but must, like the transcendent world itself, be presented in symbolic form; more exactly, as the result of a process of symbolic construction.
Therefore, understanding the physics and extent of material degradation is crucial for designing a product that does not fail prematurely.
With unique erudition and breadth of vision, Peter Pesic uncovers the extent to which modern physics has been guided by the ancient idea of a world harmony governed by mathematics.
RFID is an application of physics to the extent that the laws of physics govern the core functioning of RFID technology.
Another point that the panelists debated was the extent of technology, statistics, and physics in the advancement of life science research.
In the long term, we hope that participants will engage in a critical review of the extent to which their existing physics for life sciences curricula support competency building and subsequently adopt NEXUS curriculum modules designed to bolster those competencies.
In a celebrated text in "Principles of Philosophy," Descartes writes, "It is certain that all the rules of mechanics belong to physics, to the extent that all artificial things are thereby natural... .......... [T]hey are thus the direct or indirect products of a technical activity that is as authentically organic as the flowering of trees.
The frequency with which two chromosomal segments come in contact, as measured in genome-wide chromosome conformation capture (3C) experiments (Dekker et al., 2002; Lieberman-Aiden et al., 2009), obeys to some extent the laws of polymer physics (Rippe, 2001; Wong et al., 2012).
These issues relate directly to traditional problems in the philosophy of science, including the status of the laws of nature, the relationships between mathematics, physical theory, and the world, and the extent to which mathematics suggests new physics.
