N ov 2 00 1 Hyperbolic theories of dissipation : Why and when do we need them ?
We illustrate and emphasize the relevance of hyperbolic theories of dissipation in different physical scenarios. Particular attention is paid to self–gravitating systems where the relaxation time may become large enough as to require a description of the transient regime. It is argued that even outside that regime, hyperbolic theories may be needed to provide an accurate description of dissipat...
متن کاملExtubation Algorithms : Why , where and when do we need them ?
Algorithms are becoming increasingly popular as a standardized approach to difficult and unique problems. Many resources have been spent on searching for a perfect algorithm for difficult intubations. In this issue, Voscopoulos et al. have proposed in this article an algorithm of extubation in the operating room after a difficult intubation. In this editorial we will first concentrate on the ne...
متن کاملWhy do we need theories?
Theories organize knowledge and construct objectivity by framing observations and experiments. The elaboration of theoretical principles is examined in the light of the rich interactions between physics and mathematics. These two disciplines share common principles of construction of concepts and of the proper objects of inquiry. Theory construction in physics relies on mathematical symmetries ...
متن کاملWhat Are Ontologies , and Why Do We Need Them ?
THEORIES IN AI FALL INTO TWO broad categories: mechanism theories and content theories. Ontologies are content theories about the sorts of objects, properties of objects, and relations between objects that are possible in a specified domain of knowledge. They provide potential terms for describing our knowledge about the domain. In this article, we survey the recent development of the field of ...
